Chapter 882: She is there!
Lilac entered the tent to check upon any progress in Jedrek's condition.
However, she just realized that his current condition was the same as before, or it could be said that it was more severe than the last time she checked on him.
There was a deep frown between Lilac's eyes, as she walked over to sit on the edge of the bed.
"Jedrek," Lilac leaned over to whisper to him.
"My little flower…" Jedrek whispered back to her with his eyes still closed.
"Yes, it's me," Lilac caressed his face and felt his cold skin on her fingers. "Can you turn your body over?" she asked him gently.
Jedrek opened his eyes and looked at his mate. He had been feeling utterly exhausted since the last battle with the spell-casters where he tried to suppress them and forced them to give him his people back.
"What do you want to do?" Jedrek asked in a hoarse voice, his eyes turned sharp when he realized that Lilac was up to something.
"I think this is the same thing that happened to you before…" Lilac said as she sat down at the edge of the bed and held his hands firmly. "I want to see your back."
It would be easier if this was the same curse that Maximus had put on Jedrek months ago. It meant, she could help Jedrek to feel better, though the process was not comfortable, but they didn't have any other choice, right? Jedrek didn't have to choice to refuse doing it either.
They were running out of time and now, Lilac felt they were just wasting their time being here waiting.
Was this just a distraction? But, for what?
Yet, everything was possible since their enemies were the devils. They always have a thousand plans to plot against them and prevent the lycanthropes to unite with the other creatures and won the upcoming war.
"What is it?" Jedrek frowned, he was very upset because he had to be bedridden at a time like this. This stupid curse or whatever they put on him, had drained his energy and now, he could barely feel his beast.
"I think this is the same thing that happened to you before. The curse that Maximus put on you…" Lilac said.
"Do you think so?" Jedrek narrowed his eyes. "I was not like this before…"
Indeed.
Before, Jedrek could still stand tall and act normal, as if he was not suffering from the last 'gift' that Maximus gave to him.
However now, it was indeed very different.
Jedrek could barely stay awake for longer than a few minutes and this aggravated him for being so weak, yet there was nothing he could do.
"Let me see first," Lilac was adamant to see it and Jedrek finally relented. He turned his body and showed his back to Lilac.
There, Lilac could see the deep agonizing gashes, which disappeared when Jedrek marked her, being reappeared again.
Not only that, it looked more terrifying than before.
"Jedrek!" Lilac gasped loudly, as her hands moved to cover her scream.
"Is it that bad?" Jedrek asked in a light tone, as if it didn't surprise him at all.
"Jedrek, don't you feel any pain?!" Lilac was almost crying upon seeing what she saw right now.
Jedrek moved his body again and watched his mate staring at him with tears in her beautiful eyes. "I don't feel any pain," he stretched out his hand and Lilac held it, as she put his palm against her cheek. "Don't cry…"
If only Jedrek could see what Lilac was seeing, he would know how much it pained her to see him in his current state.
"We have to do what we have done before," Lilac said softly. It was the only thing that could make him feel better.
Jedrek didn't immediately answer her neither did he agree with her and Lilac knew what was going on in his mind, therefore she wiped the tears from her cheeks and looked at Jedrek right in his eyes.
"We have to do that," Lilac said firmly.
"It will hurt you," Jedrek said after a few moments. He didn't want to do the same thing like before as he knew the consequences.
Yet, Lilac was determined to do this. If this could cure him, then it would be the most important thing that should be done now. "We have done it before and I was fine, there won't be any difference now."
Jedrek knew it, but it didn't mean he could overlook her pain and agree to it.
"Our supplies is running out and all the warriors and the fairies feel anxious now since you have not recovered for days," Lilac's voice sounded hard as she tried to make her point across. "Either we did this or I will lead those people out there to break the city wall, no matter what it takes."
"You will lead those people into a fight?" Jedrek asked incredulously, his breathing became unstable, but even now he knew that Lilac meant every word she said.
"You know I will," Lilac said and Jedrek nodded lightly.
"I know you will," Jedrek agreed.
After saying that, they were staring into each other eyes, before he stretched out his hands and pulled her closer to him.
Jedrek kissed her lips lightly while saying, "I will hurt you again…" there was deep regret in his voice.
Yet, Lilac didn't want to hear that right now, thus she smiled and teased him. "It will not be the first time."
And Jedrek smiled along with her. "You don't make me feel better, my little flower," he said.
Lilac leaned over to kiss his lips and lingered a little longer before she pulled back and showed her neck, where Jedrek's mark was placed.
If Jedrek had to sap her power, so be it.
However, after waiting for a few seconds longer than necessary, Lilac didn't feel Jedrek's movement, instead she heard a familiar voice greeting them.
"You will kill him if you let him mark you in his current condition, you stupid little girl," said the unexpected guest derisively.
Lilac immediately turned around and her eyes widened in surprise upon seeing that particular person in their tent.
