"She stabbed you, " Violet stared at Jedrek's left shoulder. There was no scar there, and the wound was healed completely. But somehow, the witch knew about it.
Violet supported her body with her elbow, revealing her skin under the glowing sunlight that came through a big window. She was laying on a large sofa, l. u. s. ting after Jedrek's body. Their meeting sessions would always end up like this.
Not that she was complaining, in fact, she was happy to share intimacy with the Alpha. They had been like this for as long as she could remember."You can go now." Then Jedrek wore his clothes again. Even after what they had done, once he was satisfied, he would turn back into his usual heartless self again.
Violet was used to this character of Jedrek. She knew better not to expect anything for their relationship. Although it would be a lie to say that after years they had been together, she never aimed for the impossible. Of course she had. But, at the end, she realized that their relationship was nothing more than sharing some warmth whenever he needed it.
She knew who was in Jedrek's mind whenever they were together. Her red hair reminded him of someone he treasured the most, someone that he would never be able to forget. Violet sighed when she stretched her body lazily. She ignored him as she laid flat on her stomach and kept talking.
Meanwhile, Jedrek went back to his work again.
"Is she really a guardian angel?" Violet asked while wiggling her legs, showing her glowing back under the sunlight. But Jedrek didn't answer her. He was drowned in his work."I have never seen one. Can I meet her?" Violet asked again. But again, no answer from Jedrek.
"I will take that as a 'yes', " said Violet, jumping to her own conclusion."I have seen the destruction in the great hall, and it doesn't look like it was done by a weak guardian angel." Everybody knew how weak guardian angels were. Even though their kind had long been extinct from existence. They were known to be weak creatures.
Still, there was no answer from Jedrek.
"I'm really curious, maybe I will pay a visit to the north wing."
Finally, Jedrek spared her a glance as he knitted his brows. The north wing area was an abandoned part of the castle. Why would this witch want to go there? Judging by the glance that he threw her, Violet realized that she knew something that he didn't.
"You don't know, do you?" Violet twirled her red hair between her fingers."Maximus took that girl to stay there." After hearing what the witch said, Jedrek resumed his focus back on the report in front of him. Apparently, he wasn't interested in that revelation.
Sighing deeply, Violet pouted her lips because Jedrek refused to talk."Don't worry, I'll give you the information that I promised you, as soon as possible." At the same time, before Violet could speak further, someone was knocking at the door. Without minding his bed partner who was still n. a. k. e. d, Jedrek granted his entrance.
Lyrus opened the door and came in. He immediately averted his gaze from the n. a. k. e. d woman on the sofa. He knew what Jedrek was doing inside with Violet. Because he smelled their pheromones, that's why he knocked on the door first before coming in. But Lyrus didn't expect for his eyes to be rewarded with the sight of the witch's body.
"Jedrek!!!" Violet shrieked when she met Lyrus's eyes. Lyrus had immediately turned his head away, but the witch was still furious by Jedrek's lack of respect. In a blink of an eye, Violet teleported herself somewhere, leaving only her dress and undergarments on the floor.
"You should've not let me enter if she is still here, " Lyrus mumbled as he approached Jedrek. Jedrek could hear the Beta's complaint, but he completely ignored it."Any news?" Jedrek said. He watched as Lyrus sat on the chair opposite him. He had a new report from yesterday's incident.
"Apparently, this only happened in your brother's territory." said Lyrus.
Jedrek raised his head and met Lyrus's concerned eyes."Torak?"
"Yes, " Lyrus replied.
"Find out more about that, " Jedrek said in a low voice. He contemplated for a while, calculating for what to do next."And also put someone to watch the situation in his territory."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lyrus nodded, but he didn't get up. There was something else that weighed his mind. He was unsure if it was his place to say it. But he thought it would be better to let the King know his concern."Regarding the guardian angel. I think we should keep her with us, whether she is useful or not. But, it's better to keep her close than let her fall into the enemy's hands."
He turned his head at his Beta. He was about to lash out. But in the end, he asked for Lyrus to find Maximus instead."Tell Maximus to come here." Lyrus knew that his concerns would only be ignored. However, he still kept his respect towards his Alpha and excused himself. He knew that Jedrek would only listen to Maximus more than him, as his Beta.
After Lyrus left, Jedrek leaned his back against his chair. He closed his eyes. Actually, he didn't want to think about anything right now. His mind was in a complete mess at the moment. He couldn't think of anything as to solve his problems.
His beast had been in a bad temper ever since he met Lilac. Her delicious scent still lingered in his mind even now. And he hated the fact that he missed her. This stupid mate-bond! He really wanted to kill her, but he just couldn't bring himself to do so.
It didn't take so long for Maximus to come and presented himself in front of his Alpha. His signature sly smile etched on his lips. Maximus slightly bowed his head solemnly, "Are you looking for me, Your Majesty?"𝘧r𝑒𝒆𝘄e𝗯𝘯ov𝒆l - 🅽🅽novel
"Who told you to keep her inside the north wing?" Jedrek stood on his feet and prowled towards his general. Maximus raised his head to meet Jedrek's dark eyes, he didn't look surprised to see his Alpha's reaction. In fact, it was as he expected, he knew it would be like this.
"Your Majesty, the guardian angel is needed for the upcoming war, Sir, " Maximus said calmly with his controlled voice."It was a mistake to kill her years ago. You should've listened to 'him'. In fact it is a miracle that she turned out to be alive after all that."
Jedrek moved fast, and in no time, Maximus's neck was wrapped around his fingers. He threw him across the room."I LISTEN TO NO ONE!" he roared in anger.
