novelYOU ARE MINE
| ← Ch.0834 | Ch.0836 → |
What if she was not his mate? Would he do the same?
Jedrek knew exactly what Lilac meant by her question, but it didn't make him fathom what the right answer for that, therefore he answered what he felt right now for Lilac.
"I don't know the answer for that question. Whether it's because you are my mate or not, whether the mate bond that urged me to do something impulsive and put aside my pride to bend my knees. But, all I know is; at this point, I will do everything to keep you safe."
Jedrek unbuttoned the last button from Lilac's dress and revealed her n. a. k. e. d body. This would be the second time he got to see her n. a. k. e. d, but in a totally different condition.
"You are my missing piece." Jedrek cradled Lilac in his arms and she closed her eyes under Jedrek's smoldering gaze upon seeing her body, but the sound of his voice soothed her ears."You make me want to be a better version of me."
Lilac felt her dress slid away under her body.
"You are my obsession." Jedrek's touch felt hot on Lilac's skin when he helped her to put on her dress."You are my soul mate."
Lilac opened her eyes and watched as Jedrek slid the white dress on swiftly and pulled her long hair from inside it before he buttoned it up again.
"You are my angel." Jedrek's fingers danced on her body when he buttoned all the three buttons on the dress front, covering her delicate skin again.
Afterward, he arranged the pillows behind Lilac, so she could rest against it. When he was done, he tucked the few dangling strands of her hair behind her ears and leaned over to kiss her temple gently.
"You are mine, " he said softly.
Lilac felt surreal when Jedrek said all of those things to her. If it was two years ago, she wouldn't have believed any of it.
Just like what Jedrek said earlier; whether this was the mate bond or not, Lilac felt she was loved by him right now. The way he said what he felt about her with every touch on her skin, made her shudder in delight.
"And you are mine?" Lilac asked softly.
Jedrek grabbed her hands and kissed her knuckles while saying, "And I am yours."
The bright sun streamed down from the window, illuminated the room, indicating a new day had begun and made woes and misery from yesterday appear like some long time memories from the past in comparison.
This was not the end, they still got a lot to fight for and a war to win.
It might be hard and almost impossible to achieve, but they would go through it together.
==============
"Jedrek still didn't want to go out from his room?" Hope asked, she had been following Kace since this morning and it would be lunch time soon, but this lycan wouldn't let her go even for a second.
Kace insisted that Hope should follow him around and be within his eyesight.
Being betrayed by Chiron forced Kace to look at his life in a different perspective, maybe it was only him, who was over thinking things, but now he could understand Jedrek and his skeptical behavior a little bit.
Kace would have gone crazy if he were Jedrek, living in the same roof with those people who were ready to stab you in the back once you put your guard down for a mere second.
At this point, Kace was curious about the possibility that Jedrek chose to drive him and Torak away from this realm, might be because of this very reason, since he knew everything that their father had done from the beginning.
"No, " Kace said grumpily. He took Hope to the entrance gates to observe the situation, but saw that Torak and Raine were earlier than them, and now they were busy talking to Sterling and Alpha Ralph."Since that night, he will never let Lilac out of his sight."
"Yeah, so did you..." teased Hope.
"Me?" Kace turned around and glared at Hope incredulously."Of course not."
"Said the person who was banging the door hysterically because I took two minutes longer inside the bathroom, " Hope reminded him and Kace just took her hand as he quickened his pace, while the girl giggled upon seeing his reaction.
However, it was not only Kace and Hope, or Jedrek and Lilac, because Torak became more protective toward Raine as well. The girl was seen following Torak in every meeting that he joined with the other Alphas from early in the morning.
On the brighter side, it was a good thing for Raine to be exposed to more people and be known as Torak's mate, but aside from that, the girl literally must be at an arms length near Torak all the time.
Raine waved her hand to Hope when she saw her approaching toward them with Kace in tow, but Sebastian stopped them intending to talk to Kace.
Meanwhile, Calleb came over and grinned at Raine."Why don't you come with me to eat lunch?" He talked to Raine first before he gave Torak the information from the city gates.
Apparently, Jedrek's people would come from another area of this realm and they would help them to rebuild the gates again, make it stronger if possible.
"Are you hungry, my love?" Torak asked, with concern evident in his eyes.
"Not really, " Raine replied.
"Give me five minutes and we will have lunch together." He kissed her cheek briefly before he continued to talk with Sterling and Alpha Ralph again.
"Have you seen a tiger shifter?" Calleb conversed with Raine, while Torak was busy talking to the other people."I met one at the city gates, I think he came for Kace, he looks skinny and pitiful as a shifter..."
Raine knew, if Calleb started rumbling like this, all she had to do was listen and she was good at it. He wouldn't stop until he reported everything he had done to Raine.
Therefore, when Calleb stopped mid- sentence and perked her ears, as he turned around groggily, Raine frowned.
"Call, what happened?" Raine asked, she watched as Calleb closed his eyes as he sniffed the air greedily.
