The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 812 - THE CLOSED CITY

"ARE YOU CRAZY!?" Kace shouted at Carina, he lost his temper when he heard her saying, "YOU SHOULD STOP HIM!"

Carina jerked away slightly when Kace lashed out at her, but her worry for Chiron made her stood rooted to the ground. "I have told him to stop. But he didn't even want to listen!" Carina whisper-shouted at Kace as she said this.

"Then, why didn't you tell me earlier!?" Kace seethed. If he knew this before, maybe he could prevent Chiron from doing what he was about to do.

"I know! I know!" Carina almost screamed at him. "I was wrong! But, we can't dwell on this now! We have to find him!"

Kace glared at her viciously through his black eyes. "I don't believe it that he fell to the devil's temptation." He shook his head in disbelief.

Carina just told him that a devil came to them when they crossed a bridge inside the forest after they passed a ruin city.

No one knew about the visit of the devil except her because only Carina was with Chiron, while the other people were sleeping, so they could continue their journey the next morning.

When the night turned darker and only a little of?light from the crescent moon was able to shone on their path, the devil emerged from the shadows of the trees and played smart, being highly cunning by offering something that Chiron always wanted.

"No, Kace…" Carina lowered her head. She had never been have to feel so dejected and down like this before. "Chiron never took your side."

"What do you mean?" Kace narrowed his eyes and took a step closer toward her, his gut feeling told him that he didn't want to hear it, yet he pushed that feeling to the back of his head and said, "If only he wanted revenge, he could have taken it out on me a long time ago."

Chiron shouldn't treat him the way he treated him before, if he still held a grudge for what the Donovans did to his kind and, especially, to his mate and unborn child.

But, Carina's next words made him realize how stupid he was to forget the most important issue that led to their current predicament.

"Kace… his target has never been you." Carina looked at him deeply in the eyes. "Like he always said; it was not you who killed his mate."

"D*mn!" Kace cursed loudly under his breath when he just realized the meaning behind Carina's words. "So, all of you fooled me to allow all of your kind to come into this realm again?!"

"No, no!" Carina shook her head. "The other centaurs didn't know about this. Chiron did this on his own and he is doing it alone."

"Then, you expect Jedrek to allow all of you to go back to your land right after your leader kidnapped his mate? They just mated!" Kace lashed out at Carina, he was overwhelmed with pent up frustration. "Do you know what it means for us?!"

"I know," Carina answered, she tried to stop her shaking hands by hugging herself, but she couldn't. The more she thought about it and the way Kace pointed out the mistake that Chiron had made, the more afraid she was of what might happen.

After a lycan marked and mated, it was the time when their bond with their mate would grow stronger. The male Lycan would become more possessive over their mate, as they knew the mark would leave their mate in a vulnerable state as their body was trying to adjust to the new changes...

This was one of the reasons why Jedrek couldn't leave Lilac's side for a few days, despite the responsibilities that weighed down on his shoulders.

"Not to mention about getting your land back! I will not be surprised if Jedrek wanted to kill all of you again for hurting his mate!" Kace snarled at her, but he also felt bad, because this was not totally Carina's fault. "Didn't he think about his own people?"

"Chiron said Jedrek will not kill us because he needed more force for fighting the devil." Carina lowered her head and looked at her hooves, while the thunder and rain poured down on them.

Even the strange oddity of rain couldn't make Kace or Carina turn their attention toward it.

"That is a ridiculous thought," Kace said grimly. How could Chiron could be that stupid to think that Jedrek would let them loose unscathed?

"Chiron will not hurt Lilac. He just wanted to get back at Jedrek, but he will not hurt the guardian angel," Carina added.

"Really?"Kace raised his brows, his words laced with skepticism. "So, why are you telling me this when you believe that Chiron would only kidnap Lilac just to get on Jedrek's nerves?"

Another deafening thunder rumbled as the lightening struck the dark sky.

"I trust Chiron, but I don't trust the devil," Carina said matter of factly. "There was a saying that you don't make a deal with the devil. It must hold some meaning."

Kace closed his eyes to calm his anger. He could feel the beast inside him was about to take control again and this was not the right time for him to resurface. "So, do you know where he is?!"

"I think I know where he is heading to," Carina said.

However at that time, Sterling ran toward them with his hands over his head to protect him from the black liquid drizzle.

"Kace! You have to go back to the castle!" Sterling said in a hurry, there must be something important that have happened.

"What happened?" Kace approached him and looked behind him where Ian and Ethan followed behind his father.

"The devil had just appeared in front of the gates of the city!" Sterling said. "It was Lucifer and now the gates are closed, we are trying to break it down!"

"What?" Kace immediately ran toward the gates. Behind him, he could hear Sterling's words to his sons.

"Go back to your mother and sister, and stay with them!" Sterling growled at them.

Kace even forgot about Carina, but fortunately, like the other centaurs, who had rushed toward the gates to help the other creatures to break it down, she also ran behind Kace.

"Where are my brothers?!" Kace shouted at Sterling.
