Chapter 726 - THE SAME WOUND LIKE HIS YOUNGER BROTHER

"The king is looking for you," Sebastian said when he met Lilac after the guardian angel was talking to Kaitsa.

For now, Kaitsa was mourning over her mate and was closely guarded so as not to harm herself, Lilac also gave an order to the guard to not give Ed to Kaitsa if she was not stable yet. Just in case she would hurt the young child like she had done earlier.

The conversation between Lilac and Kaitsa were not going pretty well, since Kaitsa refused to shift back into her human's form half- way during Lilac's monologue. Most of the talking was done by Lilac and Kaitsa didn't have any other choice except to listen to her because the situation did not allow him to speak up or fight back.

And when Lilac thought she had explained everything that Kaitsa needed to know or possibly wanted to be asked, she left her alone, mourning, with an order to the guards outside of the room.

"Why?" Lilac asked. "We will leave to the city now."

"You can ask him yourself." After saying that Sebastian walked past Lilac. "Lyrus and I will wait in front of the gates with the other guards," he said impassively.

With confusion, Lilac walked back toward Jedrek's chamber. He must have used a mind link to give his order to Sebastian.

Lilac walked under the scorching afternoon sun to across the yard and reached the king's wing. It took twenty minutes of walking and when Lilac finally arrived there, she was slightly panting and sweating. The dress that she was wearing, unfortunately, was not very thick, because she preferred something as simple as possible to make it easier to move.

The two guards, who were guarding Jedrek's chamber, nodded their head respectfully at her and opened the door.

Once Lilac entered the room, she found Jedrek was standing with his back facing her, in his hand there was a book with black cover.

"Were you looking for me?" Lilac asked, she leaned her shoulder against one of the four pillar of the bed while fanning her face.

Jedrek turned around and watched his mate flushed face, for a moment, the king didn't say anything and relished the sight.

"Why?" Lilac frowned upon being stared at. "Sebastian said you were looking for me?"

Jedrek put down the book in his hand and crossed his arms in front of his chest. He was wearing grey robe that covered almost all his body, apparently he just finished taking a bath, with a few droplets of water dripping from his wet hair.

He looked s.e.xy and this made Lilac's throat became dry.

"I want to know what you were talking to Kaitsa," Jedrek talked in soft voice. "You didn't allow anyone to be inside the room."

Lilac understood. He must be curious. "I said the truth. Maximus had been betraying you and took the devil's side, it was unforgivable crime. He challenged you for the Alpha position, so it was only right for you to take his life, since that was the rule, right?" She shrugged her shoulder.

Lilac didn't know the whole laws of lycanthropes, but she learned one or two things and a challenge for an Alpha position required that only one person could survive while the other would meet their end.

After that, Lilac explained a few things for five minutes before she concluded.

"That's all what I said to her." Lilac told everything to Jedrek.

"And what she said?" Jedrek walked closer toward Lilac and stood very close to her.

This close proximity, made Lilac slightly felt nervous. "Unfortunately, she didn't say anything." But, then she corrected her sentence. "She couldn't say anything."

Jedrek raised his eyebrows questioningly. "And why she couldn't say anything? Did you cut her tongue?"

"No. Of course not." Lilac cringed when she heard that. It was impossible she would do something horrible like that. "I tackled her down and covered her mouth so she couldn't snarl at me. So, I spent over an hour talking alone. I am sure she was listening." Lilac grinned.

"She must listen to you," Jedrek stretched out his hand and caressed her cheek tenderly.

Lilac could feel her face became warm and red. There was something about their closeness that made her heart thumping wildly and the spark between them only urged her to lean over to his touch.

"I have to go," Lilac said hoarsely, she blinked her eyes to look at Jedrek and watched his mate was looking at him intensely, the kind of gaze that she had never seen before.

"You will go with Sebastian and Lyrus, yes?" Jedrek wanted to make sure that Lilac stayed away from Tordoff.

"I will go with Sebastian and Lyrus," Lilac said.

And as if, this was a common thing for them to do, as if they had done this many times, Jedrek pinched her chin and tilted her head, as he bent his body and Lilac tiptoed to meet with his kiss.

It was an innocent kiss, only a peck on her lips, but it made Lilac's heart fluttered.

"Be careful," Jedrek whispered on her lips.

"I will," Lilac said. She opened her eyes and met Jedrek's concern gaze.

============== 

In one of the dark corner of the castle, a man, was standing beside an open window, the same window where he was standing a few nights before. From the grey cloak with firebird encrusted on the back of it, one could say he was one of Jedrek's generals.

The general was waiting, waiting for the same muffling sound and when he could hear it, a smirk crept on his lips.

This voice sounded like human, but their tones were hard to comprehend. The sound was akin to fingernails scrapped a chalkboard.

The whisper came from a shadow like a smoke.

"He is injured and the wounds don't seem to heal, just like his younger brother." He nodded and grinned. "The guardian angel will go to the city."
