The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 947 - WHY ARE YOU HIDING HERE?

"Lilac, I don\'t want to talk about this, trust me and let me handle this," Jedrek talked to her in an impassive tone, he knew this would be her reaction. "You don\'t have to do anything, just stay with me."

Lilac shook her head vigorously. "Jedrek, do you even understand what you were talking about right now?" her voice was barely a whisper in her shocked state. "You want the war to be prolonged? Do you realize what you were asking for?"

Everything seemed very strange, Jedrek looked like a crazy man when he said that he wanted the war to continue longer than necessary. It shouldn\'t be like that…

"I know," Jedrek said, he didn\'t seem ashamed when he admitted that, as if that was the right thing to do in his eyes right now. "You can pretend that you don\'t know about this." Jedrek walked closer to approach his mate, but Lilac backed away from him, as if she was afraid of the king.

"How can I pretend that I don\'t know?" Lilac asked grimly, she looked around her and watched the gloomy and dark sky outside.

This strange weather must have something to do with the people\'s odd behavior. The Jedrek she knew wouldn\'t say something very egoistic like that, right?

She had been having a bad feeling about the weather ever since they couldn\'t see the light from the sun and now people were turning more and more weird…

"Let\'s go back and forget about what the stone showed you." Jedrek then added, "Whatever it showed you, just forget about it, okay?"

Upon hearing his words , Lilac laughed wryly, yet there was no humor in it, and her eyes looked at her mate sharply. "No, Jedrek, you are out of your mind."

"Lilac," Jedrek called her name and it sounded like he was pleading her. "Don\'t look at me that way."

"How should I look at you then?" Lilac narrowed her eyes and sighed deeply. "You have to stop this craziness Jedrek."

But, then Lilac realized something.

"Did the other Donovans know about this? Were you three in this together?" She asked him in a hard tone.

"Torak, I don\'t think you can treat Raine like this," Calleb talked to Torak when he left Raine\'s room and let Jack console her. "Moreover… is what Raine said true?"

Torak shifted his attention from the map on the table to his new Beta. "Just do what I said," he said firmly and didn\'t leave any space for negotiation.

Calleb narrowed his eyes. "So, what Raine said is true?"

"She is your Luna!" Torak shouted at him, he looked more frustrated than ever. He didn\'t want to fight with Raine and couldn\'t believe that she gave him a very strong reaction, though he should have known it coming.

"Yes, she is my Luna, but she is also your mate, why don\'t you listen to her?" Calleb tried to fight the urge to lower his head submissively, he needed to make his Alpha understood that he was behaving oddly.

When Torak heard that, he turned around and glared at Calleb that forced him to avert his eyes, as his beast whined in his head.

"You will not question me like this, Beta." Torak made sure to emphasize every word that he said. "Now, you can go and make sure Raine is still inside her room, or else, you don\'t want to know the consequences."

Calleb murmured, "yes, Alpha." However, he still stood there, as if there was something else that he wanted to say.

"What is it?" Torak asked irritably.

"What about Raphael\'s son and Rossie?" If Torak went all the way to keep his mate safe, then he wanted to know about the safety of his mate too, what was more, Eddard\'s safety wasn\'t something he could take lightly. Eddard was Raphael\'s precious son, Torak wouldn\'t let anything happen to them, right?

"They will be safe. There will be someone who will bring them to the safest place and you can meet them there eventually," Torak said. He knew Calleb\'s concerns and had thought about this thoroughly.

"Okay…" Calleb nodded his head and walked out of the room, but before he got out, he turned around and looked Torak right in his eyes. "Will you really sacrifice those people until you can find a way to save Raine?"

This time, it was Torak, who averted his eyes and looked at the gloomy sky. "Yes," he said firmly. "Until I can find a way to ensure her safety."

Sometimes love could make you do crazy things and desperation only made it worse.

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

Hope closed her eyes, but the moment she opened them, she was not in the room, where she was with Kace a moment ago.

This place was bright white, as if the walls were painted in white color, or maybe there were no walls in the first place.

"What is this?" Hope was flabbergasted upon finding where she was. "How can this be…?"

The first thought that came to her mind was; she had been teleported, but then she didn\'t have such power to do so and then she thought about Raine, maybe she teleported them to a different time, but she didn\'t see Raine even after looking around her.

Instead of Raine, Hope spotted a boy, who buried his face between his knees, while hugging his legs tightly.

The moment her eyes laid upon his lonely figure, she realized that this was not a new place, she had been here before, along with the recognition, came a familiar feeling which flooded her veins.

Hope approached the young man with light steps and crouched down in front of him.

"Hey, are you okay?" Hope nudged his arm to get his attention and when the young man raised his head, Hope smiled brightly. "We meet again," she said in a relieved tone. "What happened now? Why are you hiding here?"
