Chapter 710 - A LESSON FROM LILAC
"What?" Theo frowned. "Why?" he was not a little bit happy by Lilac's order.
The general was aware that the guardian angel before his eyes was not a weak creature like what people had known for centuries, but he still refused to be ordered around by her. It seemed old habit died hard. His pride didn't allow him to bow down to the guardian angel.
However, not every lycanthrope in this room had the same thoughts as him. At least, Eaton did not.
The former beta of Janus stood up and was about to offer his chair when Lilac shook her head. "I want his chair," she said sternly, crossing her arms, she didn't take her eyes off Theo.
"I will ask someone to take another chair for you," Eaton spoke again. If Lilac persisted like now, the meeting wouldn't start, as he knew Theo wouldn't bow his head to her.
"No," Lilac said calmly, she shifted her attention toward Eaton and caught his gaze that said; 'don't make things difficult,' yet Lilac ignored it. "He should know that it is rude to reject direct order from his Luna."
"You are not my Luna," Theo said through his gritted teeth, he glared at Lilac.
"Not your Luna?" Lilac raised her eyebrows and tilted her head at Jedrek. "He said I am not your Luna." She shrugged her shoulder. "Then, doesn't that make you are not an alpha?"
"Don't twist my word, I have never said that!" Theo's buoyant mood was gone. Now, he was really pissed by Lilac.
Ignoring Theo's protests, Lilac turned his attention to the Alpha, who was sitting comfortably in his plush chair while she was fighting to find a seat for herself.
What ridiculous situation that she was in right now!?
"Am I not your mate?" Lilac asked Jedrek straightforwardly. "Tell them if I am not your mate."
This concept was the same like what Jedrek used when he left her on the door step alone, left herself to choose her own decision.
Right now, if Jedrek said Lilac was not his mate, it would be completely a lie, since it was he himself that said the guardian angel was his mate, yet if he recognized her as his, then he would have to punish Theo for refusing direct orders from his Luna, their queen.
Jedrek could see his mate smirk when he finally spoke, "she is my mate, your Luna and Queen and the meeting will not start until she sits down."
His voice neither loud nor harsh, but it was enough to stabilize Lilac's position in front of his people, at least for now.
Lilac sighed internally when she heard that, she could say she was lucky enough to have Jedrek spoke like that. It was good enough to see her mate was doing something he should have done as a mate.
"Tell someone to bring another chair," Theo hissed to Warlock, who was sitting beside him and the general walked out of the room to inform the guard.
Meanwhile, Theo dragged the chair over and put it beside Jedrek for Lilac to sit. However, the guardian angel thought she had to give an extra lesson for today to Theo.
"Thank you," Lilac said sweetly to the general when he put the chair. "For giving me your chair voluntarily, you are pardoned from the punishment for refusing my direct orders."
Next to Lilac, Jedrek glanced at his mate with amus.e.m.e.nt danced in his eyes before he started their meeting.

"So, you don't know how to control your power?" Hope asked Raine when they had returned to their tent.
After they buried the children and cremated the priestess, Torak and Kace agreed that tomorrow they would leave to the mainland and went back to the mystic river village.
But, the people that Torak had brought with him and the centaurs would stay here along with Lydia. They would follow them to the other realm, when Torak had done talking with Jedrek about Kace's term. The youngest Donovan was not happy a little bit to know that they would go home and reunite.
When there was someone who asked 'why?' he would glare at them and hissed in derision. 'he is an a**' that was how he answered them.
"No, I don't." Raine shook her head regretfully.
"Don't you try to ask Serefina what happened with you?" Hope sat down beside Raine.
They two of them were inside Raine and Torak's tent and had another round of endless conversation. The two of them seemed like would never run out of topic to discuss.
"I don't say I am good with my power too," Hope raised her hands when she watched Raine's dejected expression. "I don't even know why I am seeing these fireflies everywhere I go…" she watched the flickering little things that even Raine couldn't see it. "…or ghosts…" she shuddered.
"They are the spirit of the dead people," Raine corrected Hope while chuckling when she watched her expression. It sounded a little bit creepy when Hope mentioned those spirits as ghosts, though that was not wrong either.
"Whatever they are…" Hope shrugged her shoulder. "I will love to be able to control the time like you do…"
"I don't have control over my power, remember?" Raine reminded her. "Serefina has been helping me, but I don't know what is wrong with me, why I still can't do anything with this power of mine."
To be honest, sometime Raine was scared if one day she unknowingly went to the past and was not able to return.
When the two guardian angels were in deep thought, someone opened the curtain of the tent and startled them.
"Your mate is looking for you, it is already late, Raine needs to sleep," Calleb spoke rigidly. He didn't even bother to hide his dislike toward Hope.
"I think I should go back," Hope stood up and hugged Raine. "Bye, Raine." When Raine walked past Calleb, she frowned. "Why I feel like you don't like me?"
