The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 803 - IN OTHER WORDS...

The campsite was large enough to cover all the empty land between the city and the town that had been attacked by rogues a few weeks ago, not to mention about some strange scent in the air in here which was very strong and overwhelming to their sensitive noses, making it almost impossible to track anyone's scent, thus it was not an easy task to find Carina.

However, since the centaurs were not someone to mingle with the other Lycans or the shifters, and the hunters from the village didn't really get along with the rest of Torak's pack, they decided to camp in a different spot.

And, it was that place to where Kace headed right now. He needed to talk to Chiron, to get an advice or two about what he should do with those people. Torak didn't say anything helpful when he gave this task to him and Jedrek couldn't be bothered since Lilac didn't seem to wake up any soon.

"Where is Carina?" Kace asked Delta, the leader of the hunters, when he arrived at their campsite.

"There," Delta said while pointing his finger toward the side where several people were sparring, a training ground. "Are you looking for Carina because you wanted to ask about Chiron's whereabouts?" he asked.

"Yes," Kace shifted his attention toward Delta. "Do you know where he is? I can't find him and Zarrn said he was yet to see him since two days ago."

"So do I," Delta said as he sharpened his sword. "But, you will not get any useful answer from Carina, I have tried it a few times, but she seemed to shut her mouth, unwilling to reveal anything." A slight irritation could be sensed in the voice ofthe head of the hunters.

"Why?" Kace felt that it was a little bit strange, since Carina was always with Chiron, even though they were not mates, but he thought they found some consolation around each other, or that was what Kace thought after being with them for more than a year.

"I don't know, she just didn't want to say it." Delta shrugged his shoulder. "But, maybe you can get some information from her, you seem close."

Kace rolled his eyes. They seemed close just because Carina treated Hope when she just got her mark and too weak to even stay awake for a long time, that happened before she met with the other guardian angel. And, afterward Hope miraculously got healed within no time.

"I will go to her," Kace mumbled as his brows knitted together in a deep frown.

He went toward Carina, who was standing to aside in the training ground, she appeared to be watching the match, but when one observed closely, it was clear that her eyes had already wandered off to a distant place.

"Carina," Kace called her and she got startled when he tapped her shoulder. "Sorry, I scared you," he mumbled. However, Kace felt some something wrong vibes with the way Carina reacted to him.

The female centaur always presented herself as someone who was collected and level- headed, but now she appeared distraught, as if she was carrying a huge burden on her shoulders and couldn't get rid of it.

"No, it's okay," she said, but her stiffened shoulders couldn't hide her nervousness.

"Do you know where is Chiron?" Kace asked lightly, but his blue eyes were glued on to her face and he could vividly see how Carina became more anxious with the question.

"I don't know," she said immediately. "I have been looking for him too."

"Really?"Kace squinted his eyes at Carina. "When was the last time you saw him?" he asked again.

"Two days ago," Carina answered while avoiding seeing Kace in the eyes.

"And you don't know where he went?" Kace crossed his arms in front of his chest and stared at the female centaur closely.

Carina tilted her head and looked at Kace."I don't know," she emphasized each and every word.

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

The night was so dark without the light from the moon and Kace's shadow danced on the floor because of the wind that blew the burning torch.

He walked alone toward the throne room, nodding his head slightly at all the guards who greeted him.

"They know how to heal her?"

Kace heard Jedrek's voice from inside the throne room, from his voice alone, he could say that his older brother was not in good mood, but then, Jedrek had not been in good mood for as long as he could remember, thus it didn't make any difference.

Kace pushed the door open and walked inside. He was rewarded with a brief look from Jedrek, Torak and Calleb.

"What happened here?" he asked in a puzzled tone.

"Raine and Hope figured a way to heal Lilac," Calleb answered Kace immediately.

"Good," Kace said, but it couldn't cease the confusion from his expression. "That is a good news, so why all of you look upset." He stared at his older brothers.

Yet, instead of answering Kace's question Jedrek stormed out of the throne room, followed by Torak, who was shouting at him.

"What do you want to do!?" Torak rushed out of the room to chase after Jedrek.

"Can you tell me what happened here?" Kace looked Calleb. "I have only been out for a whole day, but why does it seem like there is so much going on here?"

"Let's go," Calleb tapped Kace on his shoulder and walked out of the room.

"Hey, tell me what happened?" Kace called after him while half- running to catch up to Calleb.

"Raine and Hope said that if they continue staying around Lilac, it might help her condition, to recover faster." Calleb explained it to Kace while they were walking toward the king's wing.

"So, what was the problem with that?" Kace frowned. He couldn't see any?sort of problem with that arrangement. "It's good that Lilac can heal faster so my annoying brother can function properly," he said in annoyance.

"The problem is…" the two of them arrived at the king's wing and watched how Jedrek and Torak were talking to Hope while Raine just stood beside her. "…They want to spend day and night with Lilac until she is fully recovered."

In other words, the three poor lycan should sleep alone until Lilac regained her consciousness and no one could tell for sure when it would happen.

"I will close the door, good night."

Hope said as she closed the door, leaving Jedrek and Torak in an awkward position.

"I don't like this," Torak said grimly.

"Hm."Jedrek was thinking whether he should bust down the door or not.
