Chapter 837: Waking up
Chapter 837: Waking up
"Hei, you don't know that she is rogue, do you? You don't like rogues, remember?" Hope reminded him.
She remembered the very first time they met, Calleb was a little bit mean toward her and later she got to know what was his problem.
"Right, you don't like a rogue," Kace chimed in and gave the gamma a dirty look.
"Hey, that's not true…" Calleb grumbled. His voice was so low, as if he was unsure with his own answer.
In the past, yes, he disliked rogues very much, since he lost his little sister due to a rogue attack, but it didn't mean he would reject his mate because of that.
Though, he still hated rogues in general, he got along with Hope and Lana just fine, as both of them would never do something harmful like usual rogues. Moreover, Lana couldn't be called a rogue anymore as she was already mated with Raphael now.
On the other hand, Hope sneaked her arms around Kace's waist and looked at Calleb teasingly. "She is my junior in high school and we are very close just like siblings, what do you think she will be thinking if I said you hate rogues?"
In an instant, Calleb's eyes filled with dread. He raised his hands in surrender, as he shook his head vigorously. "No, no, no!" He said hurriedly. "Why do you have to make that sound so awful? I don't hate them."
"Yes, but you dislike them, what's the difference." Hope shrugged her shoulders, enjoying the sight of a flustered Calleb who was sweating profusely.
"Raine… help me," Calleb turned to Raine and pleaded for her help.
However, Torak put his hand on her shoulder and took her away. "Don't bother my mate," he said curtly, which was rewarded with a playful slap on his chest from Raine. "Let's see how much effort he will put into it," Torak retorted upon seeing Raine's disagreeing look.
Raine contemplated for awhile and then giggled. "Good luck Call," she said cheerfully.
"Not you also…" Calleb sighed miserably.

Lilac woke up when she felt a spark on her arm, neck and cheek, as Jedrek caressed her skin lightly. When she opened her eyes, the bright sun shone through the window and illuminated the room, and forced her to close her eyes again.
Lilac let out a small grunt and immediately after that, a shadow casted upon her.
"You are awake."
Jedrek's voice rang in her ears beautifully and when Lilac opened her eyes again, she saw her mate's face, looking down at her with worry.
"Good morning," Lilac murmured and the worriness in his face cracked into a soft smile as he placed a kiss on her temple.
"Good morning," he replied to her. "How do you feel today?"
Lilac snuggled closer, seeking for warmth from Jedrek's body and closed her eyes, seemingly wanting to sleep again. This morning was very comfortable; bright sun outside the window and her mate beside her, it was perfect, and Lilac didn't want this moment to end.
Seeing his mate like this, Jedrek chuckled lightly and caressed her soft silky hair. Lately, this was his favorite thing to do now. He simply loved doing it.
"Don't fall asleep again, you need to eat something," he said.
"I am sleepy," Lilac said dreamily, as she nuzzled his chest.
"You have been sleeping for two days straight," Jedrek protested. He had been on the edge the past two days, filled with anxiety and fear that Lilac wouldn't open her eyes again, which he knew that it was only his silly thought.
This time, Torak and Kace didn't bothered him, they would just come a few times to discuss about something and let the guardian angels stay with Lilac, as they conversed, but after that they would go and didn't asked him to leave her side.
Even if they did asked, Jedrek would absolutely not agree to it, whatever they might say.
"Why? Do you miss me?" Lilac asked, she buried her face on his chest, so Jedrek couldn't see what kind of expression was on her face.
On the other hand, Jedrek didn't answer her immediately and continued to caress her back, until Lilac raised her head and looked at him with narrowed eyes, since he didn't answer her question.
"I will answer it if you get up and eat," Jedrek tried to bargain with his little mate.
"I will not get up and eat if you don't answer me," Lilac countered.
Upon hearing that, Jedrek laughed until Lilac could feel the rumble from his chest. "Can't you just agree with me once?"
"No," Lilac answered shortly.
"Yes, I miss you," Jedrek answered. "Now get up and eat something." He moved away and released his embrace around Lilac. "I will get your food."
Lilac was more than happy to see that Jedrek had warmed up to her, especially with the way he treated her now was a thousand times better than he did in the past.
Jedrek now, looked like someone different entirely. He looked less grumpy and was easier to approach. It was still fresh in her memory how Jedrek despised her the first time they met.
Is it because of the mate bond?
Absentmindedly Lilac touched the soft skin on her neck, which stung when she touched that spot. However, she knew it was his mark.
A soft smile appeared on her lips, but when she watched Jedrek's back, she remembered about what had happened in the meadow.
What was Jedrek planning do with the centaurs? Or, more precisely what would he do to Chiron?
Probably, she should ask him later, before he made a hasty decision and regret it for life.
However, there was one more question she was afraid to ask, which concerned Serefina…
Jedrek had seen Serefina in the meadow, right? It was impossible for him not to see her, right? Then, what would he do now, since Serefina had taken the devil's side?
Lilac herself didn't want to believe it, but she clearly saw Serefina had taken her blood and it meant a great deal to them.
The witch probably knew what would happen to let the guardian angel's blood fall into the devils hands, right?
