Chapter 795 - THE DAY OF THE CEREMONY (8)

"It's really over… it's really over now…" Serefina mumbled repeatedly in a devastating yet trembling tone. She raised her head and looked at Kace deeply. A sorrowful tear fell on her cheek when she bit her lips in order to keep her emotions from resurfacing, yet she failed miserably.

Her breathing became uneven when Serefina tried to understand that the only thing what she ever wanted, but she knew she would lose it eventually. This was the price that she needed to pay for being alive once again.

Now, when she finally came to think of this once again, she didn't know whether it was the right decision that she made back then with Selene, the moon goddess. If it was even worthy?

The pain was almost unbearable for Serefina to bear and her knees went weak as she fell to the ground with a raging heart.

Everything seemed dull in her eyes and nothing was important now. The knowledge of losing someone, who was so dear to her heart, didn't cease her pain at all.

Her ears were ringing with the third sound of the bells from the towers. This bell indicated that the king and queen had sealed their fate together for the eternity. Jedrek and Lilac had united as the rulers for this realm.

Didn't that mean that one of the tasks had been completed? But, why didn't Serefina feel that she had accomplished something important?

Back then, the only thing that she wanted was to see Jedrek again, but now her greedy heart wanted more.

Serefina clutched her aching chest and gritted her teeth. It almost felt like someone stabbed her right through her heart but she couldn't even bleed. She couldn't cure this kind of wound neither could she think that she could heal from it ever.

"Serefina, are you okay?" Hope asked in concern. She looked at Kace and asked him what they should do? Serefina had never been like this before. No matter how hard the situation that she had to face, she would raise her head arrogantly and threw one or two sarcastic words while keep going.

Knowing Serefina for years and seeing her in this state now, it was like the witch had turned into completely someone else.

"Serefina…" Hope called her name urgently when she watched the witch dug her nails into the solid ground and hurt herself. "Stop it…" she didn't realize it when her own tears started falling on her cheeks to witness the strongest woman that she had ever known crumbled because of her own uncontrollable sorrow.

"Serefina stop." Kace said sternly. He reached out to her, but the witch struggled from his grasp, didn't want to be touched.

"Leave me alone." Serefinaexpended the remaining of her strength to muster those words. She felt weak, but filled with anger at the same time.

"No." Kace pulled Hope to his back, as he knew what would come next.

"I said. Leave. Me. Alone."Serefina emphasized every word and glared viciously at Kace when the lycan didn't do what she told him.

Serefina hated the fact that some part of his face resembled Jedrek. Especially those blue eyes. The three Donovan shared the same blue ocean eyes, but Jedrek's slightly darker. Serefina remembered that tiny detail of him.

"Step back," Kace told Hope in low voice and she nodded before moving away from the two of them. Things wouldn't be pretty if Serefina's current mood got worse and more so with Kace's stubbornness.

No matter what Serefina said, they wouldn't leave her alone in her current state.

"Serefina, you know this will happen…" Kace tried to talk to her, but she shook her head vigorously, kept pulling and twisting a few strands of her red hair.

"I know. I know. I know!" she shouted in the end. "So, why? I don't even have the right to feel this way!?"

"Come here." Kace moved closer and stretched out his arms, but Serefina pushed his chest away.

"Don't come near me or I will burn you alive!" Serefina screamed, she looked as if she went crazy and a mad woman would be in a better state than her.

Yet, Kace didn't heed to her warnings and hugged her instead, despite of her attempts to free herself.

The front of Kace's shirt burned because of the heat Serefina had released while scalding his skin in the process. He groaned in pain, but didn't let her go.

"Kace!" Hope was terrified when she watched this, but Kace warned her to not come any closer.

"No! Stay there!" he said between his gritted teeth. "D*mn it! Serefina! Stop it!"

"LET. ME. GO!" Serefina screamed on top of her lungs. She hated this painful feeling and what more was the fact she couldn't let it go.

"Serefina stop!" Hope shrieked when a blue flame circled around the two of them and Serefina's screaming was the only thing that she could hear.

The flame was burning brightly until Hope couldn't see the two of them. She was panic stricken when she couldn't even stand within two steps from it.

What happened? Did Serefina burn them alive? Did she kill Kace? What exactly had happened?

Hope's body was trembling in fear and her mind froze with the thought of the worst possible thing that could happen to the two of them.

"Kace! Serefina!" Hope shouted to the blue fire, but the only reply that she got was the screams of Serefina. At least she knew that the witch was still alive. However, how about Kace? "Stop it please…" Hope sobbed and fell to the ground when her knees went weak to support her body.

It felt like forever when finally Serefina stopped screaming and the blue flames snuffed out, leaving another crater.

And then, Hope could see Kace, who was still hugging Serefina's body. White smoke appeared from both of them and their clothes were torn and burned in some parts, yet the sound of a soft grunt from Kace told her that he was still alive.

And like that, Serefina cried her heart out in Kace's embrace. The sorrowful cries pierced into Hope's heart, as if she could feel her pain and this made her crying for what the witch was going through.
