The Love of a Lycan-Chapter 1072: Sacrifice

Jedrek raised his head out of surprise, he didn't think that Lilac would answer him in that manner, but before he could utter anything more, Lilac beat him to it.

"That's a fact. Once I am gone, and the mate bond is snapped, you will not think of me the way you are thinking now or feel the pain as excruciating as you are experiencing now." Lilac raised her head and met Jedrek's gaze with her eyes. "Once all of this was over, we will be nothing to each other, but two people that once got to know each other and then turned into complete strangers. The mate bond was what binding us together, Jedrek..."

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

Raine and everyone could see that the humans they were fighting against in this war didn't look normal. Something was totally off with them, especially their eyes.

Their eyes were ones that of a golden shade. So much similar to those of the devils'.

If this keep going on, it wouldn't be a wonder if another thousand human beings lost their lives today. ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

[Torak, take me to the center.] Raine mind- linked Torak, as the beast kept slashing his sharp claws and baring his teeth at the humans that kept attacking them.

Silver bullets were shot, aimed at the shifters, if it was not for the witches and magicians' constant interference, those shifters would have died with dozens of bullet holes in their bodies.

The white beast roared when he leapt onto a massive iron vehicle and forced himself through the human barricade while dodging several bullets that were aimed at him.

Raine looked around and stopped some bullets that the witches couldn't manage to stop from reaching them.

Raine could stop time, but she needed to be in the right spot, so that she could influence it over such a massive area.

Not only that, she needed to save her energy for everything she planned next.

The final task of hers was to restore the invisible wall that separated the supernatural creatures and the human world.

This was not an easy task to accomplish, so did what Hope and Lilac had to achieve now, but they were certain they could go through it all.

This was almost the end of their mission...

Only three devils were left.

Meanwhile, because of the huge numbers of the humans that were fighting with all of their might against the supernatural creatures, it took a long time while overcoming many difficulties for the white beast to bring the guardian angel closer to the place that she mentioned.

Along the way, Calleb's brown beast never left their side even once and fought back really hard to make sure that nothing would harm Raine.

He would never forget the fact how those humans had killed his mate brutally and wouldn't let the same chance fall into their hands to do the same thing to Raine.

Fighting against the fact that the shifters couldn't kill the humans without bearing the consequences, they ended their lives rather brutally and quickly.

[Here...] Raine said through the mind- link when she thought that that was the perfect position to start. All she needed was to wait for Lilac and Hope to finish their tasks and be done with all of this.

The white beast and the brown beast stopped in the center of the commotion and Raine jumped down from the white beast's back to observe her surroundings.

Immediately after, Raine realized something just when she was brought to the spot that she wanted, which was; they couldn't stay there for a long time, because it went without saying that those armed vehicles or the silver bullets would eventually reach their targets; them.

However, the moment Raine felt she was ready to unleash her attack, an unexpected thing happened at the same time.

Just as Raine was about to stop the time to make all those humans around them stop attacking the shifters, Lilith appeared right before her.

The female devil smirked viciously at the guardian angel and stretched out her hand to grip Raine's neck.

Lilith appearance was so sudden that rendered the two beasts on Raine left and right sides unable to react right in time.

Yet, Raine didn't even budge when Lilith wrapped her cold fingers around her neck. Instead, she stared indecisively at her.

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

Jedrek and Lilac finally reached another door across the room. The two of them walked in silence, as they were deep in their own thoughts.

And just like before, Jedrek walked forward and reached for the handle of the door before Lilac could do, but this time he didn't hear any warnings from the guardian angel, which also meant; he didn't have a chance to start a conversation.

Behind the door, was an even bigger room than the last one, with a crystal chandelier hanging very high above their heads and an opened book on top of a translucent podium in the center, but aside from these, nothing was inside and this room could be said as an empty room.

"Is that the book?" Jedrek asked Lilac, finding an opportunity to engage her in a conversation.

"Yes," Lilac replied curtly, as she didn't even slow down to wait for Jedrek.

Once Lilac was in front of the translucent podium with the opened book on top of it, she had to tiptoe, because it was too high for her petite stature.

Meanwhile, Jedrek stayed closer to her, as his black eyes scanned the entire room, trying to detect any kind of threats that would catch them off guard if they relaxed even a bit.

"What should we do?" Jedrek asked when he noticed that Lilac had just kept staring at the book, without doing anything. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖

"Sacrifice," Lilac said in a toneless voice, her brows scrunched tightly, a reflection of her complicated thoughts.

"What?!" Jedrek growled.

"Step back," Lilac ordered Jedrek to stay away from her, but of course the king wouldn't listen to her.

"I will not go anywhere before you tell me what do you mean by sacrifice?" Jedrek felt like snarling at his stubborn mate for what she was trying to do.

"What should I explain to you about sacrifice?" Lilac squinted her eyes at her mate. She bit her lip to prevent herself from losing control.
