Chapter 875: Return
Chapter 875: Return
Raine's touch turned the dwarf into his previous state, the wrinkles on his skin disappeared along with his bony fingers, which now looked more fattened.
Only when Nutdrouk felt he had gone back to his usual figure, could he sigh in relief and wiped his face harshly.
Actually, the dwarf wanted to scold and protest, but Raine was still annoyed, thus he didn't want to aggravate her any further and worsen the situation even more, therefore he bit his tongue to prevent himself from ranting out.
"Let's go back to the castle," Raine said to Hope.
However, this time, she didn't wait for Nutdrouk or Lidya to take them back to the castle, instead she teleported herself and Hope.
This surprised the two people even more.
"Do you believe that?" Lidya walked over toward Nutdrouk, watching in awe when the two guardian angels disappeared before their eyes. "She teleported herself."
"I saw it," the dwarf grumbled while looking at his body and touched his face, he was afraid there was part of his body that had not yet returned to normal.
"How could she do that?" Lidya frowned. "She can't control her power at all before, but now it seems like she had mastered it for years."
"If you ask me, then who should I ask?" Nutdrouk groaned when he felt the harsh winds wiping his face, as he tightened the cloak that he was wearing. "I just followed what she told me," he said.
Whether it was good for the guardian angel or not, the dwarf didn't care much. He was already upset enough to be tricked by her this way to do her bidding like a dog.
Lidya glanced at the dwarf beside her and spoke languidly. "I am not sure if you are aware about this, but as an old friend, I just want to tell you the truth about what will be waiting for you once you return to the castle."
"What?!" the dwarf snapped irritably. He didn't think he want to hear something bad anymore.
"Two angry lycans and the whole pack that were waiting to chew you alive," Lidya said in a mocking tone and laughed loudly when she watched how the dwarf's expression changed instantly. "Don't tell me that you are expecting that you can come back as you wish and receive nothing after you had literally taken the two lycan's mates away for hours."
The dwarf stomped his feet angrily and grumbled something incoherently. Before he spat out. "F*ck them!" he tidied his cloak and raised his eyes to meet with Lidya's gaze, as he said. "You take care of the rest, I don't want to get involved in this anymore!"
And with a loud sound, the dwarf teleported himself from them, but for sure it wouldn't be to the castle.
==============
The time that Jedrek gave to Swan and the other spell casters was up and now they should give Killian and Tordoff back to them, yet instead of surrendering to the order, the spell casters lined up beneath the hill and busied themselves chanting spells after spells for their protection from the wrath of the lycanthropes.
However, they didn't have any idea what would come after them for their arrogance and self-righteous hypocrisy.
"If you don't want to see this, you can go back to the tent, I will ask someone to stay with you," Jedrek said to Lilac when they walked toward the hill, where they met Swan yesterday.
Even from afar, Lilac could see around five hundred spell casters standing just at the foot of the hill, to defend their city.
"No," Lilac shook her head. "Actually I need this to vent out some steam."
Jedrek raised his eyebrows when he heard Lilac's words. "What do you meant by venting out some steam?"
However, the guardian angel just groaned something incoherently and walked faster than him.
Yet, Jedrek caught her hand and pulled her back, he put his finger under her chin to lift her head, so he could see her straight in the eyes. "What are you upset about, little flower?" he asked with mirth in his eyes.
Jedrek knew what flared his mate's temper to this awful condition, he just wanted to hear it straight from her lips.
But, Lilac decided to respond in a different way, she swatted his hand away from her face and tiptoed in her attempt to look more dominant than the king, needless to say that was a futile attempt. Nevertheless, Jedrek was bemused by her effort.
"I will be fine, I can handle myself," Lilac said sternly and walked ahead of him, but she was still able to hear Jedrek's voice.
"Of course, you will my wild flower," Jedrek chuckled.
==============
Raine returned to the cabin that Nutdrouk had resided for a few days, she thought that this place would be empty, but she should have known that her overprotective mate would be there to look for her after she disappeared for hours without telling him anything.
Once Raine's eyes spotted Torak, she was already in his arms in the next second, being hugged so tight until she was having a hard time breathing.
"Torak, you are suffocating me," Raine, tapped his back to let him know that he was about to crush her bones.
"I am sorry," Torak murmured and let her go. "Are you alright?" he pulled back a little and scrutinized her closely at an arm's length of distance.
Meanwhile, Kace was reprimanding Hope for being so reckless. Even so, he already knew for sure that this would happen. The lycan was very certain that it was Hope's idea to follow the dwarf's suggestion.
After all, Kace had known her since she didn't even know how to utter a word properly. It was easy to guess who was the perpetrator of this commotion.
"Can you stop scolding me? I almost died, you know…" Hope grumbled and this tensed up the lycan instantly.
"What happened? Something happened to you?" Kace froze, he looked around to find Lidya and Nutdrouk, but it was only Hope and Raine, who returned. "Where are those two d*mn people!?" he seethed.
What did it mean that Hope almost died?!
