Chapter 642 - DARK DESIRE

Maximus struggled on his feet while trying to stay away from the angry lycan. For a split second, there was a hint of derision in his dark eyes. He concealed it well, and didn\'t show it in his expression. With his calm voice he said, "My sincerest apologies, Your Majesty."

"You better stay away from this matter Maximus!" Jedrek said through his clenched teeth. He had been losing complete control over his own temper ever since he met Lilac. He didn\'t need someone to drive him closer to her even more!

"Jedrek," Maximus rose on his feet. He was just trying to reason with the king. "It will get even harder to control \'his\' temper, if you kill the girl now. Don\'t you remember how he bursted in rage uncontrollably the last time you ordered me to kill her?"

Jedrek\'s canines elongated dangerously, his anger was starting to surface. In a cold and heartless tone he said, "Don\'t you remember what I did to him after?" Hearing what Jedrek just said, Maximus shut his lips. It brought him back to the past. The memory was clear in his mind, how ruthless this man could be towards his own flesh and blood.

Seeing Maximus was living up to the horrendous memories in his mind, Jedrek gave him another warning, "Remember that, and you will remember your place."

After that, the Lycan King walked out of the room, leaving the general alone. Maximus\'s entire body was shaking uncontrollably. It was clear to see that he was burning in his anger. It was so intense that he couldn\'t contain it any longer. Failing in control over his anger, Maximus unleashed the monster inside him.

He leapt forward and shifted into a majestic looking golden wolf. And then, he rushed out of the room through the opened window.

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

With a few urgent matters at hand to handle, it was indeed a long day for Jedrek. Meanwhile, another important matter from Rowan had to be included into his list. He reported that he found other strange cases where Lycans and werewolves had been stripped off from their inner beasts. Still the same with the last one, they were found asleep, alive, but smelled like they were dead.

In just a few days, this issue became more and more concerning. It could bring a definite threat to the kingdom in the future. If this continued, then there would be a wave of rampant panic among the people. Because, they already knew that there were a good number of cases where people were missing. And they thought that the missing people had not been found.

And for that reason, the people should never find out that the King had issued an order to kill those soulless people, who had been reported missing for days. If they did, there would be more than a wave of rampant panic.

The day ended when the sun set on the horizon. The night sky embraced the glory of the moon once more. Only then, everything seemed to slow down, letting the Alpha King have a break from his exhausting long day. He strolled aimlessly in his castle for hours to clear up his mind. However, when he let his instinct take over, his feet were brought to a different place, out of his usual route.

Unconsciously he was brought to the north wing of his castle. This was something unusual for Jedrek to roam around that particular area. He couldn\'t even remember when the last time he was there. This part of the castle was the place where his chamber was, decades ago, when she was still here. The time when everything was not as complicated as now.

It was said that the curse that was given to him was actually a gift. But now, what was said to be a gift, turned out to be the real punishment for Jedrek. He stared at his surroundings. He was not sure why he was there, but with every step that he took, he could finally smell the scent of that girl. That fiery-beautiful little girl.

The sparks that he felt the moment their skin touched was an otherworldly feeling. Never had he felt this kind of feeling in all his long life. He craved for more and here he was, following his instinct to reach to her. Her sweet fragrance surrounded his whole being when he climbed the stairs. He didn\'t need to be told which chamber Lilac was. Her scent alone was the only thing he needed to locate her.

The pull was so strong that the ruthless Lycan King felt dizzy. He was fighting the beast inside him. A battle of choosing between what the beast desired, and what his sane mind should do. Every ounce of his very soul cried out for his mate to fill the void in her absence. It was wrong to stand there, staring at the closed door.

He assumed he must\'ve been completely out of his mind when he decided to reach for the handle, and opened that door. And when her scent got stronger, everything felt more exhilarating and unrestrained. There was no way to turn back now. Neither did Jedrek want to leave that place. He felt this was where he belonged, or at least it was what the beast thought.

Jedrek knew that he shouldn\'t give in to this dangerous urge. But after an exhausting day, and a long period of restrain, his will faded. Jedrek found himself compelled to walk towards the bed, even when he told himself to turn back. He didn\'t even notice the change in his surroundings where tree branches grew on the surface of the wall, or the velvety grass that covered the tiles beneath his feet.

The roots that Lilac had put around to protect her, and block any intruder, somehow gave away to him. They cleared his path, making his way to the beauty on the bed. It was as though those strange nature welcomed him.

The room was dark, but that didn\'t limit his eyes from seeing the shape of Lilac\'s figure.

***

Lilac was bored and exhausted after putting all those protection around her. It took her days to make it perfect. Now her room was akin to a jungle. But she didn\'t care not even a little. All as long as she could get a good night\'s sleep at peace.

She pulled on a loose nightshirt when she got ready for bed. It felt so good to be surrounded by nature like this. And now, she didn\'t have to worry about intruders. Whoever it was, they would not be able to enter her room as they pleased, or at least she would know if there was someone trying to break in forcedly.

She turned the light off and crawled into bed, snuggling under the covers. However, when her consciousness was about to fade, she felt something. Someone. There was someone inside the room with her. Lilac knitted her brows when she felt this person\'s movement in the dark.

She wondered inside her head, trying to figure out how this person could enter this room without making any sound. After all the efforts she pulled to guarantee for her safety inside the room? Lilac didn\'t have time to find out the answer when her hand slid down under her pillow, grabbing her silver dagger.
