novelSOLAR ECLIPSE
| ← Ch.0396 | Ch.0398 → |
Kace sat down with dark expression on his face when two guards approached him to take him back to his bedroom.
"My lord, you have to go back to your room now." One of the guard asked Kace respectfully. He opened his arm to show the path to the castle, as if Kace all of sudden forgot the way to get there.
The solar eclipse wouldn't last for long time, thus Kace had to act immediately to crossover to another realm.
"My lord." The other guards reminded Kace because he didn't move at all and looked out of focus."Is there something bothering you?"
However, instead of answering the guard's question, Kace turned into his beast and attacked those guards.
They didn't expect this, hence Kace had the upper hand to knock them to the ground easily.
It was hard enough to leave them unconscious, but not enough to take their live. Their healing ability would take around five minutes until they regained their consciousness and until then, Kace had long gone.
==============
The white beast pumped his four legs as fast as he could, threw away his obstacle and left them injured, so they couldn't chase after him.
This solar eclipse also helped Kace's beast to escape from the guards, who were surrounding the castle.
As a bad omen for Lycanthropes, Jedrek as the Alpha of the Lycanthropes Kingdom, needed to be put in safety place and completed a certain ritual.
Therefore, all of the guards would gather together in front of Selene's temple, where Jedrek would stay inside during the solar eclipse. f𝑟e𝒆𝘸𝒆𝙗𝒏ov𝒆l - 🅽🅽novel
Because Kace wasn't really into that sort of thing and didn't really believe with the bad omen that was brought by the eclipse, he violated all the rules and escaped.
The castle and the town nearby was very quiet as everyone chose to stay inside their room, shielded themselves from the darkness.
Except from a few guards inside the castle, which crossed path with Kace's white beast, there were not many people in the town that saw him.
Among the absent of the sunlight, the movement of the beast was akin to a white shadow that pierced through the dark.
Once Kace arrived at the border of the dessert of no return, he saw leaped through it as the familiar sensation crawled all over his fur.
==============
The bustling city under the night sky was the first thing that Kace realized about his new environment. He walked along the street where many houses stood majestically on either side of the road.
At the end of the road, Kace saw her. The woman who had managed to make his older brother turned the entire realm upside down because of losing her.
The smile on her lips was the exact smirk that Kace remembered the last time they met each other.
At that time, Serefina told him that she would leave the realm and the surprise part was because, instead of telling Jedrek, she was telling him.
Kace was surprised and found her peculiar decision was something that out of her character, but she decisively didn't want to tell him her reason when Kace asked her.
As far as Kace knew, Serefina was head over heel for Jedrek, so did his brother to her. The question still remained; why she had to leave?
And Kace still couldn't figure it out until now.
Years ago, the night Serefina left the realm, she just said that she would find his mate and would give Kace a sign when she did find her. It was a call for him to come.
"Why do you think I want a mate? I have lived long enough without a mate, I don't think I want it now, especially when she comes from a weak kind of creature like guardian angel." That was what Kace said at that time.
Yet, Serefina just smiled at him and raised her head to look the full moon in the sky.
That night was a full moon. Kace remembered it clearly.
She looked very serene in her white dress. Any traces of hostility and arrogance, which often showed on her face, couldn't be seen.
"That is Jedrek's words, not you." Serefina said with certainty, as if she could see Kace's soul as easy as reading an open book.
"Don't be too confident in yourself." Kace grumbled as he crossed his arms.
At that time, he was unsure if he wanted a mate, but the beast in him knew him better that he needed his other half. His soul. The essence of his existence.
Therefore, Kace had waited for this moment, for more than decades.
Waiting for Serefina's signal and now, Kace could feel all the adrenaline rushed through his veins. The signal from Serefina appeared, so did his mate, right?
"Don't smirk at me." Kace greeted Serefina when they had faced each other under the street light that illuminated their surroundings.
Serefina raised her eyebrows questioningly."That's how you greet me after such a long time?"
"What? You want a hug?" Kace opened his arms widely, inviting the witch to his warm embrace.
But, Serefina's smile dropped as she looked at Kace with disdain in her green lime eyes."Disgusting."
"So?" Kace put down his arms and crossed them in front of his chest. The gesture that showed that he was a little bit nervous.
"I think she is inside." Serefina looked over at the house across the road where they were standing.
Kace followed the witch's line of sight and looked at a big house with all the lights were turned on, illuminating every dark corner of the house.
"She is inside?" Kace asked breathily. His heart was beating so fast, he didn't know that this anticipation felt like this.
"I think so." Serefina tilted her head.
"What do you mean?" Kace frowned.
Yet, before they could continue their conversation, a familiar scent assaulted Kace's nose as he stared to the street behind the witch with hostility in his eyes.
"Maximus." Kace said his name icily.
