The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 830 - LET JEDREK DECIDED IT

It was Belphegor, who replied to her question simply. "We need them alive," he said while walking past her.

"For what?"Serefina scoffed and folded her arms in front of her chest. "You got their blood already, you don\'t have to keep them alive any longer."

Mammon, who was walking in front of Serefina, stopped all of a sudden and the witch almost bumped onto him.

"Sh*t!" she cursed loudly. "Can\'t you walk properly?!"

Mammon chuckled. "I think you will make a good pair with Wrath rather than that pathetic Alpha king," he said casually, but the rest of the devils chuckled with him. "And yes, we still need them alive… it\'s no fun to kill the three of them very fast. Don\'t you think so?"

Serefina jeered, "What are you planning to do with them, keeping them alive?"

"You are not here to question us," Wrath said grimly as he walked past Serefina, but he didn\'t forget to bump into her shoulder and incurred the witch\'s wrath. "Did you think that we will trust you that easily?"

Not just the shifters, which loved to play with their prey, the devils apparently had the same obsession too.

"You two whispered to the centaur to kill the guardian angel, but now you are saying you want to spare their lifes? Can\'t you be more consistent with your own decision?" Serefina spoke, her voice dripping with heavy sarcasm.

"I didn\'t say that I am against killing the guardian angels, but apparently, our dear Lucifer has other plans for actually keeping them alive," Mammon chimed in. "Of course, it is good if they are dead, but it is even more better if they are alive." He shrugged nonchalantly.

"Alright, enough." Lucifer raised both of his hands and stopped Serefina and the wrath from wreaking some havoc in this already crumbled place.

"I don\'t think we have any use to have the witch with us," Beelzebub said to Asmodeus. The two devil women stared at Serefina as they whisper- talked with each other.

"No, I don\'t think so… let\'s see what she can offer to us…" Asmodeus replied in a daydreaming tone. "Moreover, it is very interesting to see how that guardian angel stopped the time, don\'t you think so?" she elbowed Belphegor beside her.

"Hmm," the sloth hummed lazily.

"Will you really give the king back to her? Though it was very clear that Jedrek had already fallen head over heels to his mate?" Beelzebub still couldn\'t understand why Asmodeus brought Serefina with them and promised that stupid thing to the witch.

Asmodeus shrugged her shoulders and giggled coquettishly. "If Jedrek died in our hands, I can pick him up from tartarus and she can have him for herself." She winked at the Gluttony. "In the end, I didn\'t lie."

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

"Why don\'t we kill them all?" Calleb suggested, he threw a nasty look at Chiron and Carina, who were on the ground.

"As you wish," Chiron replied in a low voice. The dagger he used earlier was given to him by Lucifer, it seemed this weapon had been dripped in some kind of poison. A wound from a small dagger shouldn\'t weaken him into his current state, but the pain said otherwise, he felt his consciousness slipping away and the cut didn\'t heal as fast as it supposed to be.

At this point, there was no point to beg for his life and after what he had done, even after watching Jedrek kneel before him with his own eyes, Chiron still felt empty.

He felt like, he accomplished nothing.

"No, Chiron…" Carina whimpered as she hugged the centaur, her whole body trembling, as she sat in a weird position to support Chiron\'s weight.

Meanwhile, Zarrn didn\'t have a word to say. He couldn\'t justify what Chiron had done, but to see his chief and Carina being killed before his eyes, was too cruel for him if he didn\'t even do anything, even it was pleading.

"Can you please forgive them?" Zarrn stepped forward and pleaded for the two of them. "Chiron was not in his right mind when he decided to kill the guardian angel."

The moment Zarrn mentioned it, Torak, Kace and Calleb became even angrier.

Zarrn immediately realized that he had said something wrong, thus he quickly corrected himself. "You saw it for yourself that the devils manipulated him, they whispered to him. You know what it meant when the devils whispered to you…"

Right.

However, if that could justify what Chiron had done to Lilac, then the same reason could be used to justify Jedrek\'s decision to kill those centaurs centuries ago, he didn\'t decide that on his own too.

But, then… when would this circle stop?

Kace shook his head. "I don\'t want this to end this way."

"Let Jedrek decide what he want to do to them…" Torak shifted his attention to Zarrn. "And you as well."

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

Halfway to the city behind the gates, Sebastian had sent out around thirty shifters to receive Jedrek and their queen, thus Lilac\'s condition could be treated faster, since they knew what they had to prepare the moment Jedrek and Lilac arrived inside the castle.

Lilac had not opened her eyes since Jedrek took her away from Chiron\'s grip, but from the way she curled her fingers weakly on Jedrek\'s front cloak and how she whimpered when Jedrek was about to put her down on their bed, he could sigh in relief that his mate was conscious enough to feel his presence.

"I am here little flower, I am here. No one will ever hurt you again," Jedrek coaxed Lilac to let go of his shirt, so the healer, who had been called beforehand, could check on her.

Yet, Lilac snuggled closer when she lost the warm from his embrace.

In the end, Jedrek had to cradle her when the healer checked her thoroughly. Not only the healer, Lidya also took a part of checking Lilac as well.
