Finally, after weeks of waiting, Tordoff, Sebastian and Kyle managed to bring Maximus back.
Meanwhile, Maximus was well aware about what had happened to the castle in the city center and now Jedrek had moved his force to the castle in the southern region.
However, he didn't know what would greet him once he arrived there, neither Tordoff nor the other two generals knew what Jedrek would do to Maximus. They were just ordered to bring him back and here they were, entering the gates of the castle.
"I still don't understand why don't you come back after you got hurt?" Kyle asked Maximus."The situation in the city center falls apart when the castle collapses and the gates of Tartarus open."
"I have another thing to do, " Maximus grunted in low voice. He had heard about that and was surprised that Jedrek managed to push his limit to kill Diana. The king must not have drunk the drink he always gave him. It seemed Maximus had to start giving that to him again, otherwise he will be difficult to control.
However, the thing that Maximus didn't know was the fact that Jedrek had never been truly under his control. It was his genuine feeling for not having his own mother killed, yet things changed and he was forced to choose between awful or dreadful and the king chose something less costly.
Something that he should have done from the beginning.
Yet, Maximus wouldn't know about that until it was too late for him to realize his mistake and how he had underestimated Jedrek all this time, thinking he was the one in control.
"I will see the king tomorrow, " Maximus said, as he was about to walk toward different direction.
But, Sebastian held his hand."No, the King wants to see you now."
Maximus frowned."But, it is already late."
"But, the king wants to see you as soon as we arrived." Sebastian pressed this matter.
"Did he tell you?" Maximus narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
"The king just mind- linked me, " Sebastian replied."He is in the west wing. Let's go."
Maximus didn't budge, thus there was a tension in the air when both generals were looking into each other eyes until Maximus swatted Sebastian's hand and walked ahead.

"Where is Lana?" Hope squalled when she finally returned to her home, this house was exactly how she remembered. Since the first two months Kace brought her away, she had been asking for them to come back, yet Kace always turned it down and eventually, due to her bad condition, Hope had never asked again.
"Lana is away. She has another mission." Serefina plopped down on the plush sofa and closed her eyes to avoid Torak and Kace's meaningful look. She hated it when the two brothers kept reminding her about the thing that she was supposed to do.
It was not a big deal. She just needed to go to the other realm and met Jedrek, talked to him about Kace's term and Torak and Kace would come one or two days later.
It really was not something big...
Serefina sighed tiredly.
"You should stop ordering her around, " Hope complained and grabbed Raine's hand."Come, I will show you my room!" she was very happy to come back.
After Raine knew the reason behind Calleb's hostility toward Hope and Kace, she had talked to him and now the Gamma slightly held himself from making a rude remark whenever Hope and Kace were around.
Kace sat down beside Serefina after he showed Torak, Calleb and Raphael their room."So, I am wondering why..."
"Stop!" Serefina raised her hand and glared at Kace."I know what you are going to ask. I will go tomorrow!" she growled, maybe if she was a female lycan, she would have clawed his face by now.
Kace frowned."No, what I want to ask you was; can't you see? Hope is getting better now. Why is that?"
It was not that Kace was ungrateful, but he had tried everything and Carina had done everything that she could, but Hope's condition was not getting better, though it didn't get worse.
However, seeing Hope now, she looked very healthy, as if she had never been sick in this past year.
"The guardian angel's healing ability, " Serefina murmured, they could hear both of the girls were squalling and talking with each other from inside their room.
"I thought the guardian angel didn't have that kind of power..." Kace stared at the direction at Hope's room and smiled tenderly, he was more than happy to know that she was back as cheerful as she was before.
"The guardian angels have different healing abilities from the shifters, " Serefina said."But, it doesn't mean this healing ability could heal physical injuries."
"Why didn't you say this a year ago?" Kace glared at Serefina.
"I think I forgot, but it was your fault too." Serefina reciprocated Kace's glare."You shouldn't runaway the day after I said that! You don't even ask me again if I missed something. We were just coming back from the northern coven realm and you asked me that, I am not in my right mind, okay?"
The guardian angel had extinct long enough for Serefina to forget the smallest detail about what they were able to do.
Also that was the time when Serefina got the backlash for the life that the moon goddess gave to her. How could she remember that little detail?
"Whatever, " Kace said tiredly and leaned his back against the backrest. There was a moment of silence before he looked at the witch beside him again."Are you going tomorrow?"
"Hm, " Serefina hummed. There was no emotion in her lime green eyes, they were empty.
"Do you think he had found his mate?" Kace asked carefully.
"Yes, " Serefina replied dryly.
Kace looked at her and stretched out his hand, he pushed her head so she could rest on his shoulder. At this time, the witch didn't resist. She let Kace caressed her head.
She needed this...
