The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 750 - SLEEP WELL, LILAC

"Where were you?" she asked when Jedrek entered the room.

She was seen trying to bloom a flower on the supposed to empty vase. Jedrek had never been fond of flower since Serefina didn't like it. The witch had allergy to certain flower. Therefore, the old castle was originaly filled with bushes, trees and vines before Lilac came and changed that.

The guardian angel with the power of nature also did the same thing here, in this castle.

This place was usually barren, but now one could see blooming flowers everywhere, though it wasn't the season for them to bloom. And somehow, Jedrek didn't mind it a little bit. He felt a strange feeling of comfort whenever he saw them.

"I don't like red roses." Jedrek strolled across the room and watched the roses bloomed under Lilac's touch. "They don't suit me."

"So, what do you like?" Lilac touched the last flower bud and it opened itself to her, unfolded its soft petals and spread its scent.

Jedrek fell silence for a moment, he gave some thought to her question before he answered with a low and hoarse voice. "Lilac."

Lilac chuckled upon hearing that, she closed her eyes when Jedrek leaned over and kissed her temple for a little bit longer. However, aside from the delicious spark on her skin, she felt something else from him.

The moment Jedrek looked down to her, the guardian angel knew her guess was right.

"So, you like lilac now?" Lilac gave him a side look and continue to fill another empty vase.

"Your hands are injured." Jedrek pointed out the obvious, he frowned when Lilac kept moving them.

"I am practicing." She defended herself. "And you have not answered my question."

"I like Lilac now," Jedrek said as he sat down next to Lilac and took Lilac's hand carefully. "You should rest in your room and stop using your hands or it will take a longer time to heal."

Jedrek had never been too worried about her for trivial things, even though their relationship had started to grow and he had treated her very well ever since Serefina arrived at this castle, but her intuition told her that they were not as close as they seemed. There was still something between them. Either Jedrek's feelings for Serefina or the fact that they could no longer ignore the bond between them.

"I had been resting enough when you were gone," Lilac said. She raised her head and looked him right in the eyes. "And also, my question was; where were you going?"

"I visited Serefina." Jedrek didn't think twice when he answered her. This was his first intention when he looked for Lilac.

Lilac widened her eyes upon hearing the truth. The idea of Jedrek gave Serefina a visit crossed her mind, because no matter how cold he treated Serefina since the first time the witch stepped inside the castle or how he tried so hard to pretend that she was not exist, Lilac could see his brooding look whenever he thougth no one paid attention to him.

However, to hear Jedrek gave her an honest answer was still surprised Lilac, yet she respected it.

"I expect it," Lilac mumbled. "You were looking for me to tell me that?"

"Yes," Jedrek answered curtly. He looked at Lilac deeply, trying to figure out what she had in her pretty little mind, yet Lilac was too calm and Jedrek couldn't read that.

"How is she?" Lilac asked after a long silence that was filled with them staring into each other eyes. "I hope I gave her wounds worse than this." Lilac nodded at her bandage hands. She would be upset if Serefina didn't even get a scratch when she had to be bandaged ang scolded by Jedrek.

"She got a few injuries, but she's healed now." Jedrek smiled softly when he watched Lilac didn't really like what she heard.

"How could that be?" Serefina was not a shifter, so it was impossible for her to have that kind of healing ability.

"She used her magic to heal herself," Jedrek explained it plainly.

"Oh, right." Lilac rolled her eyes dramatically. "She has that power in her."

"You have your own power." Jedrek made his point.

"Not as useful as hers apparently." Lilac waved her hands in front of Jedrek's face, showing his pathetic bandages hand.

Jedrek took her hands and helped her to stand up. "You need to rest," he said in finality, as he guided her to his bed.

"I will rest in my room." Lilac frowned when Jedrek pushed her to resting her head on a pillow that smell like him. It brought comfort to her.

"Rest here, so I know you will not wonder around the castle." Jedrek tucked her inside the warm quilt.

"What are going to do?" Lilac wrapped herself comfortably inside the quilt and it was only her head that could be seen.

"Work," Jedrek said, as he walked over to the table and picked a few doc.u.ment to be brought to the chair near the window.

Lilac watched him in silent, but the comfort didn't manage to make her sleepy, thus she asked the question that she really wanted to know.

"Jedrek," Lilac called her, her eyes were downcast.

"Hmm?" Jedrek had a doc.u.ment on his hand, a good pretense to conceal his brooding mind.

"What were you talking about with Serefina?" Lilac stilled her heart to hear the worse, or maybe Jedrek wouldn't tell her anything.

"Nothing. A few argument of the past. Many unanswer questions." Jedrek put down his pretense and looked at Lilac from across the room. "But it's over now."

"What is over?" Even after having this conversation more than twice and it would end up with Jedrek told her that he chose her over Serefina, but it couldn't completely convince her.

"The thing between us." The words sounded dry in his own ears, as if it was someone else who spoke in his stead. "Sleep well, Lilac."
