Chapter 1045: Don't go!

Jedrek then stretched out his hand and grabbed Serefina's, which had wiped his tears earlier and brought it to his lips. Kissing those trembling fingers solemnly.

However, the king did not say anything. He just stayed still post that, hugging Serefina's cold body.

If time were to repeat itself and they chose different paths, might they have had different endings?

However, this was unavoidable, because at some point in Jedrek's life, he would meet Lilac because it was what the moon goddess had set in stone.

"Don't cry, because this will only be the end of me, but not yours..." Serefina said in between panting breaths. She really didn't want to see Jedrek sad.

Serefina would leave this way, but Jedrek still had a life he needed to live after. There was still so much work to be done.

And Serefina's greatest regret was; she wouldn't be there, beside Jedrek and watch him like she was used to do, but at least this time Jedrek wouldn't be alone ...

He would have his brothers with him...

Torak and Kace would help him through all of this. They were stuck with each other and would forever be...

"You are the first woman I loved and in the end I couldn't protect you..." Jedrek said softly. He didn't dare look into Serefina's lime green eyes, which were slowly losing their hue of life.

However, Serefina did not allow the king to avoid her, so she stretched out her hand again and touched Jedrek's cheek so that he would turn and look at her straight in the eyes.

Reluctantly, Jedrek complied with her request and found Serefina smiling peacefully at him.

"You are here by my side, hugging me..." Serefina whispered softly and her smile grew even more wider. "That's enough for me."

And Jedrek's tears fell on Serefina's cheeks again, leaving a trace of warmth on them...

Jedrek leaned over and kissed Serefina's lips gently, as the witch breathed her last...

In the arms of her loved one and after relishing a gentle kiss that warmed her cold soul, Serefina was gone for good...

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

Belinda and Sybil were trying to calm down the beast, the out of control beast of Calleb. He went feral after the death of his mate.

His beast killed so many humans and turned the residential area into a slaughter house with the thick smell of blood in the air.

Meanwhile some lycanthropes tried to stop him with no avail.

Calleb in his beast form, overpowered by rage and grief, made it very difficult for others to calm him down. He looked like a monster that would kill anyone who were unfortunate enough to fall in his line of sight.

Whether it was a friend or foe, he no longer cared when the beast instincts within him had completely taken over and rendered Calleb unable to control himself anymore.

However, after killing so many humans on a spree, he ended up feeling drained and weakened due to the side effects of his actions.

Only when he was fully exhausted, could Belinda, Sybil and the several other witches come near Calleb to finally control him.

They locked him in a magical chest, the result of using a restraining spell and restricted his movements so that he could not get out of the invincible box, which served as a cage to him.

This, of course, angered the beast even further. The Beast repeatedly slammed its head against the side of the cage, but it didn't produce any results.

Calleb did this over and over until his roars would be heard blaring through the silence that engulfed their surroundings.

Heart wrenching howls that portrayed his hurt and loss.

While on the other side of the town, Ethan was silent while hugging Rossie's lifeless body.

He couldn't even let a single word out of his lips when he found that he had lost his only younger sister as well.

No anger or outburst erupted from him, like Calleb was doing now, only emptiness. All of this happened so quickly, and within a short period of time he had lost almost all of his family members.

And now Ethan felt that he was no longer connected to the real world, as if he was enveloped in his own sadness and sorrows under the silent night. Like he was being trapped into the feelings of unfairness he felt now.

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

There was no longer any movement from Serefina, and now Jedrek could only look down and stare at the witch's face that had become pale.

He couldn't believe that he and Serefina had to end up like this.

Jedrek could not believe that the witch had left him forever. All of this seemed surreal and almost absurd.

However, this was a fact that was presented in plain sight and no one could say otherwise.

Serefina was gone...

The last pure- blooded witch was dead...

Although, previously Serefina pretended to be treasonous and sided with the devils, but at least Jedrek knew that Serefina existed. She was alive.

However, not this time...

Even though she was in his arms, but her soul was long gone.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Hope, who was still in Kace's arms, could see something over the shoulders of his mate...

She saw her soul...

Serefina now was looking as white as the faintest mist, but her soul was also so obvious. Her body was crystal clear and Hope recognized the shape...

Just like Hope's encounters before...

This soul's figure had a similar shape to the priestess, the children who became sacrifices on Mount Uzu, Chiron and the other centaurs'...

And now, it was Serefina...

Her soul was still there and she stood before her own body and Jedrek who still didn't move from his position.

For a moment, their eyes met and Hope could not hold back her tears when she saw the smile of the witch.

"Don't go..." Hope's plea was like a desperate whisper... "Don't go please..."

And as if all their past memories were returned, Hope seemed to see every second that she had spent with Serefina and Lana.

Lana who was always protective of her or the rare event when Serefina occasionally picked her up at school. As well as the memory about Serefina, in her unconventional style, teaching the parents of the boy who bullied her.

"Don't go..."Hope sniffled again, she shook her head vigorously. "DO NOT GO!"
