The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 816 - HE WAS INSANE!

"I thought she was behind me," Hope retorted, trying to justify her actions from earlier. Why did Jedrek or Torak even blame her? "I was running after Chiron, who was brining away Lilac with him."

Torak closed his eyes to control his temper. It was easy to snap at someone when he couldn't find anyone to blame on for what happened to his mate.

However, actually Torak knew this was not Hope's fault, it was already good enough that something bad didn't happen to her when she chased after Chiron and the devil didn't take her or Raine when there was no one there to protect them.

Yet, to see Raine in this condition again, he was very angry, angry at himself. Angry for not being able to be there when all she needed was his protection.

"What are you doing?"Torak didn't mean to snarl at Hope, but it was his beast's instinct, that he didn't like it when Hope moved closer and sat on the edge of the bed and was about to touch Raine.

"Can I touch her??? Hope stopped, leaving her hand hanging mid air. She looked at Torak, silently asking for the Alpha's permission to touch his mate.

Torak didn't immediately agree, but at the thought that those guardian angels could heal each other when they were close enough, just like how they accelerated Lilac's healing, he finally nodded.

Finally with his permission, Hope took a deep breath and stretched out her hand to touch Raine's.

Actually, Hope wondered, why was there a strange black aura, surrounding Raine's body? And she was pretty sure, both Torak and Lana could see it too.

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

Kace climbed the castle gates when the black rain finally stopped pouring down. There was no one who could follow him, since neither Carina nor Sterling could climb the wall.

However, Kace made sure to tell Sterling to keep his eyes on Carina. He emphasized his words, so that he could understand the weight of his words.

Now, Kace dug his claws deeply onto the solid stone of the high wall that secured the whole castle. The white beast snarled and growled whenever his claws didn't stick too deep that caused him to fall a few times before he could reach the top of it. Not to mention this strange rain, which made things more difficult for him, as the stone of the wall was getting increasingly slippery from all the wetting.

And, the beast's eyes widened in disbelief upon seeing the situation below.

On the ground, there were a few carcasses, scattered around the front yard, missing a limb or two with blood covered almost the entire ground and splattered everywhere.

The beast let out a deep and low growl before he plunged into air and landed on his fours. He leapt higher and landed on a dead body, which tainted his already dirty fur by spluttering blood all over him.

The beast leapt again until he reached the safety ground, which was clean from any dead bodies and proceeded toward the king's wing.

He could smell his mate's scent even though it was faint. Hope was here before, not only that, she was with Raphael and Lana too.

The fact that she was not alone, calmed his nerves as he picked up his speed.

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

Raphael was about to follow Jedrek when he heard someone grunting from a direction opposite to which Jedrek stormed off.

If it was not for the familiar scent that he already knew like the back of his hand, Raphael wouldn't walk back to check on him.

All in all, he knew this scent very well.

"Calleb!" Raphael skidded to a halt when he saw the Gamma lying on the cold floor, gasping for air. "Hei! Wake up!"

Raphael shook his body, but Calleb still didn't open his eyes, and when he saw how Calleb was suffocated by something that he couldn't understand, the Beta slapped his face really hard.

"Arrghh!" Calleb opened his eyes all of sudden and glared at Raphael in confusion. "Why did you slap me!?" he shouted angrily.

On the other hand, Raphael slapped his other cheek again, but this time not as hard as the first one. "If you are already awake, follow me. We need to find Jedrek."

Calleb shook his head and rubbed both of his cheeks. This Beta was crazy, but he couldn't remember what was happening to him until Raphael helped him to stand up and he saw the blood on the floor. Only then he remembered.

"Raph!" he shouted in shock. "The centaur betrayed us! He will do something to the guardian angels, we have to find them first before we look for Torak's brother!"

"No!" Raphael immediately grabbed Calleb's hand to stop him and then he dragged the Gamma with him. "Raine and Hope are with Torak and Lana now, they are safe. However, Lilac is missing, the centaur took her with him. And now, we have to stop Jedrek before he lashes out and the situation goes out of hand," he explained their current situation briefly.

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

Kace shifted into his human skin when he smelled Jedrek's scent which got closer as he kept walking toward the king's wing, before he could finally see him at the end of this hallway.

"Jedrek!" Kace ran toward the Alpha. He was slightly relieved that Jedrek had reached this place first before he did, even though he felt something was off with the way his brother glared at him. "What happe…"

Yet, before Kace could finish his question, Jedrek had grabbed his throat and pushed him against the wall until it dented because of the force.

Kace widened his eyes in surprise. He didn't know the reason why Jedrek attacked him all of sudden. Fortunately, he got his answer right away.

"I TOLD YOU THAT THOSE CREATURES COULDN'T BE TRUSTED!" He roared angrily at Kace, even he himself, who had the blood of Donovans running through his veins, had to grit his teeth at Jedrek's domination. He was going all 'Alpha' on him.

Kace regained his composure immediately and twisted Jedrek's hand as he kicked him to break the grip. He even clawed his face and left ugly scars, yet Jedrek didn't care about the pain anymore, as he glared at Kace viciously.

He was insane!historical
