Chapter 913 - VENTING OUT HIS ANGER

Jedrek shifted back and thundered. "I TOLD YOU NOT TO LEAVE THE CASTLE!"

His brother's roar rang in Torak's head, as he tried to stand up and face him again. The wound on his face started to heal, but the blood on his clothes couldn't be removed.

"HOW DARE YOU??? LEAVING THE CASTLE ON YOUR WHIM AND WILL!!!" Jedrek couldn't hold back his anger and pulled Torak from the ground, by his collar before he punched him hard on the left side of his face, where the wound just healed.

A sick sound resounded when Jedrek's fist met with Torak's face, the sound of cracking bones indicating that yet another wound was split open now.

"WHY DON'T YOU EVER LISTEN?!" Jedrek approached Torak again when his brother got up and delivered another punch even before the latter could stand on his feet properly. "NOW, ARE YOU HAPPY TO SEE ALL THE DAMAGE SOLELY RESULTED FROM YOURDEFIANCE?!"

Torak gritted his teeth with his eyes closed shut tightly when he was about to receive yet another blow from Jedrek, but even after waiting for a while he didn't feel any pain.

And when he finally opened his eyes, Torak saw Jedrek's fist hanging in the air, stopping just before it reached its target.

"Do you know how many people had died because of your carelessness?!"Jedrek emphasized his every word, one by one as he glared at his brother viciously.

His anger was palpable in his blazing red orbs.

"Is an apology sufficient?" Torak finally spoke.

Truth be told, Jedrek's words hurt more than every single punch he received. Those people, who died in the castle, lost their lives because of his order.

His arrogant thinking led him to believe that everything would be all right when he returned, he thought it was not a problem to leave that castle for three or four days.

Torak was too arrogant or more precisely naïve for thinking that the devils would let this chance slip through their fingers.

They attacked right after the minute the three Donovans were separated.

"If venting out your anger on me could make you feel better, do it." Torak didn't have any intention to challenge Jedrek. He just wanted to feel better himself.

At the end of the day, the responsibility of all the souls that were lost in that unexpected battle which they failed to foresee, was on him and he deserved every single punch and accusation from his elder brother.

Jedrek roared, he grinded his teeth until they both could hear the sound of it, but the king didn't do what his brother asked him.

Jedrek pushed Torak away harshly from him, until he stumbled, but it was not enough to make the Alpha trip.

"Do you think by punching you, I will be able to bring them back to life?!" Jedrek snarled, he gnashed his teeth again.

"I lost my Beta and my Gamma went missing," Torak said, wiping away the blood from his face. "Did that make you feel any better?"

"And I lost my people because of you," Jedrek said with venom on the tip of his tongue. He meant his words to be very harsh, as he put all the blame on Torak's shoulders. "Did that make you feel any worse?"

Torak didn't talk back. He just stood there and looked at his brother punching the trees around them and growled loudly to vent out the various emotions that he felt right now.

All his suppressed emotions that he couldn't let Lilac see firsthand.

There were a few things that Jedrek didn't want Lilac to know, and one of them was when he ran rampant like the monster he was now.

On the other hand, Torak watched silently how Jedrek did whatever it's necessary for him to ease his pain.

It wasn't that Torak didn't feel anything at all, he just couldn't express it the way Jedrek expressed himself.

His loss of a best friend who had accompanied him for years, his Beta and many people from his pack, couldn't be ascribed in words.

Even a million words of apology was far from enough.

============== 

Raine and Lilac waited for their mates to comeback.

They knew the conversation between them wouldn't run smoothly, as they were a lot of things that would touch their wrecking nerves.

But, Raine gasped loudly when she noticed that a lot of blood stained Torak's clothes, it almost looked as if his clothes were drenched in red paint.

Even Lilac couldn't hide her astonishment, she thought that the two of them met with an enemy leading them to fight, thus her eyes darted toward Jedrek immediately and she frowned in confusion when she found that her mate was totally fine.

There was only a little blood on his clothes, which was Torak's, sprayed on him when the king was busy landing blow after blow on his brother.

"What happened?" Raine asked in a slightly trembling voice. She covered her mouth and touched her mate, looking for wounds on his body.

But, of course Torak wouldn't comeback until all of his wounds had healed, in case Raine would react even worser than now.

She would cry her heart out if she were to see how Torak looked like after Jedrek punched him for several times.

"I am all right," Torak said in a impassive voice, which sounded so distant in Raine's ears. "We need to go and find Kace before something happened on his end."

With that attack, the realm that was being ruled by Jedrek was also collapsed. Now, his people were scattered as small groups around every region, but the last thing that he heard, there was several attacks on their village, where the rogues ran rampant and killed many lycans and werewolves.

For now, all they could do was to gather what was left from that devastating attack and rethink their plan again.

Raine looked at Torak deeply, she knew that he didn't want to talk about this. Maybe, he would open up to her later…

============== 

"Beautiful creature," Beelzebub said, while staring at the phoenix that flew very low above the floor and opened its beak to breath fire.

Yet, the devil disappeared before the flames could burn her.

She reappeared on the other end of the corridor, behind the three of them and chuckled lightly. "I have been looking for you, you know?" her golden eyes stared at Hope intensely and this left the guardian angel feeling uncomfortable in her stomach.

On the other hand, Kace pulled Hope behind his back, as the fae also stepped forward to ready herself to fight this devil.

"Don't be so violent…" she said as she waved her hand.
