Chapter 657 - GET RID OF HER

"It looks like there was a lot of things had happened on Torak's side as well." Lyrus contemplated while leaning his back on his seat, facing his Alpha. They were the strange phenomenon that had been happening around them nowadays. The number of the case was getting high each days. Lyrus was ordered to investigate, and gather information about it.

In front of Lyrus, Jedrek was listening to his report. He was quiet, not even gave his thought about it. Although his body was present in the room, it was clear for anyone to see that the King's mind was elsewhere. There was something else in his mind, bothering him profoundly. Yet, no one could really tell what was bothering him these days.

"The same thing happened to a female lycan named Jenedieth. Her soul has been torn from her body, making her to no longer be a shapeshifter." said Lyrus. "However, it turned out that she is now appeared to be sane enough for someone who had lost her soul."

Jedrek shifted his attention upon hearing the news. It was worth the shock for it was somewhat a progress to their investigation. This new information could perhaps lead to a true understanding of what was going on.

But then, "Your Majesty, if I may, Sir, maybe we shouldn't kill all the victims right away?" Lyrus tried to express his opinion.

In fact, there were about five people who were kept under surveillance, still unconscious but breathing. They were preserved as it was, because Jedrek wanted to find out what exactly would happen to them once they woke up. But apart from the five people, the other fallen victims were all killed right away after they were found. The number was not to be forsaken.

There were hundreds of victims already, and counting. Even so, there was no guarantee that the five people would be kept alive once Jedrek had done with them.

"And what? Let the devil collect what belongs to them later?" Jedrek raised his eyebrows to Lyrus, questioning his opinion.

Lyrus sighed deeply. With the number of case that kept on growing quickly, people started to become anxious, and worried. Because there were that many people whose family member was still missing. Even after the royal search order was undergone, still not a single soul returned to their family. It's not that they couldn't find them, it's just that they were ordered to kill them right away once found.

"Your Majesty, Sir—" Lyrus was about to say something more to it, but Jedrek raised his hand. The Beta stopped. The look in Jedrek's eyes indicated that he was in the middle of a mind-link with someone.

"What?!" Jedrek hissed viciously under his breath when he heard what the other person told him through the mind-link. His emotion was then peaked, his eyes turned dark. He was controlled by the beast in him. There was a low dangerous growl reverberated in his chest. He was trying to contain his anger, fighting the beast so that it won't consume him wholly.

==============

That scent was the first thing that he sensed. It was the sweetest scent that had ever invaded all of his senses. It hit him hard that he would paralyze happily for it. He knew to whom this scent belonged to.

But, he didn't have time to indulge himself in his mate's presence. The door to the library was opened, and Lilac's unique scent became more and more palpable with every step that he took. Her voice echoed softly inside the room, but Jedrek fought his beast for dominant as he approached the witch that had violated his rule.

His anger was possessing him to his very vain. He was enjoying the sight of Violet screamed and thrashed, the moment he held her up high by her neck. Her face got redder with each passing second. This was what she deserved for the crime she committed.

"STOP IT!"

Lilac pulled down Jedrek's muscular arm, trying to make him lowered his hand that was grabbing Violet's neck. But she failed. He didn't even budge from her interference. She felt like she was holding onto a trunk. Lilac never thought that his body would feel like this. He was literally built of muscle.

"You're going to kill her!" Lilac screamed. But all that she got was only an irritated look from the Alpha. He kept on putting his focus on Violet, squeezing her very tight. And then, he threw her away.

Lilac was petrified by the sight she just witnessed. Violet's body flew across the room, to the other side where her body hit a bookshelf. She watched the witch tumbled down to the ground, and heavy books fell down on her, trapping her body beneath it.

Lilac gasped in horror by that scene. She knew that Jedrek was cruel, but to hurt a woman without batting an eye was just such a brutal thing to do. She didn't expect to experience of witnessing such violence. It was a good wake-up call, a sort of reminder that this lycan was the same man who gave a killing order of an innocent baby.

"Jedrek!" Lilac glared at him, but the lycan only stared at her with the same emotionless expression. He didn't look sorry for what he had done at all. If anything, the only thing she could see was the profound resentment behind his dark eyes.

Although Lilac was not never been in good terms with Violet, and whatever happened to her was not her responsibility, but the guardian angel was still have mercy for her. It was wrong to put pity on the witch, especially when now Jedrek's focus shifted on her before she even realized it.

Lilac was about to approach Violet who was writhing under the bookshelf. But before she could make her move towards her direction, she felt her hand was grabbed forcefully by Jedrek. And the next thing she knew was when she was being dragged out of the library by the hand of the one who was believed to be her mate.

The Alpha king couldn't control his strength, and even doubled it with Lilac's attempt on breaking free from his grip. It only made things worse. His grip then became deadly, he could hear the sound of cracking bones under his pressure. Lilac screamed in agony. The pain was almost unbearable for her to endure. She heard that eerie cracking sound too. Jedrek had broken her left arm.

Only then, Jedrek let her go. She fell down crashing the ground. She bit her bottom lips while clutching her left arm, trying hard to prevent herself from screaming in pain. Meanwhile, Jedrek didn't do anything to help his mate, who was currently suffering in pain in front of his eyes. Yet, his clenched jaw showed a little bit of emotion that he felt. But it didn't last so long.

They were approached by a crowds of guards. "Your Majesty, Sir." One of the guards stepped forward, he didn't know what to do with the situation. The only thing that they stared at was the vicious girl, who destroyed the great hall the other day. She was kneeling on the ground, bending her body while sobbing in pain.

"Throw her to the dungeon," Jedrek said and then he turned around to walk back into the library. She had one thing left to deal with. It shouldn't be left undone. The witch. He had enough with this creature, she had been deemed to be useless nowadays. It was time to get rid of her.
