Chapter 879: Something was amiss
Chapter 879: Something was amiss
Jedrek did not let Lilac stay on the battlefield before he charged forward with the rest of the lycanthropes and the faeries. He managed to convince the guardian angel to stay behind with Theo and Sybil.
The general did not seem happy with the fact that he was left out. However, what choice did have when it was a direct order from the king himself.
Not only that, even before he went to wreak havoc, Jedrek used the same method that he had used in the past, which left Lilac speechless…
Hadn't their relationship improved greatly? So, why did he still have to make her aggravated again? Did he lose his mind?
However, seeing how serious he was to prevent her from taking part in this fight, forced the guardian angel to relent reluctantly.
Lilac didn't want to make an unnecessary scene at a time when they were pressed to complete a crucial thing first.
Therefore, here she was; hiding behind the Lycan warriors, waiting for this battle to be settled quickly.
Since the day Theo's neck got slit by that other general, he was no longer able to say even a word. The healer said; he lost his ability to speak.
Honestly, Lilac pitied him, but because Theo didn't let out anything from his rigid expression, sometimes, Lilac forgot he was once able to speak if it was not for that incident.
Yet, she liked Theo, who couldn't talk. Heartless or not, she liked not to hear any snarky comments.
Far from them, the battle was still on full swing. Under the hills, dark and red colors filled the air from the magic spells of the fairies and the spell-casters.
Lilac's eyes were focused on a certain beast. That particular beast moved very quickly just like a?white haze, meticulously dodging the attacks and curses from the spell-casters.
But, even when one or two spells hit him, it was not enough to take him down.
Lilac just remembered the fact that she came to know about the white beast body's otherworldly defensive nature. Most magic tricks and spells couldn't affect them.
Upon this realization, Lilac was a little bit relieved as she tried to focus on assisting the other Lycan warriors and the faes to reach the city.
They aimed for their last ground, but it was still difficult to get rid of those spell-casters.
Meanwhile, Sybil tried to ward off any curses that went astray and came in their direction.
Blood continuously splattered on the ground, limbs were being torn apart from their bodies, as their owners bled to death.
No one knew for sure, how this battle would end…
But, when Lilac looked toward the far end of the gigantic walls, she felt something was amiss… her instincts told her that this battle shouldn't even happen in the first place.
==============
"Are you sure, we should leave this place?" Raine looked at Torak with a deep frown between her brows. "Why don't we just continue to wait for Jedrek and Lilac to come back before we leave this place under Raphael's control?" Raine asked again, she did not like the fact that the three of them had to be separated for a long time.
Though it sounded ridiculous, Nutdrouk's words kept resounding in her head about them shouldn't be going on separate ways.
Raine didn't say anything about this, since she knew Torak was quite irritated every time she mentioned the dwarf, and having an argumentation with Torak was the last thing that Raine wanted now.
And as for Lidya, she returned a few hours after Raine and Hope's return.
"Raphael can handle this," Torak said, he leaned over and kissed her forehead to ease her worries. "I can hear your mind, buzzing in my head."
Total tucked a strand of her hair behind her ears, and looked at her intensely.
"Don't worry too much about this, we will return as fast as we could." Torak tried his best to persuade her, but he was still not able to get rid of the cloud that overshadowed her face.
Both of them walked toward the gates where they had sent Jedrek and Lilac off just a few days ago.
Raine could already see that Hope and Kace had been waiting for them, with another two couples; Raphael and Lana, Calleb and Rosie, along with little Bree, who looked quite small among those adults.
Lana was talking with Hope when Raine and Torak arrived near the small group, while Kace grumbled something about them being late, which was brushed off by Torak ignorantly.
On the other hand, once Raine was within Calleb's arms-length, the Gamma pulled her closer for a hug.
At first, Raine was surprised that Calleb acted ignorant in front of his mate, but when Raine glanced in Rosie's direction, she noticed that the latter didn't seem to mind it at all.
Yet, there was still another person, who expressed his displeasure by letting out a small groan.
That was a sign for Calleb to let go of Raine and of course after doing so, he grinned foolishly at his Alpha.
If it was someone else, they would have lost all his limbs by now…
And not too long after this small squabble, Eaton and Sterling too came to send them off, also to talk about the final assignment of their tasks when all the Donovans left the castle.
It was a rare occasion, but Torak trusted Raphael to handle everything, and the Beta was determined to meet Torak's expectations.
Torak's adjustment wouldn't go wrong, right?
While the men were busy talking about their strategies and everything that involved fighting and bleeding, Raine turned her attention to Lana's bump.
Her stomach looked bigger than the last time she saw her.
"Can I?" Raine asked for permission to touch her stomach and Lana nodded happily.
"Of course," Lana moved closer to let Raine touch her stomach. "Maybe you can see his future," Lana said.
Gently, Raine put her hand on top of Lana's stomach. "I will try," Raine said with a small smile on her lips.
And then, when she concentrated on the baby, everything faded away before Raine's eyes, as she watched a boy, around the age of four, waving his hands and calling someone 'daddy' excitedly!
Raine smiled when she thought that the boy was calling Raphael, but Raine frowned slightly when she saw Calleb coming closer to the boy.
Why did the boy call Calleb as his father and not Raphael?
