The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 832 - WHY DON'T YOU DO IT?

"She is not that shallow…" Kace said, refusing to believe that was the reason behind Serefina's decision. Maybe it was only their denial, but it was enough to calm their raging emotions.

Today was a hard day for all of them, but it didn't mean that all of this craziness would stop tomorrow.

"We need to take some rest," Kace murmured next to Hope's ears and he moved swiftly to carry the girl to the bed, laid her down real smooth and cuddled her affectionately.

This was all they needed for now.

Because this was just the beginning, they still had a long way to go before the real war started. Sometimes, it was easier to beat down one's enemies, but things would get really ugly when you realized the people that you used to know were not exactly the person that you believed them to be.

"I don't want things escalate to the point where we have to fight Serefina… I don't want something bad happen to her…" Hope whispered softly, her voice sounded very pitiful until Kace had to hug her even tighter, afraid that she would break down again.

"So do I," Kace replied, but he couldn't promise her anything, he himself was feeling utterly lost.

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

Someone knocked on the door and after Jedrek muttered his permission to let them in, the healer walked into the room with a young servant, she was holding a bowl of medicine.

"She needs to drink it while it is still warm," the healer told Jedrek and the king nodded his approval, waved his hand dismissing them. He wanted more alone time with his mate.

After seeing that gesture, the two women excused themselves and left the two of them alone again.

Jedrek picked up the bowl, which was filled with brown liquid, he sniffed it before tasting it. And, only when he was sure that it was not something that could harm his mate, he tried to wake up Lilac.

Jedrek didn't trust anyone else to try the medicine for his mate.

Watching Lilac at the brink of death had put Jedrek in the same position as well. His heart would have stopped right then and there if the dagger managed to pierce her heart.

Just the thought of it made him tremble with terror.

"Lilac…" Jedrek called out her name softly. "Drink your medicine first…" He tried to wake her up as gentle as he could.

"Hm…" Lilac m.o.a.ned as she curled her body under the blanket when Jedrek shook her shoulder lightly.

"Wake up for a while and drink this first," Jedrek said in a soft persuading tone, he put his hand under her head and lifted her up so he could cradle her in his arms. "Come, drink this…"

Lilac's eyelashes fluttered and she watched as Jedrek brought the bowl near her lips, and how he clumsily tried to help her drink the liquid.

However, because Jedrek had never fed someone as sick as Lilac, he didn't really know how to do it gently. He never encountered someone who was very sick like her now, and even if did, he had never done something delicate like this; to feed them medicine.

Therefore, when Jedrek lifted the bowl, in order to will the medicine to flow in to her mouth, he overturned the bowl quickly and it caused Lilac to choke on it.

"I am sorry, I am sorry…" Jedrek immediately put down the bowl and cursed under his breath for his lack of competence for not being able to feed his own mate properly.

"It… it's okay…" Lilac wiped the liquid from under her chin, but it tainted her gown, thus she needed to change it. "Use spoon," she said weakly. It was hard for her to even stay awake, her eyelids really felt heavy. She felt like her whole body was being afloat.

"Oh." Jedrek felt stupid that that simple idea didn't even cross his murky mind.

The king immediately mind-linked the guard outside to get a spoon for him, thankfully everything returned to normal since Lidya had lifted whatever spell that the devils used to mess up with their way to communicate with each other.

"We need to change your dress," Jedrek said when he saw that Lilac was feeling uncomfortable with the liquid that wetted her dress. "I will call the servants."

"Will you go if they come inside?" Lilac asked, as she rested her head on Jedrek's shoulder.

"Of course not, I will stay here," Jedrek replied almost immediately. He wasn't willing to stay more than three steps away from Lilac.

"If you are going to stay…" Lilac heaved a deep breath, this long sentence tired her. "…why don't you change my dress yourself?"

Honestly, Lilac didn't feel comfortable with someone else being so close to her. She needed her mate and wanted nothing but for him to stay with her.

Upon hearing what Lilac said, Jedrek's eyes turned dark, but he agreed anyway. "Alright."

Jedrek put Lilac down on the bed and immediately took a white dress and towel from the wardrobe and comeback to her.

The king sat down on the edge of the bed and slowly, unbuttoned the dress that Lilac was wearing. As Jedrek was fully engrossed in what he was doing, the guardian angel opened her eyes and looked at him while he undressed her.

Her black eyes turned misty when she watched his brows knitted together in concentration. he was being absolutely focused on the matter at hand.

"You knelt for me," Lilac said when Jedrek revealed her chest, she shuddered when the cold air caressed her bare skin.

Jedrek immediately used the towel to wipe the remaining liquid on her delicate skin. "What do you expect me to do? You thought I would leave you?"

"For a moment, yes," Lilac replied truthfully. There was a moment that she thought Jedrek wouldn't do what he was asked to and he would leave her to die in the hands of the centaur.

"Don't be silly," Jedrek grumbled as he tried to concentrate on something else except her half n.a.k.e.d body, but her question only disturbed him further. "I would never do that."

"Because I am your mate?" Lilac questioned the same thing that Raine and Hope had been wondering the most.
