<h4>Chapter 991 - MOURNING</h4>


    Lc stretched her hand toward Torak with her palm facing upward, her dark eyes were fixed upon the lycan''s, as if giving him her consent to do what she had told him to do earlier.


    "Jedrek will not like what I''m doing now," Torak said, mumbling. Despite saying that, he raised his hand above Lc''s palm, and his nails elongated before turning into sharp ws.


    "He doesn''t need to know," Lc replied. "This is not the first time I had done something like this."


    Torak raised his brows as if asking for onest reassurance and when he saw Lc nodding in encouragement, with one swift motion he grazed Lc''s palm.


    The people around them frowned watching this. Some of them were Jedrek''s people, thus it bothered them to see their queen getting hurt, but they understood that this was something necessary.


    On the other hand, Sebastian stood beside Lc and watched as the guardian angel''s blood dripped on to the ground.


    Seeing that, Sybil, as the head of the spell- casters that would teleport those lycans to the other part of this world, didn''t waste any time and grabbed Lc''s hand immediately.


    As a result, Lc''s blood coated her hand too. Sybil walked with her hand in hand to form a big circle with her blood that was dripping on to the ground, while the witch chanted some spell.


    When they reached the same spot afterpleting one full circle, Sybil let go of Lc''s hand, and Sebastian immediately came over to wrap his queen''s hand with a white cloth, and secured it so she wouldn''t lose more blood than necessary.


    Meanwhile, the other seven spell- casters joined Sybil in the middle of the blood circle and stood in a small circle, then began to chant spells from the same ancientnguage like the former.


    As their voices grew louder, the blood that fell on the ground gleamed as red hues rose around them, showing how big the circle that was made by blood of the guardian angel. It also disyed how much blood was lost by Lc.


    "Step in," Sybil said in a low voice, but it was enough to be heard by all the lycanthropes present.


    Before stepping into the circle, Calleb turned around to look at Torak and voiced out his gratitude. "Thank you Alpha."


    "Thank me when you bring your mate and Raphael''s son back before killing those blood suckers." Torak patted Calleb''s shoulder. "Don''t die."


    Torak knew that Calleb couldn''t shift into his beast, but he also knew there was nothing he could do to prevent him from going to his mate. Because that was what he would do if he were in Calleb''s shoes.


    "Don''t worry, I will try not to die. I still want to see your and Raine''s pup," he said lightly, grinning. For a few seconds, he returned to his usual self and that it was a veryforting sight to behold. "Bring Raine and Hope back too." He looked around, but didn''t see Kace any near, so he assumed that he had gone somewhere to calm himself down.


    "Definitely," Torak said firmly.


    After that, Calleb walked into the red circle that had be brighter, while Torak and Lc, along with the rest of the lycans that would stay there, stepped back.


    They watched as the mass of people behind the red bright hues started to fade one by one until then they werepletely gone.


    "I will bring the rest of the people to the battlefield." Torak stopped in mid speech and looked at Lc. "You can stay with Belinda and ask her to teleport both of you to a safe ce. Far away from here. I don''t think Jedrek wants to see you in the middle of this chaos."


    However, Lc shook her head. "I am not running away, neither do I want to hide. The ce where I belong is beside my mate."


    Moreover, she was the queen, she wouldn''t let her people get hurt, for she knew she was capable of helping them.


    Lc was not helpless, she could hold her ground and fight alongside with them.


    Torak saw the unperturbed determination in the guardian angel''s eyes, and how he wished that Raine was here, with him.


    "As expected." Torak nodded. "Prepare yourself and we will leave in ten minutes."


    Lc smiled brightly and nodded in understanding, but before she turned around to leave, Torak called her again.


    "If you don''t mind, find Kace and tell him that we have to leave soon."


    ==============


    It was easy to find Kace as she knew that the youngest Donovan would be here, inside the room, where Purple was getting treated.


    Kace only nced at her once when she walked into the room and sat down beside him.


    On the bed, they could see that the fae''s once wless back had turned ck and was bleeding profusely, while Belinda had lost all hope to treat her, even Sapphire, the healer, shook her head in defeat when Lc looked at her questioningly.


    Belinda was crying silently, until her eyes turned red and her shouldes trembled. After all, aside from her sharp tongue and cheerful nature, she was a soft heartened person.


    In spite of the fact that the time that she had spent with Purple was not too long, but it could be said the two of them got along pretty well.


    Therefore, when they watched how Purple''s breathing be even shallower and she closed her eyes with lips that had turned blue, Belinda couldn''t hold it anymore, she was sobbing harder.


    Seeing that, Sapphire hugged her and the two of them cried together.


    Purple had taken the brunt when the dragon beasts attacked them and the devils rendered her unable to move. They burned her wings and hurt her so bad until she couldn''t bear the pain any longer.


    Adding to the fact that she used herst bit of energy to dissolve the vow with the earth dragon shifters. It really took a toll on her.


    Lc only managed to see the fae alive for just two minutes before she let out herst breath and stayed still on the bed with blood still gushing out from her wounds.


    There were not many people to mourn her death, as it was only the four of them who witnessed this…
