The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 678 - STAY CLOSE

Jedrek scowled, he ran his fingers through his black hair and growled deeply upon hearing what Lilac had shouted to him. "What?"

"Let's go!" Lilac didn't want to spend another second with argumentation, she grabbed Jedrek's arm and was about to pull him away from here, yet the Alpha King didn't budge and the guardian angel didn't have enough strength to do otherwise. "What now?!"

"I can't go." Jedrek stared at Lilac's small hand that wanted to drag him along with her and relished the spark between them. The spark was there so did their bond. No matter how hard Jedrek pushed her away and hurt her, this little girl was always comeback in one way or another.

"Of course you can!" Lilac was irritated. "Oh, please. Can we save the argumentation for later?" she asked dramatically. "Eaton and Airin are injured. They can't move!"

Jedrek narrowed his eyes and stepped out from the secret room to the dark tunnel, but he grabbed Lilac's hand to go with him too, made sure she was within his sight.

Jedrek approached Eaton first and checked on him, apparently the lycan has gained his consciousness and tried to sit down, though he looked haggard, but still, it was better to see him arguing with Jedrek.

"Didn't I tell you that you should go?" Jedrek glowered at him.

"It's not me, it's her." Eaton nodded to Lilac, because he knew the girl would fight back while he too exhausted to argue with Jedrek. "I have told her to go, but she didn't listen."

Lilac frowned when she heard that. Well, that wasn't wrong, but why she felt Eaton put the blame on her head?

Jedrek glanced at Lilac with unreadable expression, but didn't say anything. "Can you stand up?"

"I guess," Eaton groaned when he tried to stand up and Jedrek didn't do anything to help. It seemed he was annoyed beyond words to even give a hand to him.

In the other hand, Lilac couldn't stand it, she moved forward and was about to help Eaton when Jedrek shoved her away to the side and finally did what he had to do.

"Airin is over there," Lilac said, walking to the other rumbles where she had laid Airin there.

After helping Eaton to stand up Jedrek let him to walk on his own while he approached Lilac with hasty steps.

Jedrek watched the special servant was lying on the ground, started to stir awake, as her injuries began to heal.

"Are you all right?" Lilac crouched down and helped Airin to sit. "Come on, we have to go."

"You three get out of here!" Jedrek spoke in deep voice, leaving no room for negotiation. He watched with rigid expression when Lilac stood right in front of him. The tip of her head only reached his shoulder, but she didn't look intimidated at all.

"Your grace," she said, sarcasm was very thick in her tone. "In case you have forgotten what I already said earlier, I will remind you again."

The guardian angel looked like she was on the verge of losing her patient, yet tried hard to stay calm and this amused Jedrek to see her expression.

"We came here to get you out from this place, so be nice and cooperate." Lilac glowered, no longer trying to hold back her anger.

Jedrek knew she was a feisty and fierce one. Somehow, he always knew it. Nothing would make this girl to back down when he had decided on something.

Yet, Jedrek didn't heed to her words when the animalistic sounds erupted throughout the entire place, shaking the ground beneath them.

"What is that?" This time, it was Eaton who was flabbergasted with the imminent danger that seemed lurking from the dark.

"The creatures from hell," Jedrek said tonelessly, but didn't slow down his steps to approach the door once again.

"The creatures from hell," Eaton repeated in disbelieve. "Is that what the consequences are all about? Breaking the deal will lead us to open the gates to Tartarus?"

"I don't believe it too, but the reality is hard to deny," Jedrek spoke grimly. "You should go from here."

Eaton grabbed Jedrek's arm to stop him. "So, what are you going to do? Fight every creatures that come out?!" Anger rose in his throat. "That's not a plan."

"There was never a plan for this." Jedrek looked at Eaton hard.

Both of them knew, no one expected this outcome. Who would have thought that Janus would go this far to save Diana?

Open the Tartarus gates? It could be the end of the world. Just like what the prophecy said. They had to fight the devils once again.

In short, another war…

How could the devil had predicted this? If this was indeed the devil's plan, they had enrooted this since the first war.

How could that be possible?

"Get them out of here." Jedrek shook his arm from Eaton's grip, but then he heard his mate spoke in her sweet tone. There was no fear in the way she talked. historical

"Too late," she said, putting her palms on the ground. "The other end of the passage was already covered in rubbles."

Jedrek squinted his eyes on Lilac. "You can easily move them away."

"This tunnel is not steady, one more clatter and maybe the entire tunnel will collapse. I don't want to go there." Lilac shrugged her shoulder, leaving Jedrek with no other choice. "If you don't believe me, you can go with us and see it yourself."

Jedrek closed his eyes as he tried to content his anger. He didn't know whether Lilac was saying the truth or not. She was hard to predict, especially when she talked so calm and with smirk on her lips, as though she was saying; I will do what I want to do and you will do what I say.

Jedrek turned on his heel, took three long strides and grabbed Lilac's arm as he spoke grimly, "stay close."
