<h4>Chapter 768 - THE LILAC</h4>


    "I envy the rtionship between you and Torak or Hope with Kace," Lc sighed and fiddled with her fingers. "Jedrek and I…" she pouted her lips and didn''t continue.


    "There is nothing to be envied about… the three of them have their own difficulties, they are beasts after all." Hope shrugged her shoulder. "But, I love his beast and definitely you do yours too. It is just that there are a lot of things that havee our way and we are not ready to face them all, making thingsplicated."


    Silence fell, as they were deep in their thought and reminisced about all the things that they had been through toe to this point.


    Raine had been through a lot of dreadful things before she met Torak. He showed her unconditional love and cherished her in every decision that she made. Not even once Torak would raise his voice even thought he was mad at her or Raine disappointed him.


    Raine wouldn''t be here and be the person she was now without going through all of that.


    While Hope, she was quite lucky to have people, who loved and cared for her ever since she was only little. Serefina with her fickle mood and Lana, who was like a sister for her.


    Hope ever felt a little bit worried about Lana and her rtionship when she was aware about Lana''s crush on Kace, but she could sigh in relieve when Lana found Raphael. Their rtionship seemed very happy. They were like a newly married couple.


    Sometime, Hope wondered whether Lana''s crush on Kace was only her imagination? A mate bond was so strong…


    On the other hand, Lc didn''t know since when she cared for Jedrek… she came here with hatred for what that king had done to her, but over time when she learned about the dark secret that he hid from everyone else, including his own brothers, Lc learned that he was not the person that she thought she knew.


    Despite it didn''t change the fact that Jedrek had killed her and put her into a deep sleep for a year, Lc couldn''t find herself to hate him the way she wanted.


    Apparently, this was the trait, which made the guardian angel looked so weak in the other creatures'' eyes; theycked of animosity was something that counted as weakness.


    However, the true question was; whether their rtionship would be okay without a mate bond?


    The mate bond seemed like a blessing to tighten the affection between them, but it was something that was out of their control.


    Even Raine, asionally, would question this too and Hope would always wonder if the mate- bond disappeared, would Kace treated her the same?


    But, for Lc it was indisputable that Jedrek would choose Serefina over her the moment the mate bond was gone…


    It was ironic…


    "Tell me," Lc broke the silence between them and the solemn mood in the air. "How did your mate marked you?"


    Lc wanted to hear something cheerful, since she would face her mating ceremony within a week, she wanted to know what she would expect.


    "Ugh… the mark…" Hope grimaced and looked Raine, who seemed pretending to not hear Lc''s question.


    "I heard it was something romantic," Lc looked at Hope and Raine expectantly. "Share your story with me…"


    And now Hope and Raine gave their fellow guardian angel a wry smile…


    "They almost died when their mate marked them." Serefina''s figure came into their view when no one noticed when she entered the room.


    The witch sat on a chair at the end of the table nonchntly and looked at the various flowers on the table in despise.


    "There was nothing romantic about being marked for them." Serefina crossed her legs and looked at Lc defiantly.


    Lc red at Serefina when she spoke to Hope. "I don''t know how you can live with someone like her for many years. I am just d that you are nothing like her."


    "Oh, don''t worry honey, she doesn''t have that blessing." Serefina waved her hand.


    Lc clicked her tongue in annoyance. "Is it her hobby to ruin other people''s happy moments?"


    "Yes, it is," Raine said with smile on her lips, she didn''t know, but she found this whole situation was amusing.


    Serefina had been very irritated with the rtionship that she shared with Torak and would always pick some pricky words toin about how Torak had spoiled her too much, but when Raine learned the reason behind the witch''s hateful behavior, she was more or less, could understand that.


    After all, who would be able to stand and see the man that you loved, be with someone and nothing you could do to stop it.


    And now, since Serefina finally met with Lc, she wouldn''t miss any opportunities to piss her off.


    "Well, you can call me lucky to survive all those years," Hope chuckled and then grinned at Serefina.


    "I don''t lie, you can ask the two of them. I was there, when their mate marked them and that was awful." Serefina raised her eyebrows provocatively.


    "I don''t know whether you are so talented or you just naturally suck the happiness out of every soul in the room you entered," Lc grumbled. "What do you want?"


    "There is something I want to talk to the three of you," Serefina said calmly, ignoring the snarkyment that Lc gave to her.


    "What is it about?" Hope asked, she straightened her back.


    "About your training." Serefina nced at the flower again. "I expect we will start after this stupid ceremony."


    Lc couldn''t agree more with Serefina for herstment. She still disagreed with Jedrek''s decision.


    "Before I go to the detail, I want you to do me a favor," Serefina spoke to Lc and she looked surprised.


    "What is it?" Lc asked suspiciously.


    "Choose the lc for your decoration," she nodded to the flower.


    Hope frowned. "But you hate that flower."


    "Exactly." It would give her an excuse to not attend to the ceremony.
