The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 1024 - THIS WILL END SOON

In this room, apart from the bed occupied by Hope, there were two other beds, one occupied by Serefina and the third one occupied by Lilac and Hope\'s unconscious bodies.

Although she was still too confused why she was inside Raine\'s body, Hope cared more about the witch.

Serefina didn\'t move and with just one look, Hope knew that her condition was not okay. Something happened to her.

Hope immediately got out of bed and approached Serefina, who still had her eyes closed shut with a pale face. She immediately climbed onto the bed and knelt beside her, with unconcealed worriedness in her eyes.

"What happened to her?" Hope glanced at Lydia, trying to figure out what really happened.

She couldn\'t stand seeing Serefina being in such a vulnerable and hopeless state, as if every inch of her body was screaming weakness.

"Raine... oh, I mean Hope..." Lidya shook her head, to remind herself that the Raine before her eyes now was Hope. "She is having side effects from what she had done, but Serefina will be fine."

"Is she?" Hope narrowed her eyes in disbelief. Whatever it was, Serefina\'s condition didn\'t look she would be recovered anytime soon. "She doesn\'t look like she is okay to me."

"She is just injured. Hope..." Lidya then explained why Serefina\'s condition had deteriorated drastically and also the side effects she suffered after absorbing the energy from the guardian angels\' blood.

Hope listened to all that silently as tears began to flow down her cheeks. She hugged the stubborn witch\'s body and buried her face between her shoulders.

"I am sorry… I am sorry that I doubted you…" Hope cried, her body trembling violently when she felt the piercing pain in her chest after finally knowing how much Serefina had to sacrifice for all of them.

"Hope..." Lidya rubbed Hope\'s shoulder gently, trying to calm the girl. After all, Hope had known Serefina from the very first day she stepped in to this world.

Serefina was the one who brought her to Kace, who took her under her wing and introduced her to the supernatural world and educated her.

The witch was Hope\'s protector in every way possible.

Although the way Serefina raised Hope had not always been pleasant and was almost filled with quarrels and tension here and there, Hope always respected her and… loved her.

Likewise Serefina. She treated Hope differently from how she treated the other guardian angels. Because no matter what, Serefina had witnessed the girl grew up herself.

It couldn\'t be avoided that some of Hope\'s stubbornness and sarcasm were indeed rubbed onto her from Serefina.

"I am sorry…" Hope said with a trembling voice in Serefina\'s ear.

And right after that moment she heard Serefina\'s voice, though very weak, but Hope could still hear a trace of her quirkiness in those few words.

"What are you crying about? I am not dead yet," Serefina grumbled softly, but because Hope was so close to her, she could hear clearly.

"Serefina, are you awake?"

"Get away from me, you\'re making it difficult for me to breathe," she kept grumbling and pushed Raine\'s body away from her.

Hope immediately sat down and wiped her tears, distancing herself from Serefina. "Are you okay?"

"I am still alive," Serefina growled, then opened her eyes, she blinked several times to adjust to the light in the room. "Where are they?"

Serefina then looked at Lidya, who was nodding her head, and found Hope and Lilac\'s bodies who were still lying there.

Then her eyes fell on Raine next to her. "Hope?"

"Yes, it is me." Hope nodded, hurriedly wiping away her tears. "Why am I inside Raine\'s body?"

"Because I want you to do something," said Serefina and with the help of Lidya and Hope, she tried to sit up.

After confirming that she was all right, she walked slowly toward Hope and Lilac\'s bodies.

"Do you remember what happened in the realm before?" Serefina asked, her bony fingers tracing Hope\'s then Lilac\'s face.

And at the mention of that, Hope immediately remembered what had happened.

Lucifer...

"What happened to Lucifer?" Hope asked. "Will he be locked up there forever?"

"No, not forever… but, we have to move now to end this." Serefina shook her head.

"Then why am I inside Raine\'s body instead of mine?" Hope looked at herself, it felt strange when you owned a body that was not yours.

"Because she still has not come back," Serefina said with a frown, looking at Hope who was inside Raine\'s body. "And only she is capable of warding off my spell."

This was another reason why Serefina gave the unicorn horn to Raine, the function of the magical item was to ward off the curse and as only Raine had it, without her soul, Raine\'s body would be empty and only Hope could possess the empty body.

What happened to this guardian angel? Why hasn\'t she returned yet?

"Then what about Lilac? Why is she still unconscious as well?" Hope approached Serefina and looked at the bodies of the two guardian angels lying unconscious on the third bed.

As if answering Hope\'s question, Lilac then let out a low groan and opened her eyes.

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

"Okay," Bree heard Kace\'s voice, who had managed to persuade her, he crouched down in front of the little girl and grabbed her trembling shoulders. "Just concentrate on what you feel and don\'t fight it."

Kace and the others were quite surprised to find out that Bree was a air dragon shifter. It had been a long time since the last time they got to hear any news about that beast.

Now that they saw the young figure of that kind of dragon shifter, the fact that no one knew what had happened to her predecessors invaded their thoughts.

But, that wasn\'t the main issue right now, because the most important thing now was getting Bree to shift into her beast form willingly.

"I am afraid," Bree said sullenly, she looked at Kace and then at Jedrek and Torak.

"There\'s nothing you need to be afraid of, they are here to guide you," Kace said soothingly and waved his hand at Stephan and Draco who were already in their dragon forms.

After thinking for a moment, Bree nodded. "Okay."
