The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 942 - REALIZATION

"But, what if this war doesn't end?" Theseus asked the question that deepened the frown on Raine's forehead.

What did he mean by the war wouldn't end?

"What do you mean by that?" Raine didn't appreciate his gesture at all and moreover, she couldn't treat this conversation as something funny when the young dragon lord chuckled.

"You don't know, do you?" he snorted. The way he stared at Raine kept bothering her as it left her feeling restless for reasons she didn't know herself.

Theseus had his own way to know something like this, especially when it was his people out there that fought those filthy creatures, which didn't seem to stop coming any soon. They could die at anytime, but those Donovans didn't even bat their eyes to sacrifice them.

They didn't even step their feet out of this place, to keep their eyes on their beautiful mates. Theseus might be young, but he was not a fool. He learned about the guardian angels and the whisper of their purpose for being resurrected.

"Know what?" Raine squinted her eyes dangerously at him and caught a glimpse of Calleb when he walked past the corridor, yet when he saw Raine was talking to Theseus, he halted and approached them instead.

Sensing someone was approaching them, Theseus cleared his throat and walked past Raine. However, he whispered to her as he walked.

"Why don't you ask your sweet mate?" he said and didn't even look back again when Raine turned around, seemingly wanted to ask him a further explanation.

"Everything is okay?" Calleb approached Raine before he watched Theseus walk away.

Raine felt slightly relieved when Calleb came to her aid, but she wanted to know why Theseus was talking that way?

"Where is Torak?" Raine felt an urge to talk to her mate. Something was wrong, totally wrong.

"He is in the meeting room…" Calleb said, but before he could finish his words, Raine had started walking away. "But, they were in a meeting now…" Yet, Raine had already turned at the corner of the corridor and disappeared from his sight.

==============

"Kace, you are crazy…" Hope's voice was akin to a whisper. "You can't prolong this war… lots of people will die in vain out there!"

Kace opened his mouth, but he shut it again, he seemed to want to say something, but those excuses didn't seem convincing even to himself.

Jedrek and Torak didn't say that they would prolong this war, but the three of them knew what was necessary to end it.

No, not to end it…

With the recent turn of events, something that could give them a high chance to win it.

However, that something was a choice that they were absolutely not willing to take.

They didn't need to talk about it out loud, but there was this tacit understanding among them and this unspoken plan would continue for as long as possible.

"Hope, we will find a way… but, it's definitely not something which will make me lose you…" Kace shook his head vigorously. This was very hard to imagine, even the idea of losing their mate had them on the verge of going insane.

Hope looked at Kace right in his eyes, this was the latter's first time to see such intense disappointment in his mate's eyes.

Kace couldn't explain how hard it was for him to stand there and look at Hope, while he was trying to make her understand, to justify their actions.

"A week ago you was very livid because of Torak's order which had Lana killed. However now, you don't even feel ashamed when you talk to me about all of this nonsense?!" Hope had never been so angry at Kace like this.

They were playing with those innocents' lives and sacrificed them for their own mate? Just to prolong the inevitable?!

She was scared of death, but to live and know every breath that they took was a last breath of the other shifters that died in the battle… how could they live with a fact like that?

"You talk about your fear of not wanting someone else's life to be your responsibility, but you are willing to put those responsibilities on me?!" Hope's voice became louder, as she tried to get away from Kace, who was approaching her and trying to calm her down.

"I know, I know!" Kace grabbed his hair frutratedly. He didn't want to do this, but it was either this or losing Hope.

Therefore, he chose the former. He wouldn't mind it much since they didn't know all the people dying out there… right? Yet, his conscience said otherwise…

"Kace, you are such a hypocrite…" Hope's voice was neither loud nor harsh, but the way she said it, made him feel an intense pain as if his heart was being stabbed with a sharp silver dagger.

At this time, he really wanted for his beast to take over, so he could retreat to his own safety and let the beast did what it needed to do to keep their mate safe.

And that was what he did…

The moment, he raised his head and stared at Hope, his eyes were as red as the color of blood.

==============

Raine opened the door of the meeting room and found Torak who was talking to Lyrus and a few Alphas in his pack, but she didn't see Stephan or the fae that came with Jedrek.

"Raine," Torak was fl.u.s.tered when he watched his mate walk straight toward him, from the look in her eyes, he knew something was not right. "What happened, my love?" historical

Raine glanced at the map that was spread open on the table, it showed the places that were under the control of the devils and surrounded by human's defense forces, and then she stared at the five people inside the room, one by one.

"Everyone out," Raine said. Her voice laced with authority, it held the same amount of pressure like Torak's. "Including you," she said to Lyrus. "I want to talk with your Alpha."

The way Raine talked, Torak knew he had to prepare some explanation for whatever she wanted to ask him, since she had never been this serious before.

Once there was only the two of them, Raine walked to the table and started to talk to him.Find authorized s in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=13952362506619705)/realization_%!d(string=51031827359524279) for visiting.
