Chapter 673 - MAKE IT RIGHT
Suddenly, Jedrek shot to his feet. However, this was not because of the strangeness that he felt through the mate bond, because more or less, he knew what was happening even before he could confirm it.
Something must have happened to Killian, the mind reader, that it woke Lilac up. It was most likely because Jedrek was not able to feel anything since Lilac was trapped in the illusion, yet now, he felt it again.
Once again, after a few weeks since the last time Jedrek came into the secret tunnel, he was here again. Walked through the dark secret passage, the one that he had walked down countless times, yet the resentment he felt every time he was here, had not decreased one bit even though much time had passed.
The tunnel was eerie silent, there was only Jedrek\'s footsteps that echoed through the wall, which covered with graffiti.
The Alpha King took his time to walk down this path, as it could be the last time he would be here.
He knew he should have done this long time ago, yet at the same time he understood the excuses that he always made for not doing so.
"Finally you are here." Janus dark voice was the one who greeted Jedrek once he stepped inside the oval chamber.
"Glad to be here." Jedrek glanced at his father, but this time he didn\'t brush him away and listened to whatever nonsense he wanted to spit.
"Where is the sacrifice for me?" He asked through gritted teeth, his body had faded away and now he was no longer could touch Jedrek, as though his flesh had turned into a white smoke.
"As you can see, I don\'t bring any with me." Jedrek leaned his back against the wall behind him, showing his patient, as though he would give all the time that Janus had demanded since weeks ago.
Janus glared at his son, but tried to hold back his anger. "You know what the consequences if I disappeared or your mother stop living."
Jedrek shook his head, he looked tired. At this moment, he didn\'t look like the great King, who always wore his cold fa?ade, he let out his emotion appeared on his face. "She had died long time ago. All the stupid things that you had done only prolong her life."
"IF YOU GIVE ME THE GUARDIAN ANGEL, SHE WILL LIVE!" Janus roared in frustration, he threw Jedrek a punch, but just like before, it only past through his face and this fact only aggravated the former Alpha further.
"But, you will kill mine." Jedrek watched Janus attentively.
A loud laugh rang through the chamber when Janus heard Jedrek\'s answer. "You don\'t care about her Jedrek," Janus hissed. He was standing only a meter away from him. "Do you forget? You are the one who killed her when she was only a few days old."
"You are right. I still haven\'t forgotten that." Jedrek nodded. Agreed. "But, I prefer she died in my hand than yours."
"YOU!" Janus almost turned feral now. Only if he could summon his beast again, he would have shifted and clawed his firstborn\'s face.
"I miss the father you were," Jedrek spoke softly, barely a whisper, yet it laced with sorrow when he recalled the memories of the past inside his head.
"I am still your father!" Janus pronounced every words clearly.
"No, you are not." Jedrek gave him a sorry look. "You are no longer my father, the moment you made your first deal with the devil and more so several deals after that."
"I did that to save Diana!" Janus balled his fists beside his body. He knew better to not try to punch Jedrek again, as it would be a futile attempt. "What you did for her!?"
Jedrek\'s eyes turned dark when he replied. "I wipe out the guardian angel\'s race to keep your end of the deal. Brought them to the battlefield just to draw their blood when you had sapped their power."
Those poor guardian angels were barely alive at that time and Jedrek remembered the way those weak creatures stared at him with hatred, the things that he thought was not possible for them to do.
??The moon goddess told you to bring all the guardian angels, not me!" Janus retorted.
"Indeed." Jedrek agreed once again. "But I am sure the goddess wouldn\'t have agreed to help you to keep your end of deal with the devil, as she never said anything about sapping their energy."
If Kace and Torak could accept their mate with opened arms and excitement, Jedrek couldn\'t do that. This so called blessing from the moon goddess, because she had lifted their curse, was actually another punishment.
It almost felt like the moon goddess mocked him when she bestowed the guardian angel as their mate. The very same kind that Jedrek had eradicated from this realm.
Even more so when Jedrek found out and became part of helping Janus to fulfill his deal with the devils. One of the many things that not even Torak or Kace were aware of.
"Don\'t blame it on me," Janus sneered. "You challenged me for the Alpha title and killed me, but in the end, you helped me. That was your decision to bring all the guardian angels to me."
Jedrek sighed deeply when he heard that. Feelings of guilt, for having killed his father with his own hands after he had challenged him to the Alpha title, ate away at his conscience.
Jedrek thought, he could make amend by saving Diana and the only way that left, was the way that Janus had paved. Jedrek walked down the same path and that was his first mistake, which led him to another.
"I challenged you because you threatened to kill Kace, if I didn\'t give you what you want." Jedrek pushed himself from the wall and straightened his back, determination in his dark eyes. "That was my mistake and I will make it right, now."
