The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 1066: Nostalgic (2)

This place was so dark and humid, and was very long. It took them a few minutes to reach the end of it.

And with the tension in the air, it felt like it was longer than it should be...

Lilac walked in front of Jedrek without fear and it amazed him how the girl with such small frame held so much guts to walk alone on her own, not to forget that she could just turn around and ask Jedrek to walk in front of her, for she could very well hide behind him.

Alright, that was the most ridiculous thought that had ever crossed Jedrek's mind.

The guardian angel that destroyed half of his aula when he met her for the first time and fought seven of his generals in a single battle, would never do that.

A woman, who was brave enough to fight alongside with him during the war and strong enough to see her mate holding another woman and cried for her, would never do that...

Lilac was so strong... body and mind.

And it made the hollow in Jedrek's heart grow bigger with every little detail that he missed.

How deep was the cut that Jedrek had inflicted on her? Or, how far had his actions wounded her? Lilac had never showed it in front of him.

Hence, Jedrek didn't know how ruthlessly he crushed her feelings...

After some time, they walked down the stairs and came another door, but before Lilac could open it, Jedrek stretched out his hand and reached to it first.

"Let me," he said.

At first, Lilac didn't budge, she just stood there and stared at Jedrek with a questioning look.

"At least, let me do this," Jedrek tried to ignore her sharp gaze, as he couldn't help but sigh. "If there is something dangerous behind this door, at least you will be alive to finish this mission."

What was that? Did they just go back to the way they interacted with each other when they met for the first time?

Because this was the way they used to talk, neglecting the concern in Jedrek's voice now.

Lilac shrugged her shoulders when she heard that. "Whatever you see behind the closed door or whoever you meet later, don't ever show your emotion or stray away from me."

Jedrek scrunched his brows and looked at his mate, who didn't even want to look back at him, as she kept? her eyes fixed on the door.

"What are you waiting for? Christmas?" Lilac grumbled because Jedrek didn't make any move even after a full minute.

Alright, angry was better... At least, Lilac showed some emotion toward him and with this thought, Jedrek felt very pathetic.

The king then pushed the door open and entered the room.

As soon as they went inside, their bodies shivered involuntarily as cold wind blew past their faces.

This room was so cold as if they just entered a refrigerator. Why was the temperature very low?

Over his shoulder, Jedrek could see Lilac hugging herself as the cold wind wouldn't stop gushing past them and out of instinct, he unbuttoned his jacket and gave it to Lilac, in order to keep her warm.

"You can keep it for yourself," Lilac murmured and was about to walk past Jedrek, but the king draped the jacket over her shoulders.

"Lycanthropes, fortunately, are hot blooded creatures, thus this is still bearable," Jedrek said lightly, buttoning up the jacket, so Lilac couldn't throw it away.

He smiled when he watched how Lilac scrunched her nose in displeasure, she was annoyed.

After that small fuss, they continued to walk further inside, but aside from the coldness of the temperature, this tunnel passageway was not as dark as the one that they walked along earlier.

There was still a glimmer of Illumination along the way, though they couldn't find any light source inside.

Lilac now walked beside Jedrek, her eyes stared at the path before their eyes and not even once did she glance at the king beside her, who was stealing a glance or two at her every now and then.

Jedrek was in deep thoughts about what Lilac was thinking right now, since she had been blocking her mind, not allowing him to hear what was inside her head.

But, Jedrek didn't try to push her, because it would only aggravate the guardian angel further and that was the last thing Jedrek wanted now.

When Jedrek was lost in his own thoughts, he saw something or someone move on his left side and out of instinct he turned his head to takea look.

And everything became different all of a sudden.

Jedrek was no longer inside the cold room with Lilac, but now he was inside a warm room that was filled with rich light, very bright until Jedrek had to squint his eyes.

However, despite of the warm atmosphere, he could feel something bad was happening around here. People were crying, as if they were mourning for something or someone who had died.

Jedrek watched as a woman cried beside a white baby crib and another man was holding her shoulders, whispering something in to her ears, so he could calm her down, yet it took little to none affect on her.

Meanwhile, three other men, who appeared to be doctors, said their condolences and stood aside with grieving expressions etched on their faces.

Jedrek didn't know what was happening, but somehow, he felt his heart was in turmoil having to watch all of this.

His legs trembled and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably, just like someone, who was awaiting his final verdict.

Why was he feeling this way? And why was he here? What were those people doing?

However, in spite of the dozens of questions that were roaming around in his mind, Jedrek felt the urge to walk closer toward the baby crib.

He felt like the time slowed down when he was finally showed the figure inside it.

Jedrek's brows pinched tightly when he finally stood beside the crib and looked down at the small creature, as beautiful and pure as the morning dew.

The beautiful baby puckered her pink lips and her small fingers were curled. She was very beautiful. The most beautiful baby that Jedrek had ever seen.
