Chapter 698 - BAD INFLUENCE

Lilac followed Jedrek to the city, they were walking side to side with Theo and Warlock behind them and behind the two generals were a few lycan warriors.

Their small group attracted too much attention from passerby, for Lilac liking, as they bowed their head very low to their King.

"Why are you taking me to the city?" Lilac asked while looking at her surroundings. Stand after stand

"So, you will familiarize yourself with this realm. Starting from this city," Jedrek said.

"And, why should I familiarize myself with all of this?" Lilac felt like it was a hard job to understand the lycan beside her. He changed his mood and the way he treated her every time they met.

For a few days Jedrek was missing until Lilac felt she was being abandoned after their kissing the other night, as if he didn't want have anything to do with her, but now he wanted her to familiarize herself with this realm as if she was about to live here forever.

There was no forever for guardian angel… they were resurrected for a mission…

Jedrek didn't reply to her immediately, but when he decided to answer, his words surprised Lilac. "You are my mate, it means you will be their queen too."

Lilac raised her eyebrows at Jedrek when a lot of sarcastic words roamed around her head, but she was having a hard time to choose, which one she should use, in the end, it was only a simply question that passed her lips. "So, you relent now?"

"I think it is too late for us to go against it." Jedrek glanced at Lilac, who was staring at him since he said those words. "You are right, the war is getting closer and that is the important thing now."

Lilac shook her head, didn't believe with what she heard. "Just focus on the war, there is no need for me to know about your realm."

So, when finally the King realized what she said was true, their relationship turned from trying to hurt each other to become two people with the same interest and goal?

Ignoring Lilac's blunt rejection, Jedrek spoke. "There are a lot of customs that you need to know."

Lilac scoffed, knowing her words would turn into a deaf ear. "I don't think I will or want to learn that."

"You will. It takes time, but you will learn. Sometime, it's better to be thrown into water when learning how to swim." Once again Jedred didn't heed to Lilac's objection.

"And sometime you drown," Lilac quipped.

"As the future queen, no one will let you drown." Jedrek intertwined their hands together as they walked down the street, gaining curious gazes from his people.

============== 

"What do you think they were talking about?" Hope asked Hope as they sat down on the grass, staring at their mates who were talking at each other with face that devoid from any emotion.

"I don't know, it is hard to guess whether they are in argumentation or they have had truce, when they have not yet changed their facial expression since two hours ago," Hope replied.

Raine chuckled, she liked Hope with her witty remark. She looked so bright and brave. "I am glad they don't claw each other's face."

"Yeah, I am glad too." Hope laughed with her as they talked about their mate and everything, it seemed like they would never run out of topic to talk.

Meanwhile, Calleb and Jack were standing not too far from them, guarding the two girls, who didn't seem really care about them, as they chatted away.

"I have never seen Raine this happy." Jack was the first guard that Torak assigned to protect Raine when Serefina took her out of their territory. At that time, Raine was barely talking and too shy to even look someone in the eyes.

Of course, the scene before him now was something Jack never imagined would happen in a year. It seemed the witch had put extra measure in her time with Raine, but the result was proof that was what Raine needed, especially in their circ.u.mstances with the devils and their minions lurked in the dark now.

"I think she finds another soulmate," Calleb spoke sullenly.

"What happened with you?" Jack tilted his head as he threw the Gamma a questioning look.

They were standing under a tree that kept raining them with dry leaves.

"What happened with me?" Calleb frowned.

"Your tone."

"What happened with my tone?"

Jack narrowed his eyes, assessing his fellow lycan. "Don't tell me you are jealous because Luna has another friend."

Calleb rolled his eyes dramatically, but that was not completely wrong. He indeed felt a little bit annoyed because Raine didn't bother with him anymore.

Calleb used to accompany Raine and was used to seeing her annoying or clinging to him all the time., thus seeing her didn't bother with him anymore, he felt abandoned.

Finally, after two hours long, Torak and Kace ended their conversation and went back to their mates, who had been waiting for them.

Though Torak and Kace said for them to stay where they had left the two, but when they watched Hope and Raine followed after them, they just glanced toward their direction before continued whatever topic they were discussing.

"Didn't I tell you to stay with Calleb and Jack?" Torak asked Raine when he reached her.

"There they are." Raine pointed her finger toward Calleb and Jack. "I stay with them," she said cheekily and Torak couldn't counter that.

"And you," Kace knocked Hope's head lightly. "Didn't I tell you to stay there?"

Hope crossed her arms defiantly. "Stay where? Give specific area. I'm not wandering far from the tent."

Kace groaned and he threw Torak a look. "Your mate brings bad influence to my mate," he accused Raine. "Let's go eat something, I am hungry. Talking to him drain my energy." Kace grabbed Hope's hand and took her away toward the tent.
