The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 774 - BAD NEWS (2)

"Raphael killed Kyle?" Torak frowned when he heard what the guard told him and Kace. It didn't make sense for him, he knew Raphael very well that his Beta wouldn't make a reckless decision like that, even though they had known Kyle as the traitor.

"Why all of sudden Raphael killed Kyle?" Kace was also confused. It sounded weird, they just left the castle a few hours ago, but why things had escalated so fast there?

"General Theo has regained consciousness and now a healer checks on her." The guard then added. "And also, Lady Lana is injured during the attack."

"Lana is injured?!" Kace bolted up from his seat.

Aside from Torak and Kace inside the tent, which was built near the town that was being attacked a few days ago, there were Chiron, Delta and five Alphas from Torak's pack, while the other member of his pack camped outside.

Even now, the town was already packed because of them. However, they had to think about another site, since there would be more people who would come to join them from Torak's pack and the shifters that Kace had gathered with the help of Sterling.

"How is she now?" Torak still looked calm, but now it answered his confusion upon Raphael's action. His Beta was always the level headed person, if he had done something without his permission, the situation must be required a quick decision.

And it looked like what had happened, related to Lana's safety therefore, it seemed that what Raphael did was to be expected.

"Lady Lana is fine, she only needs to rest for a few days," the guard conveyed what he knew.

"I will go back to the castle," Kace said hastily, but Torak rejected his idea.

"No, you stay here and coordinate with them, I will go back to the castle to check the situation there." Torak took his cloak and walked out of the tent, without waiting for Kace's answer.

Hence, his younger brother chased after him and caught up with Torak before he shifted into his white beast.

"Wait! Why should I wait here?! I should go back to the castle. I need to check on my mate and Lana!" Kace protested. He hated this if he had to listen to his older brother's order.

"Lana doesn't need you, Raphael is there," Torak pointed out the oblivious. Lana needed her mate more rather than a brotherly concern from Kace. "Your mate will be with Raine and both of them will be well protected." Torak would make sure of it.

"Good!" Kace said sarcastically. "Then we can go back together."

"No," Torak said firmly.

"And why 'no'?" Kace knitted his brows, didn't look slightly happy with Torak's constant rejection.

"There is no one here who would lead them," Torak said in matter of fact tone.

Kace scoffed and laughed dryly. "You have a lot of Alpha from your pack there." He pointed the big tent behin him with his thumb.

"But, there is no Donovan there," Torak said.

"Why do you need a Donovan?" He asked incredulously.

"So, they will know who lead them." Torak turned around and was about to shift, but Kace grabbed his shoulder and stood in front of him.

"Like you said, this is our war. Why do you need a Donovan? Anyone can take that role for all I care." Kace didn't want to be inside that tent and giving an order. As much as he hated to take an order from his older brother, he didn't want to give order to other people again.

"Anyone can be leaders, then what? We will never win the war because everyone leads themselves." Torak raised his brows questioningly. "We led the war before and we will lead it again now."

In all honesty, from what they had been through before, there was no certainty in time of war. The person that you thought could be trusted, turned out to be a biggest traitor. If there was no one capable enough to take the control and placed their trust to wrong person, they would be doomed.

There was countless traitors could be found in the first war and they were facing it now, starting with Jedrek's people.

At the very least, the three Donovans would choose to face the other person head to head and wouldn't stab behind their brothers' back, if they really wanted to execute their other brother.

"I can't lead them," Kace said grimly.

"Yes you can." Torak shrugged Kace's hand from his shoulder. "You used to lead them before and you will lead them now."

After saying that, Torak leapt forward and landed in his white beast. His big paw pounded the ground heavily when he dashed toward the castle in hurry.

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

"She is sleeping now," Raphael said in rigid tone, leaning against the door of Lana's nursing room and didn't let anyone to come inside, so they wouldn't disturb Lana's sleep.

In front of the defensive Beta was Calleb, Raine and Hope.

"Is she all right?" Raine asked in timid voice. She had never seen Raphael was so agitated like this before.

Raphael sighed when he heard Raine, he knew that he was overreacting, yet he couldn't help it. "Yes, Raine. She just needs a few days of rest."

"Oh, it's a good news." Raine smiled and sat down on the chair nearby, followed by Hope. The guardian angels didn't say much afterward.

Meanwhile, Calleb walked toward him and squeezed Raphael's tense shoulder, as if saying; it's all right, everything would be okay.

Not long time after that, Lilac came to ask about Lana and Raphael let her know what he had told the other people.

"Silver can be dangerous for shifters," Lilac murmured.

"I killed Kyle, but I think Serefina managed to get Rowan and keep him alive." Raphael said. He knew the importance of the two traitors to keep them alive, but he had killed one of them in fit of rage, yet he didn't regret it regardless.
