novelWHEN ALL OF THIS OVER
| ← Ch.0932 | Ch.0934 → |
As it turned out, Lord Bayle wanted to take baby Eddard for his own advantage, since there was a possibility for the baby to inherit his mother's power, he wanted Eddard's life to be traded with his late mate's life.
His mate died in a rogue attack at his place and as the dragon shifter was tied down by their vow and it needed a great effort to break it like Reynold's case, some of them just simply couldn't pull it through.
Therefore, the moment Lord Bayle knew about Lana's origin, he thought about using baby Eddard.
His reason was understandable, but there was no way Torak and Raine would tolerate someone who had been vying for baby Eddard's life.
Therefore, to pay for what he did, Raine didn't return his original state to him and let the lycan warriors bring him away, to be locked up in one of the rooms inside this building after they reversed the vow.
And Torak chose Bayle's first son to lead the fire dragon shifters.
There was also a risk to let his son take the command, but they promised after everything ended and they won the war, they would give back his father before turning him into his original state.
For now, that promise was sufficient to tame the fire dragon shifters, but of course, Torak would fix his eyes close on him, just in case he had something up his sleeves.
Not only that, because of Raphael's untimely demise, the Beta's position was vacant, it was only normal for Calleb to take his position, while Jack was promoted to be a Gamma now.
"Should I congratulate you?" Raine came inside the nursery room where she saw Calleb staring at baby Eddard, who was now sleeping soundly in his crib.
"Don't, please! I don't feel that it was something worthy of getting congratulated, " Calleb said sorrowfully.
"I feel the same, " Raine said, as she crouched down and looked at baby Eddard closely now."He will be all right now, we will not let any harm come to him. When everything is ended, I hope he can live a beautiful life with all of you."
"What are you talking about?" Calleb tousled Raine's hair."You will be a part of his life too."
However, she only let a soft smile spread on her lips in response, as her eyes turned sadder... as if she knew something that others didn't, yet Calleb missed that and didn't think much about it.
"Nobody knows what would happen..." Raine murmured."Everything is unpredictable now and I just want to be sure that he will not feel alone even though Raphael and Lana are not here to watch him grow up."
"Nothing will happen, we will win the war and everything will be okay once again." That was what everyone's wish and Raine didn't want to argue with him this time.

"I hope so, " Raine agreed softly."Rossie must be in so much pain after all the hardsh. i. p. s that she had been through."
"She is a strong girl, she will cope with her sadness in no time and moreover, Sterling is recovering under Lidya's care. They will reunite soon." Calleb took a chair and offered it to Raine, so that she wouldn't need to strain her legs.
"What about you?" Raine looked at Calleb again."You still can't feel your beast?"
Calleb shook his head, even though he felt much better, but knowing that he couldn't connect himself to his beast was slightly worrying to him. In that case, he would be a burden in the upcoming war.
"I had a talk with Jedrek, as he also suffered the same thing, but he said it was Serefina who cured him, " Calleb said."At first, he thought biting his mark on Lilac will cure him since she is a guardian angel, but I don't think I can bite any guardian angel."
Calleb glanced at Raine, who was laughing softly upon hearing his lame jokes."You can gladly choose whoever you want to face; Torak, Jedrek or Kace. See if it will work on you."
The Beta shook his head."No thanks, I will lose my head before I can feel my inner beast."
==============
Lilac woke up when she felt Jedrek's fingers combing her hair gently. Her long eyelashes fluttered, as she opened her eyes to find her mate's expression full of grief.
"Someone is dying?" Lilac tried to crack the dark atmosphere around them. She felt a lot better now, it meant the nightmare had ended."Why did you make that kind of face?"
"My heart is aching to see you in pain, " Jedrek confessed softly.
Hearing those words, a soft smile spread on her lips as she stretched out her hand and caressed his hair."I don't know that you can talk sweet things."
"There is nothing sweet in my words, " Jedrek frowned. He played with her hair between his fingers and murmured, "Your hair color has returned."
"Hm, " Lilac hummed."It means I am fine now."
Jedrek stared deeply into her eyes, but he didn't move to let her go, the king even shut the mind- link between him and Torak, so he could stay a little bit longer with her.
He knew it was selfish of him to let Torak handle a lot of things on his behalf, for he wanted to stay with Lilac, but he didn't feel bad for that.
"Shouldn't we get started on our journey now?" However, contradicting her own words, the guardian angle nuzzled against Jedrek's neck and buried her face in the crook of his shoulder.
Lilac just wanted to relish this moment with him for a few more seconds, because she knew, the moment they arrived at Rieka, all of their nightmares would restart again.
Rieka was the place where the first war took place and the devils dramatically chose the same exact place like before.
"When all of this is over, I want to show you the place that I'm most fond of, " Jedrek whispered.
"Sure, " Lilac said, but there was uncertainty in her eyes."When all of this is over..." she didn't finish her sentence.
