Chapter 891: She wanted her mate
Chapter 891: She wanted her mate
The screams were getting louder and louder, as many women started to wail in pain upon the loss of their other halves, the precious souls that solely belonged to them.
Even Sophie couldn't mask her fear anymore, she was worried about her mate and both of her sons. The twins insisted on going along with Sterling and they never looked so determined like that until Sophie couldn't refuse their pleas.
At first, Sophie didn't think that the situation would turn out this worse, she thought it was only an attack from the citizens because they were displeased with the fact that the Donovans were not there to rule.
Who would have thought that the whole city became crazy and attack the castle without a second thought?
"They will be fine, all of them will be fine," Sophie chanted those few words like a charm, as she pulled Rossie and Bree into her warm hug, but actually, those words were for her, to calm herself down.
Though they didn't know exactly what was going on out there, but the fact that she didn't feel the pain indicating the broken mate bond, was enough to assure her that Sterling and her other two sons were still alive.
Sophie looked at Lana, whose face was contorted with anxiety, but aside from that, she was fine. Lana must have known as well that Raphael was still alive right now. So did Rossie…
For now, they could feel relieved for not experiencing such a painful feeling, but every second that passed was beyond agonizing to bear.

"She kissed you…" Lilac said with pain in her eyes.
"What?" Jedrek frowned. He didn't quite get what Lilac meant by that. "What do you mean?" he didn't even realize Serefina's presence, perhaps her scent must have gone along with the destruction that Lilac had created.
Lilac raised her head and looked Jedrek straight in his eyes. "It was not me, who helped you, it was her." And then she told him briefly about what Serefina told her about the curse.
Meanwhile, Jedrek listened to her grimly, but didn't say a word about it.
"She loves you Jedrek," Lilac said in a tight voice. The anger and jealousy started to boil her blood again, which she tried to suppress. "She could betray all of us, but she still came to look for you in your difficult time…"
"She betrayed me," Jedrek emphasized his words. Serefina betrayed him and that fact didn't change even when she came to help him.
"She loves you, despite what she had done to you, she still came to look for you the moment she knew you were in trouble," Lilac said, ignoring the pain that she felt gnawing her heart.
She didn't want to feel this way toward someone, who had saved Jedrek and helped his condition turn better, but this someone was Serefina and she couldn't stomach the fact she had done yet another favor for Jedrek.
Jedrek sighed deeply. "What do you want to say, my little flower?"
"I feel useless," Lilac voiced out her insecurities.
Call her narrow-minded and petty, but how could she readily accept the fact that she just witnessed her mate's ex-lover kissed him right before her eyes when she couldn't do anything to prevent that from happening.
The taunting smirk and her provoking eyes when she looked at her while kissing Jedrek, were something that Lilac would never be able to forget.
"What do you mean by 'you feel useless'?" Jedrek disagreed with her statement. "Your existence alone is a blessing for me."
"Said someone, who killed me once!" Lilac stared at Jedrek sharply. "I feel honored," she scoffed.
"That was my greatest mistake that I have ever made." Jedrek stood up and helped Lilac to stand on her feet as well, while the other lycanthropes and faes were ready to take an order from him. "You can kill me if that can make you feel better and make us even."
Lilac grimaced when she heard Jedrek's dark jokes and then she remembered that she indeed almost killed him if Serefina didn't stop them.
If only what she said was right…
"You know I will never do that," Lilac grumbled.
"Said someone, who ruined my castle and fought all of my generals, to get her revenge," Jedrek gave back her words to her. "But, I love you nonetheless. You are mine now."
Lilac felt slightly better.
"Now, our business is done here, we need to go back to the castle," Jedrek said, as both of them looked at the direction where the city existed a few hours ago, but now it was nothing but an empty ground.
Lilac heaved a heavy breath and wiped the remaining tears from her face.
A lot of things had happened within these few hours and she couldn't decide which one she had to think about first.
Serefina, the city, the fact that she had killed more people than she could imagine, the possibilities that she had killed Killian and Tordoff too… the castle, the war…
Lilac closed her eyes. She was very tired.
"Jedrek," Lilac called him when she felt his big hand caressing her back soothingly, as he led her back to the rest of the people, who had gathered to wait for them. "Serefina used the blood of the guardian angels."
And following that, Lilac told him everything that the witch told her.
But, thinking about it again, Serefina could just leave her out of the details that she could manage creating something as powerful as that.
Did she just reveal a tiny part of the devil's plan by telling them so? As they knew about this, they would know what the worst thing that would come in their way…
==============
The bunker was filled with the whimperings and painful moans of women and children, who were wailing and crying from the agony they felt for losing their loved ones.
And Lana felt even more terrified hearing all of them cry in soul wrenching agony. She caressed her stomach, in response her baby kicked the place where she put her hand, and tears continued to roll down her cheeks.
She wanted her mate…
She wanted Raphael…
