The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 1105: Side story: he didn\'t need anything else

It had been a few days since rain would pour down the earth every night in this realm, as if the gloomy days were not enough to torture Jedrek\'s shattered heart.

Below him, he could see the lilac flowers bloomed, yet its beauty had to bow down toward the storm that raged that night.

The beautiful flowers looked pitiful under this stormy night…

Yet, Jedrek knew they would survive and showed their grace tomorrow when all of this was over, just like Lilac… she would come back stronger every time someone put her down.

His beautiful flower…

Yet, the question was; would she comeback again this time? Would she choose to return to his side again, for one more time? To give the king a chance to repent for the horrible mistakes that he had done? To give him a chance to treat her better the way she deserved?

Lilac was wrong when she said that one the mate bond between them was no longer there, Jedrek would be fine to live his life without any care about the feeling for her, which was no other than a feeling that was forced onto him by the mate bond.

She was wrong.

Because the truth was; Jedrek was nothing but fine at this point. He felt like walking in the edge of the world once again. The waiting was killing him… especially when deep down in his heart, he knew that there was only a slightest chance that Lilac would willingly go back together with him.

The sadness and the pain in her gaze before the fire from the crater of hell burned her body, was something that haunted Jedrek in his nightmares and days.

Years had passed, but there was no sign of her, though there was not a single second that passed without Jedrek was looking for her, not even her scent.

At that time, thunder pierced Jedrek\'s ears and light ripped the dark night apart, illuminating the garden that filled with lilac flowers for a brief moment, but it was enough for Jedrek to catch a glimpse of one of the lilac flowers that was almost toppled down by the strong wind.

A frown engraved on Jedrek\'s forehead when he saw that and without a second thought he jumped down and landed gracefully on the watery ground, let the rain poured on him and got him soaking wet, yet that was the last thing that he cared at this time.

Darkness made it hard for Jedrek to see straight ahead, but he knew by instinct where exactly the location of that poor flower was, thus he moved without hesitation.

People, who saw him would think that he had lost his mind for being so impulsive to save a mere plant from this raging storm in the middle of the night, but Jedrek had indeed lost his mind and soul, and it had been a long time since those two could work properly.

Therefore, here he was, the king of the lycanthropes, getting all soak, trying to hold back the plant.

Jedrek used both of his hands to hold it, while closing his eyes, felt the strong and harsh wind grazed him.

However, after a certain moment he closed his eyes, all of sudden everything became very quiet. There was no longer the sound of thunder or the merciless wind that tortured him.

Everything went silence and tranquility engulfed him…

Frowning, Jedrek opened his eyes slowly and to his surprised he found himself inside a comfortable and warm room.

However, the most shocking part was; there was someone else beside him and it was the woman that he had longed for…

The true essence of his existence, his salvation, the reasons behind his every smile…

"Lilac…?" Jedrek called her name, but it sounded like a whisper. He looked at his mate with unbelievable eyes, while his mind was very slow to comprehend the situation he was in now…

Only after a long period of moment that Jedrek finally got his memories back and realized what he experienced earlier was only a nightmare.

No, actually it was not a nightmare, since those things indeed happened to him during the years when he was waiting for his mate to return.

Jedrek rubbed his face harshly and he could feel the remaining tears from the corner of his eyes.

Oh, Selene… it was only a dream… a dream from his darkest days…

Even now Jedrek could still feel the cold wind from that night, as his body shivered involuntarily. He then moved closer to Lilac and hugged her tightly, buried his nose on the crook of her shoulder and took the liberty to breath in her scent.

It was proven that her scent could calm his wrecking nerves and gave him the peace that he really sought of.

His mate was here and that was all what matter for now.

Jedrek couldn\'t be more glad than this.

As long as Lilac was beside him, he wouldn\'t ask for anything else. It would be greedy of him if he did so. However, maybe he was a little bit wrong…

When Jedrek felt Lilac shifted her position to find a comfortable spot within his embrace, at that time he heard a soft mumble not too far from there.

The sound was enchanting and the familiar scent exhilarated the beast inside of him, as it perked its ears, urged Jedrek to go and take a look.

Of course Jedrek knew whose mumbling it was…

Slowly and gently, Jedrek got off of the bed, but before he walked away, he tucked Lilac beneath the warm blanket and landed a soft kiss on her forehead, caressing her head and smiled indulgently at his sleeping mate.

Lilac was so beautiful as ever, even though she was in deep sleep and her cherry lips slightly parted.

After a few more moment worshipping his mate, Jedrek walked to the source of the mumbling sound and found his son was awake.

The baby was playing with his stubby fingers, while making weird sounds. He looked happy, while playing by himself.

The baby was only six month, but one could see that he got the Donovan\'s blue eyes, but his lips and the warm smiled that grazed his lips very often, he got it from Lilac, since Jedrek didn\'t really like to smile even when he was only a child.

The baby\'s blue eyes caught Jedrek\'s figure, who was standing silently beside his crib, and then he extended his short and small hands, opening and closing his small palms, while laughing, as if he was talking to Jedrek, yet there was a single word that he could articulate clearly.

But, it didn\'t matter, because the moment Jedrek put his finger on his palms and he wrapped it tightly, a big, toothless smile broke on his lips.

And the sight brought Jedrek to tears…

He got Lilac by his side and now they had their beautiful son…

Jedrek felt complete and he didn\'t need anything else…
