The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 761 - THE SHADOW WARRIOR

The shadows were like a living creature, fluttering behind the man and when he revealed his face, Serefina's lime green eyes hardened in surprise.

She had seen him once, but she would never forget this man! There was no way she would forget the face of the shadow warrior, who had killed her!

"You!" That one word sounded like curse. "You should be dead!"

The shadow warrior smirked in derision. "So you do," he said with venom on the tip of his tongue. If by glaring at Serefina, he could kill her, then the witch would be dead by now.

Serefina averted her eyes and scoured her surrounding, looking for another creature inside this room.

"You don't need to look for someone else, it is only me in this room," the shadow warrior spoke mockingly.

Serefina didn't believe him right away, she tried to find something, but just like what the shadow warrior said, there was no one inside the room except the two of them. historical

Only then she shifted her attention back to the man in front of her. "What is it? Someone brought you back?"

Actually, Serefina was not sure, whether this shadow warrior was died or not, but they said the battle between the shadow warrior and the Lycanthropes that day had wiped out their entire kind. Well, Aeon was an exception…

"Brought me back?" The shadow warrior looked at the witch in front of him with disdain. "I never died to begin with." And then he added while tilting his head curiously. "But, I am sure that I had killed you on that day."

No one knew that she was killed that day and had been revived by the moon goddess except Raine, because she was there when it happened, while Kace... Selene chose to erase his memory about the incident back then.

"So?" Serefina's eyes became sharp as she glared at him. "What do you want? Kill me again?" she scoffed. "Don't be too proud of yourself, you managed to get to me because you sneaked up on me."

The shadow warrior jeered and shook his head. "I am not in rush to kill you. There are a few people on my list and you are not even my top priority."

Serefina knew, whom he was talking about, yet she needed to make sure that she guessed it right. "What about the guardian angel, who you claim to be your mate? Is she still alive too?"

Upon hearing that, the shadow warrior let out a low warning growl and this reaction answered Serefina's unspoken question. He was indeed after the Donovan. Jedrek to be precise, as he was the one who had given an order to destroy his village and eradicated two kinds of creature, almost at the same time.

"Why? Is she dead? Didn't you protect her?" Serefina provoked him. "Oh, I am sorry, I think you failed to do that, right?"

Right at the same time Serefina said those words, the shadow tendrils moved very fast, slid on the floor and spurred in the air, aimed at the witch.

Serefina didn't move an inch, but when the shadow engulfed her, swallowed her like a thick dark blanket that covered her entire being, in the next second, from within there was light as bright as the sun and blue flames that consumed the darkness.

The blue fire flared up around Serefina's body and when he was free from the shadows, the flames also faded away.

Yet, no one there. She was alone inside this chamber, facing an empty chair at the foot of the bed.

However, the witch didn't have time to think where the shadow warrior had gone, when she heard a sharp, vicious snarl from the direction where she left Theo and Warlock.

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

"What are you doing here?" Kyle approached Warlock and Theo, beside him, it was Rowan, who seemed so bored to be there.

"We accompanied the witch to come here to break the spells that surround this place," Theo answered them lazily, he leaned his tall body against the wall behind him and looked at toward the direction where Serefina had left. If within five minutes she was still not showing up, then he would come to check on her.

"What both of you doing here?" Warlock asked them in returned. "Shouldn't you be in the town to keep things safe there after the attack?"

"Eaton and Sebastian are there," Kyle replied.

"Eaton told us to go back to the castle, they can handle the mess over there just fine." Kyle told them. "Go back to your post, we will look after the witch here."

Warlock shook his head. "It's fine, we will leave after the witch come back," he said.

"I think we should check on her. She took a long time already." Theo was about to walk away when Kyle grabbed his shoulder.

"No need," he said sternly. "The king's brother needs you in the main castle. The two of you should go there," he added.

"We don't get an order like that." Warlock felt there was something amiss.

Theo and Kyle indeed had known each other for a long time, but their relationship was limited to fellow generals and now he was suspicious of the way Kyle forced him to leave.

"We will take care of the problem here," Rowan chimed in, he grabbed Warlock's shoulder, but he dodged it swiftly and inched closer toward Theo.

"What is it? Who told you to come here?" Warlock narrowed his eyes dangerously. He felt there was something off from the two of them. "This is not the Alpha's order, right?"

"Watch out!!!" Theo shrieked and pushed Warlock until his body hit the wall behind him.

Warlock, who was not aware about what was happening, widened his eyes at Theo questioningly when he was shoved aside, but he didn't get a chance to ask when he felt something sharp pierced through his chest and pressed his body against the wall.
