The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 824 - KNEEL BEFORE ME

Chapter 824 - KNEEL BEFORE ME

"I don't want to believe it too," Lana said in soft tone, she touched her flat stomach out of instinct when she felt uncomfortable. "But, the guardian angel wouldn't lie about it."

"Who? Hope?" Lidya frowned.

"No, Raine," she replied.

"Where are they now?" Lidya looked around the room, hoping that she could find Raine and confront her about it, whether she was saying the truth or not.

"She left with Torak and the others," Raphael answered her this time.

"Where? Do you know where they are going?" Lidya hopped from the sofa and was about to run toward the door, but Raphael shook his head.

"I don't know, Raine just said she wanted to go to the meadow." Raphael narrowed his eyes at the witch.

"Maybe she wanted to find Serefina?" Lana suggested with uncertainty evident in her voice.

That witch had been her tutor since she she was a child and saved by kace. Though their relationship was a little bit rough, which Lana was sure that Serefina had rough relationship with almost everyone. The witch had never hurt her and taught her everything that she needed to learn, including how to protect and stand up for herself.

Serefina taught her rudely, but effectively. She wouldn't be like this now, if it was not for her.

Where is she now…? What plan did she concocted…?

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

"You are endangering your own peoples' lives for your personal grudge," Lilac spoke softly, her breath became even more shallow than a few moments ago. The cold wind was caressing her skin making her shudder nonstop.

When Lilac thought Chiron wouldn't talk anymore and was about to give up her efforts to engage him in some conversation, she heard his low monotonous voice, very faintly, as if he was just murmuring to himself.

"Brynzin," Chiron spoke. "…I had been waiting for my firstborn… My mate and I… we had even prepared a name for him. Brynzin."

The wind howled as if it could feel this certain creature's pain.

"He would be a boy. A healthy child… that's what the healer told us…" Chiron shook his head. "The healer was wrong. My baby didn't even got a chance to be born and had his name called… my poor child… I can't protect him and my mate… and my people…" his voice cracked.

Lilac was not sure if she heard it right or not, but from the shaking of his shoulders, she could feel the emotion behind every word he said.

"You don't know how it feels to lose something more precious than your life… not even your mate," Chiron gritted his teeth. This was the purest emotion that he allowed to resurface after years he had been holding it back.

"Your people…" Lilac was about to remind him again the life of the people that would suffer with his decision now.

"My people…" Chiron spoke before her. "Death is more promising than living with a grudge that you can't get rid of and your mate should suffer the same fate as I did…"

"You will kill me….." Lilac concluded softly.

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

The two white beasts approached a meadow they found in the place to where Carina had led them. Not only the three of them, but also Zarrn and Eaton went along with them, while Sebastian would take care of the city and lead the rest of the lycanthropes to go to the castle along with the captured centaurs and hunters.

"You can shift back now," Carina said. She stopped running, when they reached the middle of the vast meadow with starry sky and moonlight above their heads.

Jedrek and Kace shifted back into their human skin, but Eaton stayed in his beast form. The beast kept himself low to the ground, in a position ready to fight if the circ.u.mstances require him to attack.

"Where is he?" Jedrek asked grimly, sniffing the air and looked in all directions searching, yet he couldn't catch any sign of his mate or the centaur.

Meanwhile, beside his livid brother, Kace had a complicated emotion regarding this situation. He didn't want this meeting turn in to another battle between the lycan and the centaur, since he didn't want to take a side.

However, if the situation forced him to do so…

Kace hoped Chiron wouldn't do anything stupid to Lilac.

"He should be here," Carina murmured and then she fished out a small thing from a small bag hanging onto her h.i.p.s and put it on her lips.

As soon as she blew that small thing, they could hear a melodious sound rung through the vast meadow for a few seconds before Carina put it down.

It was the same thing that she used to call the other centaurs when she was in danger back when she was with Hope inside the forest of the northern coven realm.

Only then, their attention gathered at one point as the wind brought the two different scents.

They recognized both scents and for Jedrek, one of the scents was much stronger than the other, as it managed to calm his anxiety a little bit. He couldn't help himself, but running toward the source of it.

There was nothing more important for him to have his mate in his arms, safe and sound now.

Watching Jedrek rushing toward the possible location of Chiron, Kace and the rest of them followed him closely, and this would be the fateful moment which would unfold what the king was going to do with their current situation.

"Give her to me," Jedrek said grimly when he was close enough to see Lilac in Chiron's arms. Her eyes were closed shut, but when she heard his voice, her eyelashes fluttered.

"Chiron!" Kace called his name, but it sounded like he was pleading for him to stop whatever he was doing now.

Even Zarrn lost for words when he witnessed with his own eyes that their chief, indeed, had kidnapped Lilac. This was beyond his wildest imaginations.

"Why should I?" Chiron asked calmly.

"Because I will let you see with your own eyes while I skinned your people alive, if you hurt her." Jedrek's whole body was shaking out of immense rage.

"If you want her," Chiron glanced at Lilac in his arms. "Kneel before me."
