<h4>Chapter 654 - A TASK FOR MAXIMUS</h4>


    "So, do you think I can bring back their beast soul to those shifters?" Lc frowned in doubt "I don''t know, I just have never heard something like that before."


    "Really?" Violet who now looked at Jedrek, threw him a meaningful look.


    Lc raised her eyebrows the moment she understood who Violet was talking about. "It seems you have mistaken me for the other guardian angels, I don''t hold the same power like the other." Lc was aware that there were the other two guardian angels out there. Although their identity was still unknown, it would be someone else''s task given by Selene to find them.


    Lc really wanted to meet her own kind, the other guardian angels. But at the same time, she was bound to stay and fulfill her own mission. Her contribution in restoring the bnce is far frompleted, and it would not be easy unfortunately.


    "What do you mean? You are the same kind." Rowan interrupted, he folded his thick, muscr arms in front of his chest. Lc wanted to give him a quality lecture about guardian angels, and about herself, but then she just wasn''t in the mood to do so. "Yes, but we have different abilities. Each guardian angel is special. I won''t be able to do what the other guardian angels do, and vice versa."


    Violet slumped her shoulder frustratingly. Her long exnations were wasted. She pouted her lips childishly. "So, you are useless then," she said simply, shrugging her shoulder.


    Lc let out a dry chuckle as she stared at the advisor beside Jedrek. "Excuse me?" Lc said. The sweet fa?ade that Violet threw on her earlier was nowhere to be seen. She didn''t even spare Lc a nce now, as if she was not worthy of her time anymore.


    "Oh! Actually, thest time I heard, there was a guardian angel seen in the human realm." Violet turned her head to Jedrek, she spoke enthusiastically about this almost forgotten information. Now, Lc could see what game this red-haired woman was ying. She seemed obsessed to seek attention from Jedrek, waiting for the Alpha to praise her, but it never happened.


    Well, Lc could only pity her for that. As an advisor, she should have known better that she would never get any of his praise. She should never expect anything from him. It was her job to begin with. When Lc was still assessing Violet and what her true intention, then suddenly Jedrek rose on his feet and gave an order before he left the dining room.


    "Tell Maximus toe to my study room."


    Jedrek didn''t order it to a certain person in the room, but Rowan stood up and took the initiative to carry on this order. Then he followed his Alpha to walk out of the room, leaving the three people alone.


    ==============


    "That will be another reason for us to find your brother," said Maximus.


    The two of them were inside Jedrek''s study room. They were discussing the information that Violet just told Jedrek after breakfast. Maximus couldn''t join them during breakfast because Jedrek assigned him for another task. But as soon as he heard about this, Maximus was ted.


    Jedrek still wanted Maximus to go after Kace and his guardian angel mate, but at the same time Jedrek had been giving Maximus some other tasks that he couldn''t put aside lightly. It made him put the hunting game on postpone for too long.


    Maximus wasn''t happy about Kace''s escape ability. He always managed to avoid every single trap that Maximus had nted in order to capture him. But now, finally it seemed like Jedrek had more than enough reason to put Maximus back on field mission to capture Kace. Now Maximus was sure that Jedrek would focus him on this mission.


    "Bring the guardian angel, alive." Jedrek intertwined his fingers while leaning his back against his chair.


    "Alive?" Maximus raised his head, giving Jedrek a questioning look. "So, you want this guardian angel also...alive. Alive?!?" he was surprised by his order, and Jedrek could also see the mocking intention hidden behind Maximus''s tone.


    "She would be useless if she''s dead." Jedrek''s blue eyes turned ck when his beast was forced to surface and step in, confronting Maximus''s disrespectful act. He couldn''t let this one slip away. He couldn''t tolerate it like thest time.


    Maximus realized that he had just crossed the line, and he could now feel his own beast whimpering inside his head when Jedrek used his Alpha''s voice, subduing him in a matter of seconds. After a while, the general raised his head to meet the Alpha''s eyes once again. "And Kace? What should I do to him?" Maximus''s eyes lit up with confidence, thinking that he could catch the lycan this time.


    "He wille running once we have his mate," Jedrek said firmly.


    "Will do, Your Majesty." Maximus slightly lowered his head and showed his neck. He hated it, but couldn''t help it too. In terms of dominance, Maximus was far from Jedrek who was the firstborn of Donovan.


    Jedrek didn''t say a word when he dismissed the man before his eyes. If it wasn''t because of the value of his life, general or not, his head would have rolled on the ground long ago. Especially since Maximus clearly didn''t fully pledge his loyalty to him, the new Alpha, the lycan king. Jedrek knew every cheap trick that Maximus pulled.


    "How about the guardian angel who belongs to your other brother, Torak?" Maximus stopped on his way out. He almost forgot about this.


    Jedrek''s people were everywhere, and they had heard what was happening on Torak''s side. It was most likely that Torak had found his mate as well. It was easier to keep tabs on Torak since he had his own pack. Arge pack that was almost as big as this, with him as the supreme Alpha.


    Jedrek just sat there and didn''t answer his question. But, Maximus could see the re in the king''s gaze, letting him know that it wasn''t his ce to put his nose on. Lowering his angry gaze, Maximus proceeded to walk out of the room.


    ==============


    "I have a job for you," Maximus leaned his body against the door frame as he watched Violet brushing her damp red hair after her shower.


    "This must be something important that you didn''t even bother to knock on the door first." Violet could feel Maximus''s eyes that bore on her skin, but she didn''t mind it at all. Instead, she gave the general a seductive smile that invited him toe into her room, then mmed the door close behind him.


    "Of course this is important." He leaned over to smell the witch, cing a kiss on her nape.


    Violet giggled and turned around to face Maximus. "Kissing another woman when you have a mate?"


    "She won''tin."
