Chapter 1061: Important thing that the guardian angels should discuss

Kace was worn out because of the side effects of the battle with the humans, so it was almost impossible to wake him up at this moment.

Thus, Hope thought of seeing Calleb later when the sun hit the horizon.

However, as she almost slip into a deep slumber, the howling pain, slowly but eventually stopped. As if the beast had finally calmed down...

Or, maybe it was only Hope's illusion?

The same thing was noticed by Lilac, she was also awaken by the sound of the sorrowful howling that rang through the silent night.

She forced herself to stay awake as she wanted to check what actually was going on, though she knew where that sound was coming from.

Calleb's beast was still mourning over the loss of his mate and since nothing could be done to bring Rossie back, they didn't know until when this would continue.

Lilac put away the blanket from her body and got off the bed, but as soon as her feet touched the ground, she felt a wave of dizziness hit her and had to hold onto the edge of the bed to steady herself.

When Lilac felt that she was fine enough to walk, she headed for the door. Despite her utterly exhausted current self, she still wanted to make sure that Calleb was fine.

However, once she was outside, she was greeted with the sight of Jedrek, who was leaning his back against the wooden wall of the tent, sleeping soundly.

Almost instantly, Lilac stopped walking and stood there in complete silence. She didn't expect Jedrek would follow her and choose to stay near her, instead of in his own tent.

Lilac crouched down and stared at the king, who was in deep sleep. He must be very exhausted after the long battle, but he chose to crash down for a rest here.

If this was any other day, Lilac would be touched by his action. No. She was indeed touched by whatever he did for her, but there was this feeling that still couldn't let her feel it freely.

Something was disturbing the guardian angel which forced her to guard her heart and didn't let what Jedrek did now bother her again, though it was a hard thing to do.

But, Lilac didn't feel like she was ready to deal with it.

However, she couldn't help but stretch out her hand to touch Jedrek's hair and traced his jaw line with the tip of her fingers.

"What should I do with you?" she whispered and got no answer in return.

Lilac then got up and returned to her tent only to come back with a blanket in her arms, which she tucked around Jedrek to keep him warm.

Despite everything that was happening, she didn't wish for Jedrek to suffer even more than this. And this feeling was very tiring.

This love that Lilac had for Jedrek was exhausting...

Meanwhile, in afar away place of this fortress, finally the roars of the howling beast, lessened and the silence returned gradually.

The moment the sun hit the horizon, its warmth woke Jedrek up and he found the blanket that Lilac put around him. The blanket was very soft to his touch, just like Lilac's heart.

However, he crushed it with his own hands, but even so, the guardian angel still cared for him...

Jedrek stood up and entered the tent, yet he found no one inside. Lilac was gone.

And the room was empty, just like his heart. He didn't know what got into him, but he felt like crying to notice such emptiness.

The king clutched to the soft blanket in his arms and fell to his knees, knowing how much pain he had caused for his mate.

The beast inside him howled painfully, as it missed his other soul so badly.

If the mate bond was snapped, then the feeling would be as severe as losing one's mate and Jedrek felt like he was now going in that very direction with the recent developings between him and Lilac.

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

They needed four days to rearrange everything and make sure that each and every single shifter, magician and the other supernatural creatures were in shape for what was coming to get them, since the battle had not ended yet.

Given how precious the time is, laxing for even a single moment would be considered one step closer to their failure. After all, there were still three devils out there that were out to wreck some havoc.

And for now, the only information that they got from their scout was; there was strange movement in the south east.

The humans were behaving rather weirdly. Just like crazed people. They became more aggressive and unleashed riots everywhere.

An army of forces were dispatched, butnot to calm the situation, they headed toward their place along with the crazed humans.

This time, they were more prepared and ready to wipe them out. Destroy this place for good.

That would have happened if it was not for the magicians, who had dispelled more than a dozen of jet fighters, carrying some massive destructive ammo, before they could reach this place and nullified their attempts of turning them into nothing but dust.

However, that couldn't last for long either, because they almost reached their wits end. They should also conjure up a huge move to end all of this once and for all.

Because the shifters couldn't afford to fight yet another long battle that even included killing humans, and they were at least thrice in number compared to the last time the Donovan brothers had wiped out.

And as for the guardian angels...

Because Hope had to restrain three devils for days now, she always looked exhausted and out of energy, until the third day, she couldn't even get out of the tent and could only stay in bed.

This worried Kace greatly and he didn't want to budge from his spot, if it was not for the talk with Torak and Jedrek which convinced him that Lilac and Raine needed to talk to her alone.

Torak didn't know what Raine wanted to tell Hope that she even had to keep it a secret from them, but he trusted her nonetheless.

There must be something very important that only the guardian angels could understand.
