The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 1093: Side story: decision (2)

For fifteen full minutes, Lilac struggled with her nausea and during that time, Jedrek stayed by her side and patiently tried to make her feel better.

"We should go to the hospital," Jedrek said in a firmer tone, while Lilac kept shaking her head to refuse his suggestion though her face looked even paler. This sight frustrated him greatly.

Lilac felt another wave of sickness and she finally gave up…

"Okay…" she complied, nodding her head weakly.

And with that permission, Jedrek didn\'t waste any more time to pick her up and drape a warm jacket on her shoulders, after that he carried her to the parking lot, where he put her down carefully and secured her with a seatbelt.

"Do you feel comfortable this way?" Jedrek asked, worriness could clearly be heard in his voice, and only after he saw Lilac mumble something as a \'yes\', he walked around the car and sat down behind the wheel.

Jedrek was too nervous and tensed right at this moment, as the only thing in his mind was to get Lilac to the hospital immediately.

"Where did you go last night?" Lilac asked to break the silence between them and to find comfort by hearing Jedrek\'s voice, because seeing her mate going all panicked only made her feel even worser.

Jedrek mumbled something incoherently and glanced at Lilac briefly, almost like he was reluctant to answer that simple question of his mate.

"What is it?" Lilac frowned because she couldn\'t listen to him clearly. "Where did you go?"

Jedrek shook his head and glanced at Lilac again before he focused on the road ahead of them. "We will talk about this later when you feel better."

Lilac wanted to be stubborn like usual, but seeing the way Jedrek looked at her, she knew there was no room for argumentation when he was being like this, thus she didn\'t ask him any further and instead chose to concentrate on making her sickness feel better in this moving car.

It took around fifteen minutes before they arrived at the hospital and Lilac got the treatment that she needed.

When Lilac was being checked inside the room, Jedrek was waiting right outside the door. With his ability, he could hear the beeping sound from the machines that the doctor used on Lilac and what instructions she had given to her, but there were a few times here and there that he couldn\'t hear clearly.

It had been a while since Jedrek felt this kind of tension and he really didn\'t like this feeling especially when it had something to do with his mate.

Even ten minutes of waiting was too much for him. There were several times he wanted to barge into the room and ask the doctor what happened to her himself. Was she alright? Is there something crucial that happened to her?

Okay, maybe this was ridiculous, but Jedrek couldn\'t help but think about Lilac\'s human body. He was well aware how fragile and weak a human\'s body was and he hated that fact!

Though it was only ten minutes, but Jedrek felt like he had been waiting forever, hence when the door finally opened, he immediately went into the room and approached his beautiful but now pale mate on the hospital bed with the doctor beside her.

"How is she? Is she all right?" He didn\'t wait for another second to know how Lilac\'s condition was. "Nothing major happened, right?"

Lilac touched Jedrek\'s arm to calm the king down, it seemed like he was ready to wreck some havoc if something major were to happen to her.

The truth was; Lilac felt him overreacting was kind of cute. It was strange to have this feeling when she felt like the world around her was spinning, but seeing how worried Jedrek was about her, warmed her heart.

The doctor gave Jedrek a soft smile while she sat back on her chair behind the desk, as Jedrek helped Lilac to sit down on the examining bed.

"Your wife is perfectly fine," the doctor said in a light tone, staring at Jedrek with a meaningful gaze. "But, maybe this can be a serious thing for both of you."

Lilac smiled softly when she saw Jedrek\'s reaction when he heard what the doctor said. She didn\'t know that Jedrek could frown really hard like that.

"What do you mean?" Jedrek asked in a harsh tone, though he didn\'t mean it that way. If it was in his realm and the person that he was facing now was his subordinate or a healer in the palace, he would have gone all Alpha on her by now.

Unfortunately, he couldn\'t do that because Lilac would hate it when he did that. Jedrek had learnt it for more than two years now.

"Congratulations!" The doctor clapped her hands and smiled widely. "She is expecting."

This time, Lilac giggled softly while caressing Jedrek\'s arm that held her body. She looked at Jedrek and waited for his reaction.

However, the only word that came out of the king\'s mouth was barely a whisper. "What…?" Then he became silent. Completely silent.

Jedrek being so quiet left the doctor confused and she second guessed her congratulatory words. "Do you expect a child, sir?"

She thought Jedrek was not happy with this news, but fortunately, Lilac knew her mate better than anyone else.

"He is happy," Lilac whispered to the doctor, while still caressing Jedrek\'s arm. "He just needs time to discern this information."

The smile on the doctor\'s lips returned as she resigned herself to give the couple some much needed alone time. "I will be back to run another check on you," she said with consideration.

Lilac reciprocated her smile and watched as the doctor walk out of the room, leaving them alone.

"Are you happy?" Lilac cupped Jedrek\'s face and stared straight into his eyes. She could see a lot of emotions swirling in those captivating blue eyes that were flickering between blue and black.

Jedrek didn\'t answer her for a few minutes before he said in hoarse voice. "Are you really pregnant?"

Lilac smiled and nodded. She knew that Jedrek was only dumbstruck with the news, because there was no way he wouldn\'t be happy with this. Having first child was a big deal for the lycans. No matter how fierce they were, it was almost impossible to see a lycan who would despise their own flesh and blood.

"Yes, I am." Lilac emphasized her words, making everything sound more real for Jedrek.

"Are you for real?" Jedrek was still in disbelief.

"Yes," Lilac kissed his lips. "How do you feel now?"

Jedrek shook his head, and Lilac saw his gaze softening gradually. "I don\'t know… I don\'t know…" he then pulled Lilac closer to him and hugged her very gently, as if she would break if he put too much pressure on her.

There was a serene silence that enveloped the room, as they hugged each other, until Lilac remembered something that she wanted to know.

"Where did you go last night?" She pulled away from his hug and looked at him questioningly.

"Oh, I was…" Jedrek grimaced, he was not sure if this was the right time to tell Lilac about this…

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

An innocent piece of paper was being crumpled under the pressure of the Supreme Alpha\'s hand, as his eyes flickered from blue to black.

"What is going on in his mind?!" He looked pissed at whatever news that he received this morning and the paper became his sole victim to release some stress upon.

Calleb, who just entered the room, immediately felt Torak\'s negative emotions and was about to step back. He knew better than to approach this annoyed lycan at this moment.

However, luck seemed not to be on his side when Torak caught sight of him and ordered the Beta to enter the room.

"Find out why Jedrek did this in my territory!" Torak was very upset when he found out about what Jedrek had done. "I have let him stay in this realm, but this is too much."

"What happened?" Just then, Raine came into the room and heard her mate\'s harsh voice. She looked at Calleb and Torak, but the Alpha was too upset to answer her, thus she turned her attention to the Beta. "What happened to him?"

Calleb then walked closer to Raine and whispered. "Apparently, Jedrek bought a huge house like a castle in his territory and this upset him."

And Raine giggled upon hearing this. Another siblings quarrel…

Yes, Torak didn\'t like it if his brother had a plan to stay forever in his land.
