Chapter 782 - THE TRUTH FROM THE PAST (2)

Janus needed the guardian angel in order to save his mate's life and at the same time, Jedrek received an order from Selene, the moon goddess, to gather all the guardian angel for the upcoming war with the devils and also for the reason that the rules, which was enforced by the shadow warrior was no longer could be tolerated.

The guardian angels were not supposed to be locked up in one place, they should roam around the realm, to abate the darkness. This was also one of the reasons why the devils managed to create such remarkable force after so many times there was no one could suppress the darkness that they spread.

However, the timing was not right. Janus heard that and forced Jedrek to let him see the guardian angel when he heard Jedrek's warrior managed to tackle down the village of angel and eradicated all the shadow warriors that had been protected them for years, only a day before the war.

Out of respect for his father, Jedrek allowed him to see those guardian angels without knowing his true intention

And the moment Jedrek learned about it, it was already too late for him to fix the damage. Janus had sapped those poor creatures' energy and left them with nothing, but soulless body with valuable bloods. This was the first reason why they died in the battle. Only Jedrek who knew about this.

He was conflicted with himself and was not able to tell a soul about this, including Serefina. Moreover, the witch couldn't be found after their big argumentation, just a day before the attack of the village of angel.

The second reason was because Jedrek ordered his people to use their precious blood too along the war, just like how the shadow warrior would use their blood whenever they went to a battle.

Those reasons were enough to kill the guardian angels and wiped out their existence from this realm.

Therefore, when Selene lifted their curse and gave them the guardian angels as their mate, Jedrek felt like it was a punishment rather than a reward for their accomplishment.

Selene must have known what Jedrek had done to her precious guardian angel and with the way she gave them as the Donovan's mates, it was almost like another form of a reminder about the decision that he had made.

After the war, things didn't stop there, it only got worse, and after all the things that Janus had done, Diana was still not fully recovered.

In the moment of desperation, even thought the devil did not have enough strength because of their defeat in the war, they came again and offered the same thing to Janus.

This time in exchanged of Diana's life, Asmodeus wanted Kace's life instead, for another years of Diana's.

It had gone too far and too dark. Janus was insane to accept that deal.

Jedrek had led his people to defeat the devil, but he couldn't do the same when the devils had rooted under their roof. His father had turned insane because of his obsession to bring their mother back to life.

It almost like they won the battle, but lost the war, for Jedrek.

The moment his father wanted to kill Kace for that, Jedrek challenged him for the Alpha's title.

Jedrek knew the consequences, but he was left with no other choices. Their father had gone too far and nothing that Jedrek said could reach him.

Therefore, Jedrek was forced to choose between his deranged father or his younger brother. Whatever his choice, was not an easy or pleasant one. However, he had to think of an option that dealt less damage.

Once Jedrek killed his father, he announced to the outside world that both Janus and Diana had stepped down from their throne and lived somewhere else.

The transition of power was not really a problem, since that title bound to be Jedrek's. It was his right birth after all.

However, the deal that Janus made with the devil turned him into a low creature. He was died, but his soul remained inside the castle, in the secret tunnel, in the place where Jedrek had killed him, while Diana was in coma state.

And the only way to end all the madness was to kill Diana, because Janus's soul bound to her.

"…and I killed mother for good," Jedrek said in completely unattached voice. He didn't show any emotion on his cold fa?ade.

Kace was sitting on the floor with his head hung low, there were a lot of emotions that flashed on his blue eyes. He was in denial. He was in disbelieve. The information that he heard was simply too much for him to discern and too mindblowing to be believed.

"I will not say that my decision was right. Hell, I know my decisions were terrible, but that was the best thing I could think of at that moment and I don't want to regret it." Jedrek stood up from his chair. "I don't indulge myself in the past and neglect what we will face now. I wish the same thing from the two of you."

After saying that, Jedrek left the room, leaving his two brothers, who seemed wouldn't move for another hours.

===============

"Where have you been? Why did you just come back now?" Hope rushed toward Kace, who just entered their bedroom, but the look on his face stopped Hope from her blabbering. "What happened?"

Kace didn't say anything he just trudged toward her and buried his face on the crook of his mate shoulder.

Hope couldn't see it, but she could feel Kace's body was trembling.

==============

Raine didn't know what had happened to Torak, but ever since he returned from meeting Jedrek, he had acted very strange.

It had been an hour since Torak was standing on the balcony and stared at the distance, seemingly deep in thought.

Raine approached her mate and hugged him from back and slowly, his tensed muscle became relax. They stayed like that in blissful silence, under the moonlight and starry sky.
