Chapter 827: Aggravated
Chapter 827: Aggravated
Torak couldn't believe what was unfolding before his eyes now, even Calleb, who always had a thousand comments for everything that he came across, was lost for words now.
Before their eyes, Jedrek Donovan, lowered himself until his knees touched the ground. The proud king reduced his pride and prestige to nothing in front of the traitor and their enemies.
However, this humiliation didn't make his brother embarrassed. His red eyes fixed at his mate, who was in danger right now, filled with determination.
Behind Chiron, the seven devils laughed triumphantly. Enjoying the view.
On the other hand, Chiron didn't show any emotion, whether he liked it to see Jedrek this way or not, it was hard to tell.
Meanwhile, Carina and Zarrn had the same shocked expressions as Kace. They didn't think that Jedrek would actually do what Chiron had asked him to do.
"You got what you want, now give me my mate back," Jedrek said in low and toneless voice. Even in this position right now, the Alpha's tone and aura around him couldn't deny that he was still the respectful Donovan.
Torak and his small entourage were standing a little bit faraway from Jedrek and the others. He was not sure, whether they didn't realize that they were near or they were simply too occupied with what was happening in front of them, either way, Torak's presence didn't change the fact that Jedrek was pleading the centaur for his mate's life.
Somehow, this made Torak angry, but the other part of him understood why Jedrek had done this. He would have also done the same, if it was Raine, who was being pointed by a dagger at this moment.
Raine could feel Torak's grip around her waist tighten and she knew what was in his mind.
"Now you plead for your mate's life…" Chiron spoke, he sounded as if he was daydreaming. "Now, you are in my position from centuries ago."
From behind, Mammon walked closer and put his hand on Chiron's shoulder. The proximity between the devil and Lilac, made Jedrek growl in anger.
"Ssst…" Mammon put his forefinger in front of his lips and shushed Jedrek mockingly. Just like the other devils, he shared the same golden eyes similar to the rest of them, but he had long hair like the guardian angel, in the color of silver. "Are you satisfied with what you are seeing right now?" he asked Chiron.
The centaur looked at Carina, who was staring back at him with fear palpable in her eyes and then Zarrn, who shook his head while mouthing 'stop it' to him.
And then Chiron looked at Jedrek, who was staring at Lilac, as if she was his entire world.
Jedrek had tried to reach Lilac several times through mind- link, since he had marked her, but he couldn't. There was something that blocked him, this feeling was almost like when the castle was being intruded by the devils yesterday.
"How is it? How do you feel now?" Mammon lowered his head and whispered to Chiron, the whisper of the devil… "He just sits there and does nothing, and you let him go easily just like that? Did you forget about what he had done to your mate? To your people?"
"Stop it," Lilac gritted her teeth, she felt weak, but the anger that boiled her blood upon watching how they were humiliating Jedrek, gave her some strength to throw a nasty look at the devil. "Is that all you can do? Manipulate others?" she sneered in disgust.
Mammon tilted his head and looked at Lilac with interest before a devilish smile cracked at the corner of his lips, as he replied proudly. "Yes," he said haughtily. "Do you want to see how far my manipulation can go?" The two of them talked in low voices which made it difficult for the other parties involved to hear them properly. "Watch and learn."
Right after Mammon said that, he pressed his hand on Chiron's shoulder harder, as the eyes of the centaur flickered to golden for a few seconds.
Mammon moved closer toward Chiron and whispered something in a strange language that Lilac couldn't understand, but she felt Chiron's arm around her neck tightened as the sharp point of the dagger pierced through the cloak that she was wearing.
Fortunately, Chiron stopped in time before it could pierce Lilac's skin.
However, his eyes focused on Carina, as he spoke to her calmly. "Carina, this is the time."
They didn't understand what Chiron meant by that, yet before they could comprehend it, Carina had moved faster and attacked the beast beside her.
In a blink of an eye, Carina made a slash move and clawed the beast's neck.
Thankfully, Eaton had the agility that managed to save his life as he dodged her attack quickly and the sharp things under Carina's nails only grazed the side of his face.
The beast maneuvered immediately and roared angrily as he leapt onto Carina's body, but before he could cut her open, Zarrn had bumped his body against him.
The beast's claws only grazed Carina's left arm before he landed on the ground, ready to make second attempt to finish both of the centaurs.
"If you stand up and shift into your beast, she will die," Mammon said merrily, when he saw that Jedrek was about to shift into his beast, he enjoyed what he was seeing now. "I love to be in control like this… you know what? I controlled your father like this too."
"You hurt her and you will have nothing to hold me back," Jedrek was aggravated.
Upon hearing that, Kace snarled loudly. His eyes turned red, but he didn't dash toward the devil, instead he moved to block Eaton's next attack.
"STOP!"
This was the first time that Kace used the Alpha's tone authoritatively on the other person and it had a great affect on him.
Kace subdued the beast as he couldn't even move to go against Kace's order.
"You!" Kace pointed his finger at Zarrn. "Keep your eyes on her, if she tried to attack one more time, I will be the one who will finish her off for good!" He was livid now. "And you as well!"
