<h4>Chapter 784 - THE NIGHT BEFORE THE MATING CEREMONY</h4>


    "What are you doing out there?" Jedrek quickened his steps when he found Lc was standing outside of her room, leaning her back against the door.


    The guardian angel raised her head and stared at him through her longshes. "I can''t sleep," she said in low voice. "I was about to take a walk and approached you since you were standing alone there, but then I saw Serefina was staring at you from the distance."


    Jedrek nced at his left side and from here, he was able to see the spot where he was standing a few minute ago. The witch was no longer there now.


    It was too far for him to catch Lc''s scent and too far for Lc to hear his conversation with Serefina.


    "I talked to her," Jedrek admitted.


    "Hm," Lc mumbled. Actually, she just watched the way Serefina was staring at Jedrek and then hiding here because she didn''t want to see what would happen next.


    But, thanked to Jedrek, now she knew that they had a conversation.


    "Nothing happened," Jedrek tried to rify the doubt in Lc''s eyes. "It is over between us."


    "Yes, you said it before," Lc murmured and then turned around to enter her room. "I think I will take a rest."


    "You don''t believe me," Jedrek said. He grabbed Lc''s wrist and turned her body to face him.


    "I don''t know what I have to believe now," Lc replied truthfully. She didn''t even know what to expect or what she wanted from this kind of rtionship. This feeling was tooplicated for her.


    Slowly, Jedrek freed her hand and let Lc entered her room.


    "Good night Jedrek," Lc said in soft voice.


    Jedrek didn''t answer her, but he stood there for a bit longer even after Lc had closed the door and went to bed.


    ==============


    "So, tomorrow is the ceremony?" Hope caressed the purple lc, which Lc chose for the decoration and now these flowers covered almost the entire castle. "I can''t imagine how lively tomorrow''s event will be."


    Jedrek didn''t invite many important people, but those who lucky enough to be invited just arrived this early morning.


    The news about it had spread around the realm and many shifters and creatures had packed the city to celebrate it with their king. Apparently, it was a custom in this realm for the royal family to open the castle for themoner in asion like this.


    It was a good opportunity to see their new queen, since most of them wanted to see Jedrek''s destined mate, which was the guardian angel.


    Even now there were a lot of people, who was still talking about how odd it was for their king to have ''the weak'' guardian angel as his destined mate.


    However, for some people, who had seen Lc when she appeased themotion about the missing people, they knew that the guardian angel was not like what most of the people pictured about them.


    Lc was young, but she had a calm aura that let people at ease to rely on her. The way she carried herself was fascinating.


    Unfortunately, there were still many people, who didn''t care enough to take a closer look on her and let their judgment clouded by the story about the guardian angel.


    "Why don''t we go out and celebrate it?" Hope stood in front of Lc and Raine.


    The three of them were inside Hope''s room, talking about everything while their mates went to deal with a few things.


    Calleb was in charged for the three of them and he looked bored staying inside this room.


    "What do you want to celebrate? Tomorrow will be a huge celebration," Lc said. "There is no need for early celebration."


    "No," Hope shook her head and sat down beside Lc. "What I meant is a bachelor party."


    "What?" Calleb frowned. "Bachelor party is for someone who will get married. Tomorrow is a mating ceremony."


    "It is the same," Hope replied stubbornly. "Why don''t we go outside? It is very boring here," she suggested, but Raine rejected the idea immediately.


    "But, we are not allowed to leave the castle," she looked worried. Especially when Lc looked interested with Hope''s idea.


    "It had been a long time since I go out of the castle," Lc rose to her feet, seemingly excited with the possibility to go out of this ce.


    "Come on Raine, we have not yet seen the city since we arrived here." Hope tried to persuade Raine, but she looked at Calleb for his opinion.


    "I don''t mind to go out of this castle." Calleb shrugged his shoulder. "There will be many people out there, as long as you promised me to not roam around without me and didn''t cause trouble, I don''t mind to take a walk for a while."


    Raine hit his shoulder with her small fist. "You are just bored of being here, right?" she knew him. Calleb would choose to be with Torak and Raphael to deal with their people or talked about something that concern war, rather than to baby sit the three guardian angels.


    However, Torak had said for Raine to stay with Calleb. Even though, he didn''t specifically tell her to not go out of the castle, but it was not something that he needed to exin, since it was very obvious.


    "I am not," Calleb said, trying to put a straight face, but failed miserably. The Gamma just hated to stay still.


    "Come on Raine," Hope looked like she was about to jump excitedly. "We need to rx."


    "Right, let''s go!" Lc had their cloaks in her arms and gave it to them, she even gave Calleb''s cloak too. "I know a few ces with delicious foods."


    "Foods?" Calleb''s eyes sparkled with the mention of food. Being outside to buy some food sounded more captivating than being here and listened the three girls chatted.


    "Torak won''t like this," Raine grimaced at Calleb.


    But, he simply shrugged his shoulder. "Just kiss him and his anger will melt away."
