Chapter 847 - YOUR FATHER WILL NOT KILL ME?

"He is courting death," Torak grumbled.

Raine burst out laughing when she heard what Torak said, until her cheeks turned crimson and tears gathered at the corner of her eyes.

"Why are you laughing?" Torak crossed his arms in front of his chest and asked his mate sullenly.

"It is impossible that you are jealous of him, right?" Raine said when her laugh finally died down and she approached her grumpy mate. "You know him," she added and then tiptoed to peck his lips.

Torak pulled her closer by holding her nape and deepened their kiss, upon feeling the urgency of her mate, Raine giggled between his lips.

It took a while before Torak finally let her go and rested his forehead on hers. "I have patience beyond words for him, I guess." If it was someone else, Torak would have flipped and bloodshed was surely inevitable.

"I know, you love your Gamma too," Raine said.

But Torak released her and frowned. "That doesn't sound right," he said. "But, if kissing you became his habit, he can see how much I 'love' him."

Calleb didn't even greet him when he told Raine about his happy news. That guy became even more clueless and muddleheaded since he met his mate..

Jedrek lied down beside Lilac and pulled her body closer to feel her warmth. If there was one thing that he anticipated to end his hectic day, it was to lay down with her and cuddle his beautiful mate.

In his arms, Lilac snuggled closer to him and nuzzled against his neck as he wrapped his arms around her body.

Lilac felt safe and loved every time Jedrek hugged her and peppered her with small kisses whenever he thought she had fallen asleep. That was the most sweetest moment that Lilac couldn't help but feel gleeful every single time.

"How is it going with the centaur?" Lilac asked, she opened the conversation with her eyes still closed. She wanted Jedrek to tell her everything, since he had always kept everything for himself for a really long time.

She wanted Jedrek to know that she was there for him and would listen to every word that he would say.

"You don't have to worry about that," Jedrek kissed her temple again and caressed her back, to lull her to sleep.

It felt nice and Lilac started to yawn, but she wanted to know what his plan with the centaur, thus she forced herself to ask again.

"You will not kill innocent people, right? It was Chiron's mistake and it wouldn't be fair if you punish them all the same," Lilac spoke in soft voice, fighting the temptation to fell into a deep slumber.

"I won't, I gave them a choice," Jedrek replied. What he said was not entirely wrong, he just didn't break down the details about what choice he offered to those centaurs.

However, after knowing that Jedrek didn't make a decision impulsively, Lilac could relax a little bit and it only took a few seconds longer before her breathing became even, as she fell asleep again.

Jedrek didn't know whether Lilac would agree with what he had decided or not, but at the very least, in her current condition, she wouldn't be present on the day of execution to witness it all.

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

Calleb was pacing back and forth in the backyard, he looked exceptionally fresh and neat for someone, who only wanted to stroll around before sleep.

It was true when people say that when you are happy, it will radiate from within and make you look much different. Some people who met him in this beautiful evening, even had to turn their heads to give him a second glance.

Raphael and Lana were speechless when Calleb knocked on their door all of a sudden and decided to bother them with a few questions, since he was afraid that Torak would kill him if he dared to bother Raine at this hour.

It didn't last longer though, because Raphael kicked him out for disturbing his pregnant mate's resting time.

Yet, it couldn't even dampen his mood in the slightest.

Calleb paced back and forth in the yard, waiting for Rosie to come, sniffing the air, hoping he would catch her sweet scent, but it had been an hour, yet the girl for whom he had been waiting was still nowhere in his sight.

Did Bree lie to him? Or, did something happened to his mate? Calleb shook his head to clear his mind, his imagination running wild.

However, even after another thirty minutes passed but Rosie and Bree were nowhere to be seen, Calleb became anxious. He craned his neck and walked from side to side of the yard.

Only then, he caught a scent, but it didn't belong to Rosie, instead it was one of her twin brother. Calleb was not sure, whether it was Ian or Ethan.

Ian or Ethan came with Bree.

"Calleb!" Bree greeted Calleb happily and approached him. "Are you waiting for Rosie?" she asked.

The girl's question put him in a tight spot, since Ian or Ethan also came near him, while holding a big plate in his hand, seemingly it was the food that he got from the kitchen for their dinner.

"Well, you said, you will come with Rosie to get something from the kitchen," Calleb replied awkwardly.

"Yes, but that thing is too heavy, thus uncle Sterling told him to come and get it instead," Bree said innocently. She did nothing wrong, the girl just wanted to help Calleb. It was the Gamma, who was not lucky enough.

In an instant, Calleb's heart dropped. His expression turned slightly dark as disappointment emanated from his body.

"Bree, let's go back, or we will be late for dinner," Rosie's twin said to the little girl and tapped her small shoulder.

"Okay," Bree said happily, jumping up and down upon hearing the word dinner. "Bye Calleb." She waved her hand at him.

"Bye," Calleb said in a dull voice.

But then, Rosie's brother turned around and spoke, "If you haven't had your dinner yet, you can come and join us."

"Really?" Calleb raised his head and looked at him in anticipation. "Your father will not kill me?"
