The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 730 - I WILL SLEEP WITH YOU

Lilac followed him into the room and took the bowl that she had put on the table, beside the bed. "Why? Do you think I will poison you?" she raised the bowl to her lips and took a gulp under Jedrek stern gaze. "See? This is safe."

It was apparent that the king didn\'t appreciate what she had done. "Even if you drink it, I will not." Jedrek continued to dry his hair, ignoring Lilac\'s frustration grunt.

"Why? This is for you, how can you heal if you don\'t want to drink it?" Every time Lilac saw the gruesome gashes behind Jedrek\'s back, she would grimace. It looked very painful. How Jedrek could pretend that it was not?

Lilac knew that Eaton said that Jedred had gotten used to hide his feeling, but still, Lilac wanted him to open up to her. To trust her more, but in the other hand, she couldn\'t rush things between them.

"Someone had been giving me a drink to heal my pain for decades and it turned out, it healed the pain, but it also did more damage to me." Jedrek looked at the bowl in Lilac\'s hand. "Moreover, that medicine will not cure my wounds. This is black magic, not something that can be cured by drinking random medicine," he said with finality. He was so adamant with his decision now.

"Maximus," Lilac said the name of the person who had given Jedrek the drink. "I am not Maximus."

"Of course you were not him." Jedrek knitted his eyebrows. "Eaton told you?" he guessed it right, because it was most likely Lilac knew from him.

"Yes," she said, nodding absentmindedly when she looked at him with inexplicable expression. "So, you will not feel the pain when Serefina left you."

After Lilac said that, the atmosphere turned tense and Jedrek stopped his movement. His eyes were on Lilac and the intensity from the way he looked at her, put the guardian angel restless.

"I didn\'t drink it anymore the moment I know what it was." Jedrek spoke rigidly and tossed the towel on the table and then walked to his bed. "I will rest, you can stay if you like."

Lilac was standing beside the bed, with the same bowl in her hand. "Jedrek," she called him softly.

"Hm?"

"When you lost Serefina, you turned feral. However, why Kaitsa didn\'t do the same when she lost Maximus?" this question had been on her mind this whole day. Kaitsa looked almost normal for someone who just lost her mate. Meanwhile, Serefina even was not Jedrek\'s mate, but why…

Jedrek didn\'t open his eyes and didn\'t reply her to question either. Hence, after a few minute of waiting, Lilac thought the king had fallen asleep or simply didn\'t want to answer her.

However, when Lilac was about to walk out of the room, she heard from behind her, Jedrek\'s voice.

"It depends on how much you love that person," He said in hoarse voice. "The mate bond will slowly lose it attraction over the time, but it will take decades for that."

Lilac gripped her dress tightly, but didn\'t turn around to face Jedrek. She looked at the door with intensity that could create a hole there. "When Serefina is here, will you go to her?"

"No, she left me," Jedrek said simply. "You are my mate and we have agreed about it."

Lilac smiled wryly when she heard that. It was not the answer that she wanted. "Get some rest, Jedrek," she said in voice that barely a whisper and walked toward the door.

"Lilac," Jedrek called her again when she just took her third steps.

"Hm?"

"You did a great job with the people in the city," he said proudly.

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

Torak carried the sleeping Raine back to their room when Raphael and Lana entered the house.

From the look of it, it seemed both of them had settled down their matter and everything was fine, so after giving the two of them a brief glance, Torak walked away, leaving Calleb sleeping on the sofa.

The Gamma was not even aware when Lana turned off the television or her little conversation with Raphael.

"Go back to your room, I will come after I talk to Kace," Raphael said and kissed her temple.

"Okay," Lana smiled and went to her room. She was very happy that they were able to make up so quickly and the fact that Raphael was so understanding.

However, Lana wouldn\'t tell about her affection toward Kace. It was in the past. Raphael didn\'t have to know about that, moreover he was his mate now.

Only now did Lana fully understand how Kace felt about Hope.

When you had a crush with someone and when you were with your real destined mate, the feeling was so different.

"LANA!"

Lana was startled when Hope screamed and ran toward her. The girl literally threw herself at her, until she lost her balance and fell on the floor.

"Hope!" Lana reprimanded her, but Hope was laughing, still clinging onto her neck.

"I miss you! I am very happy for you!" Hope exclaimed.

"I know, I know…" Lana said helplessly and patted her back. "Now, get up. You are heavy!"

"I am not!" Hope raised her head from Lana\'s neck and pouted sullenly. "Come here! Let\'s go to your room! You have to tell me everything about what the two of you were talking, where are you and why are you just coming home now."

Hope was so excited that she didn\'t see Lana grimace when she spoke. "I will tell you later, why don\'t you go back to your room?"

"No, I will sleep with you," Hope grinned.
