novelHEADING TOWARD THEIR DESTINATION
| ← Ch.0683 | Ch.0685 → |
Serefina suggested for Torak to bring only the people that he needed, and by that meant, the witch thought it would be only a handful people.
However, who would have thought Torak would bring a pack with him?!
Aside from Torak's Beta, Gamma and one warrior named Jack, who would look after Raine, as if Torak would leave her side, which was impossible, there were Alpha Romulus and Alpha Chris.
And each of the Alpha would bring their second in command and their own people, which in all totaled up to two hundred people.
"Have you lost your mind?!" Serefina shrieked."Do you want to declare a war with your brother?!"
Torak frowned as he opened the door for Raine and the girl gladly crawled inside, didn't interest to hear another argumentation between the witch and her lover.
"We go to talk, why should I declare a war with him?" Torak leaned his body against the car as he faced the fuming witch.
"Don't you see? How many people that you bring with you?!" Serefina felt her head hurt. This, whether Torak didn't know or he just intentionally wanted to give her a hard time."Your brother is not an Alpha! He doesn't have a horde of people at his disposal like you! If you are going to bring your pack to meet him, he will have fled miles away before you can talk to him!" she was exasperated.
Inside the car, Raine chewed her marshmallow and shared it with Calleb, who was sitting behind the steering wheel.
"How long do you think it will last?" Calleb nodded to the argumentation between Serefina and Torak.
"Hm, " Raine swallowed her marshmallow."Ten minutes."
"I said two minutes. Torak will turn a deaf ear." Calleb plopped a marshmallow into his mouth."I bet my one month salary."
Yet, after Calleb finished saying his last words, he got a hit on the back of his head. It was Raphael, who was standing outside of the car. He stretched out his hand through the open window beside Calleb.
"Don't teach her something bad!" Raphael glared at the Gamma and Raine chuckled when she heard that.
"D*mn Lycan and their remarkable hearing!" Calleb cursed under his breath, as he rubbed the back of his head.
"You are a lycan too!" Raine chimed in between her laugh.
On the other side of the car, Torak answered to the witch curtly."He has a centaur with him. I would not risk my mate's safety on the assumption that he would be friendly with me." Torak opened the car door and didn't let Serefina to snap back at him.

Jedrek watched Lilac hair as it turned back into her initial black color under the sunlight. He touched it and felt the softness of the strands.
Lilac was still fast asleep, she looked exhausted and in her unawareness state, the girl snuggled closer to Jedrek's embrace, searching for warm, when the cold wind came through the open carriage window, which later Jedrek closed it.
The journey to the southern region would take a week.
Actually, it would be easier if all of them shifted and ran in their beast form, but in Lilac current condition, Jedrek didn't think it would be convenient for her, moreover, he needed time to think and being with his mate could calm his beast, helping him to think clearly since his beast would stop to nag at him.

"The Apricity River froze again, " Lydia informed them."I think we need to prepare ourselves for something unpredictable."
Kace's expression turned grim when he heard that, the last time that river froze was when everything turned into chaos. The dead of the shadow warrior, the extinction of the guardian angel and the paramount of that was the war with the devil.
"You know what that means, right?" Lydia glanced at the lycan beside her.
Yet, Kace didn't answer her. He was in deep thought.
"If war breaks out, then the best thing for you is to return to your brother to join forces. The devil won't just let you go. They want your mate and they will get it no matter what. And you don't have power in your hand except the centaurs and a few shifters." Lydia waved her hand to the group behind her.
"I have my own force, " Kace spoke grimly, as he watched Hope, who was walking in front of him, talking to Bree.
"What kind of force?" Lydia asked curiously."I have never heard you ever created a pack on your own."
"No, I don't have a pack." Kace shook his head, his expression was devoid from any emotion when he spoke."You can say, I have reliable friends."
After saying that, Kace walked ahead, picked up Bree and sat her on his shoulder as the little girl squalled happily, leaving Lydia pondered in her own thought.
==============
"This is my first time in the northern realm, " Calleb spoke to Raine beside him, while Torak and Raphael were talking to the other two Alphas before they crossed the sea to reach the sacred place, where Serefina told them that Kace was there.
In the other hand, Hope didn't realy hear what Calleb said as her eyes fixed on a strange creature near them.
That creature looked like horse in the color of white with fat yellow stripes on its stomach.
"Torak bought two sh. i. p. s for us." Serefina approached them, it looked like she had lost another argument to Torak.
The witch hated having to come back to this place and hated it even more when they had to bring so many people that attracted the other creatures' attention.
Torak would say it was for their own safety, because rather than to sneak around inside this foreign land and took a detour, it would save them more time to just go all out and ended this journey as soon as possible.
Raine laughed upon hearing that and rewarded a glare from Serefina. Recently the witch was a little bit cranky.
