Chapter 944   - I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU

Calleb was confused why he had to arrest Raine, thus he did not do what Torak told him immediately and just stared at Raine, befuddled.

"Arrest her," Torak said again, this time his tone was firmer, as he stared right in Raine's incredulous eyes.

"You can't do this to me Torak," Raine said in angry tone, her fists balled beside her body and her jaw clamped tightly.

Torak had never seen Raine being this upset, especially at him. Moreover, they had never been in an argumentation this intense before. An argumentation that sowed discord between them.

"I just want to keep you safe," Torak said in the same tone. "I just want to keep you safe, Raine."Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #’t-want-to-lose-you_51061462096997014 for visiting.

"But, you are killing them in order to keep me safe," Raine spoke slowly, so her words could sink in Torak's conscience.

"Kill who?" Calleb was confused, he didn't understand what they were talking about. Torak and Raine had never been in a quarrel like this before, but seeing how angry Raine looked right now and how determined Torak was, it seemed this was more than a quarrel.

The Beta was in charge of his own duties and the Donovans were running their plan smoothly, thus not many people knew about this.

Moreover, all the lycanthropes wouldn't question their Alpha, this fact alone was enough to keep them oblivious of their horridious plan.

However, the fire dragon lord, Theseus was different, he was as shrewd as his father, and immediately knew there was something wrong with the arrangements the Donovans made for this war.

"You didn't even plan to keep your promise to Stephan," Raine said in disbelief. "I don't know who you are, Torak. The Torak I know will not do something like this."

The Donovans had promised Stephan that they would break the vow with the help of purple since it was the fae that had tied them to that vow, which rendered them unable to shift into their beasts.

However, that didn't happen until now.

"You can't use your power against me and Calleb, my love," Torak said grimly.

Only then did Calleb realize that everything around him was still, as if the time had stopped. It was not a surprise for him since this was not the first time he experienced this.

"Take her to her room," Torak said.

However, Raine had reached the handle of the door, though she was not fast enough and Calleb held the door with his own body, he still didn't know what to do with the two people.

"Get out of my way!" Raine shouted at Calleb and the Beta raised both of his hands, but didn't move.

"Wait, wait…" he said in confusion. He was not sure, whose order he should follow now.

"Take her to her room!" Torak used his Alpha's tone on him and made the Beta lowered his head slightly in obedience.

"Raine, I am sorry," Calleb said regretfully, as he couldn't go against Torak's order. "Please, don't make this more difficult."

Raine looked at Calleb with hostility, she swatted his hand that was about to touch her. "I can walk by myself," she said, anger evident in her tone.

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

It took two hours for Lilac to get to the library safely, Jedrek had escorted her himself all the way to it. He didn't want Lilac to be suspicious, so he could only show his cooperation as much as possible.

"Torak really took this thing with him," Jedrek murmured in an agitated tone when he saw the stone which had been missing for so many centuries once again.

Beside him, Lilac chuckled when she heard that.

"What?" Jedrek turned his head to look at his mate, he didn't know what was very funny for her to laugh like that.

"The three of you are really funny, you are trying to annoy one another," Lilac said, shrugging her shoulders nonchalantly. "I don't have siblings, so I don't know how siblings should be interacting with each other, but seeing the three of you, it looks very interesting."

The corner of Jedrek's lips twitched. "You wouldn't say that if you were in my shoes," he said in a firm tone. He didn't think that he would choose Torak and Kace to be his brothers if he could, unfortunately, he was stuck with them.

Lilac laughed heartily when she watched Jedrek's expression. "I will go now," she said.

However, before Lilac could take a step onto the stone, Jedrek pulled her closer to him and hugged her tightly. "You know how it works?" he asked, his voice was barely a whisper in her ears.

"Yes, I know." Lilac nodded. She felt a little bit off with the way Jedrek hugging her now, it seemed like he was trying to hide something from her. Moreover, she could feel it through the mate bond that they shared. His beast was restless for some reason.

"I will be back," Lilac said, wanting to free herself from Jedrek, but the king just wanted to hug his queen for a little bit longer. "Jedrek?"

"I don't want to lose you," Jedrek said, his voice filled with sincerity. He buried his face in the crook of her shoulder, knowing that she would hate him the moment she found out what Jedrek was about to do.

It was inevitable that the guardian angel would know it sooner or later.

"You will not lose me," Lilac said softly, kissing his head. Was this what left Jedrek feeling restless?

But, Lilac knew perfectly what Jedrek was implying?and what laid ahead of them… they just didn't talk about this.

They knew the end of this horrible path, the purpose of the guardian angels' resurrection and the purpose of the Donovans. The three of them bound to protect the guardian angels in order to win the war.

Yet, Selene had never said something like happily ever after to them…

If they thought about it again, it was as if the happiness that they felt upon being bestowed with their own mates was something temporary only, just like a brief breather, after that, it was not exaggerating to think of this as their punishment being resumed when this war took their mates away.
