Chapter 836 - YOU NEED ME

"Because all of you need me," Serefina said in a matter of fact tone, she leaned her back against the pillar and stared at the withering away trees and flowers. There was nothing in this place that she could relate to life. Everything is dead, even the air was stalemate and suffocating.

The last time she was here, there were no flowers near the castle, since she hated them, Jedrek had never planted them when she moved here and lived with him.

However, though those flowers could no longer survive this wicked atmosphere, the witch could see that this place originally was filled with flowers. Those were decorated in every corner of this place.

No need to ask, who had done that. It must be that flower girl.

"In what way do you think we need you?" Lilith didn't look a little bit happy when she learned that Serefina joined their camp and no one bothered to raise an objection.

Serefina just scoffed at the question, without giving her any answer.

"I heard that the centaur failed to kill one of the guardian angels." Lilith didn't stop to talk and now she was trying to provoke her. "I will not be surprised if in the end we figure out you have something to do with it."

"What do you mean I have something to do with it?" Serefina raised her brows, but her expression didn't give away what was inside her mind. "You want to say that I am the one who stopped the time?"

Lilith squinted her eyes. She had heard about the guardian angel who could stop the time and it was Raine, after all they had met several times in the past.

So, it was her who had stopped the time and saved her fellow guardian angel…

"You taught her how to do that," Lilith spoke, her tone was dripping with accusation and this only made Serefina laugh loudly.

"You are very funny, aren't you?" the witch sneered and gave her a pity look. "Stopping the time, controlling the nature and seeing the spirits are those guardian angels abilities."

Lilith gritted her teeth. She didn't like it when this witch acted like this, as if she knew everything and the devils didn't.

"They were born with that gift from Selene herself, as the guardian angels. It has nothing to do with me. Fortunately, Raine is still not able to control her power. Can you imagine if she takes full control of it and you can't move a single finger because the time froze around you?" she kindly informed the succubus. "You said, you don't need my help, but you don't even know about this? What a pity…"

"Of course I know about their abilities!" Lilith was very angry because Serefina had underestimated her knowledge.

"And then? What else do you know?" Serefina smirked. "What will you do when she froze the time again? Let yourself being killed?" The witch then covered her mouth. "Ups! I don't think it will be possible, since you can't die, right? Then maybe, let them play with you while you can't move?"

The thought of it pissed Lilith off. That would be the greatest humiliation if that really happened and Raine managed to do that to them.

"You should kill her before you join us to prove your loyalty," Lilith scowled. "You are very close to her and even had been protecting her for years now."

"Why should we kill her when we can use them?" it was Lucifer, who suddenly appeared out of thin air, and was standing right behind Serefina now and from the moment he started talking, the witch could feel the coldness from his presence. "This witch over here will help us with it, right?"

Even if Serefina did feel something, she didn't show it on her face, instead she spoke calmly and ignored the coldness that ran down her spine.

"As long as you give me your trust, let's see what I can do for you," she said simply.

"For that, you should prove yourself." Lucifer walked in front of Serefina and gazed down at her. "What can you do for us?"

"Do you have what I asked for?" Serefina flicked her red hair behind her shoulder. Both of them stared into each other eyes, ignoring Lilith's presence near them.

"All the witches and vampires from the northern coven realm are yours to control." Lucifer stretched out his hand and caressed Serefina's cheek, and the witch had to muster all of her strength not to shudder out of disgust. "As long as you can make us immune to Raine's power."

Serefina swatted Lucifer's hand from her face and smiled harmlessly. "What are you waiting for? Let's do it then."

============== 

"Were you out of your mind?" Kace scowled, he shook his head in disbelief while walking behind Calleb, who was being comforted by Raine and Hope. "'I can mark her', you said?!"

"Don't yell at him." Raine frowned at Kace over her shoulder. "He is not in a good mood now."

Sophia totally lost it when Calleb threw that thoughtless remark at her. She lashed out at the Gamma. One should know that female shifters could turn scarier than an angry beast when it came to their pups.

And unfortunately, Calleb picked the wrong line to say. Just like what he always thought, his mouth could be the death of him and he felt like dying now when he watched his mate being taken away by her brothers, while he could do nothing to stop them.

"Brother, did you pick the right Gamma?" Kace turned to look at Torak beside him. "Why is he very clueless?" he asked in disbelieve.

"Some people need to learn it in the hard way to truly understand the value of something." Torak said casually, as they walked toward the castle for lunch.

"You really didn't help at all," Kace sneered.

All of sudden, Calleb stopped walking and turned around to face Kace, his expression was very miserable.

"How long do you think Sophia will remain angry with me?" Calleb asked expectantly.

Kace's brows creased. "Don't get your expectations too high, she likes holding grudges for long-terms. Like really really long-terms" He patted his shoulder in sympathy.
