"I am sorry..." Jedrek said in a voice like a whisper, while caressing Lilac's face, before he approached Serefina.
And, Lilac could only stare with gloomy eyes, how Jedrek hugged Serefina's body which was already very weak and bleeding profusely, surrounded by Hope, who was crying until her shoulders trembled and her breathing turned ragged, and also Lidya, who kept trying to treat her.
It was just that, Serefina shook her head weakly at Lidya, asking her to stop. Because they knew, anyone who saw this would have known that there was no hope for Serefina with her injuries and a body condition like that.
And seeing this, made Hope cry even louder, she held Serefina's hand tightly, while shedding tears.
Lilac knew how close the witch was to Hope and how much Serefina meant to her.
And even when she saw all of this, how they were crying over the witch and how Jedrek hugged her so carefully as if they were facing the end of the world, Lilac could not find the feeling of hatred in herself for the two of them.
Lilac knew that she shouldn't feel like some antagonist in the story, but she felt that way in Jedrek and Serefina's love story. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘄e𝙗novel - 🅽🅽novel
Somehow they were silent and shared tears, without actually saying a word, until Serefina held out her hand to Lilac, asking her to come closer.
Now, four pairs of eyes stared at Lilac and made her feel uneasy, until Jedrek spoke softly and in a hoarse voice."Come here."
Lilac then turned her attention to her mate and stared at him in pain.
Being around them was the last thing Lilac could ever want. She didn't hate the two of them, but that didn't mean her own feelings weren't hurt and she hated herself for not being able to put her ego aside for a moment.
Lilac felt conflicted.
She wanted to refuse, but there was something in Jedrek's eyes that made her body move closer to the two of them.
Lilac did not want to feel anything about this situation, but somehow she just felt sorry for herself and the more she felt like that, the more she hated herself.
After the distance was close enough, Lidya shifted and gave her place beside Serefina to Lilac, who walked as if she had lost her soul, or maybe she did.
Lilac sat there with her face down, but then she could feel Serefina's hand trembling and touch her cheek. Wiping her tears.
Even Lilac herself didn't realize since when she started crying, or what the particular reason that left her crying.
All she knew was, her tears were now falling onto her lap and she could no longer look at Serefina's or Jedrek's faces.
Lilac felt really bad.
And in the distance, the blazing blue flames that smeared the red sky, gradually dimmed and the rest of the battlefield became calmer and more stable.
==============
Raine stared at the debris scattered around her, the bodies of beings from hell that had turned to dust as the flames of the two firebird became fainter and fainter.
"Is it over?" Kace whispered to Raine beside him in a low voice.
"No, " Raine answered softly and linked her hand with Torak."Not yet."
Yes, there were still three devils out there that they have to take care of and what they need now was for Hope to use her strength to the fullest and get hold of the rest of the devils.
And everything would return to normal.
It was just that, it was not as easy as one could imagine. No one knew how many more lives would be lost, for that matter either.
It was then, Kace groaned softly and this caught both Torak and Raine's attention.
"What is wrong?" Raine asked softly.
Kace then shook his head and clutched his chest, as if he was in pain. Then the Lycan stared in to the distance."Hope, " he said slowly.
Through the bond, Kace was able to sense a deep sense of sadness that his mate was feeling along with an uncomfortable feeling, which he could not decipher.
==============
Hope saw Kace, in his white beast form, running toward her very fast. Behind Kace, Hope could also see Raine and Torak in his white beast form as well, followed by the survived witches and other supernatural beings.
They marched toward where they were, so it was safe to assume that they were fine for now. The battle was over, right?
Hope immediately stood up, left Serefina's side and ran toward her mate, she needed to be near Kace, because seeing Serefina's current condition was something too hard for Hope to face alone.
As their distance grew closer, Kace shifted back into his human form so he could immediately embrace his mate.
Meanwhile, Hope immediately pounced into Kace's chest and cried as hard as she could until her body trembled and her words became unclear.
"What happened?" Kace asked worriedly, but Hope couldn't answer. However, he didn't need that answer when he saw for himself what had made Hope cry like this.
Not far from them, in Jedrek's arms, was Serefina.
Kace's heart started beating faster as he saw the blood continued to soak the witch's body and bad thoughts starting to haunt his head.
No way, right?
There was no way that they have to lose Serefina too...
Meanwhile, Raine and Torak started walking over to them and began to understand what was going on there.
For that moment, the three people sitting there remained silent, not sharing any words, while other people were watching from a place not too far away, as if they didn't want to disturb their time.
Serefina was still holding Lilac's hand and the guardian angel was still looking down, not wanting to look directly into the witch's eyes.
She was afraid that her current feelings would be clearly visible in her eyes.
However, Serefina didn't need that, because she then invaded Lilac's mind and started talking to her.
