<h4>Chapter 677 - MEETING JEDREK</h4>


    Lc bit her lips and nodded. It wasn''t the time to back down now.


    However, before Eaton could open the door, there was an earth- shattering sound that could be heard from the other side. His eyes widened when he watched the doorknob rattled in his hold.


    "What happened?!" Lc shouted above the frenzy sound. She couldn''t see it, but she knew there was something wrong with the way Eaton''s body became tense.


    And then they heard what sounded like wh.i.p.s cutting through the air. The sharp and distinct cracks reverberated throughout the dark tunnel.


    The sound became louder and more intense.


    "MOVE!" Eaton shouted to Airin, but of course she wouldn''t be able to hear anything, thus he had to push her away. Too hard until the poor girl flew a few meter to her right side and her body bumped onto the stone wall.


    Everything happened so fast, after shoving Airin to the other side, Eaton hugged Lc and turned them both, so the sudden st from the door hit Eaton''s back.


    The explosion indeed hit Eaton''s back, but the st hurled them to the other side of the stone wall.


    If it was not because of Lc made a quick decision, to cover both of them with her power, her body would have been crushed because of the strong force of the explosion.


    "What is that?" Lc watched in horror when she witnessed, the door had burst into mes, the fire was very hot until she could feel the heat licked her skin.


    The ze illuminated the dark tunnel until Lc could see every dirt and dust around her, as if everything was caught on fire.


    It took a long time before the fire subsided and the moment it had gone out, the tunnel once again plunged into darkness.


    "Eaton?" Lc snapped to reality as she shifted her attention to Eaton, who was still hugging her. "Are you okay?"


    Eaton groaned and tried to move, but the pain made it harder for him. Once he crawled away from Lc, he fell on his stomach.


    The light from the room, which the door had burned into ashes, allowed Lc to see the horrible scald and blister behind his back because of the explosion before.


    "Eaton! Your back!" Lc gasped in shock.


    Eaton''s face contorted in pain and he groaned again when he answered her. "Worry not. I just need a few moments to recover."


    He was right, the burn had slowly healed, but it took some time before the lycan could fully recover. However, Lc didn''t have a patient to wait. Even now, she still could hear the uproar from inside the room


    "I will check on Airin," Lc said, she was worry about the girl too. She didn''t know whether Airin got caught in the mes or she managed to escape.


    "Wait for me, don''t enter the room without me," Eaton grumbled, hating the fact that his injuries took quite a long time to heal.


    Lc didn''t say anything as she dashed toward the other end of the tunnel. She couldn''t promise to wait for him. Her patient was running out and she wanted to know where that me came from after made sure Airin was all right.


    "Airin?" She called for her, but there was no answer. "Airin?"


    Lc walked further to the seemingly the ruins of the stone wall. With her bare hands, she started to pick up the stone as it looked like Airin was buried beneath it.


    Her guess was right, after moving three stones, she could see the girl, unconscious, but alive.


    Lc summoned the roots under her feet to get Airin out from there quickly andid her on the vacant space near the ruin.


    Airin was fine, it was only a matter of time before she gained her consciousness.


    Once again, Lc heard the uproar from inside the room and this time she heard a familiar snarls and growls too.


    In spite of the fact, Lc had only fought with him once, but she was sure the animal sound belonged to the Alpha King.


    Jedrek was fighting something inside that room, but what?! From the sound of it, it must be a creature much monstrous than himself. Something that could breathe fire.


    Impossible…


    Lc scrambled to her feet, ignoring the warning that Eaton gave to her, she ran toward the secret chamber and halted for a moment to assess the situation before she poked her head with caution. If the fire could turn the door into dust, she didn''t want her head to be the next target.


    And inside, she watched a yellow smander with slender body and blunt snouts, as big as the white lycan, was pinned to the ground.


    It slender body covered with ck liquids that Lc assumed was its blood and its blunt snouts were torn, leaving it impossible to breathe another fire.


    Lc was in time to witness how vicious the white lycan when he wed the Smander''s stomach with his sharp talons, dug them deep until the ugly creature breathed hisst.


    Lc was floored to see such bloody scene, she didn''t even realize that her body trembled. The ck liquid spurted from the smander''s stomach and coated the white fur of the lycan with it, now thest monster looked more feral than ever with his white fur turned ck.


    Lc couldn''t take her eyes from him, until the white lycan itself, who found her. With his red- bloody eyes, he red at the girl.


    The white lycan snarled to get her attention, but when his mate was still standing there, seemingly couldn''t take her attention out of the dead smander, the lycan approached her with a deep growl, which reverberated through the stone wall.


    Jedrek shifted back to his human skin once he was close enough to her.


    "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" He roared in anger and this efficiently got Lc''s attention.


    Lc didn''t appreciate Jedrek''s tone as she snapped back at him. "TO GET YOU OUT FROM HERE, OF COURSE!"
