Chapter 661 - ABOMINATION

"Furious?" Lilac frowned. What would it be this time?

"I can feel it through the mind-link." Tordoff took a deep breath. She could feel that he was now breathing unusually.

"Angry because of the secret room?" She was getting curious, and eager to find out about what was the matter with Jedrek this time.

"I don't know. Maybe." Tordoff shook his head. "It could also be because he lost the witch," he guessed. To think about it again, it was possible since there was this ambiguous relationship between him and that witch.

"He must be feeling really awful right now.." Lilac sneered. She pitied the witch the most. What if Jedrek really had done something terrible to that witch? Her pity for her lessened, she snapped herself out of it when the pounding in her head felt like it could kill her.

The headache hammered inside Lilac's head, and on top of that, the pain in her broken left arm was getting worse.

"I can't just stay. I have to leave to find out what happened." Tordoff stood up. He looked at Lilac once more. "I will ask someone to bring food for you." He sounded sorry. Somehow, he felt bad about leaving her alone there. But on the other hand, he really had to leave.

Hearing what he just said about food and all, made her feel like it was the moment for a sarcastic comment. She really was contemplating on saying something about it, because how it deserved one. Food? Of all things, he was concerned about my food intake?—she thought. In fact, food was at the bottom list of all things that she needed now.

However, she thought about how considerate Tordoff had been to her, how nice of him to be such company through the night, she couldn't say something hurtful to him. Instead "Thank you," Lilac mumbled softly. Then, she heard Tordoff's footsteps echo, and felt them getting further away from the dungeon.

She heard the sound of metal clunk, a door was being opened, and then closed. The guardian angel was once more alone in this dreary room. Lilac moved her hand. She touched her forehead, and felt her skin was burning under her palm. She got a fever.

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

When Tordoff arrived at the King's chamber, there was Sebastian, Kyle, Rowan, and Lyrus. They were standing in front of the door. A thundering roar echoed in the hallway from the other side of that door, inside the room. The Alpha king was in rage.

"What is going on here?" Tordoff asked Lyrus, his brows wrinkled when he received a wave of agony from the Alpha king's fury state. Meanwhile, the king was brutalizing everything that he could destroy inside his chamber.

"I'm wondering the same thing." Lyrus shook his head helplessly. Nobody had any idea of what was the cause of it. What's gotten into the Alpha king's mind to be in this state of mind?

"Did he perhaps receive any news about Serefina?" Rowan tried to guess it. The king would only be on the warpath like this, if he heard any news about that witch, Serefina. However, it had been a long time since they heard anything related to her. So, what could it be now?

"No." Lyrus shook his head again.

"Where is Maximus?" Sebastian looked around and didn't find the first general. "He should be here to talk to him."

Lyrus narrowed his eyes when he heard that. He was Jedrek's official Beta. But everybody always thought of Maximus as the one who could manage to calm the Alpha king down whenever he got into a state like his current situation.

This was ridiculous!

"Alpha gave an order to him," Tordoff replied, his face tainted with an awful emotion that didn't belong to him.

"What about Violet? Where is she?" Sebastian asked Tordoff.

"Don't you know about her wrongdoing? Haven't heard about the thing she did? The crime that she committed?" Lyrus gave Sebastian an unpleasant look. "I'm pretty sure, she's dead now."

Seeing the tension between Lyrus and Sebastian, Rowan stepped forward to provide the general some information that he missed. By the time Rowan was done with his explanation about the things that happened in the castle during Sebastian's absence, suddenly the bedroom door opened. That door swung so hard that it almost fell off its hinges.

The four generals and the Beta lowered their heads submissively. They moved back when Jedrek stormed off to the library. Anger still lingered in him, all the generals felt that. Stepped into the library, the Alpha king slammed the door shut, it felt like the castle was shaking when he did that.

Once the door shut, Jedrek headed straight towards the built-in sliding door, the secret entrance. Knowing that nobody would dare to even think about coming in and check on him inside the library, he made his way effortlessly to the dark tunnel without being bothered to close the sliding door behind him. He rushed straight to the wooden door at the end of that tunnel.

"JANUS!"

Jedrek roared and found his father was standing in the same spot where he stood the last time he came.

"What is it my son?" Janus looked at his son with arrogance in his eyes. He didn't even try to conceal the disdain look in the way he was staring at him.

"This is over!" Jedrek said grimly. He was fighting his beast that had been objecting the decision that he made on a whim.

Janus didn't give the response that Jedrek expected. Instead, he tilted his head while folding his hand behind his back, and said calmly, "You will never have the courage to do that, son."

"Are you challenging me now?!" Jedrek snarled at Janus for his deviant answer. The Alpha blood in him demanded for the man to submit, and bow down. However, it wasn't an easy thing to subdue the former Alpha, though he was long dead.

"Have you forgotten? You had killed me, son!" Janus stared back at him, and gave his son a flash of mocking smile. "What do you think you can do now?" he raised his eyes.

Jedrek almost shifted into his beast, the white fur sprouted on the surface of his skin, and a set of his talons came out.

"Or perhaps, do you want to kill your mother too?" Janus sneered. "Like I told before, you will never be able to bring yourself to do that. What would Torak and Kace think about you, if words come out? Especially since you have been hunting down Kace and his mate." Janus laughed, as though what he just said was a good joke.

Jedrek ignored him, it was a pointless argumentation anyway. It didn't deserve his precious time. He strode straight to the same room where his mother had been lying all this time. She had been unconscious for centuries by now.

The Alpha King didn't bring anything, but his sharp talon would definitely be sufficient to slit anyone's throat that he wanted. Tear anyone limb to limb. With that look in his face, he was filled with determination. Jedrek entered that room unhesitantly under Janus's hard gaze. He shouted behind his son's back before he slammed the door in his face.

"YOU WILL NEVER DO THAT! YOU ABOMINABLE SON! I CURSE YOU IF YOU DO THAT!"

The scream from Janus didn't stop Jedrek from approaching his mother.

"Leave!" Jedrek shouted to the special servant.

It wasn't Jedrek's voice that made her leave, but the feeling of being in danger that made her scamper away.
