Chapter 817 - PROVOCATION

"WHAT IS GOING ON!?? EXPLAIN IT TO ME FIRST!" Kace roared at his brother as he tried to twist Jedrek's hand away from him again while kicking his abdomen, only then did Jedrek released him.

As he finally managed to break free from Jedrek's vice like deathly grip, Kace rolled his body away on the ground, trying to avoid him. In case this lunatic of a brother of his would pounce on him again.

However, Jedrek didn't chase him and stood still, with his whole body trembling violently to contain his anger. His red eyes viciously glared at his brother.

"What's the matter with you!?" Kace rubbed his neck and watched as the wounds on Jedrek's face healed, leaving traces of blood that smeared across his devilish face.

"The centaur kidnapped my mate! That's what happened!" Jedrek emphasized every word that he spitted. He looked like someone, who would attack in any moment, thus Kace had to stay away from him. Out of his reach.

"Alright."Kace raised his arms. "I know that."

He should have known that Jedrek had realized this from the reaction he gave earlier.

"You know!?" Jedrek strode toward Kace, gritted his teeth as his fists balled. "You knew and you let that happen?!" He snarled and was very angry when Kace tried to run away from him. Of course, he would do that, any sane creature would do the same when they saw the way Jedrek's look now. "I should have killed you a long time ago, so you wouldn't bring those filthy creatures into my territory!!!"

"Kill me now then!" Kace stopped walking away. He stood still and watched as Jedrek came closer to him and his eyes bored into his. The young Donovan didn't even budge when Jedrek tried to strangle him once again.

"I will kill you!" Jedrek hissed, yet the expression on Kace's face didn't change even in the slightest.

"You have been trying to kill me and my mate since as long as I can remember. Don't you think this is your Karma?!" Kace spat those words and glowered at Jedrek, trying to catch his breath. This was a dangerous bet that he made, trying to provoke the livid beast to his limit. "Now you know how it feels to have your mate in danger. Congratulations," Kace jeered.

That was not a wise move what Kace could have chosen at this moment, but he felt a sudden impulse to mock at his brother and this even surprised him that he liked the way Jedrek's face turned black and his canines elongated.

The fury in his expression made Kace to mock him even more with fervent.

"Why? You don't like it? You had killed her, remember? So, what is different now?" Kace gasped for air, but he managed to say that in between through his gritted teeth.

"YOU!"Jedrek was lost for words as anger consumed every inch of his being, boiled his beast's blood. And, there was nothing he wanted to do now except to wipe away that taunting smile from Kace's face.

Jedrek raised his hand and was about to knock Kace's head off his shoulders with his sharp- razor claws when someone held his arm.

"ENOUGH!" Raphael shouted. He used all of his strength to stop Jedrek, while Calleb tried to pull Kace away from the danger.

"Are you crazy!?" Calleb admonished Kace for his stupid act, at the same time, trying to save his life.

Even with the two of them, trying to intervene between the two brothers, it didn't seem enough to overpower Jedrek. Not to mention Kace did nothing except provoking Jedrek with his mocking, triumphant smile.

At first, Kace didn't want to do this to his brother, since he knew how it felt to have your mate's lifebeing in danger. However, it was Jedrek, who provoked him first.

He didn't even feel sorry for what he had done all this time, regardless of the order not coming from him, but their father, yet he should show some basic decent emotions, at the very least.

"Hei! Can you stop smiling like that?" Calleb gritted his teeth, even he felt like he wanted to punch this lycan. "We are trying to save your a** dude! At least, cooperate!"

Only then, Kace glanced briefly at the Gamma and shifted back his attention toward his brother. "I know someone, who knows where is Lilac. If you kill me now, you will get nothing."

Kace had seen that Calleb and Raphael were coming in their way, it wasn't a reckless move to provoke his brother, but it was a good timing that they managed to intervene in time. He made a bet on them and that tiny-weeny, little soft spot that Jedrek still had for his brother.

The king would have crushed his neck easily if he wanted to, especially when Kace didn't fight back, but he didn't.

On the other hand, upon hearing Kace's words, Jedrek loosened his grip and pushed him away.

"Tell me now, who the hell is this person!?" Jedrek swatted Raphael's hand, which was still holding onto him and glared at Kace.

Once again, Kace escaped Jedrek's vicious attack. He couldn't answer his question immediately, as he was gasping to breathe.

Kace took his time to adjust his breathing before he answered Jedrek. Beside him, Calleb looked like he wanted to strangle him again for deliberately doing that.

However, when Kace spoke, he didn't talk about Carina at all. "I will tell you after I see my mate and felt sure that she is alright."

Jedrek growled, while Raphael and Calleb glared incredulously at him. Kace was truly something to toy with the king's patience like this. But then, he was the king's brother after all.

"She is fine," Raphael said. "Hope is with Torak and Lana now."

"I will decide whether she is okay or not, after I see her myself," Kace replied nonchalantly. "Only then, we will talk about your mate." He nodded at Jedrek casually.

After saying that, without waiting for permission, Kace turned around and walked toward the direction of the king's wing, where Hope's scent was strong.

Yet, to Raphael and Calleb surprise, Jedrek didn't stop him and just followed behind Kace. Yes, he looked livid, but didn't utter a single word.
