Chapter 862 - I WILL MAKE THEM COME TO US

"Why should I go with you?" Lidya asked irritably, her hair fluttered in the wind and the cold expression on her face was in sync with this frozen river in the cold weather.

"Because we don't trust him," Hope said simply. She shrugged her shoulders and walked toward the river bank. The spot she possibly thought where she heard something from beneath, the last time she was here with Serefina and Lilac.

On the other side, Raine looked around her, she didn't really get it that why they had to come to this place again. The last time she was here, she met with the shadow warrior that she thought dead. Dorian. That was not a pleasant memory to remember, since his warning managed to occupy her mind for a few days.

"You don't trust me, but you agreed to come to this place," the dwarf scoffed disdainfully, which was completely ignored by Hope as she questioned back.

"Why should we come to this place?" Hope folded her arms in front of her chest and looked around her suspiciously as if the devils would jump out of nowhere, if she let her guard down for a few moments.

"Because you heard something from beneath this frozen river, didn't you?" the dwarf tapped the iced over surface to make sure that it was safe for him to walk on it. "Come here."

"No," Hope rejected his idea immediately.

"This is safe," he said in a demanding tone. Nutdrouk jumped on it to prove his words that he was right about walking safely on the river. "Come here!" he said, seemingly upset.

Hope frowned, she looked at Lidya, asking for her advice. But, the witch also frowned. "What will you do once she walked over? First of all, make your intention clear and tell what you are going to do instead of giving out orders as if you are the boss here!" Lidya shouted at the dwarf, who was already three meters away from the river bank.

"D*mn you witch!" Nutdrouk cursed, he heard a fair share of scolding from Serefina, thus he didn't need another witch to tell him what he had to do.

"What did you say?!" Lidya roared. "Say it again and I will drown you right now!" Lidya raised her hand wanting to blast the frozen river, so the dwarf would disappear from their sight.

However, Hope tugged her cloak stealthily to remind her that they still needed the dwarf.

Hope asked Lidya to come with them to this place with the dwarf, without alarming their mates. Because they would outrightly reject the idea of coming here. With a hundred percent guarantee!

Actually, Raine also had her own doubts. She did not agree to follow the dwarf without Torak's consent. Meanwhile, because Raphael and Calleb were busy with the training, instead of making the Gamma to follow them around, her mate replaced him with ten lycan warriors, who now were waiting outside of the dwarf's cabin, without any idea that the four people inside were already gone.

Thankfully, though Raine didn't agree with Hope, she didn't spoil her plan either, she kept silent but just like Hope, she looked around worriedly now.

The reason why Hope wanted Lidya to come along with them was of course for their own safety and if the dwarf turned out to be a traitor and planning to stab their backs, the witch could teleport them back to the castle at any given moment.

Yet another reason for Hope to trust Lidya, was because they were still on an agreement that Hope had to fulfill. Lidya needed her alive.

"So, are you coming or not?!" Nutdrouk ignored Lidya's angry words and talked to Hope directly. "Or, you just wanted to hear that from where you are standing now?!"

"Hear what?!" Lidya lashed out.

Nutdrouk clicked his tongue, he was upset because Lidya kept cutting the conversation between him and Hope. "The sound of the voice that you are hearing now. Don't you hear anything?" Nutdrouk tilted his head questioningly.

"What sound?" Lidya's eyebrows creased and she turned around to look at Hope, who was standing beside her, seemingly in a daze.

Meanwhile, Raine came closer to their little quarrel and listened to what they said. She stopped herself from saying anything when she was not sure with the situation and chose to observe first.

"…the voice," Hope said finally. It was the same voice that she heard when she was here for the first time. Like a whisper. A murmuring sound that she couldn't quite discern what it was saying.

"Voice?" Lidya asked. "What voice?" she turned her attention toward the dwarf.

"Come here if you want to know," the dwarf said with a smirk on his lips.

Raine looked at Hope, she couldn't help but feel worry about her, knowing Hope for a few months now, she knew exactly what she would choose.

"The barrier," said Sybil, the witch that came with Jedrek's entourage. The witch with long white hair that reached her h.i.p.s, stopped the entourage when she felt there was something wrong.

"Barrier? For what??? Jedrek asked, he couldn't see it, but he could feel there was something off in the air which also carried a faint scent of citrus.

"The shifters can't go through. Only humans," she said. Sybil walked forward and raised her hands, as if she was touching an invisible wall before her. "This is a strong magic, your majesty," she said contemplating.

From this hill, they could see the city of the eastern region below them, with a few buildings and the wall that surrounded it, just like what they had back around the castle.

"Put it down," Jedrek ordered, he glared at the city which stood far from him and could feel his anger starting to boil his blood. How dare they put this kind of thing to prevent him to enter the region?

"A barrier?" Lilac got off from the carriage and walked gracefully to stand beside Jedrek. "We just need to talk to them, right? I have another idea to make them come to us."
