The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 806 - THE NIGHT CAME

Raphael heard what happened to Lilac after the marking and the mating process, and she was not in a good condition right now, but aside from her being completely exhausted, Jedrek did the same mistake as his brothers, Torak and Kace; he accidentally sapped the guardian Angel\'s energy dry.

It didn\'t help at all.

However, based on the similar situations involving the other two guardian angels, they knew that Lilac would recover from it eventually, though it would take some time. Therefore, there was nothing to be worry about.

Even though Raphael felt slightly uncomfortable; there was this feeling in him that said something was wrong, but he couldn\'t put his finger on whatever specific problem it might be, until Lana mentioned it.

That was why, they were very busy right now, even Calleb had only visited him a few moments ago. However, he didn\'t stay for long and was too dense to realize that there was something different.

"Don\'t you think it is unusually quiet?" Lana asked while munching her lunch. Her beautiful face contorted slightly.

"Yes," Raphael said, as he looked at Lana\'s expression seriously.

Raphael put down the bowl in his hand and walked toward the door to see that the seemingly empty corridor was exceptionally quiet. Usually, there would be two or three guards walking around or the healer with her apprentices.

Yet, Raphael couldn\'t see anyone there. He felt that something was amiss with this situation.

"Lana, I think we should go from here," Raphael said in low voice. He didn\'t want to go and check this place while leaving Lana alone in this room, or stay in this strange silent situation.

However, when Raphael turned around, Lana had gotten off of the bed and was putting a grey cloak on. She knew what she had to do at a moment like this. All of it was thanks to Serefina\'s lesson that made her quickly aware about what she had to do at such a short notice during situations like now.

"Let\'s go," Lana said as she grabbed Raphael\'s hand and led the way out of the place.

Slightly behind her, Raphael stared at his mate in awe. She was just like a brave female warrior and this made him proud.

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

Bree was hugging her little cat when she felt a shadow casting over her and when she raised her head, the bright sunlight was covered with gloomy clouds. Her little face contorted in confusion.

Why did the weather turn gloomy all of sudden?

A woman named Bryana, who was tasked to look after her, approached the little girl and ushered her inside the big house, which was specifically prepared for the people from the village.

"Come inside Bree, I don\'t feel good with the sudden change of the weather," Bryana looked up at the sky with a worried expression as she grabbed the little girl\'s hand and along with the other people, who were enjoying the sunlight a moment ago, went inside the house in hurry just before the thunder strike the dark sky.

Bree looked at her little cat and hugged it tightly while whispering, "don\'t be afraid."

Meanwhile, inside the castle, the same roaring thunder could be heard by a pair of certain shifters, a lycan and a centaur.

Calleb squinted his eyes at Chiron as his eyes turned black and his canines elongated dangerously. He growled at the creature in front of him, which was much taller than him.

"What are you up to, centaur?" his voice was hard and laced with menace.

"I just need to meet with Lilac," Chiron said with the same tone that he always used, ignoring the fact that the lycan could dig his claw into his flesh in a matter of few seconds.

"You are betraying us?" Calleb kept talking, but his eyes caught a glimpse of the dark sky and the big droplets of rain that soon started pouring down. He was certain that he could take down the centaur alone, yet there was something that bothered him. His gut feeling told him that this was not as easy as it seemed.

"I don\'t have to betray you, I never took your side," Chiron said in a matter of fact tone. He just followed Kace and demanded the land of the centaur, which was the right of his kind.

However, those things were different from his personal interest. And, what he was going to do now had nothing to do with the rest of the centaurs. He was doing this on his own.

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

Kace was looking for Sterling when he saw Carina walking toward him and from the look on her face, he could say there must be something important that she wanted to talk with him.

"Kace, we need to talk," Carina said without missing a beat. She looked anxious and it didn\'t seem like her usual self at all.

"I think we should," Kace said curtly, as he followed the female centaur to a spot where there were not many people passing by.

When he followed Carina, Sterling threw him a questioning look.

"Find my brother, I will be back in a minute," Kace said to Sterling, who nodded in understanding and glanced a few times at the centaurs before he led his family to the main tent, where Jedrek and Torak were discussing something.

Once Carina reached the place beside her tent, where she was sure no one would listen to their conversation, she turned around to face Kace. Her face contorted in pain.

"What is it?" looking at Carina made Kace extremely nervous. "Is it something about Chiron?"

"Yes," Carina said without a second thought, this time she didn\'t deny it.

"Tell me," Kace pressed the matter. "Where is he?"

"You have to stop him, Kace." Carina gritted her teeth when she said that.

Yet, at the same time, rumbling of thunder could be heard as the sky turned dark all of sudden, as if the night have arrived ahead of time.
