The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 826 - GIVE MY MATE BACK

Serefina was wearing the purple cloak, which concealed her own scent. The hoodie of the cloak covered her red hair and concealed a bigger part of her body, but one look, they knew it was her.

"Serefina?" Kace was dumbstruck. He didn't even get over the fact that Chiron betrayed them and now to see Serefina had crossed the bridge as well, made him speechless.

Kace thought he knew Chiron, but he had to come to terms with the fact that he didn't, but for Serefina… d*mn! He had known her for almost his entire eternity, so what happened now?

"What are you doing with them?!" Kace shouted at Serefina, he was about to walk closer toward her, in anger. However, Jedrek grabbed his arm and stopped him. "She is not supposed to be there!" Kace yelled at Jedrek in frustration.

"Your friend was not supposed to be holding my mate as a hostage either!" Jedrek said coldly. His red eyes burned with animosity and a lot of emotions that was hard to describe. His shock turned into rage.

He had enough of having a group of traitors breathing under his neck. Jedrek could line up people who had betrayed him and it would fill the entire city. Seeing Serefina now, shouldn't be a surprise… but, still there was a part of him that wanted the answer about why she did this?

"So, will you kneel?" Belphegor asked lazily as he folded his arms and his golden eyes stared at Jedrek in anticipation.

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

The white beast stopped running and the other beast also did the same. In front of them was the meadow, which Raine had mentioned earlier.

"We are here?" Hope jumped down from Calleb's back and approached Raine to help her get down.

Carefully, the white beast lowered his body and let Raine to scramble down from his back with the help of Hope.

Torak shifted back into his human form and readjusted his mate's cloak, which was slightly crumpled.

"Are you all right?" Torak asked with concern in his eyes and watched as Raine nodded.

"I smell Jedrek and Kace's scents…" Calleb murmured. His nose raised as he sniffed the air.

Only then Torak realized there was indeed his brothers' scents near, since his focus was on Raine, thus he didn't really pay attention to his surroundings.

"But, I don't smell Serefina's scent…" Calleb added. They thought Raine asked them to come to this place to meet Serefina. "Oh, there are other scents too… Lilac… Eaton… and another two centaurs."

"Why we are here, my love?" Torak asked Raine.

"I saw Chiron killing Lilac in my vision," Raine answered hastily as she walked toward the meadow.

"What?" Hope and Calleb shrieked simultaneously. "Impossible!"

Faintly Torak and Calleb could hear Chiron's voice saying; "kneel before me."

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

Chiron never thought the devils would come to this place. This was not their agreement after all.

They were supposed to leave him alone to deal with Jedrek himself, but why would they came all the way to see him humiliating the king?

Chiron wanted to laugh internally. That was why you shouldn't make a deal with the devil…

"What are you waiting for?" Mammon asked impatiently.

If someone asked the king about whom the person that he hated the most… the king would answer; his mate.

He knew that one day his mate would be his greatest weakness and he hated it the most when his enemies got hands on his weaknesses.

If someone asked the king about whom the person that he was grateful for most… the king would answer; his mate.

Lilac came when he thought he had numbed his feelings and filled the void in his cold heart, when he himself couldn't realize that he needed her.

Jedrek had never thought his life would be a lot of worthy when Lilac, against all odds, forced herself into his life and stirred something in his heart again for the first time after such a long waiting.

If someone asked the king about the person whom he want to apologize to… the king would answer; his mate. He wanted to apologize to her from the bottom of his heart.

He gave her nothing but pain. He had done everything that a mate shouldn't do. He hurt her by his reckless decisions, cowardness and enmity.

If someone asked the king what was the best moment in his life… he would answer; the moment when Lilac, accepted him as her mate while beautifully smiling at him. Marking her and mating with her were the following best ones, that he was willing to exchange with everything he had to get his mate back.

If someone asked the king what was the scariest moment in his life… the king would answer; now. Right now.

Watching a sharp dagger pointed against her chest, which could end her life right then and there, and he was being helpless…

Therefore, mate bond or not… Jedrek needed his mate in his life. He couldn't picture himself without Lilac beside him…

At this very moment, there was nothing easier for the king aside from kneeling before Chiron and the devils.

If by doing so, he could save Lilac's life, so be it. He could do it a thousand times.

Slowly, but surely, the proud King lowered himself in front of his enemies. In front of the smirks and triumphant laughs of those wretched souls. Under the hot and complicated stares of Chiron and the centaurs and his own brother.

Jedrek put aside everything that he held tight all this time.

From the corner of his eyes, he caught Serefina gasping softly at what she was seeing now. There was no way the Jedrek, that she knew of would do something like this.

Yet, here he was… bending his knees until they touched the velvety grass, while staring into his mate's beautiful, but sad eyes.

Tears spilled from Lilac's eyes like a small river…

Behind him, Jedrek could hear Eaton's beast snarling in disagreement for having his king lowered himself. However, he knew there was nothing he could do…

Jedrek shifted his eyes to Chiron and said, "you got what you want, now give me my mate back."
