The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 839 - I WISH YOUR DEATH

Chapter 839 - I WISH YOUR DEATH

"Congratulations, the baby seems very healthy," Eaton said casually to Lana when she stood beside him, with his eyes on Lana's stomach.

However, his casual remark made the surrounding conversations die down and the three guardian angels, along with Calleb turned their heads toward them.

"Baby?"

"What do you mean by baby?"

Their questions echoed inside the room and gradually their focus shifted to Lana.

"Are you pregnant?" Calleb asked Lana, he moved closer to her and started to sniff her before Raphael pushed him aside.

"What are you doing sniffing my mate as you wish?" Raphael asked grumpily, he shoved Calleb away and pulled Lana closer to him.

Calleb ignored the hostility in Raphael's voice toward him as his eyes widened in surprise.

"What is it?" Raine asked immediately, approaching Lana with Hope in her tow.

They knew that the shifters had a sensitive nose, thus it was not surprising if they could smell something from Lana if she was really pregnant.

"She is really pregnant!" Calleb exclaimed loudly and looked at Lana in disbelief.

"Really?"Raine and Hope squalled, even Lilac clapped her hands happily and congratulated Lana from her bed, since she was still not feeling better enough to get off of it.

"You didn't realized it until now?" Eaton looked at Calleb, how could he be so dense to not realize something like this, when they met a few times already.

"No, I was not aware that her scent changed…" Calleb shook his head absentmindedly. He felt bad for not realizing this immediately.

"But, isn't Lana and Raphael just met only for around two months? But, Lana is already pregnant?" Hope looked at Lana and Raphael in confusion. "Wasn't that very fast?"

Raine also looked at them, asking for explanation.

And it was Eaton who fed the guardian angel's curiosity. "For shifters like us, the pregnancy will only take five and half months," he said. "And most of us, shifters, would mate and mark as soon as we found our other half, because right after we mark our mate, the female shifter would go through heat and it was the perfect time to have pups."

That sequence, was indeed true for a normal couple, where they mark and mate right after they met, but it was quite different for Raine, Hope and Lilac.

Though Lilac had went through all of the aforementioned events and was just waiting for her heat to come, but Hope and Raine had gone through heat, yet their mates didn't do the things that must have been completed.

"You better stay close to Jedrek, as your heat will come within days," Eaton said teasingly to Lilac and the guardian angel chose to avoid his eyes by looking at Lana.

And then, they spent the rest of the day by talking about a beautiful name for Lana and Raphael's firstborn.

At this time, the atmosphere felt very light, as if every moment was only filled with pure happiness, as the bright afternoon sun streamed down from the open window and illuminated the room, it felt warm and gentle, as though what had happened a few days ago had never occurred in the first place.

They should cherish this moment, because they would have a hard time to even smile in the near future, when everything fall apart and the situation turned worse.

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

Jedrek waved his hand and the guard opened the cell immediately upon seeing that his king and the other Donovan brothers came to this place.

Inside the cell, Chiron was held captive, chained in place. He was forced to sit on the ground with chains locked around his wrists, ankles and his torso.

The chief of the centaur looked beat and the wound on his stomach had festered, yet Jedrek didn't felt an ounce of pity when he saw it.

If Raine hadn't stop the time, it would have been Lilac in his place, suffering from that wound, or worse; she could have already been dead by now, thus Jedrek didn't have an ounce of sympathy for him. He could bleed and die for all he cared.

Jedrek waved his hand again and the three guards, who were guarding near the cell, left them.

Chiron raised his head and his eyes met Jedrek's. The chief of the centaur didn't say anything, as if he knew what Jedrek would ask him and he was ready for that.

"What did the devils offered to you for bringing my mate to them?" Jedrek asked in deep voice. He looked down at Chiron, who was sitting on the ground in a weird position, since his lower body which a resembled horse's back, was bent in an odd angle.

"Your death," Chiron said in a matter of fact tone.

Torak narrowed his eyes and Kace gritted his teeth, balling his fists beside his body. This was not the Chiron he knew.

"Are you disappointed to see me alive now?" Jedrek asked again.

"No," Chiron said. "You didn't face death yet, but you will die eventually," Chiron said in ambiguity.

"You mean I will lose the war?" Jedrek raised his eyebrows, he didn't mind to kill this creature right then and there, but he had some other idea in his mind.

Lilac would most likely not agree with his punishment, but she couldn't take this away from him. He had spent torturous days and nights staring at her sleeping face, wondering when she would wake up.

And now, when her condition got better, Jedrek would do anything that he thought Chiron deserved to receive it.

"Either that one, or you will live the rest of your eternity while wishing you are dead instead," Chiron spoke calmly in the same tone that he always used, despite the wound that he suffered, he didn't look like he would back down at all, his eyes looked at Jedrek sharply.

"You are very sure about that," Jedrek sneered.

"The devils got the blood from the three guardian angels and your mate's blood was taken by the red haired witch herself," Chiron informed them. "And you know that the witch knows more about the guardian angels than you do, yet she is no longer on your side."
