The Love of a Lycan Chapter 997 – LILAC AND THE WHITE BEAST

“I am sorry,” Jedrek repeated his words.

I am sorry for not knowing that you have suffered a lot…

I am sorry for not knowing that you have gone through so much alone…

I am sorry for not choosing you…

“There is nothing to be sorry for…” Serefina replied weakly. She snuggled more in to Jedrek’s warm embrace, relishing every single moment with this man. “We choose our own paths and all we have to do is to walk through them until the end.”

There was a comfortable silence that ensued between them, as no words were said afterward.

But just like before, when the time was right for both of them all those centuries ago, they didn’t need to voice out their thoughts to be each other’s safe haven.

Though this situation and time were relatively different, still it was something that remained the same til now…

Serefina hoped that she could be selfish enough to stop this moment for eternity…

This journey was so exhausting that she wanted to feel sheltered now…

This was indeed a long journey…

==============  

The force sent Lilac flying a few meters in the air. She didn’t even have time to scream when pain burst out on her left shoulder, which had taken most of the blow.

But, while she was still in the mid air, she felt something soft catch her as a white color flashed before her eyes. It was a white beast, Torak’s beast.

The lycan let the guardian angel land on his body and roared at the dragon beast in front of him, the sound was earth- shattering and it succeeded in making the dragon beasts hesitate for a while.

However, that was all they needed to escape.

The white beast wriggled a little so as to adjust Lilac’s position on its back, and retreated quickly, as the creature had to move fast to avoid the blazing fire that came out from the dragon beast’s mouth.

One beast was dead and one was still struggling, though it wouldn’t take long before the creature could be subdued.

And the that was chasing Torak and Lilac was now being surrounded by five earth dragon beasts and the phoenix that oddly managed to teach Stephan and his people how to fly, in spun of time.

They were surprised to witness such a thing, but it happened.

However, this was not the time to wonder about all that since they had more urgent matters to be handled first.

The remaining two dragon beasts needed to be taken down soon before the others came. They would struggle if they had to fight another beast in succession, as taking down these two was already costing them a great deal of effort.

Torak and Kace led the lycanthropes and the former was in charge of the dragon beasts, while the phoenix followed Kace. Lilac helped Torak in bringing the beasts near to the ground, so that they could reach those creatures.

Meanwhile, Lilac clutched onto the beast’s white fur tightly, so she wouldn’t fall when the white beast made a sharp turn or leapt high in order to avoid the attack.

Fire was everywhere at this point and for the earth dragon shifters, though they outnumbered the single fire dragon beast, it was still hard for them to be close to the creature since it would blast them with fire from their mouth, the thing that they couldn’t do.

“This beast is really getting on my nerves!” Lilac said agitatedly, her voice loud enough for the white beast to hear her. He snickered, feeling the frustration from the guardian angel. “Move up there!” Lilac pointed in a particular direction.

The spot Lilac showed to Torak was the top of a tower, which stood at an equal height with the dragon beast’s position when it was flying above the ground to attack them.

The beast seemed hell bent on frying the white lycan to ashes, since it wouldn’t even spare a single glance at any other lycanthrope.

“Climb up there and I will help you to get back to the dragon!” Lilac said loudly, even though that was not necessary.

The white beast moved faster in the direction Lilac had mentioned. Its paws hit the ground firmly, as it moved swiftly to dodge the blasting fire.

Before the white lycan started climbing, he stopped for a moment, to give Lilac enough time to adjust herself on his back, so she wouldn’t fall.

Lilac understood it immediately and wrapped her arms and legs around the beast’s neck and body, securing herself in position. “Okay, go!”

That was the cue for the white beast to start climbing the tower.

Meanwhile, seeing what Torak and Lilac were about to do, the five earth dragon shifters tried their best to distract the fire dragon shifter from hurling a fireball at the two of them.

They fought bravely, while clumsily flying around the dragon beast.

Rattling roars like sounds were echoing in the air as the wind whipped harshly around the six beasts that were immersed in their own battle.

It didn’t take very long for Torak to reach the peak of the tower and he tilted his head at the young woman on his back, as if asking what they should do now.

“Hold on…” Strangely, Lilac understood that small gesture pretty easily. They actually worked well together. “Jump on to his back when the beast is about to hurl fire at us.”

Lilac looked down, it was such a very high place, but she could see Sebastian’s beast on the ground, who had raised his head in worry and stared at her without blinking.

“Not yet…” Lilac mumbled to herself, but loud enough for Torak to hear her.

Not too far from them, the fire dragon beast managed to free itself from the five earth dragon beasts and charged toward the duo with a ball of fire in his mouth.

Below, Sebastian’s beast howled in a warning, as if telling them to move, to avoid the direct clash.

However, Lilac told the white beast otherwise. “Stay. Jump on my cue.”

The tension was dense in the air and the dragon beast threw its ugly head back, ready to release a calamity upon the white beast and the guardian angel.

At the same time, Lilac raised both of her hands and made a sudden motion, while saying. “NOW!”
