The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 637 - HE IS NOT MY KING!

Unconsciously she dug her nails deep into her palms. She bit down her lips and hatred flashed in her eyes. But, the moment she talked, her voice was steady and calm. "At least, we are on the same page for this matter." she said. Eventually, the tension in her body eased and her expression didn\'t give in to the amount of fury that she felt.

Jedrek found himself hated when Lilac succeeded in feigning her emotion. She showed him how his mean words didn\'t affect her, as it did to him. At that moment he realized that this girl wouldn\'t be easy to handle, that it would be exceptionally difficult to deal with.

Lilac ignored the pain on her shoulder and took a step forward towards Jedrek. She was trying to test the water, whether this Lycan King would go berserk again or not. As it turned out, he did nothing and just stayed there with his eyes glaring intensely at her.

Jedrek didn\'t kill her even when he had the chance to. Despite his attempt to hurt her, he couldn\'t bring himself to go further and cross the line completely. She realized that he couldn\'t ignore the bond between them. She made her conclusion triumphantly that he wouldn\'t be able to kill her.

No, at least he couldn\'t kill her with his own hands. He could still order his underlings to do it for him. With that crossing in her mind, she determined herself to always be careful with this, never to let her guard down, and always be cautious for whatever her next move was going to be.

"Get out of my sight." Jedrek was about to leave Lilac.

But then she said, "You know about the impending war, right? Do you really think it won\'t happen if you ignore it?" Lilac took herself closer to him, trying to use all the luck she had in one day.

Jedrek turned around and in no time he wrapped Lilac\'s delicate neck in his grip. But then, the sparks erupted again, forcing him to stop from doing anything more dangerous than that. Not even his pride could push him to go through according to his plan.

Jedrek clenched his jaw tightly, fighting the sudden unbearable urge to mark her right there and then, in order to subdue and punish Lilac for her defiant actions. Meanwhile, Lilac could feel his trembling hand around her neck. She knew that her earlier theory was just proven right then.

"Don\'t you see what is happening to your kingdom?" Lilac spoke clearly while inserting the importance of what she was saying in her tone. "The darkness is coming!" she was brought to surprise when he pulled her closer to him.

They were so close that Jedrek could clearly see the irises in her eyes, and her slightly parted lips. He said, "Don\'t talk about my kingdom in front of me." However, in response, Lilac\'s lips formed a smug of smile as she replied, "Really? I would love to see how you handle the issues."

Jedrek let out a dangerous growl when he felt there was someone approaching in his direction. He threw Lilac aside, and watched heartlessly when her body was about to hit the tree. But, before it could happen, there were vines coiled around her waist and saved her from the supposed crash.

At that time, a guard came from between the bushes. "Your Majesty, are you okay, Sir?" He asked as his eyes trailed to Lilac. The girl had steadied herself after being thrown and looked at the guard cautiously as he growled at her.

"Make sure you escort her out of the castle." Jedrek didn\'t even spare Lilac a glace when he left and walked away. The guard frowned in confusion. He doubted what he was ordered to. Escort her out of the castle? Instead of killing her?

There was no movement from both of them for some time. They were staring at each other, trying to figure out each other\'s intention. "You hear the King," the guard said as he mind-linked the other guards to come and help, just in case this girl was up to good and did her magic again.

After all, he had seen what this girl was capable of doing when she created the destruction and turned the castle into a complete mess. "Now, I will escort you out of this castle." Then he saw the girl rolling her eyes, looking fed up with the nonsense that she had been forcedly facing all day.

"I don\'t take orders from the King," said Lilac. There were three more guards coming from the bushes. She wasn\'t scared of them. Even with injuries, Lilac was confident that she could defeat the four of them alone in a matter of seconds. Thus she didn\'t take them seriously.

"You must obey the King\'s orders!" the other guards shouted at her. Still, they knew better to not make any stupid move when they saw vines and roots emerging from the ground. They needed to carefully not cross her, because clearly she was already back to her combat mode.

"Well, he is YOUR King! He is not MY King!" Lilac shouted. She was irritated just to hear them talking. She didn\'t have the obligation to follow his words. She was not a subject to no king. That tyrant Lycan King should go down and rotten in the deepest part of hell!

But, before this argument could turn into something worse, there was the fifth person emerging from the darkness beside Lilac. His movement was stealthy that Lilac wasn\'t even aware of his presence, until he started to talk, "All of you can go," Maximus said as he waved his hand towards the guards.

"But, The King—" one of the guards retorted. But, the look in Maximus\'s eyes made him hold his tongue and stopped his sentence. Instead he lowered his head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

With the four guards left the scene, Maximus stayed behind with the girl. "If I\'m not mistaken, you did introduce yourself.?It\'s Lilac, isn\'t it?" said Maximus while giving Lilac a harmless smile.

She squinted her eyes and said, "And you are?"

"I am Maximus, the leader of the seven generals." Maximus introduced himself, bowed his body slightly gesturing his politeness.

Upon hearing his name, Lilac stared back at him resentfully. "What do you want?" she kept her voice steady and calm, trying hard to hold back her anger.

"I know who you are. You were not lying when you said you are a guardian angel," said Maximus lightly. "I will help you to convince the Alpha."

Lilac sneered. "Oh really? Would it be just like how you helped him to strangle me to death years ago?"
