The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 672 - I CAN AND I WILL

Vines and roots sprang from the ground just like a huge snakes that had its own mind, it slid and moved with surprising speed.

Eaton was completely floored with what he saw to be able to react in time. He had heard what Lilac was capable of, but it was different when he had to witness it directly.

Moreover, Lilac was not supposed to be awake. She shouldn't be able to gain her consciousness on her own, unless something happened to the mind reader.

Yet, this wasn't the right time for Eaton to worry about someone else, when his own life was in danger in the hand of the delicate girl right before his eyes.

Eaton was bound to the wall behind him, wrapped tightly with roots and vines, so skintight until he couldn't move his finger, even his mouth was being secured. He could feel the bitter taste of dirt and soil in his mouth.

It was only Eaton's eyes that were spared to see how graceful the way Lilac walked barefoot toward him, once she got out of the bed, throwing away the blanket and flicked her long black hair, which tumbling down on her shoulder.

She looked confused, but also in high alert when she observed her surroundings. It seemed, she wanted to be in the safe side just in case Eaton was an enemy and the lycan, somehow, could understand that.

Lilac looked very much different from her unconscious and conscious self.

The word 'angel' suited her when she was in defenseless state, looked very delicate and charming. However, the conscious Lilac was not someone who could be trifled with. She looked so fierce and threatening.

"Where is this?" Lilac couldn't find out the answer only by looking her surrounding, thus she decided to ask the question to the only living soul in this room.

"You are in the safe place," Eaton answered her when Lilac waved her hand and get rid the vines that covered his mouth. This girl with her power was so frightening.

Lilac stared at him impassively. "I will be the one who decide, whether I am safe or not."

She remembered the room that she had been living since… Lilac was not sure, how long she had been living in that place. It felt like months.

She had been trapped there without her power, but when Lilac felt her power was back, she tried to push open the door and succeeded.

However, instead of being in the hallway or somewhere, she returned to this strange room, staring at a strange man.

All of this was very confusing for Lilac to understand, her head was throbbing.

"Who are you?" Lilac took another cautious steps, tightening the roots around Eaton's body until the lycan groaned in pain.

"Eaton," Eaton replied through his gritted teeth.

"And who are you Eaton?" Lilac took her time to interrogate him. She looked patient, but didn't mean she wouldn't finish him off if Eaton was trying to do something funny.

"I am the King's confidant," Eaton answered through his raspy voice.

Lilac narrowed her eyes. "I don't like the King," she said rigidly. "Or his people."

"Lilac… stop this." Eaton gagged when the root around his neck tightened, choked him. "You misunderstood him. Jedrek is trying to keep you safe."

"Jedrek? Keep me safe?" Lilac sneered, her black eyes hardened. "The last thing I remember, he had been imprisoned me and killed Tordoff for saving me from the dungeon."

Lilac still felt the death of Tordoff was her fault and every time she remembered this, she felt the bitterness of that fact.

"There are a lot of thing that you don't understand about him." Eaton struggled to catch on his breath, if this kept going like this, he would be dead. It seemed Lilac knew very well how to handle a shifter, in his current position, he was not able to move a muscle not to say shifting into his beast.

"Unfortunately, I am not in the mood to understand him." Lilac had given time and chance to Jedrek, but he proved it to her again and again that he didn't deserve it.

"Don't you come with a mission from the moon goddess? You can't just walk away and shrug off your responsibilities, right?" Eaton was trying to make Lilac hesitated with her decision, because he could feel, in the fit of her hatred toward Jedrek, the girl was more than capable to squeeze him to his death.

"I can and I will." Lilac had had enough with all the things that Jedrek had done to her, she didn't want to deal with him anymore, because the first thing she would do when she met him was to make him pay for everything that he had done. Especially, when she already got her power back.

"Lilac… you will kill me if you… don't put away these things…" His breathing became uneven, but Lilac didn't budge, apparently, she was no longer care and Eaton had to do something to make the girl relented. "What had happened to you was not real… it was only illusion… Jedrek didn't mean to harm you??"

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

Jedrek kneaded his temple when the sound of Janus's voice kept roaring in his mind, though he had cut the mind- link between them. historical

The former Alpha had been so furious and enraged, until Jedrek needed to tell the special servant to stop coming and taking care of Diana.

[Alpha.] the girl stood before Jedrek with her head hung low. [I am worry about Luna Diana… is it okay if I don't visit her? It had been a long time.]

The special servant was indeed couldn't speak or hear, but he was still a werewolf, they had another way to communicate with each other.

"You don't have to worry about it." After saying that, Jedrek dismissed her.

However, his eyes turned sharp the second he felt there was something wrong.

Jedrek felt anxious and this had something to do with the mate bond.
