Chapter 938: The flickering of golden light
Before Torak and Kace could tear each other apart, Jedrek had intervened by punching and kicking?both of his younger brothers, one each to the either sides of the room.
Lilac didn't stay quiet seeing this scene, she stepped forward and created roots that coiled around Torak and Kace's beasts, strong enough to make them stay still.
However, it was only a matter of time before they could break free, fortunately Torak and Kace still listened to Jedrek as they stopped fighting. They growled and snarled, but didn't make any attempt to fight each other again.
"SHIFT BACK!" Jedrek roared, as he appeared in his human form. Only when Torak and Kace had shifted back, did Lilac loosen the roots that chained them.
"F*ck with this war, I will tear you apart if you lay your filthy hands on my mate," Torak cursed, his red eyes glared at Kace, who reciprocated the same hostility.
"F*ck you with your mate! You thought you are always right with every decision that you made! You think just because you are an Alpha, everything will run smoothly as long as everyone followed your command!" Kace snarled at his brother while Hope struggled to calm him down, something surely triggered Kace for him to act like this.
"It's not your loss solely! We lost Raphael too!" Raine yelled at Kace and Hope watched as the dark aura that surrounded her grew thicker.
Hope wondered whether this was what the dwarf said about Raine's tainted soul. She looked around the room to find Nutdrouk and spotted him at the corner of this room, trying to be as?invisible as possible in this heated situation.
She needed to talk to him about this. She was worried about Raine…
"Enough both of you!" Lilac interfered this time. She stared at Raine in disbelief, since she had never seen the latter lose her temper in such a manner.
However, this quarrel should end now. It was not only them in this room, there were other lycans and shifters too, it wouldn't be good for them to see their leaders trying to kill one another in a fit, it wouldn't bring unity.
And just like how the others had felt it, Lilac also could say that the atmosphere was very thick and tense. It gave an uncomfortable feeling for them. Something that they couldn't explain… like depression.
"Don't you dare to yell at me," Torak warned Lilac, but he received a glare from Jedrek from talking that way to the king's mate.
"Okay, enough!" Lilac screamed. She wanted this to stop. "No one is right or wrong in this matter, we made our own mistakes! Those people were dead, but we will lose more people if you kept trying to act like this instead of the Alpha you are!"
"I am not an Alpha," Kace mentioned it sharply. He didn't have many people for him to take care of. That was why, he cherished all the people that were close to him the most, his small circle of friends here and there was something that made him felt like he had a family. They were his family. On top of that Lana…
"Kace," Hope spoke to him. "I think of Lana like my sister too, it is not only you who feel the pain of losing her, but can you please calm down? What Lilac said is true, we will lose even more people at this rate."
The pain that Kace felt intensified by the strange atmosphere that surrounded them.
Right at that time, a popping sound was heard inside the room, indicating the arrival of another group of lycans that came to this place.
And it was Leon with a group of people.
His eyes immediately searched for Kace and once he found him, he raised his hand in a friendly manner. "Hi, Kace I came to help!" he said cheerfully and walked toward his buddy, yet when he felt the tension that surrounded them, he knew that something was wrong. "Did I come at a wrong time?"
Hope walked toward Raine, who still kept her eyes on Kace, under Torak's hard glare, yet she knew the Alpha wouldn't do anything to her unless she did something dangerous to his mate.
"Raine, are you okay?" she asked, but Raine shied away and stood behind Torak, then Hope saw it, a flicker of golden light in Raine's dark eyes.
How could that be?
==============
"The existence of the non- human species have been uncovered, estimated numbers of those creatures were still unknown, but the government assumed it covers a quarter of the city's population. Among those numbers, there are names of influenced people, such as Mr. Gregory Dmatrio, Mr. Torak Donovan…"
Rossie switched the television channel that she was watching now, only to find some more similar news to the previous one.
"…from the discovery of the non- human species, the government declared that it is the reason of the aggressive behavior of the people recently…"
Rossie switched the channel again.
"…military sources confirm that the primary measures of defense against the non- humans are silver, as they appear to have fatal sensitivity to the aforementioned metal..."
Rossie changed into another channel, as she frowned darkly.
"…Tents are camped near every barricade throughout the city, a test will be administered to verify whether you are of human or non- human existence…"
And then the television was switched off when someone took the remote control from Rossie's hand.
"Stop watching such depressing news." Addair sat down beside Rossie and threw the remote away from her. "Don't watch anything on the television from now on," she said grimly. The situation outside was not really good to see, it only added to their anxiousness.
Not only the war with the devils, but they were also being chased down by the humans.
The question was; how could humans see them? They always believed that their existence was only a myth, moreover they couldn't be able to see them in their beast's form.
So, what now?
It seemed like the supernatural and the human worlds were on the verge of a collision…
