Chapter 692 - MEETING KACE

Jedrek's first order was indeed to kill the guardian angel, who would be Kace's mate, but the second order was only to find Kace and his mate whereabouts.

However, Maximus interpreted his order differently and went extra miles to kill the younger Donovan, which Jedrek never ordered him to do like that.

"You have to kill him," Killian said. "Maximus has been a b*tch for decades."

"No, we can't do that," Eaton rejected the idea.

"And why he can't do that? I wonder why you didn't finish him off since you knew his loyalty wasn't to you." Killian looked Jedrek, asking for answer.

Yet, it was Eaton, who explained to him. "Maximus's influence in the eastern region is great, since he was the last Gregory. Those people owed him a big favor, so if we kill him, there will be a riot there and that is the last thing we need in this situation."

That was one of the reasons why Jedrek kept him alive.

"Ask Sebastian and Kyle to bring him back," Jedrek ordered Killian before he dismissed him.

"Will do," Killian said and walked out of the room.

Since Jedrek was no longer under the influence of his father or the devils that stayed under his roof, that fact made the burden on his mind a little less. However, he still needed to face the reality that the blame was on him regarding the death of Janus and Diana.

No matter what Eaton said to sugarcoat that fact, it didn't make the Alpha King felt better even in the slightest.

No one would know about this and it was something he would have to deal with throughout his eternal life.

"Jedrek, what you will do to Maximus?" Eaton asked Jedrek carefully. This King had been less and less talking recently and Eaton was having a hard time to guess what was inside his mind.

"The thing that I should have done long time ago." Jedrek gave him a questionable answer.

"Jedrek, you know what will happen if you kill him." Eaton tried to remind Jedrek the thing that he had known very clear.

Jedrek raised his head and stared into Eaton's eyes coldly. "I killed both my parents, do you think there will be someone else that I am reluctant to kill?"

He had done many atrocity acts, thus if he had to rule with more blood in his hands, so be it.

He had lost his soul anyway.

He didn't need his soul, he just wanted to make everything went according to his plan.

============== 

Raine's eyes locked on the white beast that prowled toward her, bared his fangs dangerously. She didn't make any movement, afraid that the lycan before her would misinterpret her reaction and attacked her.

However, at the same time her mind worked very fast, as she knew who the white beast was.

"Kace?" Raine called his name and the beast stopped in his track. "You are Kace Donovan, right?"

They came to this place to look for him, even though Raine didn't know how Kace Donovan looked like, but in his white fur, the beast was definitely Torak's younger brother.

The beast squinted his blue eyes, which to Raine relief, his human side was in full control, thus there was nothing to be worry about it. Hopefully.

"I came here with Torak to look for you," Raine was trying to explain herself since Kace refused to shift back into his human form. "I am Raine. Torak's mate."

Raine sat there with her back pressed against the tree, watching the white beast circled her and crept closer. Its snout touched Raine's hand and she cowered away. It felt strange, though the beast looked exactly like Torak's, but she knew it was not him and the absent of the spark between them only made Raine felt the bizzareness.

However, in the next second, the white beast shifted into his human form before her eyes and in another second, there was a man, with almost the same feature like Torak, even they shared the same blue eyes, kneeling in front of her.

"You smell like him," Kace groaned. This girl was indeed Torak's mate. He could see Torak's mark that peeked on her neck.

In one glance, one could be mistaken this man from Torak, but in closer look, he was nothing like his older brother.

Torak gave off a cold and dominance aura, but Kace was akin to a careless young guy with unruly nature. Though, Raine was still thinking Torak was way more handsome than him, but it was her subjective opinion, as Torak was her mate.

"I don't think I smell like him." Raine sniffed herself, but she couldn't smell anything, she didn't even know what her own smell was like.

"What are you doing here?" Kace stood up and glanced down at Raine. He assessed the girl before his eyes and found the similarity between her and Hope.

Both of the guardian angels had the same long black hair color and black bright eyes, yet Raine looked so timid and easily scared while Hope was more cheeky and buoyant.

"I don't know either," Raine said softly, she stood up and Kace could see how small she was. Did Torak not give her enough food? But, then Kace remembered Hope also only slightly taller than her.

"What do you mean you don't know?" Kace looked around him and sniffed the air, but he couldn't find Torak's scent anywhere, which was very strange. It was impossible he would leave his mate alone in this woods. "Where is him?"

"We…" Raine couldn't finish her words when she watched in horror three or four human with horse body, emerged from the dense trees. She shrieked and hid behind Kace's back. "What is that?"

"Centaur," Kace answered curtly, he glanced at Raine, "what are you doing?" Raine didn't answer him, her eyes fixed on the strange creatures in front of her. "You don't need to be afraid, they are the cutest creatures here."
