Chapter 888 - DISTRACTION
It took some time for Lilac to finally calm down and discern everything that had happened.
"I killed those people," she stated. There was pain in her voice.
"If you didn't kill them, I would have." Jedrek tried to ease her distress a little bit by saying that, since he really didn't mind her killing those filthy wizards and witches.
In Jedrek's eyes, there was nothing wrong with what Lilac had done, but on the other hand, he could understand why this fact shocked her.
The guardian angel was a kindhearted creature, though Lilac usually appeared tough and strong, but she still had the kind spirit of the guardian angel.
"I don't mean to kill them all…" Lilac whimpered again, she rested her body against Jedrek's chest as he cradled her in his arms.
Meanwhile, the other lycanthropes and faes were trying to find their fellow friends and busied themselves tending to the injured ones.
Though, every now and then they would cast a glance in Jedrek and Lilac's direction, still they wouldn't dare to interfere with their moment together.
Not only because of Jedrek's direct order, but as they also felt a little bit afraid of Lilac now.
"I know you don't…" Jedrek caressed her back, when Lilac snuggled closer to him, seeking for the feeling of safety from her mate, while gloomy clouds hung very low above them. "But, they will end up like this even if you didn't do it… you saved us a lot of time," he tried his best to cheer her.
However, at the same time, the king didn't know what the right words to tell her, so she could feel less heartache.
"Maybe Killian and Tordoff were inside the city…" Lilac said as another realization hit her that she had accidentally killed the people that they supposed to save, she whimpered again.
Jedrek just continued to pat her head, but didn't say anything.
Honestly, losing Killian was a loss for him, since he had known him for so long, but for Tordoff… Jedrek didn't feel the same way as he knew that general had his eyes on his mate. It was indeed cruel to think that way at a time like this, therefore Jedrek didn't say anything to voice out his own thoughts.
"Our aim of coming to this place went in vain," Lilac said regretfully.
"No," Jedrek replied to her almost immediately. "They had let us see which side they were planning to take, thus the only choice that we are left with was to destroy them and we did it." Jedrek emphasized the word 'we', so Lilac wouldn't feel the burden, as it wouldn't be a compliment for her to kill those spell-casters and destroying the whole city in a bid of her loss of control.
Lilac sniffed and then raised her head, she looked at Jedrek with tearful eyes and hugged him tightly.
"I am glad you are fine…" she whispered into his ears.
"Thanks to you, I am fine now…" even now, Jedrek still thought it was because Lilac that he could survive the curse, yet Jedrek felt her body stiffen at his words.
"That was not me…" Lilac said softly. "Serefina came and saved you…" she confessed. "She kissed you…"

Raine sat beside Torak on the sofa, while Jack was standing behind her.
In front of Raine was Reynold and Stephan. She couldn't remember when was the last time she got to meet Stephan, was it when they were still in the university?
Raine felt like her days in the university along with those very few friends of hers, were just memories from a different lifetime. Those days were one of the best days she had ever experienced since she met Torak.
"I remember that I cut off your hand," Torak addressed Reynold, as he glanced at his arm. "Did you grow it back?" he mocked him.
Of course, he knew that it must be the devils, who helped him with his hand. There was no other way the dragon shifter was able to do that.
"Alpha… please…" Stephan tried to talk to Torak. "We didn't mean to betray you, but you promised us our female dragon, but until now, we still can't see our female dragon…"
On the other hand, Reynold glared at his brother, he had told him not to say a word to Torak, but he ended up begging this Alpha.
"So, it was true… you had chosen your side?" Torak asked Reynold, completely ignoring Stephan.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/the-love-of-a-lycan_13952362506619705/distraction_50492021911125146 for visiting.
The younger dragon shifter didn't have any value for his words, since it was Reynold, who was the lord for the dragon earth shifters, who called the shots for their kind.
Reynold stood up and looked at Torak right in his eyes. "I'm not siding with the devils, but I will side with them if they can give me what I want."
Torak held his gaze firmly, as he spoke to him with the same tone like before. "The devils indeed have your female, do you think they will keep their promise to give you back the last female dragon from your race?"
It was stupid to think those devils would hold the end of their bargain.
"I will pledge my loyalty to you if you can keep your promise to give me back what I want," Reynold said.
"The only thing that you can do to get your female back was already very clear, we have to win the war. And why should I trust you?" Torak squinted his eyes. "You have said the same thing to me a few times already."
Reynold took a step forward, but a set of loud collective growls from Torak's people stopped him in his tracks.
"I have some important information to tell you," Reynold said and paused for awhile to gauge Torak's reaction. "You shouldn't be here, Alpha… my refusal to join you in the other realm is only a distraction to lure you to come here. The same things happened to your other brothers."

"What happened with those people?!" Raphael watched as countless beasts trying to enter the castle and some of them even managed to jump over the wall. It seemed the whole city had turned insane and wanted to kill them all. What was wrong with them?!
