[I know, ] Jedrek replied to her immediately. [I can already see them now, they are here. ]
Lilac felt her chest tighten with fear, despite her acting tough and assured earlier, she couldn't help but worry about her mate and Jedrek could feel it through the bond that they shared.
[Take care of the things there, I will handle the situation here, ] Jedrek said calmly. He didn't want to stress his mate more than this.
[Please be safe...]
Please be safe...
Lilac whispered in her heart, just like she was chanting a spell...
==============
Jedrek watched as the fire dragon beasts burned everything down to the ground, not only the creatures from hell, but everything... literally everything...
"Alpha... we need to back off!" Jack, Torak's Gamma, tried to talk to Jedrek, as the latter was still in a daze after hearing Lilac's voice.
He had an urge to see her. How long had it been since the last time they talked to each other? However, that was only his impulsiveness and he knew better than anything that more important things have to betaken care of first.
Jedrek glanced over his shoulder at the building behind him, it seemed like a school building, which still stood solidly.
"Bring all the people inside there, " Jedrek said impassively.
"But, we are supposed to run away from this place, " Jack saw the dragon beasts that were flying in the sky, breathing fire. If they didn't run as far as they could, surely they would be burned into ashes. Not even a concrete building could protect them now.
However, Jedrek didn't listen to him and repeated his order."Bring all the people inside."
Theo, who was standing next to Jack, tugged his fellow lycan and nodded to the building that was pointed by Jedrek.
[Just follow his order, ] Theo mind- linked him.
Jack was about to protest, but he swallowed it and ran toward the other lycanthropes, relying what Jedrek had ordered him and now the remaining lycan warriors and the Alphas, who survived until now rushed toward the building, looking for a shelter.
Meanwhile, Jedrek stood right in front of the gate and watched with cold eyes when one of the dragon beasts noticed him and flew straight toward him, breathing fire.
From the way the dragon beast looked at Jedrek, the king new it was the new dragon lord, Theseus and he was about to set him on fire, yet the lycan didn't budge.
==============
Today was the first day of the new semester for Raine and she just arrived at her school when she saw a commotion.
"What happened?" Raine asked Kai, who was walking beside her.
"You don't know? Torak Donovan is here." Kai ate his chicken wrap and looked at Raine, munching as he continued talking."Donovan company will open their new branch here and Torak Donovan had been in this city for more than two months, now he will be the guest of honor to give an opening speech for our new semester. All the lecturers were going crazy about this."
There... that strange feeling hit Raine yet again when she heard that certain name.
She felt fl. u. s. tered and agitated at the same time.
While walking to their classroom, Raine was listening to Kai chatter about how he was excited to see Torak Donovan in person and how he spent his holiday, but for some reason, Raine turned to a different corridor.
"Raine, where are you going?" Kai followed her and thought that the girl wanted to buy something to eat, since they were now walking in the direction of the canteen.
But, Raine stopped walking when she saw him.
This was the same person, who often appeared with Torak, his personal assistant with the name Raphael Lockwood. Of course Raine knew about him, since she had been spending days collecting information on Torak.
Raphael was talking to one of the lecturers when they walked passed Raine.
Kai nodded his head politely to greet the two people, but Raine stood there, dumbstruck when Raphael and her eyes met for two seconds.
And when they had walked away, Kai turned around to face Raine, but he realized something."Raine, why are you crying?!" he was hysterical.
"Huh?" Raine didn't know that she was crying, yet when her fingers touched her cheeks, she could feel the moisture of her tears.
"What happened? Something's bothering you?" Kai bombarded her with questions, but Raine didn't say anything.
How could she know why she was crying? She just felt like crying when she saw Raphael...
==============
Lilac arrived at Raine's room, which was now turned upside down, as if it had been caught in fire, which was actually true, since Belinda and the fire dragon shifters were engaged in a fight earlier.
Behind her, Sebastian, Stephan and Sybil followed closely.
The first thing they saw was Belinda, who was holding Purple in her arms and Torak, who knelt down beside them, while Kace sat down, grabbing his hair in an attempt to calm himself down.
However, Lilac could see that their eyes had turned bright red, the indication that their beasts were livid and they were ready to lash out.
One Donovan with red eyes was not a good sign, not to mention there were two now. All of a sudden, every sound was nullified, even the sound of their footsteps could no longer be heard and the room fell into dead silence.
Lilac's figure appeared on the doorstep and the moment Torak and Kace realized her presence, they directed their attention toward her.
On the other hand, Lilac didn't falter at all, she held their gaze that filled with wrath bravely, because she knew the hostility was not for her.
It was understandable, the devils had taken their mates and the situation was not in their favor now, it was already good enough that they didn't go feral at a time like this.
"What is it?" Lilac approached them and her attention shifted to the fae in the witch's arms and a soft gasp escaped her lips when she noticed her burned back."What happened to her?"
However, instead of replying to her question, Torak looked at Stephan and spoke, "come here."
