The Love of a Lycan Chapter 811 – THE MISSING GUARDIAN ANGEL

“Nothing,” Belphegor said innocently, as he picked up Raine’s body and placed her on the bed. “Just a goodbye kiss.”

“You should just kill her,” Asmodeus said grumpily, she didn’t care about the fact, that the Sloth had just kissed the guardian angel. “Lucifer will be happy.”

“I am not here to make him happy. Moreover, we need them alive.” Belphegor shrugged his shoulders and approached the witch, who was standing near the door. “I don’t believe it that you are willing to come with us.” He gave Serefina a suspicious glance.

“You don’t have to believe it, you just need to accept it,” Serefina replied nonchalantly and walked out of the room. She took another brief glance at Raine before she left.

“Cold-hearted witch,” Belphegor muttered under his breath. “Why did you have to bring her with us?” he asked Asmodeus.

“I like the deep love she has for the king of lycanthropes. Her feelings are interesting,” Asmodeus replied with a smile on her red lips as her golden eyes shone brightly.

============== 

Hope stopped to catch her breath. She could feel her lungs almost exploding from lack of oxygen, yet her eyes continued to scan the empty corridor.

Why couldn’t she see anyone in this castle? This was as if the whole place was deserted. Not even a single soul could be found visible in this enormous castle while Hope chased after Chiron relentlessly.

And now, she lost him!

Why must Chiron bring Lilac away and betray them? This question kept flashing in her head. However, Hope had a hunch that it must have something to do with what happened in the past between Jedrek and the centaurs.

Chiron hadn’t gotten over it yet? He didn’t do any harm to Kace in the past, when he got several chances at that too.

Yet, just like Chiron always said to Kace whenever her mate felt guilty for his crime; it wasn’t him that had killed his mate. Right. It was Jedrek!

So, what was Chiron about to do now? Kill Lilac, just like how Jedrek killed his mate?

“No,” Hope mumbled, she shook her head to clear that idea, but once that thought flashed in her mind, this theory got engraved in her head refusing to leave her thoughts and it scared her even further.

Hope had a mixed feeling for what Chiron did, yet no matter what was the reason, she couldn’t justify his action if he did it for what she thought he would do about. This was insane!

Hope’s eyes crazily tried to find Chiron, or at least which way he took Lilac. However, she totally lost him.

She couldn’t find the centaur anywhere, not even the sound of his hooves.

Gritting her teeth, Hope rushed toward one of the corridor, which she blindly chose, she just hoped that she would be lucky enough to choose the right path.

Yet, it didn’t seem like it.

Hope went to the part of the castle that she had never been to before.

“CHIRON!” Hope shouted, her voice laced with anger and fear. “CHIRON WHERE ARE YOU!?” The guardian angel was desperate to find the centaur.

Right at that time, when she was about to give up, Hope heard two rushing footsteps approaching her from a different corridor, therefore, she walked back toward the source of the sound and found Raphael and Lana.

“Lana! Raphael!” Hope felt a sudden relief washed over her frame as she ran toward Lana and hugged her tightly.

However, she could feel Lana’s stiffened body as Raphael pulled her back slightly. “What happened?” he asked in concern. “Where are Raine and Lilac?”

Raphael came toward this direction because he smelled her scent and was wondering what Hope had been doing here, since this place was a little bit far from the king’s wing.

Moreover, she was alone, when she should be with Raine and Lilac.

“Chiron,” Hope said, trying to catch her breath. “Chiron took Lilac!” she was panicking.

“The centaur?” Raphael frowned. “But, why would he take her?” Wasn’t the centaur was among the people that came here for Kace?

Hope bit her lips, she looked hesitant to tell him, but in the end, this was not something that she should be hiding.

“Chiron apparently crossed sides. He is with the devil,” Hope muttered and when the words left her mouth she felt even worse to know that was the truth.

“No way!” Lana was in denial, but she didn’t completely distrust Hope. It was because she also knew Chiron for quite some time and during that time, the chief of the centaurs did nothing, but treated them nicely, therefore to actually hear that he had chose to betray them was something that was hard to believe.

“I know it sounds odd, I can’t believe it either.” Hope bit her lips and fidgeted.

When Hope and Lana were still trying to discern the decision made by Chiron, Raphael urged them to focus on their current predicament. “Which direction did Chiron took?”

“I don’t know, I lost them,” Hope looked around her frantically. “Can’t you smell their scent?”

Raphael sniffed the air and shook his head, frowning. “Except your scent, I don’t smell any other scent here.” It was almost impossible. Did Chiron take different route and Hope wandered too far from them until he couldn’t pick up their scent at all?

Beside the Beta, Lana did the same. “I can’t smell anything too. Except your scent, of course.”

“Why can’t you smell them?” Hope was confused as well, but she remembered something immediately. “The cloak!”

“What cloak?” Raphael shifted his attention to Hope.

“The purple cloak that Lidya gave to me,” Hope said in hurry, she turned to look at Lana and her confused expression made Hope realize that Lana couldn’t pick up what she meant by the purple cloak, thus she had to remind her again. “The purple cloak that Lidya gave to me before we entered the northern coven realm, to cover my scent, so no creatures could smell me. Chiron used the same cloak to cover their scent.”

Lana narrowed her eyes, she remembered that stupid cloak.

“Where is Raine?” Raphael asked.

Only then did Hope realize that Raine was not with her, in fact she didn’t even remember Raine following her. “I thought she was behind me when I ran out of the room chasing after Chiron.” Her expression became dreadful.
