The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 829 - WHY DON'T YOU KILL THEM?

"Why do I feel like you were treating those centaurs and hunters as prisoners?" Raphael asked Sebastian when the lycan walked into the room with the rest of the people while guarding them tightly.

Some people were delegated to stay on the other side of the gates. And, since the strange dark rain had stopped, they had started rebuilding the gates which they had busted down yesterday, the first thing in the morning along with a few people from the city.

Meanwhile the rest of them were guarding the hunters and centaurs in a circle around them, as they walked them into the castle. The dungeon wouldn't be enough to hold all of them at the same time, thus they used one of the big aula to gather them in one place.

That room would be guarded heavily and no one was allowed to enter without permission from the general.

"The king's order," Sebastian said coldly. He was pretty annoyed with the fact that Jedrek didn't give a direct order to kill those wretched creatures, when their chief had taken their king's mate.

Though he had not grown fond of Lilac yet, since the mating ceremony had taken place and she was their queen now, it was an insult for them to have other creatures creating such a mess. historical

On the other hand, Raphael could understand why Jedrek gave such an order, therefore he didn't ask further about this matter and chose to take care of other things.

For now, since Serefina had gone, Lidya took charge of securing the city, especially the castle, from outsider's dark magic, or anything that could possibly harm them from any unprecedented situations.

It was a mess, even inside the castle, as the three Donovans were not present to take control, hence, it was a little bit chaotic.

Not to mention, that the people present were from different areas and lived under different leaders, they didn't really get along with each other.

There would be a few quarrels here and there, now and then.

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

Raine and Hope's attention turned to their respective mates, who were snarling viciously at the seven devils and Serefina. The witch didn't even flinch when she heard those thunderous growls.

Raine and Hope assumed Serefina's betrayal had hurt them the most compared to Chiron. It hurt the two guardian angels too, since it was literally Serefina, who had helped them all along the way to reach this point in their life, despite her snarky comments and bad attitude.

However, now the witch had let go of their hands and turned her back against them. It was hard to believe, but the fact was right before their eyes. It was impossible for them to find any comfort to think that it was one of Serefina's plan, wasn't it?

If it was, Serefina would have already indicated something, anything, that could make them understood why she had done this.

Raine shifted her attention from Torak to Serefina, who was staring back at her, she wanted to ask 'why', but it seemed the witch couldn't understand the meaning behind her gaze, as she turned around and disappeared alongside with the other seven devils, leaving the spot where they were standing empty. Only the golden color of the sun glittered in that empty spot.

"Come on Raine," Hope broke Raine's reverie and tugged her to approach their respective mates, since the situation was no longer dangerous for them.

Hope let go of Raine's hand when she was close enough to Kace and pounced onto that man and almost made the lycan staggered back before he could steady himself, scolding her lightly.

Meanwhile Torak approached Raine unhurriedly and caressed her hair gently, as he leaned over and kissed her temple.

"You did a great job," Torak said proudly.

"I did nothing," Raine replied as her eyes stared at Jedrek, who had walked away with Lilac in his arms, seemingly he didn't care about anything anymore, even killing Chiron and Carina was no longer interested him.

The only thing that he wanted now, was to take Lilac back to the castle and make sure that the treatment that his mate needed was provided to her. Behind him, Eaton, in his beast form, followed closely, guarding the king and queen.

"If it is not for you who stopped the time at the most appropriate moment, then Jedrek wouldn't have been able to save Lilac in time," Torak said softly. He wanted Raine to be more confident with her own power.

However, for Raine, she was still clueless about how this power worked. It didn't seem like she could stop the time at her will, or jump to a different era as she wished.

"What about him?" Raine didn't want to dwell with Torak's flattery and nodded at Chiron, who was sitting on the ground in a weird position, since he injured his stomach and waited for the wound to close in.

At the same time, Carina managed to free herself from Zarrn's grip and rushed toward Chiron.

Torak and Kace immediately pushed their mates behind their back, they didn't want for those two creatures to come close to their women, while Calleb glared to the two creatures.

"Chiron…" Carina knelt next to him and started sobbing while resting her head on his shoulder.

From behind them Zarrn walked closer and approached the two Donovan brothers and the two guardian angels.

"What will you do to them?" But, Zarrn immediately corrected himself. "What will you do to us?"

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

Serefina heaved a heavy breath.

She watched how Jedrek put aside his pride and bent his knees in front of his enemies to save Lilac's life. Not only that, he didn't spare her a single glance when he took Lilac from Chiron's grip and carried her away, even though he knew Serefina was merely a few steps away from him.

Yes, Serefina realized that Raine had used her power and stopped the time.

Probably, if Jedrek threw her a nasty look or disgusted by her presence, it would put her at ease, but he didn't. He completely ignored her after the initial shock when he realized that she too had crossed the bridge.

"Why didn't you kill the three guardian angels?" Serefina asked Lucifer.

"We need them alive," Belphegor replied simply.
