But, realization soon gripped his heart in a bone crushing agonizing pain.
Something told him to run away from that place right now, but a part of him, just wanted to stare at the baby for eternity.
Yet, when he reached his hand out to touch the baby's black soft hair, he realized that she was no longer breathing.
The baby was dead.
And the worst nightmare that struck him dumbfounded was the fact that the baby was none other than Lilac. 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝑒w𝒆𝗯𝙣ov𝐞l - 🅽🅽novel
Jedrek could smell her faint scent.
Lilac, as a baby had died and all of this happened because of an order that he gave to Maximus.
His general managed to kill her and here Jedrek was; standing right in front of the biggest mistake that he had ever made in his life.
The very first mistake that managed to led him to do several other.
But, what is this? What was he seeing now? They shouldn't be here. He shouldn't be here. Lilac wouldn't die, she was alive, because the moon goddess saved her.
Jedrek was with Lilac to find the book, but why was he here, alone? Where was Lilac?
The king looked around him and found nothing, but the people who were grieving in deep sorrow upon losing the baby.
And the sadness that hit Jedrek was a hundred times worse than those of the people here. He had to grab the edge of the baby crib, so he wouldn't lose his footing.
This was not true.
No, it was true in some way, but this was something that had happened in the past and what they were here to search now has nothing to with this.
Jedrek shut his eyes tightly and scrunched his brows, as he tried to remember the last place that he was together with Lilac. This must have something to do with the dark magic and the warning that his mate gave him before they entered this place.
This was not a real event in his current time, this was only a fragment of memory from the past. If Jedrek could focus and free himself from this fatamorgana, then he would be fine.
But, the feeling of losing his mate was very real, because he could feel his heart being shredded into million pieces and this successfully kept him from thinking straight.
The beautiful baby was dead and he was the main reason why she wasn't breathing now.
His mate was dead. He killed her with his own hands by giving that ruthless order to Maximus.
What kind of monster was he to kill a baby? His other half? His soulmate?
Someone like him should be six feet under the ground for what he had done.
The regret and sorrow that crushed him grew even worse along with the soft sobbing sounds of the mother of the baby. Lilac's mother.
If Lilac was not killed then, she would have grew up in a loving family that loved her and got whatever she deserved as a young girl. A warm family, lovely parents, or maybe adorable siblings...
But, with a single order, Jedrek took those things away from Lilac.
How could he do that to his own mate?
Jedrek shook his head vigorously. He had to get out of this place, before his own feelings driven him to his death, but how should he escape this? How to ran away from one's past?
Jedrek's grip on the crib tightened. He growled deeply when the pain was almost unbearable and he didn't know what to do to lessen this pain.
The more he breathed the more painful it became, as the sound of the people crying around him almost drove him crazy.
The mother lost her baby and the lycan lost his mate...
No.
This was only an ilussion. Jedrek should be awake soon to finish his mission with Lilac. Lilac was not dead because the moon goddess would save her and everything would be fine. She would be alive again and would come to him.
However, he also couldn't shake these feelings of his; regret and shame.
The burden on his shoulders and the agony in his heart were too hard to not notice and this made the king drop to his knees, as his ragged breathing became the only sound that echoed in his ears.
Was the ilussion finally over?
Jedrek questioned himself, but he needed more time to gather his courage to open his eyes, because he didn't want to see the motionless baby again. To see how the baby closed shut her eyes for the eternity.
That was a terrifying sight to see...
When everything went silence once again and Jedrek was sure that the sounds of people crying finally couldn't be heard, he opened his eyes and stared intensely at the floor under him.
However, He immediately realized that he was still kneeling beside the crib.
But, for some reason, the people around him had disappeared, leaving him all alone. Or maybe, he was not really alone, because from the corner of his eyes, he could see someone walking slowly toward him... or the baby...
Jedrek could see his shoes and somehow, he knew whose those shoes belong to.
And when he raised his head, his gut feeling was proven right, because Jedrek could see Maximus, standing right beside the crib, staring at the baby with a devilish smirk etched on his lips.
"DON'T TOUCH HER!" Jedrek roared in agitation and sprung to his feet to rush toward him."I WILL KILL YOU IF YOU TOUCH HER!"
However, no matter how hard he was screaming or trying to stop Maximus, seemingly, nothing could stop the lycan from stretching out his hands to strangle the baby to her death.
Jedrek forced himself forward, but couldn't as if there was an invisible wall that prevented him from taking a single step closer toward Maximus. He couldn't even touch him.
"NO!!!"
Jedrek roared in panic and agitation upon seeing how Maximus was preparing to kill his mate.
It was totally different when you actually witness it with your own eyes than when you just gave a reckless order to kill your other half.
