The Love of a Lycan Chapter 694 – UNDER THE MOONLIGHT

Yes, Raine had seen her. She saw Hope when she went to devil’s place, to save Torak.

Hope was standing beside the flower girl, who was holding a bucket of red flower.

“I have seen you,” Raine said. “And the other guardian angel.”

Hope beamed. She didn’t know why, but she felt happy to see her. “Really? What is your name?”

“Raine,” Raine said timidly, she held her hand, but Hope threw herself to hug her.

“I am Hope!” she was almost shouting in her ears, but her action melted the anxiousness that Raine felt as she hugged her back.

It was an amazing feeling. Both of them felt like they had known each other for years. As though they were the long lost sibling, who just reunited again. There was no awkwardness and it seemed very natural to hug each other.

Both of them were overwhelmed with this feeling, until they forgot about their surroundings.

“Don’t let your fear cloud your judgment about what the right thing to do,” Chiron said, as he walked closer toward Kace and stood beside him, staring at the two guardian angels, who were dazzled by each other’s presence.

“I will not march into the war with my mate,” Kace spoke rigidly.

“Stop running, Kace. You’ve been running for too long.” Chiron squeezed Kace’s shoulder.

============== 

With only a touch a flower bloomed beautifully under the light of the full moon, basking its red petals with alluring beauty and swayed gently by the wind.

Lilac grazed her finger to the other flower buds and the same thing happened, until this small garden was filled with fresh scent and she was satisfied.

Hiding behind the freshly bloomed flowers, Lilac had zero care to the dirt beneath her feet when she chose to sit there.

She wanted to feel like she was at home. There were too many things had happened since she arrived here and on top of that, she lost one precious year because Jedrek had put her under that stupid illusion.

She had not yet forgiven him for that, but it also didn’t seem like the Alpha King would apologize for her lost year.

Lilac fell on her back and let her jet black hair scattered all over the ground, dirtied herself. However, it was only at times like this that Lilac felt very comfortable and could think more calmly.

The guardian angel stared to the night sky and watched as a firefly flickered before her eyes and a soft smile appear on her lips. “It will not be long…” she stretched out her hand and the firefly perched on her fingertip.

“What are you doing here?”

Lilac was too engross with her own thought and didn’t realize Tordoff had been staring at her in the entire time she grew all of these flowers.

“Thinking,” Lilac answered, but kept lying on the ground.

“Mind if I join you?” Tordoff sat beside Lilac and heard the girl giggled.

“If I say I mind, will you get up and go?” Lilac asked teasingly.

“It is comfortable here,” Tordoff ignored her objection and caressed the freshly bloomed flower. “This is beautiful. I wish I have a power like you.”

“I wish I don’t know about all of this,” Lilac mumbled and lowered her hand, watching the firefly flew away.

Her last conversation with Jedrek still lingered in the back of her head and the thing that happened afterward.

Jedrek kissed her. It was not like the passionate kiss that they shared back then when they were in the castle or the kiss when she was under the illusion.

Their kiss was different at that time, filled with unspeakable emotions. Jedrek didn’t force his way. It was a chaste and innocent kiss, which didn’t last for long time for both of them to savor and even left more questions after that.

Jedrek didn’t say anything when he escorted her to her chamber beside his and only left her with a ‘good night’ and a kiss on her temple.

Later, Lilac couldn’t see him for three days straight. Not even in his chamber, in his study room, in great hall, every corner of this castle, not anywhere. He was gone and the people that she asked about him only said that he had another matter to be handled. He went out of the castle with Eaton and some of his generals.

Lilac couldn’t comprehend the way Jedrek treated her, when she thought to treat the bond between them casually, he acted as if he wanted her, yet when Lilac took a step closer, he was out of her reach.

Lilac had to keep reminding herself that he was the same person who had ordered Maximus to kill her, but if she was true to herself, she couldn’t find in herself to hate him as much as she thought she could.

The soft nature of guardian angel truly added another complication in this weird situation.

“Hei, I was asking you.” Tordoff nudged Lilac’s cheek to get her attention.

“What?” Lilac tilted her head, she was lost in her own thought. “I am sorry, I didn’t hear your question. What you asked?”

Tordoff sighed. “You can share your problem with me, you know?”

“Thank you for your offer,” Lilac smiled beautifully, “but this is not something that I want to share. What was your question?”

Tordoff shrugged his shoulder and dismissed his concern for her. “I asked if you want to go with me to the city? You have not been out of this castle since the first time you came, right?”

“It sounds nice,” Lilac agreed. She pushed herself to sit down and patted the dirt from her dress and hair.

“You will like the city.” Tordoff stretched out his hand and picked up a dry leaf from Lilac’s hair as she said ‘thank you’.

“If you treat me a meal, it will be perfect.” Lilac grinned. It felt so easy to talk with Tordoff and she enjoyed her company.

“Great,” Tordoff mumbled while caressing Lilac’s hair.
