"What are we waiting for, Dimitri!?" Xerxes roared at his leader in anger. It had been two days and the victory was right before their eyes, yet they couldn't claim it because Dimitri wasn't agreeing. He was waiting, waiting for someone to come."We can swipe them off right now! We don't need to wait!"
Yet, Dimitri didn't budge, his calm eyes glared at the other vampires, who were looking as though they were on the verge of losing their patience, just like Xerxes and what this certain vampire said only created a big ripple among the vampires.
They even dared enough to complain and demand for an order from Dimitri.
"ENOUGH!" Dimitri snarled back at them and his voice echoed throughout the night. Efficiently silencing them from their endless complains."If you think our victory is only a step away from us and it is a solid fact that no one could deny it. So what's the fuss about waiting for one more day?! Giving them some hope that they could survive and then crush it again when we barge into their last defense?!"
Dimitri skimmed his eyes over the people in front of him and then stopped at Xerxes.
"You, " he said coldly, pointing his sharp finger at Xerxes's face."I don't want to hear any rubbish coming from your mouth again!"
Xerxes's jaw tightened, his hands balled into fists beside his body and he spoke through gritted teeth."If you don't want to attack them now, at least give us a reason why you think that we don't need to do that now itself?!"
Unsatisfied murmurs erupted among the crowd as they agreed with what Xerxes suggested.
The battle with the lycanthropes earlier was very easy. They could assume that them coming here, was out of their wildest predictions. Who would have expected this? That they would be ambushed when they were hiding in their sanctuary.
"Yes, what are you waiting for, Dimitri?" Another vampire, named Aaric asked him, he had an easy going personality, but at this time he was not at all pleased with Dimitri's decision to wait when they could snatch the victory and crush those dogs right away.
"Sorry for being late."
A soft voice could be heard from behind the horde followed by several sharp intakes of breath, from among the crowd when they realized that there was a little girl behind them.
But, the most shocking thing was; they didn't realize at all since when she was there and wait... the girl didn't have a scent!
Even though, they didn't know who this little girl was or what she was, the crowd still dispersed and made a way for her to walk.
The girl was around the age of thirteen or fourteen, but the way she carried herself was noteworthy, she looked more confident and composed than the rest of the vampires here.
"I have been waiting for you so long, " Dimitri said, he held his hand out and the girl grabbed it."What took you so long, Terra?"
The girl named Terra turned around to face the crowd, as her purple cloak fluttered around her small body.
"I brought an order from Beelzebub, " she said calmly.
"What is it?" Dimitri's eyes glinted with excitement, especially when he watched the way Terra glanced at the castle behind him.
"Something interesting, of course, " Terra replied with a vicious smirk.

"Jedrek, tell me what happened?" Kace looked at his brother with his brows creasing deeply."Who were you talking to?" he immediately asked him when he saw the conversation between Jedrek and whoever had mind- linked him was over.
However, Jedrek didn't answer him immediately, instead, he observed the other faces inside this tent, which belonged to the eleven Alphas aside from his two brothers.
"Leave us alone, " he said in a stern voice, leaving no space for questions or objections.
Though they were in the middle of a heated discussion, but from the look of Jedrek's face, they knew that they shouldn't gamble with their luck.
After hearing that direct order, all the eleven Alphas left the tent, one by one, leaving only the Donovans inside.
"What now?" Kace folded his arms, a defensive stature. He prepared himself for the worse.
Meanwhile, even though Torak didn't show it on his face and his expression had remained calm, but the look in his eyes told them otherwise. He was anticipating what Jedrek would tell them until he had to chase away the other Alphas.
"Lilac mind- linked me, she said Hope has woken up, " Jedrek said, he looked at Kace, whose expression changed almost instantly.
"Are you sure?" he asked in disbelief, his jaw dropped and the moment Jedrek nodded, he didn't wait for his permission, neither would he stop if Jedrek didn't allow him to leave."I will go to see her."
And, Jedrek didn't make any attempt to stop him either, he let Kace leave, since he knew how it felt for wanting to see his mate badly. After all, Lilac asked him to send the two Donovans over.
Jedrek would do the same thing too, if he was not very ashamed at his own decisions all this while which caused so many casualties on their side.
Jedrek was more than thankful that Lilac was level- headed enough to understand the situation and knew what was more important, because if Lilac said that she wanted him to go to her, Jedrek would throw everything here aside and run to her, because he want nothing but to have her in his arms now.
However, he couldn't do this now. He was the king and he needed to lead his people, just like what his queen was doing now.
"What about Raine?" Torak finally spoke, he had been very silent throughout the entire discussion.
Jedrek took a deep breath and shifted his attention toward his brother."Lilac said she didn't wake up yet."
"Hm." Torak had this feeling that something was not going well with his mate, since the other two guardian angels seemed fine from Jadrek words.
"But, I want you to go back, " Jedrek added.
"What about here?" Torak stared at Jedrek impassively, his mind was elsewhere.
"I will take care of the things here."
