The Love of a Lycan Chapter 787 – THE NIGHT BEFORE THE MATING CEREMONY (4)

“Impossible,” Raphael mumbled and Lana frowned beside him. Then her gaze landed on Serefina worriedly from where she shifted her attention to the door, as if she was waiting for someone to come.

“Why are they here…” Calleb mumbled. He sniffed the air and was very sure it was them. “Did you invite them to come here?”

“Invite who to come?” Lilac asked, but from their reaction, more or less she could guess, who they were talking about.

It didn’t take long before some familiar faces walked into the tavern, but this time, the owner immediately rushed over to greet them.

Walking into the tavern were Jedrek, Torak and Kace. Not only the three Donovans, but also the leader of the hunter, Delta accompanied with the two Alphas from Torak’s pack; Alpha Brian and Alpha Ralph.

On the other hand, Serefina and Lilac were caught out off guard with this strange coincidence.

Why are they all here?! And of all places, why here?! This was not good.

Lilac glanced at Serefina, but immediately averted her eyes when their gazes met. The witch also did the same thing.

“Torak,” Raine rose to her feet when she saw her mate and pounced on him happily.

“Why are you here? Didn’t I tell you to stay in the castle?” Torak reprimanded her lightly, but he was more than gleeful to see his mate here. His plan was to just have a glass or two and then head back to the castle, but Torak wouldn’t have thought he would meet Raine here.

“Calleb coerced me to come,” Raine pointed her finger to the Gamma, who widened his eyes in surprise.

It was true that Calleb had persuaded her to come here, but the way Raine phrased her words, it sounded like Calleb had done something bad to her and threatened her to come with him.

Of course, Torak’s reaction was almost predictable. The Alpha glowered at him and was about to have one on one conversation, if it was not for Raine, who hugged him tightly.

Calleb grimaced, it seemed Raine was getting back at him because he didn’t listen to her earlier. She became very good, creating misunderstandings like this with her angelic face and innocent eyes.

Well, this was not the first time Raine did this to him. 

“It’s okay, I think it is good for me to go out. I met you here.” Raine tiptoed and kissed Torak’s cheeks lightly.

“Right, Raine is right.” Calleb didn’t waste this opportunity to find an escape way from Torak’s wrath. “If I didn’t bring her here, you wouldn’t have met her.”

“I can meet her in the castle, any time I want,” Torak said it in a matter of fact tone.

“Ah… that…” Calleb stammered and looked at Raine, asking for help, but the guardian angel only laughed upon seeing his troubled expression.

“Let’s sit there, it is nice that we all are here at the same time,” Raine coaxed her mate and pulled him back to their table, which was now crowded with a lot of people.

They needed to join three more tables, in order to accommodate everyone comfortably.

Fortunately, no one noticed the king was here, most of the people thought Jedrek was very rare to go out of his castle. Moreover, another reason why Jedrek chose to visit this tavern was because this place often didn’t have many customers and was in a secluded place. It was perfect for someone like him.

Jedrek chose to sit next to Lilac while Serefina stayed where she was sitting before. However, it put her right across Jedrek. She cursed herself for agreeing to stay in this place. She should have left when she had a chance, now it would be awkward if she left just like that.

When she thought back to that, she couldn’t take it any longer and was about to stand up to excuse herself, when she felt Kace’s hand on her shoulder. When she turned to face him, she saw him asking her to stay with his eyes.

Both Kace and Hope were sitting at her left and right sides while grinning foolishly at her. Serefina really wanted to punch the couple really hard for making her stay, yet she didn’t want to make a scene that would embarrass her further.

Next to Hope was Raine and Torak while Raphael sat on Torak’s right side with Lana.

At first, the situation was quite awkward for all of them, but soon the tense air lightened when Kace and Calleb started to bicker.

“Why did you bring my mate out?” Kace glared at Calleb, who was sitting right beside him. “And why do you sit next to me? Find another chair.”

“Can someone separate them before they flip all the three tables?” Raphael looked at Delta.

The hunter shoved both hot headed lycans aside and sat between them.

“Oh, please! It is your mate idea to have a bachelorette party when she herself even didn’t know what it means,” Calleb complained dramatically. “She invited us to come here.”

“And why did you agree?” Kace glared at Calleb, but Hope just laughed at them. “You should tell them to stay and don’t go anywhere.”

“We are not some prisoners,” Lilac chimed in. She crossed her arms in front of her chest, as she looked at Kace defiantly. “Why can’t we go out sometimes? It is very boring to stay inside the room the whole day.”

“See? I like her,” Calleb spoke gleefully, he raised his hand and opened his fingers. “Give me five!” he asked for Lilac to do the same and the guardian angel giggled while raising her hand as well.

However, before their hands could touch each other, Jedrek had slapped Calleb’s hand first, really hard until the Gamma whimpered clutching his hand to his chest.

“You want to break my hand?!” Calleb complained while massaging his wrist. He looked at Jedrek in disbelief.

“Your Gamma is too weak, you should train him more,” Jedrek spoke to Torak casually while Kace smirked.

Meanwhile, Serefina felt her heart caving in to see how Jedrek reacted to someone who wanted to touch his mate.

And then, they spent the entire night bickering.
