The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 962 - THEY ARE COMING

Chapter 962 - THEY ARE COMING

Hurting their mate could considerably weaken a lycan, which was one of the reasons why it could be considered the fastest way to destroy a shifter and make him unable to fight

This way, they wouldn't function properly as they would be feeling devastated when the mate bond was torn apart. It would affect them and their beast greatly.

Torak watched with dark expression when Calleb and Lyrus walked out of the room, leaving the three Donovans inside to discuss this matter among themselves.

"Were you aware of the consequences?" Jedrek turned around to face Kace, his blue eyes had flickered into the color of red when he did that and there wasn't anyone more terrifying than an angry lycan.

However, Kace didn't budge.

A normal lycan would be trembling under Jedrek's vicious gaze which was directed at him, but Kace was one of the Donovans, though he was not an Alpha or King, blood was thicker than water. He was still one of them.

"Were you even aware of what we have been doing these past two weeks?" Kace looked at his brother straight in his eyes. "Sacrificing our own people!"

"To keep our mates alive!" Jedrek roared again. He refused to acknowledge his wrong doings. Even if it was wrong and he knew it. This was the only way he knew that could keep his mate alive.

Jedrek didn't care if he had to kill all of his people just to keep Lilac beside him, even if she resented him or harbored a grudge.

He could think about it later.

This was not the first time he did something out of his character for Lilac. Before, he was even willing to kneel down in front of the centaurs and devils, laid his pride to be trampled upon by them as he humbly lowered his head before his enemies, thus when he didn't even care about his pride, what else wouldn't he be willing to give up just to keep her alive?

Jedrek wouldn't agree with whatever nonsense that Kace wanted to say. He didn't want to hear him say anything that could change his mind.

"There will be a time when we can no longer sacrifice someone again, and what will we do when that time came?" Kace glared at Jedrek. "Watch those devils kill our mates right before our eyes?!"

It was a fact, if they didn't have any people to sacrifice anymore and it was too late for them to retaliate against those devils, as they didn't have forces that were needed to fight alongside with them. What would they do?

Even if they begged the devils to let their mates to be left alone and kill them instead, who could guarantee a promise from the devils?

It was bound to happen now or later, if they left the situation like this.

They would lose the guardian angels either way…

But, the difference was; whether they fought for it and won the war, or let it happen and lose the war eventually…

"The moon goddess had resurrected them when they went extinct," Kace said, he tried to make his point across. This was the same logic that Hope told him, Lilac would also say the same if she was given a chance to say it during her argumentation with Jedrek. "She can do it again this time, right?"

Kace looked at Jedrek and then Torak, who had not yet said a word since their people left them alone inside the room.

"Even if I have to wait for a few more centuries, I will do it," Kace said firmly. "But, if we lose this war, not even a million years of waiting could guarantee us a hope, to be with our mates again."

"Bree! Where have you been?!" Rossie hugged baby Eddard when she finally found Bree near the door of the dungeon. "Don't tell me you went there again!"

Rossie was in panic and it was apparent from the way she reprimanded the little girl, but Bree didn't answer her question, though she was sure Rossie must have known that her accusation was right all along.

"What happened out there?" Bree asked, she looked around and didn't find any lycan warriors who were meant to guard the dungeon there.

It wasn't like this place was heavily guarded, because if that was the case, then Bree wouldn't be able to sneak inside.

"The vampires," Rossie breathed those two words, as her face paled. "They are coming here and the lycan warriors are trying to fend them off."

For now, those vampires must be around fifteen minutes away from this building, but given the fact that they lack people and those vampires came at full force, it would be only a matter of time before they could reach this place and slaughter them all.

"How could they find this place?" Rossie murmured and then flinched when she heard roars and snarls from afar.

Meanwhile, Bree glanced at the door of the dungeon…

It must be one of his plans…

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

Raine followed her parents into the park and watched how her younger version laughed when they played carousel.

She didn't remember this moment, but she knew that it was real, as real as it could be, because when Raine approached her mother, the woman smiled at her before she went away to give the sausage in her hand to her daughter.

Raine was lost for words at that time… she wanted to tell the woman that she was her daughter, but it would be ridiculous…

However, Raine's attention was distracted when she heard her younger version was crying while staring at something behind her father's back in fear.

The couple tried to calm the baby down, but her cries only became louder. Now, the mother was panicking while the father was trying to find the reason behind his daughter's sudden crying, yet he failed to find it.

On the other hand, Raine knew what actually made the baby cry, because she could also see it.

Not too far from them, she watched as a Kanima approached the couple, tilting his head, curious about how the baby was able to see him in his beast's form.
