Jedrek felt his throat choke on pure air as his heart stopped beating when his brain finally registered what he was witnessing at this moment.

In his mind, there were many words he wanted to shout out loud for the whole world to hear, all of which were denials of the facts and realities that were happening right before his eyes.

This can't be happening, right? None of this should have happened.

The white beast stood frozen when he saw how the dragon beast's horn pierced Serefina's body and blood began to flow from the wound.

But then again, Serefina would not sacrifice herself without being rewarded in return.

Jedrek watched grimly as she set the dragon's horned wing ablaze, just like burning an incense paper that quickly turned into ashes which then blown away by the wind.

Now, the dragon beast had lost its two wings and one forelimb, but the creature was still moving and trying to attack the witch, who was now kneeling on the ground and having difficulty breathing.

Anyone who saw her could tell that she would not survive this...

While the dragon beast that was still alive, continued to writhe in pain and was about to lay its body on top of the witch, in its attempt to squeeze her to death.

However, Lilac immediately got up and created a deep crater under the dragon beast's feet, which plunged him into the bottomless black hole.

It was just that, because the ground was unstable and the witch had already exhausted all her strength, Serefina's body rolled and fell into the dark crater as well.

Lilac took a sharp breath when she saw that and was about to help Serefina, however, from the corner of her eye she saw that the white beast was already running very fast toward the witch with unquestionable intent.

For a moment, Lilac froze in place and could only stare at how determined the white beast was to save Serefina.

How deeply did Jedrek care about her, that it didn't even take him a second to jump into that deep crater?

Almost instantly, the pain returned.

Lilac felt it right in her tender heart. The pain made it hard for her to breathe as she trembled with fear of what she would do now.

Lilac felt awful that such a bad thought had crossed her mind, but then she shook her head and ran to the edge of the deep crater she had created, intending to save both of them.

At this time, the dragon beast was already engulfed in darkness and could no longer be seen, it was just that, after reaching the crater, Lilac could not see the figure of the white beast or Serefina either.

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

Hope opened her eyes. She was sure she was in the middle of a bloody battle earlier, but as soon as she blinked, somehow she was in the room where she had woken up in Raine's body earlier.

She returned to the bedroom where she first woke up from a long sleep after returning Calleb and Ethan's beasts, and also after her encounter with the moon goddess.

However, this time Hope was alone, she didn't find anyone there.

She immediately got up and removed the blankets covering her body and set her feet on the floor.

What was this? Why was she suddenly in this room again? Wasn't she beside Kace before?

Even though it was Raine's body that she had occupied.

Wait a minute…

In that case, is Raine conscious now? And that was why Hope can return to her own body?

It seemed that was the only answer.

But, to be sure, Hope must find Lidya to confirm this. Where is the witch?

As if answering the question in her head, Hope heard a noise from the hall, which made her curious and head there immediately.

The closer she got, the clearer the sound was.

It was a heartbreaking roar and Hope recognized the voice very well. It was Sterling, the father of Rossie and the twins.

With hasty steps, Hope approached the source of the sound and found Sterling roaring his heart out as he sat on his knees, while Lidya was standing not far from him, not knowing what to do.

"What is wrong?" Hope asked in a low voice. It was a huge relief to see Sterling regain his senses, but looking at his condition now, one could tell that he wasn't doing well. "What happened?"

Lidya immediately turned her head when she heard Hope's voice and was quite surprised when she saw her. "You are awake! Hope?" she ended her sentence on a questioning note.

"Yes, I am Hope." Hope nodded. "What happened to him?"

Hope immediately knelt beside Sterling, but he didn't seem to care about it as he was still wallowing in grief. Too deep for one to fathom.

"He just found out that he had lost his mate and Ian..." Lidya hesitated for a moment. Hope already knew about Ian and Sophia, but was still clueless about the latest news that Lidya had to deliver after this. "...as well as Rossie."

Hope's hand stopped midair as she was about to caress Sterling's shoulder, to lighten his load. However, when she heard Lidya's last words, her body instantly froze and she was unable to make a sound for a moment.

"What?" Hope frowned, still in a state of denial about what she just heard. "You... you're not serious, are you?" Her voice trembled after hearing that, even Sterling's roar seemed just a distant wailing in her ears now.

After all, Sterling had just come out of a critical state, only to find that he had lost his mate as well as two of his children.

No one would be in their right mind if they received such news.

Meanwhile, Hope was clutching her chest very tightly as tears rapidly fell down on her lap.

Hope remembered Rossie's expression when they met for the first time.

At that time, her expression reminded Hope of a cute little puppy that was lost with a bright pair of hazel eyes, coupled with the words when she told Hope about finding her mate.

'I would love to know how my mate will be...'

It seemed like a distant memory...
