Chapter 838 - TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT

Kai looked up at the sky, and the dark clouds which were still blocking the sunlight. It had been three days since the sky turned very gloomy like this. There was no rain, but the daylight had turned into night… no one could explain this phenomena.

The cold wind blew and the leaves fell from the trees. This almost felt like fall season, but it looked murkier and made everyone feel depressed only by looking this atmosphere.

Kai closed his eyes and felt his heart heavy for unknown reasons, he had been feeling dejected and the fight between Casey and Connor only got worse.

Jammie, who was sitting beside him in the second class didn't look better either. It only added to his bad feeling.

Everything seemed not right with all of this…

And once again a rumbling thunder from the sky could be heard, though there was no rain that would fall down.

============== 

"Brother, are you sure, you will not come?" Stephan asked his brother Reynold. "The Donovans had met with each other to prepare for the up coming war. What will you do?"

Reynold was staring at the gloomy sky from their castle. Even from here, he could clearly feel the dark aura that was emanating from the city. There was something evil which was spreading like a famine in it.

"We will not do anything," Reynold said. "Torak promised us to get us our female, but he didn't do it. The devil promised us to release our female, but they did not do that either," he said through gritted teeth and balled his fists in anger.

The Lucifer promised Stephan that he would let him to meet with their last female, but he lied, which was not something new if it was coming from the devil itself.

It was them, who had been stupid enough to trust those wretched creatures.

"What about the war? Which side will we choose?" Stephan asked carefully, looking at his brother, who seemed like he would burn into flames.

However, Reynold said nothing but kept staring at the gloomy sky and turned deaf ear to the thunder that rumbled between the dark clouds.

This was just the beginning.

============== 

Lilac had woken up and appeared slightly better, though Jedrek still not allowed her to leave the bedroom.

Since a few people were inside the room to look after Lilac, such as Raphael and Lana, Eaton, Calleb, along with the other guardian angels, Jedrek agreed to leave her side and went to the dungeon with Torak and Kace to meet with Chiron.

They have two smattering problems that kept building up every passing second, thus they had to start with sorting out which one they had to handle first.

Since the guards had been killed on the other day, when the strange black rain poured down the city, and most of them had gone missing, they brought all the people from Torak's pack and the people who came for Kace, to reside inside the castle.

The people from the town nearby, who were attacked by the rogues, had started to rebuild the place and everything seemed under control as they tightened the security around that area.

However, the cases of missing people among the citizens had spread to the other regions. Now, it was not only this city or the small city nearby, but there were also a few cases in the west and south regions too.

Jedrek could no longer cover it up, especially when those missing people were managed to be found by the citizens and returned to their families.

However, from the information they got, those people had lost their beasts. They were now became the broken shifters. The shifters without the souls of their beast.

At this rate, if they didn't make a move fast, things would only get worse.

The people, who had been touched by the devil were among his citizens. They were now akin to ticking time bombs. No one could predict what would happen to those people when the devils decided to use them.

Therefore, the only thing that Jedrek could do now was to ask his people to keep their eyes on them.

"What will you do to him?" Kace asked casually, but Jedrek and Torak could feel the concealed tension behind his voice, yet they didn't say anything about it.

"Ask him," Jedrek replied curtly, but it didn't answer his question.

"And after you ask him?" Kace asked again, he was afraid to hear the answer, as he could already guess what it would be, but he had to.

"Kill him," Jedrek replied again, as they turned another corner in the dungeon.

It was dark and the atmosphere here was damp.

"Is it possible for you to not kill him?" Kace asked again and he got a glare from Torak, who was walking beside him, while Jedrek walked ahead of them.

"No," Jedrek said, he kept his answer short.

Kace closed his eyes and heaved a heavy sigh. That wasn't even a question. "What about Carina and Zarrn?"

Zarrn and Carina had been locked in two different cells while Chiron was in another separate cell, and they had not been able to talk with each other since the day they were brought to this castle.

Jedrek didn't answer that immediately, but he gave some thought to it. "Carina will die along with the chief. For the other centaur, it will depend on what answer he choose to give."

Kace was about to talk again, but Torak held his arm and stopped him. "If you don't want to be here, you can go."

Kace didn't need to be there, since he was too emotional for this, but their younger brother insisted to come along.

"No," he refused. "I want to hear his reason too."

"You don't have to," Jedrek said sharply, he stopped walking and turned around to face his brother. "You know what exactly was his reason for whatever he had done."

"Then why don't you give them a second chance?" Kace narrowed his eyes. "You are not in the right either."

"I am not, but two wrongs don't make a right," jedrek said.
