novelI WILL RETURN THE FAVOR
| ← Ch.0394 | Ch.0396 → |
"It is better if you stay here and do nothing about this." Maximus gave Kace an advice."Your brother is about to go feral now."
"He did it again." Kace squinted his blue ocean eyes while staring at trees outside of his room through a huge window.
"Serefina betrayed him and you are suspected of helping her escape." Maximus blurted out and he didn't budge from the door.
Kace shifted his attention toward the man, there was disdain in the way Kace saw him."Am I becoming prisoner now?"
"No, you are not." His answer wasn't convincing, especially when it came from Maximus's mouth.
"So?" Kace raised his perfect brows and tilted his head. His easy- going nature was nowhere to be seen at this moment.
"Alpha Jedrek only needs more investigation about your involvement of helping Serefina to escape this realm." Maximus crossed his arms defensively, ready to fight Kace if he insisted to take a single step out of his room.
??In another word." Kace closed his eyes as he could feel the beast in him was on the verge of going berserk."He doesn't trust me." He concluded.
Kace was born from the strongest Alpha and Luna of Lycanthropes, moreover, Kace was a Donovan. The sacred white Lycan, which ruled the realm of Lycanthropes. His Alpha's blood was so thick, though he didn't lead a pack like how Jedrek and Torak did.
Therefore, the way Maximus treated him right now was rude and unacceptable, yet Kace knew better to keep his angry beast in check.
This wasn't the time for it yet.
"Alpha thought you and Serefina are lover." Maximus didn't hold the information back."Just because the fact that you are his younger brother, who shared the same blood, he didn't issue an order to kill you."
The way Maximus put out his words, he implied that Kace was not grateful enough as he was still alive until now.
As if he was trying to say that Jedrek was being merciful and generous to him right now. Maximus had belittled Kace.
A disdain look on Kace blue eyes deepened as a smirk appeared on his lips."Oh, wow! I don't believe that words were coming from your mouth, a Gregory." Kace could see it, a shift of emotion in Maximus eyes.
Maximus Gregory was the last Gregory who was spared to live. It was well known that the Gregory family was a traitor during the great war between the devil and the Lycanthropes.
All of the male members of the Gregory family was sentenced to death by Jedrek, except Maximus, because he had surrendered himself before the treachery of the Gregory family came to light.
Maximus also had helped them by warning Jedrek about his family betrayal.
Because of his merit, Maximus's life was spared, but not all the Lycanthropes happy about this, some of them still thought that Maximus should have died too.
Regardless, no one in their right mind would disobey Jedrek's final decision.
But, Maximus was stripped off of his title as Jedrek's Beta and now he was just a leader of Jedrek's warrior. One of Jedrek's council.
Despite of all that fact, Jedrek and Maximus were still in good terms, as they have grown up together and known each other since they were still in the w. o. m. b.
"Don't play trick with my family name, " Maximus said icily. This was always a taboo topic for Maximus since that day."You know I am not guilty."
Kace crossed his bulged arms in front of his chest, smiling harmlessly toward Maximus. The smile that didn't reach his black eyes."I don't know, I was not the one who gave your entire male family members a death sentence." He shrugged nonchalantly.
They stared at each other for a minute that felt like decade, before Maximus spoke in derision."Yes, because I remember you are not the Alpha at that time."
Kace was different from his other two brothers, though he had the Alpha's blood ran through his veins, he didn't want to take a role in Jedrek's council or followed Torak's step to build his own pack in another realm.
There was something that bothered Kace about leading thousand of life under his wings, responsible to them and their family.
That's only because, after the great war, something changed from the way Kace saw life. 𝑓𝑟e𝒆𝘄e𝗯𝒏ov𝒆l - 🅽🅽novel
Upon hearing Maximus snarky comment, Kace chuckled."Fortunately I wasn't. Because if I was, we will not have this conversation right now."
Kace was suspected of having relationship with Serefina not for nothing. Actually, both of them were quite close, though they would bicker every now and then, but they were in good terms.
Therefore, it was impossible if Kace didn't pick one of two Serefina's annoying traits.
Maximus's pupil dilated as he gritted his teeth, "I think we shouldn't have this conversation from the beginning, because I have another important thing to do right now."
"Great." Kace nodded in agreement."Because I don't appreciate your visit." It was a brutal truth.
"I just want you to know, " Maximus turned around and gave his back to Kace when he was about to go out of the room."It is waste of time if you think you can escape this castle, because there are a lot of warriors at each corners of this place that ready to take you down, as you don't have authority to say otherwise if you try to violate the Alpha's order."
Maximus couldn't win the argument before, thus he tried to strike Kace's pride as one of the great Donovan's brother. He belittled him because he wasn't an Alpha, someone that Kace not chose to be.
"And one more thing." Maximus glanced at Kace through his shoulder."I will let you know if I had killed your mate as per Alpha Jedrek's order."
When he heard that, Kace didn't show any emotion on his face, but he was too calm. It was exceptionally calm until he opened his mouth and replied.
"Sorry for the trouble. Don't you worry, I will return the favor."
