Chapter 688 - THE SAME AFFECTION

The night wind caressed her skin, but the bonfire in front of Raine managed to keep her warm, especially with Torak beside her.

"I want to go there?" Torak frowned, "where to?"

Raine crept closer and Torak put his arm around his shoulder to make his mate feel safe. They were surrounded by his people and Serefina was there too, so there was nothing to worry about, yet Torak still felt protective over her.

They had left the village three days ago and now Serefina led them to mountain Uzu. The witch said, it was the place where she met with Kace in this realm.

In spite of the fact, she couldn't guarantee Kace would go to the place where he almost lost his mate, but it was better than they had to roam around in this foreign land and not knowing where to go.

"I don't know, I have been hearing those words since we left the village.. like a whisper.. like someone was talking to the wind.. like she was talking to me.." Raine lost in her own thought, her eyes enshrouded by curiosity.

"Raine." Torak called out her name before Raine's mind could stray further. "What is it? What are you thinking?" concern was apparent in the lycan's eyes upon seeing her.

"Ah?" Raine blinked her eyes and shook her head groggily. "No, I don't think about anything. Just.."

It needed four days to reach Uzu mountain from the village, so they assumed tomorrow they would reach the place and if they still couldn't find Kace, they needed another plan.

"Just?" Torak pressed.

"I just felt like.. something urges me to go.." Raine tilted her head and found Torak's expression, in an instant she knew that she had made her mate worried. "It could mean that we are heading to the right direction, right?" she stretched her hand and caressed Torak's face, soothing her mate with her touch.

Torak leaned over to her touch, yet he mind- linked Calleb. [Tell Serefina to meet me.]

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

"What happened to the castle?" Lyrus inquired about the recent event. The Beta was completely surprised when he learned the castle was no more and all the citizens had moved to the southern region.

"What happened with you when I told you to return right away?" Jedrek asked in cold tone that could make Lyrus grimaced, forgetting his initial shock.

When his mission to come to Torak's territory had done, Lyrus should comeback immediately and gave his report to Jedrek, yet the Beta didn't return and it was only his men, who reported to him about what had happened.

"My apologize, your Majesty." Lyrus lowered his head, knowing his mistake. "However, I am back with important news for you to know."

Lyrus went straight to Jedrek's chamber once he arrived in this castle, ignoring the warning that the other generals gave to him about their King didn't want to be disturbed at the moment.

However, here Lyrus was, standing under the furious glare of his King.

"You have to wish this is important enough for me to consider not punishing you." Jedrek sat down on his chair while his Beta was still afraid to raise his head.

Jedrek was rarely having an outburst when he was angry, but the air around him would change, the atmosphere became thick and his dominance aura was suffocating. Moreover, to the people who could sense it through the mind- link.

Lyrus gritted his teeth when he raised his head to speak. "Torak has a mate," The Beta said it with knitted brows. "I know that this sounds hard to believe, but I watched the way he saw the girl.. it was different and the girl is the guardian angel."

The Beta kept explaining about how he could come to this conclusion. In his mind the Donovans were the cursed Lycanthropes who wouldn't get their own mate, punished by the moon goddess herself because of the abomination that they had committed.

But, in the end, Lyrus realized one thing; Jedrek didn't give the respond that he expected. The Alpha King was sitting there calmly, as if he was waiting for Lyrus to finish his nonsensical prattle.

"You don't believe me," Lyrus concluded. However, his accusation didn't seem right, thus he changed it. "You had known about this. You know that Torak had a mate."

"I know." Jedrek responded.

"The guardian angel is his mate?" Lyrus frowned. "How about the curse? How could the guardian angel be his mate?"

There was silent that fell inside that chamber when Jedrek didn't explain about the curse that was no longer valid for them, but somehow, Lyrus managed to put the pieces together.

There would be three guardian angels. There were three Donovans. The curses. The mates.

And also the way Jedrek insisted to kill the guardian angel, yet he kept the guardian angel, who came straight to his door. He was keeping her safe. Even after Tordoff's attempt to bring the guardian angel away, Jedrek forgave him. Both of them.

Moreover, he knew Maximus was away to look for Kace, but it was not only to catch him, but also the guardian angel, who was with the younger Donovan. Why Kace cared about the guardian angel?

Lyrus was not aware about this before, but when he thought about this again, though it was slightly different from the way Torak displayed his affection toward his guardian angel, but it seemed Lyrus could see the way Jedrek was staring at Lilac, those eyes filled with the complexity, yet the same affection.

"Is that possible?" Lyrus's eyes widened with surprised. No, he was flabbergasted with this revelation. "The guardian angels are the Donovans' mates? The curse had been lifted?"

Jedrek's silence confirmed Lyrus's statement. However, it was still hard to believe.

"Is that true?" The Beta still needed for his Alpha to say it.

However, instead of answering him, Jedrek asked another question. "What else the information that you got? Where is Torak now?"

"Torak is with Serefina to find Kace in the northern coven," Lyrus answered.
