The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 841 - TERMS

Jedrek skipped visiting Carina and directly went to Zarrn's cell, this time Kace didn't come along and chose to go back to see Hope in the king's wing.

Therefore, it was only Torak and Jedrek, who went to visit Zarrn.

"We need the centaurs," Torak said when they were about to reach Zarrn's cell.

"There are only a hundred of them and only around eighty centaurs of them can actually fight, while the rest are women and children," Jedrek said, he was still trying to contain his anger. "Losing eighty soldiers meant nothing for the upcoming war," he said in a matter of fact tone.

"Right, but that is not all," Torak replied. "Killing them will only send a bad message to the other creatures. The centaurs and the hunters, also a few shifters from the village in the northern coven realm are very close. You can't deny that fact."

It didn't matter much to kill the centaurs, but the aftermath that followed killing them was what they should concern themselves with.

"We have a war ahead of us and the last thing we need is a bunch of creatures against us when we can use them for good," Torak said, trying to get his point crossed.

"We will see about that later," Jedrek said rigidly and hastened his steps.

It wasn't that he was not aware of it, but he was used to keep his next move to himself, thus he found it hard to tell Torak what was going on in his mind, therefore he opted to do this in his own way.

Yet, he didn't intend to keep this as a secret. Torak would realize what his decision was, sooner or later.

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

Kace went to see the hall, where they were keeping all the centaurs. It was the hall that usually used to hold a small party between the higher ranks of the lycanthropes.

The last party that was held in this hall was still fresh in Kace's memory. At that point of time, his parents were still alive and well, yet he didn't even realize that his mother had been sick and his father had taken aid from the devil.

If that so, what was the point in fighting the devils in the war, when they were actually letting their true enemies reside under the same roof along with them.

They had wasted a lot of souls back then, more than one could imagine, but the result was nothing to be proud of, the devils were still active and kicking, and managed to pull their legs into a living hell for centuries, when they thought they had won the war.

What an irony…

However, would the devils be pulling the same trick again? As they loved to mock them by making the same move and push them into their traps while they laughed at how stupid they were to fall for their tricks again and again.

Yes, it was one of the devils' traits that most people had known very well.

Kace couldn't get rid of these thoughts about the certain possibilities from his head. He should talk about this to Torak and Jedrek. But, for now he wanted to check on Hope, to see whether she was okay.

After he made sure that those centaurs were not treated poorly and the hunters along with the shifters from the village didn't make any scene and were actually carrying out their tasks, which was helping the lycanthropes to guard the city and the castle, without complain, Kace left to the king's wing to find his mate.

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

A guard opened the cell, where they kept Zarrn and then walked away from the room after Torak signaled for them to leave.

Unlike Chiron, Zarrn wasn't bound with chains. He could move freely inside this cell, which was actually not small to begin with, and enough to accommodate ten people inside at the same time.

Jedrek stepped into the cell, while Torak was standing at the doorstep of the cell.

Both of the Donovans didn't show any expression that could give away what they were thinking right at this moment.

Therefore, Zarrn needed to ask when Jedrek didn't threw any question at him even after five whole minutes of his appearance.

"Is it the time for my execution?" Zarrn asked straight to the point, since he was pretty sure that the king wouldn't let them alive after harming his mate.

"Unfortunately, no," Jedrek said lightly.

In spite of the fact that Jedrek was tall enough as a man, but Zarrn was taller than any of men with his half horse body, yet it didn't mean the Alpha King was intimidated by him, in truth, it was quite the opposite.

The lycanthropes were usually more dominant than any other creatures.

"Should I be glad for that?" Zarrn clamly asked again, but there was bitterness dripping from his words. It was only a matter of time before he got his turn. At least, that was what he thought.

"It will depend on your answer," Jedrek said. historical

Zarrn narrowed his eyes, he was not sure that he could understand where Jedrek was coming from, even Torak didn't have any idea about what his brother was about to do.

"So, what is your question?" Zarrn asked, he looked at Torak behind the king but he couldn't find Kace, thus he assumed that the other Donovan didn't want to meddle with whatever his brother's decision.

In all honesty, Zarrn was glad that Kace decided not to visit him, he didn't know what he should do or what he had to say to him.

Jedrek folded his arms in front of his chest and started to tell Zarrn his original plan. "I was thinking to burn all of the centaurs alive and let the three of you watch their flesh and bones turn into ashes. Hear every single scream that come out from their lips as they bear the pain."

Torak slightly narrowed his eyes when he heard what Jedrek was going to do with those centaurs and Zarrn gritted his teeth when his mind, subconsciously, played what Jedrek said in his head.

"But?"Zarrn picked the last words of Jedrek and knew immediately that he was going to discuss a term with him.

"But, I have a condition," he said.
