The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 1049: Get rid of it

And as soon as Hope saw Rossie's body, which was still in Sterling's arms, her tears broke out again. She turned around and buried her face against Kace's chest.

She still couldn't believe this happened to her bestfriend…

And no... Hope didn't see Rossie's soul, she didn't get to see her for one last time. She was late and Rossie had disappeared completely.

But, now that she was back in the midst of her family, maybe because of that she didn't stay long... and Hope didn't have a chance to say goodbye.

It was a moment for them to mourn for the loss of the people they knew and also a reminder for them to understand how precious their time was, because no one knew what would happen after this...

Would they be still alive to see tomorrow or would they be the ones who would witness their friends leaving one by one?

No one was sure about tomorrow...

Meanwhile, on the other side of this battlefield, the guardian angel was standing behind the man who was supposed to be her mate.

Yes, they were mates, but Lilac knew, whom exactly Jedrek's heart belonged to.

Toward whom, he was feeling this deep sorrow... and there was nothing Lilac could do to say otherwise, because no one could force someone else feelings, could they?

Lilac looked doubtful as she stretched out her hand, but in the end she touched Jedrek's shoulder and knelt beside him.

At first, Lilac didn't want to see Serefina's figure, but she couldn't help but look at her...

In Jedrek's embrace, the witch's face looked so peaceful, like someone who had completed an important mission, like a runner who had reached his finishing line...

At least, after this... Serefina wouldn't feel any more pain...

Her mission had ended now and she had a better ending than she could have imagined...

"We have to prepare a funeral for her..." Lilac said softly to Jedrek. Her little hands rubbed Jedrek's broad shoulders, making soothing circles, as if doing so could make the king feel a little bit better.

But, no one could make Jedrek feel better now...

"We can't delay this any longer..." Lilac persuaded Jedrek to let Serefina go.

Meanwhile, standing behind Lilac and Jedrek, were several magicians and shifters, with their heads lowered, paying their final respects to Serefina.

The last pure blooded witch was gone.

"It is all right now... you can let her go..." Lilac whispered softly to Jedrek, pulling his hand that held Serefina's hand gently.

However, Jedrek turned his head and looked at her with tears in his blue eyes and this was the first time Lilac had seen Jedrek in such a devastated state.

Her heart ached for him.

"I can't let her go, Lilac..." Jedrek answered in a very low voice and when he saw the pain in her eyes, the agony in his heart became even more unbearable. "I can't..."

Lilac felt a lump in her throat that she had to swallow it by force, but she was trying her best, not only for herself, but also for Jedrek and the people who had lost their loved ones.

They couldn't stay down…

They still have things to do...

"I know," Lilac said, caressing Jedrek's face. "You can hold on to me now. You can lean on me."

Lilac took Jedrek's hand and pulled his head against her chest, causing the man to give up the love of his life and letting the witches do their job.

Serefina's body was lifted into the air as soon as Jedrek released her and Lilac formed a bed made of roots and rattan, as Serefina's final resting place.

Lilac still remembered that the witch did not like flowers, therefore, she replaced them with beautiful intricate plaits as decoration.

At least this was the last thing she could do for her...

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

It took a while to get things organized and make the chaos more manageable.

Abby and Leon survived the battle and now the two of them were taking care of the dragon shifters along with several healers who were brought in to help the injured victims.

Meanwhile, the Lycanthropes, shifters, witches and eleven faes who had survived the war, worked hand in hand to make tents for them to rest.

On the other hand, some magicians were still busy taking turns for chanting incantations to curb the beast, who was still feral. They still haven't found a solution how to calm the beast.

In the midst of the bad news that reached them, at least they heard the good news that Baby Eddard was fine and now the baby was under Adah's supervision and was in a safe place.

At least some of those who knew the baby's parents were very relieved to hear this. It was like a breath of fresh air among the bad news that had been circulating around them.

Hope looked up at the dark sky. It had been very long since the last time they had seen the sunlight and felt the heat of the sun burning their skin.

"What are you thinking?" Kace asked Hope, when he found the guardian angel, standing in front of their tent, staring at the murky clouds that had been hanging low in the sky for many months now.

Kace was just helping the others to find all of the liables of the war and gather their dead bodies in one place so they could have a proper burial.

This was why Kace did not like the position of a leader, because every victim he found, he would feel responsible for their deaths.

Only, this time Kace knew that there was nothing more he could do and that this was probably the best result they could get, because things could be even worse after this.

Kace tried to get rid of that feeling and let the beast within him deal with it, since his beast side was more compatible with this matter than his human side.

"Those gloomy clouds are depressing," Hope said honestly, half muttering to herself.

"Can you get rid of them?" Kace asked.
