The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 747 - A PROPER CONVERSATION

"What do you think you were doing?!" Jedrek roared once he put Lilac down on her bed in her chamber, he had mind- linked someone to call a healer and the old woman had been waiting for them right in front of the door.

"I was practicing with her!" Lilac snapped back at Jedrek. She didn't like the tone that he had been using when he scolded her along the way here.

She was aware, why Jedrek was angry, but… but she just didn't want to be scolded in front of Serefina.

"What kind of practicing do you think you were doing?! You had destroyed two rooms back then when we were still in the old castle and now, were you going to tear down the whole place?!" There was a possibility that would happen if Jedrek didn't rush there in time.

"Why are you just scolding me?! You can ask everyone there, it was Serefina who approached me!" Lilac shouted and then grimace when the healer coated ointment on her burned fingers.

Jedrek took a deep breath to content his anger. The way Lilac's face scrunched in pain made his angry words stuck in his throat.

"How is she?" he asked the healer grimly. "Is it bad?"

The healer nodded her head solemnly. "Because she is not a shifter, the wounds will take time to be healed."

Upon hearing the healer's answer, Jedrek's face darkened. He glared at Lilac for being reckless, but the guardian angel only lowered her head and pouted her lips sullenly.

She had been endured the pain, so she didn't need for Jedrek to scold her too.

"How long it will take to completely heal?" Jedrek sat down beside Lilac, but she moved, so she wouldn't be too close with him. She was angry.

"Around a month," the healer answered gingerly and what she was afraid of happened. Jedrek was infuriated when he heard that. "She has a body like human, your majesty, so it takes time to heal completely, but it will not leave a scar if you apply the ointment regularly."

The mating ceremony would happen less than two weeks, but Lilac was injured now. However, that was not the thing that made Jedrek mad. The fact that he was worried about his mate up to the point he lost his temper, surprised him.

When the healer finished bandaged Lilac's fingers, she frowned at her hands, she wouldn't be able to use them for meantime.

"What should I do if I cannot use my hands?" Lilac grumbled, she didn't like the thought that Serefina beat her severely like this.

"You can lay down and stop making trouble." Jedrek stood in front of his mate and let the healer to leave them alone, despite of Lilac refusal.

She didn't want to stay in the same room like Jedrek. For some reason, Lilac was upset everytime she remembered Jedrek snapped at her in front of Serefina.

"Look at me," Jedrek ordered her, but Lilac refused it. She glared at the flower vase on top of the table, which she just put there in this morning. "Lilac, look at me."

"No," she replied curtly.

"Lilac." Jedrek tried to be more patient with Lilac, but everyday his mate kept testing his patient and the most frustrating thing was; he couldn't go all out and vented his frustration on her.

Apparently, the mate bond kept getting stronger and it stung when he watched Lilac was hurt. However, the feeling for Serefina was still somewhere around the corner of the king's heart.

Jedrek wouldn't take 'no' as an answer, he held her chin and tilted her head, so their eyes could meet.

"Stop destroying my castle," he said rigidly. Lilac was about to protest, but Jedrek leaned over and kissed her head. "Take a rest, Keira will be here to help with whatever you need."

After saying that, Jedrek let go of her chin and strode toward the door.

"You put her here to spy me, so I will not destroy my room?" Lilac shouted at Jedrek sarcastically.

Jedrek closed his eyes to content his temper, yet his beast purred with Lilac's defiant act. "I am afraid you will have a hard time to do so with your injured hands. Take a rest little flower."

Lilac murmured something grumpily.

============== historical

Orange light from her palm help the witch to close her wounds. She breathed heavily when a big wound on her left arm kept bleeding.

She ignored Eaton and Lyrus suggestion to get a healer for her. Serefina didn't need that, she could heal herself and all she wanted now was to be alone.

After a few moment, the orange light seeped through her skin and mended her wound, as it started to close in.

When Serefina heard the door was being opened she was about to snap, but then remembered the door had been charmed so no one could enter.

"Who is that?!" Serefina stood up and walked vigilantly toward the door. Her encounter with the devil in the forest, on her way here, had put her on alert.

However, the moment she saw who was there, she hoped it was Asmodeus instead of him.

"How is your wound?" Jedrek asked and welcomed himself to enter the room.

"How did you come in?" Serefina narrowed her eyes.

"Through the door," Jedrek said casually, he didn't meet Serefina's eyes when he took her injured arms and inspected them. Just like what he thought. The witch had healed herself, she had this ability, but still Jedrek needed to see with his own eyes that she was fine.

"I put spell there. How can you enter my room?" Serefina pulled her hands, but Jedrek had not yet done with his observation, thus he gripped them tighter.

"Forget? Your magic is useless against me," Jedrek mumbled and let go Serefina's hand when he was sure, there was nothing major with her wound.

"What do you want?" Serefina asked.

"I think this is the right time for us to have a proper conversation."
