Chapter 959: Eddard is there too
It had been three days since the guardian angels had fell unconscious one after the other and no one knew why.
No.
Actually, Kace said something like; 'they will wake up when they feel like it,' and something like; 'Hope said she needed to do something.'
However, whatever Hope wanted to do, it was her business and had nothing to do with Raine or Lilac, right? So, why didn't the two of them still regain their consciousness? It didn't any make sense at all!
Jedrek spent most of his time accompanying Lilac, sitting beside her bed with the look of someone who had been waiting for his final verdict, while Torak wasn't really any different from him.
It was only Kace, who could still function properly. He managed to give an order to their fellow lycanthropes and planned a strategy to lessen the casualties, though it didn't solve the main problem, since they were not only fighting the devils, but also humans and vampires, at the same time too.
It would be hard for them to keep up with their initial plan; to prolong the war until they could find a solution.
At this point, he finally realized that maybe what Hope said was right. They shouldn't be blinded by their impulsiveness and hid this fact from the guardian angels.
After all, this was the purpose of their resurrection.
And if Selene, the moon goddess, could bring them back from extinction of their entire race, it should be not a big deal for the said goddess to bring them back from their death, right?
It gave a little hope to Kace, as he realized Hope's words made more sense than their rushed plan.
All they have to do was to talk about it with their mates and found a solution together. However, it was impossible to discuss this with Jedrek and Torak now. His elder brothers were too tensed to hear something like this and it wouldn't end up good for Kace too if he pushed them too far with this idea when their mates were not even able to speak a word.
Yet, in spite of the fact that the younger Donovan indeed believed that Hope would come after whatever things that she was doing now, still spending these past seven days without any progress in their condition left him perplexed.
Kace started to look a little bit restless when his mate didn't show any sign of waking up any soon.
Thus, here he was… sitting beside Hope's bed like what Jedrek and Torak were doing for the past few days. Whispering sweet nothings in to Hope's ears, as if she could hear him… maybe she could.
Coaxing her to open her eyes.
"Ehem."
Someone cleared their throat purposely to get his attention and this made Kace frown as he noticed Calleb, who was standing at the door.
Since when was he standing there?
"What?" Kace asked sharply and leaned back from Hope and watched as Calleb walked into the room casually.
"I want to talk about the matter regarding the red river city," Calleb said. Because he couldn't shift into his beast yet, he was in charge of whatever happened here, especially since the guardian angels fell unconscious all of a sudden.
"You can talk to Torak," Kace grumbled. He couldn't believe it that he took all the responsibility for the upcoming war while his elder brothers didn't even mind anything at the moment.
He would have laughed out loud if someone told him something like this would happen years ago, since Kace didn't have the tiniest bit of intention to take responsibility over giving a command to others, he wouldn't even consider bossing around a single soul, but now… here he was… replacing his two brothers and letting the burden of thousand hundreds of lives of shifters fall on his shoulders.
Great…
"You know how he is now," Calleb sighed, as he got a chair for him to sit down beside Hope's bed, on which Kace cradled Hope's head in his arms. "Talking to a wall is much better than talking to him."
"You are free to do that," Kace responded offhandedly. He didn't feel like he wanted to talk now. "There are many walls here," he said.
"Funny," Calleb commented dryly. "Listen." He straightened his back. "I got some information about the situation in the red river city."
"Humans?" Kace asked and glanced at Calleb for a second before he returned his attention toward Hope.
"Yes, Humans." Calleb nodded. "But, this time, the vampires and the spell-casters from the northern coven realm also started to make their move."
Kace clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Let those creatures kill each other and we will deal with the one who won in the end."
Humans with their advance technology and the vampires with their mortality, if they were in a different situation, it would be fun to see which side would win over the other.
However, Kace was not in the state to enjoy the situation.
"No, I think that will not be the case…" Calleb looked hesitant to tell this, he contemplated for a little bit longer and Kace let him take as long as he needed. "Our people said, their movement is slightly suspicious."
"Suspicious?" Kace raised his eyebrows at the Beta. "Do you really think they will announce their movements in broadcast stations?" he asked in disbelief, of course they would move suspiciously, secretively and as quietly as possible. What else did Calleb expect from the vampires?
Upon hearing Kace's snarky comment, Calleb rolled his eyes and hardened his tone. "They moved toward Abursque city," he said sternly.
Abursque city was the place where one of the castles of the dragon lord located, the same place they used as their last sanctuary.
But, more important than anything was; Rossie was there.
"If all the vampires and the spell-casters planned to attack that place at the same time, we don't have enough men to hold them back."
Kace looked contemplating, but Calleb pressed this matter, there was no way he would let something happen to Rossie, ignoring the fact that Kace wouldn't care much about her, still there was someone about whom Kace would absolutely care for…
"Eddard, Lana's son is there too…" Calleb said.
