Lilac didn't know what kind of response that she had to show upon hearing Jedrek's words. How could he kill his own general without batting an eye!?
"You lie," Lilac spoke through her greeted teeth, her voice was shaking because of the anger that coursed through her veins.
"I am sorry that I didn't keep his head to prove my words."Jedrek's eyes fixed on Lilac, who was standing on the other side of the bed.
"You bastard!" All the dizziness and wooziness disappeared, as her eyes shone brightly with enmity. Even the word hatred was not sufficient to describe what she felt now. "I hope you rot in hell! You are monster!!!" Lilac screamed on the top of her lungs, she didn't even care when she hurt her throat.
"Monster?" Jedrek tilted his head, his eyes darkened when he heard that words from his mate. "Yes, I am. You just realized it, my mate?"
"Bastard!" Lilac screamed again, her black eyes blazed with fury.
"You told me that before." Jedrek didn't show any emotion, neither Lilac's anger bothered him. Tha Alpha walked toward the table near him and poured a glass of water. "Here, drink this, so you can scream all you want."
"Now I do understand why the moon goddess cursed you for not having a mate." Lilac hissed viciously as she moved toward the door, ready to escape in the first chance she got.
"Really?" Jedrek raised his brows. "Please, enlighten me."
"You don't deserve an ounce of love. You have a nasty soul. You are the most loathsome person that I ever met." Lilac made sure every word were enunciated carefully, so Jedrek could feel her repulsion in every single words that came out from her mouth. "Even the devil looks like an angel compared to you."
And for the next five minutes, Lilac tried to get on Jedrek's nerves, to make him feel the same amount of anger that she felt now.
However, it was only a waste of time. Jedrek didn't seem hurt by her words. Hell! He didn't even change his facial expression when Lilac spat all the profanities that she knew.
And when Lilac lost for words and hyperventilated because she couldn't handle her emotion, Jedrek leaned his back against the table and crossed his arms in front of his chest, staring at Lilac apathetically. "Go on. Are you done?"
"I hope you rot in hell!" Lilac screamed again, as her fingers brushed the doorknob behind her back.
"Trust me, you are not the first to hope like that," Jedrek said calmly.
Despite all the hatred between the two of them, the Alpha King looked more calm and talkative compared to himself a few days ago when he faced Lilac.
Lilac couldn't stand to be near this monster, she needed to go. Everywhere was fine as long as she could get away from him.
Hence, with her right hand, she turned the doorknob and ready to take her leave, spared herself from repulsion. However, as much as she wanted to go, she forgot that Jedrek would have killed her if he let her go easily. There must be something that he wanted from her. Needed from her.
The door was locked and no matter how hard Lilac tried, she couldn't break it.
Meanwhile, Jedrek approached her with leisure steps, chuckled darkly upon seeing his mate attempt to escape from this place.
"Why? Do you want to go to meet your lover? Are you so angry that you want to leave and can't stand being around me?" Jedrek asked rhetorically.
Lilac turned around and faced Jedrek, as she smirked deviantly. "Why? Can't you tell from my expression? Should I tell you out loud that being near you is really disgusting?"
"Then you will have to find a way to bear with it because I have no intention of letting go of you soon," Jedrek said icily. "I do apologize for killing your lover, I should have waited until you are awake, so you can see with your own eyes what the consequences of betraying me."
"You don't deserve loyalty, Jedrek." Lilac bit back. She didn't want to back down, even when she didn't have her power to protect her from Jedrek's wrath.
"And what happened to Tordoff will be their end too." Jedrek gritted his teeth when he shoved Lilac away, so he could open the door and disappeared behind it.
However, when Lilac was about to open it again right after Jedrek, the door had been locked. She was sure, Jedrek wouldn't have time to lock it.
"What is this!?" Lilac tried to turn the knob, but the door didn't budge. She kicked it, but nothing happened.
The door obviously made of wood, but she couldn't bend it with her power. She couldn't feel it. There was something wrong here, or maybe it was because her arm had not yet healed?
"What is this place?"
***
Jedrek opened his eyes and tilted his head as he watched Lilac was fast asleep beside him. Her breathing was irregular and her brows knitted tightly.
The Alpha stretched out his hand and smoothened the wrinkle between her brows. His thumb brushed her forehead carefully.
There was tranquility in the air when Jedrek stared at his sleeping mate silently. No one would know what was inside his mind right now, but from the way he laid his eyes on her, one could say there was a faint helplessness and regret.
"Your majesty." A man walked inside the room and broke the spell, forced Jedrek to withdraw his attention from Lilac. "My apologize for the interruption."
"What is it Eaton?" Jedrek sat down swiftly and got out of bed.
"The mind reader asked, how long you will keep her unconscious?" Eaton was Janus's beta, but now he pledged his loyalty to the current sovereign. He knew everything just like how Jedrek knew all the dark secrets in the Donovan's family. "Because he needs to make a preparation if you want her to be in this state longer."
