The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 744 - THE PREPARATION

"If he let you to decide, then I will assume you will agree with me." In one glance Serefina could tell what kind of answer Lilac would give. "Then, I think our discussion is over. So, excused me." The witch wiped her mouth and stood up from her seat.

With Jedrek and Serefina left the dining room, Lilac was sitting there alone with her food was barely touched.

This would be a long and hard journey for them.

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

The night was glowing with the bright city lights and the starry sky. The scenery beautiful that Serefina could see from her balcony.

She had been here once long time ago when Jedrek visited this city with his father and Torak. They met in one of the inn and spent the night there. That happened long time ago and almost felt like all of those memories came from another life.

The witch stood there, basking with the light of the full moon. Tonight was exceptionally bright.

Full moon…

"D*mn…" Serefina cursed in low voice. She forgot this…

This would be another long night.

She needed to bar the door… thus, she walked with her hand on the wall, tracing her fingers while changing a spell in an ancient language over and over again.

And the moment she reached the door, she repeated the spell when the pain started to gnaw every inch of her skin and she was having a hard time to breathe.

Serefina hated this when she was in this state. It reminded her about how vulnerable she was.

She hated when she had to writhe in pain and begged for this to stop.

She bit her lips very hard when she trudged toward her bed. Even the comfort of it couldn\'t reduce her pain in the slightest.

She hated all of this…

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

"The pure blood witch is here…" a man spoke in the darkness, to his own shadow and listened to what it whispered back to him. "Hmm…" he hummed and nodded his head.

The shadow reported to him what it knew and the man told him what he heard. They were exchanging information…

"So… it happened to the witch every full moon and it happened to the guardian angel when in a moonless night… hmm… I know… tell them about this… so do I, I can feel the hatred from the witch is growing stronger in every seconds she watch her ex- lover with his mate…" he kept talking for a little while longer until the shadow disappeared and left the general alone in the dark.

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

Lilac was surrounded with a few servants who were asking about the preparation of the mating ceremony while Jedrek was out of sight most of the time and gave all the responsibility for the upcoming event, fully on her shoulders.

"Silver or gold?" Keira, the woman with blonde hair, red lips and killer body, asked Lilac, she was holding a note to write down everything that they should do according to Lilac\'s preference. "Gold looks regal, but silver is the Alpha color."

"Silver then…" Lilac sighed. She was boring. She had been sitting on this chair and propped her head lazily for more than an hour now.

The guardian angel couldn\'t understand why she had to deal with these unimportant things? They had devils out there, who wouldn\'t give a glance to wait, to tear them apart, not to mention a mating ceremony.

Lilac had talked about this thing since two days ago since Serefina arrived. She felt a little bit bad for having this ceremony in her presence, but none of Jedrek or Serefina gave a sign that they were not comfortable with this.

It was Lilac who was not comfortable with this.

Jedrek would insist for this to happen before anything else, as if his life depended on this and Serefina would only reward all the preparation with expressionless face. No one would know for sure what the witch had in her mind. She was hard to predict.

When Keira was asking about what kind of flower she wanted, Keira entered the room and stood across the table, crossing her arms arrogantly.

This was the first time Lilac was so happy to see her after two days straight being ignored completely. But, Lilac felt like they were playing hide and seek.

When Jedrek could smell the witch\'s scent from a mile away, Serefina would know where Jedrek was, with her magic. This situation was really frustrating.

"Leave us alone," Lilac said to Keira and the other servants.

"But, the king said…" Keira didn\'t finish her words, she glanced at Serefina fearfully. The female werewolf heard about one or two stories about the witch and knew that what the people had said was true.

"What the king said?" Lilac asked, but Serefina was aware what order that possibly Jedrek gave to them.

"Your future queen said, leave us alone." Serefina pulled a chair in front of her and sat down. "That is a direct order."

"But…" Keira tried to argue with her, but Serefina cut her off.

"Disrespecting your queen, it means disrespecting your king. Should I remind you about the punishment?" Serefina looked at her long- polished nail thoughtfully.

"Go," Lilac didn\'t want to have another headache. If Serefina finally decided to stop pretending that she was not exist, then it meant there was something important that she wanted to discuss, and by all means, Lilac was more interested to hear what the witch wanted to say rather than Keira\'s endless suggestion.

"Yes, your grace…" Keira lowered her head, but took another wary glance at Serefina when she left the room with three female werewolves behind her.

"Your grace…" Serefina enunciated the title mockingly. "I like how it sounds."

"I offered you the chance to have it, but you didn\'t take it." Lilac shrugged and leaned her back against the backrest. "So, don\'t regret it."

"Nah, it doesn\'t suit me, I don\'t want to live in a golden cage." Serefina bit back.

It seemed, their meeting would not be complete without starting with a few sarcastic words.
