The Love of a Lycan Chapter 671 – SHE IS AWAKE

“The castle is under attack,” Eaton repeated his words and managed to make Jedrek to stop for a while.

“I know,” he replied in the same hollow voice. “I can feel that. Sebastian and Kyle are in the castle to take care of it.”

There was nothing major about this attack. It was only a few rogues that conspired with unhappy citizen to break through the castle once they heard Jedrek and his generals were not there, to look for their family member.

Most of the citizens were the people who had been long dissatisfied with the way Jedrek ruled this realm. Old problem.

“What you will do with them?” Eaton asked.

“Them?”

“The rebellion.”

“Kill them, of course,” Jedrek replied in matter of fact.

“You will destroy this kingdom.” Eaton’s eyes hardened, when he realized what Jedrek was about to do.

“My father had destroyed it when he made a deal with the devil, I just prolong it.” Jedrek scoffed and he knew he was saying the right thing when Eaton stopped confronting him.

“What will you do? Do you not trust me enough to share it with me?” Eaton narrowed his eyes.

“I will not leave her with you, if I don’t trust you,” Jedrek replied before he closed the door behind him.

He had made his point very clear. His statement not only said he trusted Eaton, but also explained indirectly that Lilac’s life mattered to him.

Maybe the Alpha was not aware that his words had conveyed his feeling more than what he wanted to show.

============== 

“Let’s stop this hide and seek game and come out, will you?” Kace’s voice sounded boring, but it didn’t lack its fierceness when he glared at the end of the dark alley.

The second Donovan had felt his presence since a year ago and had been trying to avoid him. This man had been aggravated Kace.

He was also the reason why Kace couldn’t see his mate for long time and trying his best to not thinking about her, as he tried to stuff his head with useless things just to make his mind stopped wondering to his little mate.

The man was a mind reader, the person who had been sent by Jedrek to hunt him down. Apparently, Maximus didn’t meet his expectation, therefore, the King of the Lycanthropes had the need to send another creature after him.

“How are you Kace?” Killian emerged from the shadow of the alley and stood under the flickering lamp post.

“I was good before I see you.” Kace sneered.

There was a great distance that separated them, yet it was not enough to reduce the tension between Kace and the mind reader.

“You flatter me,” Killian answered nonchalantly, brushed away the hostility in Kace’s tone. “I have come so far to see you, why don’t you invite me for a tea or coffee while talking about weather.”

Kace rolled his blue eyes. He couldn’t understand his brother. Why he always had strange people in his disposal.

“I don’t feel like I want to invite you into anything except a fight, so I can kick your as* away from me.” Kace crossed his arms in front of his chest she took leisurely steps to approach him.

Killian didn’t move, he remained in his place, but his eyes as sharp as ever, when he concentrated to penetrate Kace’s mind.

“What is her name?” Killian threw the bait to make Kace thought about her.

“Who? Anna? Dalia? Rose? Martha?” Kace chuckled as he threw random names to Killian.

“No, your mate.” Killian smirked when he got a flash of a girl’s face from Kace’s mind. “She is beautiful.” He nodded, smiling. “Where is she?”

Kace had been avoiding him for a year, because he didn’t want this confrontation. Because once Killian was talking about Hope, he couldn’t help, but think about his mate as a feeling of longing coursed through in his blood. He missed her, of course.

However if he didn’t confront him now, how long he had to outrun him and Maximus? Kace would never be able to come near Hope if Killian was tailing him from time to time.

He was harder than Maximus to deal with.

“You miss her, I see…” Killian mumbled, but before he could ask another question and led Kace to reveal Hope’s exact location in his mind, the Lycan had charged toward him with his claws elongated threateningly to tear every flesh that it could touch.

However, before Kace could reach him, Killian had moved away swiftly, jumped and landed on the tall wall behind him.

“I don’t want to fight, I just want to talk.” The mind reader was lack of fighting skill. He was not there to fight. “I just want to know where is she?”

Kace’s eyes turned dark when he felt there was something trying to pierce through his mind, this must be Killian’s desperate attempt to know where Hope was before he could flee from Kace and lurked around again, watching him from the dark.

Kace wouldn’t give him another chance to endanger Hope’s life.

“Jedrek will not kill your mate,” Killian said sternly when he watched Kace started to shift into his beast form.

And that was the last lie Kace wanted to hear.

============== 

It had been another weeks since Jedrek left to take care of his problem in the castle. Since the last attack, nothing major had happened, but it seemed the Alpha King was too occupied with all the problem in his hands.

Eaton sighed and started to feed Lilac with another spoon of yellow liquid to sustain her life since she couldn’t eat anything since she was unconscious.

But, the spoon in Eaton’s hand stopped mid- air when the old Lycan witnessed Lilac opened her eyes. She looked confused as she scanned her surrounding and fixed her eyes on Eaton.

“Impossible…” he muttered under his breath. How could she wake up?

However, Eaton didn’t have time to ask when he felt his body was being thrown away.
