Chapter 935: I will not lose you
"I don't know if you can see it or not, but I am seeing dark aura right now," Hope said, her voice was barely a whisper as her eyes locked onto the dark smoke like thing that was rolling up to the sky from the ground. "Tell me that I am not the only one who can see those things…"
Kace knew that Hope was able to see things that others couldn't see, just like how she managed to see the priestess's soul in the northern coven realm, but seeing her terrified expression right now, he realized that this aura she was speaking about was anything but good.
Nothing good was happening in these past few days and stumbling upon the news of Lana's death didn't make them think that was the end of it. Hell, they didn't even have time to mourn for her death properly and had to push that fact to the back of their minds.
It had just begun…
All of their nightmares had just begun now…
"No, Hope… it's just you…" Kace confirmed Hope's fear and then grabbed her hand. "Let's go, we need to find a shelter."
Kace didn't know where they should go from there, their mission for coming to this place was to find the phoenix and the fae, after which they intended to take the phoenix with them, because of some unclear reason, Purple couldn't leave this place.
It would be of no use to ask Torak's people to fetch the bird, because the phoenix wouldn't listen to someone who was not its owner, therefore, counting on the fact that the phoenix was willing to help Hope escape that frozen river, they thought Hope's presence could help them in retrieving the phoenix.
Who would have thought that something like this would happen as if the war was going to break out now itself! This place now reminded them hell, where the human world and the supernatural world fused into one.
"What the hell!" Kace cursed loudly when he saw three Kanimas in front of them and before the three filthy creatures could lay their claws on Hope, Kace had turned into his white beast and charged forward.
The phoenix above them dived toward one of the kanimas and burned the creature, while the white beast killed the other two easily.
Hope only came closer after the threat had been handled. The phoenix tilted its head, as it stared at her and stood on the ground.
Hope never thought that the phoenix could be as big as a full grown human. She always thought the phoenix was rather a small bird.
"How can we go back to the red river city?" Hope asked Kace and Purple. "Can't you teleport us to the red river city?" She stared at the fae expectantly, while caressing the head of the phoenix.
"I can't, I can't do that kind of magic, sorry," the latter said regretfully.
Hope watched Kace shifting back into his human form before he walked toward her. "But, you will come with us, right? We need to get out from this place." They couldn't leave Purple there alone, right? In this chaotic situation, there was a fat chance that something bad would happen to her.
Far from her predictions, Purple shook her head. "I can't leave this place… I bound to stay here. Even if I want to go somewhere, I can't."
"Why?" Hope's eyebrows creased. She was about to ask the fae to elaborate further when Kace patted her head.
"There is some kind of magic that we can't understand, Hope." Kace looked at Purple. "You are tied to this place because of your loyalty to Torak?" he asked the fae.
"Yes," Purple said. "Without a direct order from Alpha Torak, I can't leave this place."
Centuries ago, Torak took her with him when he left the realm after Jedrek subtly chased him out.
Maximus threatened to kill her. Because Maximus was very valuable to Jedrek at that time since he had all the support from the eastern region, there was no way Purple could live there when the vicious lycan was hellbent on taking her life.
After all, after Purple sealed the dragon shifters will to a vow that said they couldn't turn into their beasts, her life was not significant anymore, it wouldn't affect Jedrek in the slightest whether she was alive or dead.
However, years ago, Purple left this place without Torak's permission and met a werewolf…
"Where should we go then?" Hope looked around her and found herself being surrounded by many aggressive people who continued to destroy public facilities in their anger.
This place was very different from what she remembered before the planes crashed into one another, which was literally just a few hours ago…
"If news about these chaos reached Alpha Torak, he will probably come," Purple murmured. "There is one place that I'm sure he will visit if he teleport himself here."
==============
Calleb gave Rossie a forehead kiss, which lingered longer than necessary.
However, it was not only him, a few lycans, who had to leave their mates behind to follow Torak, were busy doing similar things, expressing their longing toward each other.
Around two hundred lycanthropes were ordered to go with Torak and Jedrek, while the rest needed to wait for the other witches and wizards to come and teleport them to Rieka.
"Are you okay?" Jedrek asked Lilac when he took her backpack and slung it on his shoulder.
"I am fine," Lilac said. "I can't imagine that we've already reached this point…" Her voice sounded as if she was contemplating about something.
"What are you thinking now?" Jedrek could feel it in their mate bond; Lilac was restless.
Actually, there were a lot of things that she was thinking about now, but all she could say was; "Nothing."
Jedrek stared at her for a bit longer before he pressed his lips onto hers and kissed her deeply out of the blue.
"What was that?" Lilac asked, feeling out of breath when Jedrek finally ended their kiss.
"Nothing," he replied using the same words. "I just want to kiss you and tell you that everything will be all right."
And also tell you that I will not lose you…
