The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 924 - THE VOW (2)

Chapter 924 - THE VOW (2)

In the midst of all those loud noises from the outside, Purple led Hope and Kace into a huge room which gave the illusion of the presence of an additional library behind this door.

It felt so, probably because of the size of it which was almost on par with the previous room they had entered, as if the building was built with two sections of library; one for public while the other for private use only.

Hope could even smell the earthly scent from this place and this kind of scent was very calming to her already tensed nerves because of everything that happened outside.

Unfortunately, Hope was not really fond of reading books, if she were, this place would have felt like a heaven to her.

"If Raine happen to be here, I bet she will love this place," Hope murmured, relishing the sight around her and how amazing this place seemed as they walked to the center of this private library.

Purple smiled softly at Hope and spoke. "Luna had been here once with the Alpha and this one was the thing that Alpha Torak had showed to her then."

Hope frowned, became very curious now. "What is it?" she looked at Kace beside her, but her mate seemed to be unaware of whatever it was.

"You can see it yourself," Purple said, as she led them deeper, into the central part of the room.

It took some time for them to reach the middle of this seemingly large chamber where Hope saw a huge stone, standing tall right in the middle of this huge room.

Its height was around twelve to thirteen meters, with a thickness equal to Hope's two arms stretched out.

"What is this?" Hope breathed out her question in amazement, it surprised her to see this kind of stone in the middle of the bookshelves.

This stone looked old, a stark contrast to its surroundings.

"This stone looks like someone had thrown it in here," Hope commented.

"This is the stone that could tell you everything," Kace answered it for Hope, as he walked closer and touched the rough surface of it. "This is real."

"Yes, Alpha Torak kept it here," Purple said.

"D*mn it Torak!" Kace cursed quite loud, as he huffed in annoyance.

"What happened?" Hope asked, couldn't understand why would Kace be irritated all of a sudden like this.

"This stone was supposed to be in the castle, Jedrek was throwing a tantrum when he realized that one of the precious things which was under the possession of royal family had disappeared." Throwing a tantrum might not be the correct phrase to portray how livid Jedrek was, but Kace would keep the details for himself.

Hope raised her eyebrows, sometimes she couldn't understand the relationship between the three Donovan brothers, they have this tendency to take the dispute between siblings to another level.

"If Raine was here before, then what did she do with the stone?" Hope asked in curiosity and moved closer, feeling attracted to the stone.

"ENOUGH!" Stephan roared viciously at his brother. "Can you stop relying on those devils?! I have enough of your stubborn self being fed with their lies and false hopes!" it was Stephen's first time to raise his voice against his brother.

Out of instinct, Raine turned her head to see what was happening and she caught sight of a hopelessly angered Stephen, which was a first.

"They haven't done anything that could backup their promises, but lie through their nasty way out every single time and you still trust them?!" Stephan glared at Reynold, who was glaring back at him, couldn't believe that his timid brother had just talked back to him.

"They had our last female and this lycan did nothing to get her back!" Reynold reminded his brother, yet Stephan wouldn't buy it anymore.

"She must have been dead by now! No, maybe a long time ago! Do you really think you can trust a devil's promise?!" Stephan found himself feeling sick to realize that they were being fooled by those filthy creatures from hell.

"Enough both of you!" Torak didn't have time to listen to them and could only cut off their quarrel. "Tell me what is the cross heart vow?!"

"I will never tell you!" Reynold struggled to free himself from the chain that bound him, but without their beast power, they were nothing. Unfortunately, their beast had been locked up because of a vow that their grandfather had committed. "Give us our last female and I will be on your side, if not… you can go and f**k yourself!"

Right after saying those cursing words, a kick landed on Reynold's chest, which sent him flying across the room and hit the wall, leaving a big dent on its surface.

"How about you? Do you know what is it?" Torak asked Stephan instead.

The young dragon shifter looked back and forth between Torak and his brother, he was placed in a difficult position.

"I will release you from the vow that your grandfather made centuries ago if you agree to share this with us," Torak stated.

"Torak!"Jedrek warned him. [We had never agreed to this!]

Yet, Torak shut the mind link and didn't allow Jedrek to interfere with his decision. At this point, he wouldn't let anything happen to Raphael's son.

However, for those people who were close to him and knew him very well, this kind of recklessness was way out of his character.

Torak indeed didn't show how much it pained him to know that his Beta was dead under his command along with his mate, thus if something happened to their child, Torak would be d*mned for eternity out of his self blaming guilt.

This was his way to cope up with his sadness, since it was hard for him to express this kind of emotion to anyone, including Raine.

However, the consequences of releasing them from their vow was also a big bet. This was why Jedrek was concerned about Torak's seemingly careless decision.

"You cannot do this Torak, we didn't agree on this!" Jedrek hissed at Torak and held his shoulder, forcing him to turn around and face him. "You don't have the fae who can break the vow, with you."

It should be the same fae who made it; to break this kind of vow, but Jedrek didn't know that Torak had her.

"Of course I have the fae," Torak said.

"I will tell you!" Stephan spoke up.
