The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 790 - THE DAY OF THE CEREMONY (3)

"Wow! My man is the best!" Hope squealed in delight at the sight of Kace's appearance in his white clothes, yet his mate's cheerful compliment didn't chase away the grumpiness from his face.

The lycan looked sullen and was seen pulling the sleeves or the collar of his clothes a few times in less than a minute. He didn't even wear his cloak.

"Stop it," Kace said gloomily. "I don't like this." he threw the white cloak that he held in his left arm on to the sofa and to Hope's horror, she saw him lay on top of it recklessly.

"Hey! You will wrinkle the cloak beyond recognition!" Hope swatted Kace's chest and pushed him away to save his cloak.

With a groan followed by a deep grunt, Kace moved his heavy body and let Hope to have the cloak. The girl then glared at him viciously and completely disagreed with the way Kace was behaving right now.

"What's the problem with you?" Hope sat down next to him and Kace rested his head on her thigh. Her slender fingers ran through his nest like hairs and smoothed them.

"I don't like the ceremony," he said sullenly.

"But, I like it," Hope said in a light tone and looked at him innocently. "Don't ruin my happy mood," she warned him in a threatening tone.

"The only thing that I like about this ceremony is to see you in this beautiful dress." Kace touched the long sleeves of Hope's gown and smiled cheekily at her. "I will choose to stay here and look at you the entire night rather than attend the ceremony and sit there like some statue. "

Kace would have to sit next to Jedrek in the throne room during theceremonywhere Lilac would be crowned as the queen.

"Behave," Hope said sharply while flicking Kace's forehead.

"Agh!" Kace touched the place where Hope hit him and whined. "Why did you hit me?"

"Stop being like a baby," Hope hit his shoulder instead this time. She knew that Kace wasonly exaggerating his reaction, there was no way he would be in pain. "You are a crybaby."

Kace put down his hands and looked at Hope sulkily. "Can we skip this ceremony and go somewhere else? I don't want to sit there." He had been complaining about this from the very moment he knew that he would have to sit next to Jedrek, in front of many people.

"This is your brother's ceremony, why do you even want to skip it?" Hope frowned at him, her brows knitted together. Sometimes, she couldn't even understand Kace's reasoning. He was simply being childish and unreasonable.

He seemed to avoid all the situations that required him to take the command and give other people some kind of order.

"I don't feel like it," Kace murmured, but his mind was elsewhere. There was someone else in his mind at the moment. "But, it's okay, I will come if you really want to attend the ceremony."

Hope sighed, actually there was something that bothered her. "What will happen after the ceremony?" she asked.

"Jedrek and Lilac will mark and mate," Kace said.

And that was the thing what was worrying her the most. Someone would definitely be hurt, knowing what had happened.

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

Lilac paced around her room nervously. From the opened door of the balcony, she could hear the crowd and also their footsteps which seemed all over the placein this castle. It seemed that they had inivited a lot of people to enter the castle.

She was even more anxious because Jedrek didn't allow her to go and see the final preparation, neither had he came to see her after he chased her away when they met in the throne room.

"That heartless and stupid jerk!" Lilac cursed under her breath which startled Ayana and the other three young servants that helped her to be ready for her ceremony. "Sorry," she murmured.

"My queen, don't crumple your dress it will be wrinkled," the servant named Sora put her hand on top of Lilac's to stop her from clutching her own gown.

"Can you tell me the rundown of the ceremony again? I am afraid I will forget what I should do next," Lilac tapped her feet anxiously while they fixed her hair.

"You don't have to memorize it, Keira will be there to help you," Sora said, but she did tell Lilac again what she should remember.

Lilac just had this sudden urge to hear someone talk to her to calm her nerves. She had asked for Hope and Raine to come to her room, but the two of them were in the same situation as her. As the mates of the Donovans, they should present themselves well, because their presence would be as important as hers.

Lilac really needed someone to talk to, only now did she realize that she had very few friends.

"Do you know where is Jedrek?" Lilac asked the other servant about their king's whereabouts.

"Ah, please wait for a moment, my queen." Ayana immediately mind-linked the guards around the castle to ask about their king.

It didn't take her a long time before she got the information about where Jedrek was.

"The king is in the main hall, entertaining the guests with the other generals," Ayana reported to her and resumed checking Lilac's dress.

Lilac huffed in annoyance. Why should she be the one who was trapped inside the room while Jedrek was free to go wherever he wanted?

This was unfair.

Lilac knew that Jedrek was in control of everything, but that didn't mean Lilac enjoyed being controlled.

With one final huff of annoyance, Lilac let the four servants to serve her and put everything that they wanted on her dress, body or hair, without a single complaint.

However, the final touch of them left Lilac speechless. She was beyond surprised to see her own reflection on the mirror. The woman in front of her looked stunning. And Lilac couldn't even believe that she could look that beautiful. This left her wonderingwhat would be Jedrek's reaction when he saw her.

"You look very beautiful my queen…" Ayana and the four servants took two steps back to see the perfection of their future queen and Luna. historical

"I hope I won't ruin the ceremony," Lilac said.
