Chapter 719 - THEY ARE FIGHTING

"What are you doing?" Hope yawned when she found Raphael was standing alone at the corridor, staring at the door.

"Huh?" Raphael was surprised, his expression was akin to someone who was caught red- handed when they stole something. "No. Nothing." He said absentmindedly. "Whose room is this?" Raphael asked.

Hope woke up because she felt thirsty and found Raphael was staring at Lana's bedroom. "Lana's room, the werewolf girl who have been taking care of me," she said and yawned again. "She is a very nice girl and I miss her, but Serefina often send her away to do something."

"You should go back to your room," Raphael smiled softly, though Hope's personality was a little bit different from Raine, but they both have something in common, that was; their eyes would sparkle whenever they talk about the person they liked.

"I will.." Hope yawned again and walked away. "Good night Raphael.."

"Good night Hope.." Raphael smiled softly, watching as the girl entered her room. "Lana.." He said her name softly.

He didn't know what brought her here, but the moment he came into this house, this faint scent had put him restless.

His beast had been clawing on the edge of his mind.. Raphael knew, this could only mean one thing...

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

"Where are you going?" Warlock grabbed Lilac's hand just in time when she walked past him, but Tordoff held his hand and glared at the other general.

"Let her go," Tordoff said grimly. He didn't like it when another person touched her.

Warlock narrowed his eyes when he felt the hostility from Tordoff. "You don't have a say in this matter. She shouldn't step out from her room. That is a direct order from the King," he hissed viciously.

"But, I don't think he will please to know you are hurting his mate," the word 'mate' came out from Tordoff lips sounded bitter.

"Do you see I am hurting her? I said; she should stay inside her room." Warlock took a step forward, so both of the general could stand face to face with each other.

"Okay. Enough with this!" Lilac snapped, she was annoyed with the two lycan. "You, let him go," she said to Tordoff. "And you, let go of my hand." She glared at Warlock.

However, no one listened to her order and they were still in that position for another seconds until Lilac shouted at them again.

"Now!" She waved her free hand and branches from the nearby tree moved in her command, it rough bark wrapped around Tordoff and Warlock's h.i.p.s. "Or, I will throw both of you out of my way!"

Seeing the branches that coiled around their waist, Tordoff and Warlock finally relented and released each other hand.

"Tordoff, tell me where Jedrek and Maximus are." Lilac looked at Tordoff.

"Luna, you can't go there. I have an order to make you stay inside the room, for tonight." Warlock walked ahead and stood in front of Lilac to prevent her from walking away. "The king will have my head if I don't follow his order."

Lilac looked at Warlock in annoyance. "If that's what you're worried about.." She moved her hand and the branches from the tree nearby hit Warlock unexpectedly and pressed him against the hard wall behind him. "Jedrek should know that sending one of his general will never be enough to stop me," Lilac said sternly.

On the other hand, Warlock groaned as he couldn't move a finger from the branches that wrapped his body and mouth, let alone to shift or talk, because every tiny movement that he made, caused the branches pressed him even tighter.

Warlock could only follow Lilac and Tordoff with his eyes.

Whatever would happen between Jedrek and Maximus wouldn't be good if the king asked all of them to stay away from the backyard.

Tordoff was running beside Lilac when he suddenly stopped.

"Why?" Lilac looked around and found nothing, then she shifted back her attention on him. "What happened?"

"Are you really the king's mate?" Tordoff asked, his brows scrunched up and he stared deeply into Lilac's eyes.

On the other hand, Lilac didn't know why Tordoff was talking about this all of sudden. This was not the right time, yet she answered him anyway. "Yes, I am his mate."

"But Donovan is cursed to not having mate in his entire existence. I don't get it." Tordoff frowned. That was what Tordoff believed. Most of the people believed, just like how they believed that the guardian angel was the weakest creature in the whole realm, which had no other use unless to sap their power to increase their strength.

Lilac shrugged her shoulder and patted his upper arm. "It is very simple; the moon goddess had lifted the curse and gave them mate. You know about the prophecy, right?" she asked, yet Tordoff didn't answer her. "I know you know that. The resurrection of guardian angel was not only a sign about the upcoming war between the devil and the lycanthropes once again, but also as a token of gratitude for the Donovan for the first war that they had won."

"By giving you as their mate?" Tordoff couldn't hold back the derision in his tone. "You don't know the King," he said in low voice, but Lilac could hear him anyway.

historical

"You don't know him either," Lilac responded. It was true that she still couldn't understand Jedrek completely, but she was sure, she knew about him more than what Tordoff knew.

Todoff shook his head. "I am sorry, I don't mean to offend you." He wanted to say that he had seen what Jedrek had done, especially when it came to his affair. To put it simply, he was not a faithful man, but apparently this was a bad time to talk all of that.

"No, it's all right.." Lilac sighed deeply and warmed up to him. "Let's go, I need to find him."

Reluctantly, Tordoff led the way, but only two steps and Lilac stopped walking.

Her face scrunched up as she spoke softly. "They are fighting."
