"Torak is with Serefina to find Kace in the northern coven, " Lyrus answered. He wanted to confirm his statement, but just by looking at Jedrek's expression he could tell, that this King didn't want to answer that question.
However, it might sounded bizarre, yet Jedrek's silence confirmed what Lyrus thought was absolutely impossible.
Meanwhile, Jedrek was not interested in anything when he heard her name...
Serefina...
The witch...
How long when the last time Jedrek heard someone mentioned her name? Was it years? Centuries?
All the memories flooded back in his mind and it needed more than a strong will to hold them back, kept them in place, which was on the back of his mind. The dark place where he had sworn, he would never touch it ever again.
Yet, here he was, holding onto his last fa?ade to appear nonchalant upon the mention of her name.
Serefina...
Her name echoed in Jedrek's head again when he listened, half- heartedly, to the information that Lyrus tried to tell him.
There was only one thing that shook his entire being, which was the fact that he would meet her again.
"...for now, Alpha Torak and his people are in the northern coven, but the last information that I had, was them crossed the sea to the sacred place, which is in different island." Lyrus ended his long monologue and watched Jedrek's expression.
And this was the first time Jedrek looked like this...
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Lyrus asked with concern laced in his voice."Do you need something?" The Beta walked over to approach Jedrek, but one look from him, stopped Lyrus in his track.
"Yes, " Jedrek answered curtly.
"Please, what is it your grace?" Lyrus knitted his brows, he was at lost when he watched the apparent pain crossed Jedrek's expression.
"I want you to leave, " Jedrek said through his gritted teeth.
Unfortunately, Lyrus didn't catch the urgency behind Jedrek's words when he did not immediately do what Jedrek had said.
"LEAVE!" Jedrek roared and this snapped Lyrus back to his senses as he nodded his head and walked out of the room right away, leaving the furious King alone.
Jedrek grabbed his crystal glass and crushed it into pieces. The pain from the sharp shard that pierced his palm, comforted him to stay sane.
He knew Serefina would come along with his two brothers and their guardian angels. He could read what this witch was up to. Went missing for centuries only to return to rally them to another war with the devils.
"What are you doing... Serefina?" Her name fell from his lips and he craved more for her presence.
Jedrek felt that he needed the drink that Maximus had been giving him, a drink he had not consumed for a long time, to numb the dull ache that seemed so hard to get rid of, no matter how hard he tried.
When Jedrek was struggling with his own feeling, he heard someone opened the door.
"SCRAM!" He roared even more viciously than before.
However, she didn't slow down her step or even flinch when she was yelled at.
Jedrek realized who it was even before he raised his head to see her figure, as her strong scent, though he hated to admit it, slightly calmed his nerves.
"What do you want?" Jedrek asked through his gritted teeth.
"You are hurt, " Lilac said softly. She stopped walking right in front of Jedrek, so now it was only the table between them.
Jedrek scoffed. He raised his hand, which he used to crush the glass, but the deep cut had healed, leaving only some blood on his palm.
Lilac looked at him sadly."Not there." And she pointed her finger toward Jedrek's chest."There."
Jedrek gripped the edge of his wooden table until it cracked under his strong hold, yet it didn't scare Lilac away."Scram, when I am still being nice to you."
Yet, the guardian angel didn't heed his warning. She looked bitter and heartbroken.
"Do you want to hear my advice?" Lilac asked in her toneless voice, yet she didn't wait for Jedrek's consent to continue."Don't get too deep into this pain, because there will be more pain you will feel in the future."
"I need you to leave, " Jedrek said in the same toneless tone that Lilac used. He straightened his back and glared at his mate with his dark eyes.
"You may not like me as much as I do, but we are bound in this bond of soul mate and Selene won't listen to our complaints. So, why don't we get along and win this stupid war by fulfilling our respective roles?" Lilac could feel her heart was thumping badly against her chest. She tried to appear strong, but was not sure how she looked like now.
"I said, leave." Jedrek clenched his jaw tightly.
But, like before or the days before this, the guardian angel didn't listen to what he said."Mate or not, we are not going to spend our life together."
There was a silence that fell between the two of them and Jedrek became impatient because Lilac didn't explain what she said further."What do you mean?"
"You already know for sure that in order to win this battle you must sacrifice the Guardian Angels." When Lilac saw Jedrek was about to talk, she beat him to that."The guardian angel went extinct in the first war, so in the second war the same thing would happen."
"No. They died because they were sapped from their energy before went to war." Jedrek rejected the idea.
"The story repeats itself. After all, the three of us should have died by now if it weren't for the second chance that was given to us." Lilac bit her lips when she looked at Jedrek sadly."Let's carry out our role."
==============
Serefina looked up at the stary sky, staring at the moon with her lips shut tightly, but her heart howled to the goddess above.
If this had to end tragically, she hoped all this pain would one day go away.
This too shall pass, right?
