novelJEDREKS WRATH

Jedrek approached her and put his finger under her nose to feel her warm breath and watched closely as her chest rose and fell slowly.
She was alive.
But, where was his mate?
Jedrek stood up and looked around the room, but aside from Raine's scent and faint scents of Lilac, Serefina and Hope, he couldn't smell anything.
Jedrek rushed toward the door, wishing he could pick up some scent of Lilac, but her scent only lingered inside this room, as if she had vanished into thin air.
The king growled loudly and crushed a table until it broke into pieces with his bare fist. He couldn't believe it, he lost his mate this way. He was very reckless to think that he could leave Lilac all on her own in her current condition.
He stood there seemingly trying to calm the pent up anger that rose in his heart, as rage spread across his entire being and his body shook violently, in order to keep his beast from lashing out.
This was not the time to go feral. However, it was hard to control his raging emotions.
Jedrek had been through this once in the past when he lost Serefina, but the feeling was quite different from what he felt now. This was more intense.
He punched the wall near him to vent out his fury a couple of times until his fist bled, creating a big hollow in it's awake.
Fortunately, not long after that, Torak came running into the room.
The white lycan shifted into his human skin once he reached the door and rushed toward his mate, since her scent was intensely strong in the room.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?!" Torak hollered toward Jedrek when he saw Raine was unconscious and the animosity in Jedrek's red eyes.
It was easy to misunderstand the situation now, especially when the other lycan, appeared seemingly, out of sorts as he couldn't think straight.
"I DID NOTHING!" Jedrek hollered back, unable to digest the way Torak talked to him."SHE IS ALREADY LIKE THAT WHEN I COME!"
However, Torak didn't want to argue with him any further, as he shook Raine's shoulder lightly to wake her up."Raine... wake up my love..." Torak's voice broke as if voicing out a lot of mixed emotions all at once.
The Alpha cradled his unconscious mate carefully while repeating the same words, wishing it was enough to bring her back to him.
Not long after that, Raphael came panting slightly, with Lana and Hope right behind him, and entered the room.
However, Jedrek moved very fast to grab Hope's arm and pinned her against the wall while shouting angrily.
"WHERE IS MY MATE?!" He lost his sanity and was not in a condition where he could treat anyone with respect or solicitously.
"JEDREK!" Lana reacted very fast, as she tried to pull back the king from Hope. But, she was pushed away when the king swatted his hand.
"Lana!" Raphael, who was about to approach Torak, rushed back to his mate and held her body."You don't have to do that!" the Beta growled.
However, that act only aggravated the lycan further as he glowered at Raphael before he shifted back his focus on Hope.
"WHERE IS MY MATE!?" Jedrek shouted again.
"SHE WAS TAKEN BY THE CENTAUR AND THE DEVIL!" Hope almost lost her breath because of the tightness of Jedrek's hand, which wrapped around her neck."LET ME GO FIRST!"
At the same time, Raphael tried to separate the king from Hope.
"You will kill her if you keep doing this!" Raphael grabbed Jedrek's shoulder and tried to make some space between him and Hope."YOU WILL GET NOTHING IF YOU KILL HER!" The Beta glowered loudly.
For a few intense seconds, both of them glared at each other, as if they could kill one another by only looking at the other' eyes.
However, in the next second, Jedrek gained his bearing and relented. He let go of Hope's neck and took a step back before he watched how Raphael tried to help Hope to stand up and took her to Lana.
Jedrek took a deep breath and asked Hope stiffly. ??Which centaur do you mean?"
Hope rubbed her neck and caught a few much needed breaths while Lana tried to soothe her by caressing her back.
"Answer me. Which centaur took my mate?" Jedrek enunciated every word clearly. He looked even scarier this way.
"The chief of the centaurs. Chiron." It was Raphael, who told Jedrek, since Hope and Lana looked hesitating to mention his name.
Hope and Lana knew the chief of the centaur personally and a big part of them was in denial that Chiron could do such a thing like that, however that was the fact and they couldn't do anything about it since it was Lilac's life in danger.
Raphael could understand the anger of Jedrek, if something happened to Lana, he wouldn't be so calm to think about this matter thoroughly.
"Chiron!"Jedrek said the chief's name with venom on the tip of his tongue."I had told Kace that he couldn't trust that damn creature!"
After saying that, the king stormed out of the room. His footsteps reverberating through the corridor and no one knew where he wanted to go.
"I will go after him, " Raphael said, he was looking at Torak, but his Alpha's concern was only on his mate.
"Be careful, " Lana said with a worried expression. She knew Raphael wouldn't allow her to go with him.
"I will, " Raphael replied and leaned over to kiss Lana's temple.
Afterward, he dashed toward the direction Jedrek had gone. It was easy to know, since his stomping feet were making louder noise as if he was trying to crush the marble under them in his rage.
Inside the bedroom, Hope immediately rushed toward Torak and Raine with deeply creased brows. She didn't have time to think about what Jedrek was going to do with Chiron when she noticed how pale Raine was.
"What happened to her?" Torak asked in a low and cold tone that halted Hope in her tracks, making it difficult for her to take one more step forward.
"I don't know..." Hope answered truthfully and then told Torak everything that happened when the devils came.
"She was left alone with Belphegor?" Torak narrowed his eyes dangerously.
