Raine frowned upon hearing that, but Torak caressed her hair and wrapped his arm around her waist. "You don\'t need to listen to him."
"He doesn\'t seem to like me," Raine mumbled as both of them walked toward the tent with Calleb and Jack followed behind them.
"He doesn\'t like most of the people," Torak chuckled and reassured her.
"What both of you talking about?" Raine asked, curious. They had been talking for two hours long. However, to think that both of them had been separated for centuries, it was normal if they had a lot of things to talk about.
"Man to man conversation," Torak tousled her hair and chuckled when he watched Raine pouted her lips. "What about you? What both of you were talking?"
"Girl to girl conversation." Raine used the same tone as Torak, but it didn\'t sound similar, yet it made the Alpha laughed heartily seeing his mate a little bit sullen like this.
"Did I say you are beautiful today?" Torak teased her and he could watch Raine blushed. "You are my precious one."

Lilac and Jedrek were having a fantastic day in the city. The sunny, clear skies and people who lined up to watch them and gave them respectful look. Noted the sarcasm.
There was no sunny clear sky, instead the sky was as dark as charcoal with thunder, which sounded like thousand beasts had been wrecking some havoc outside of the inn since an hour ago.
Lilac was sitting near fireplace in attempt to warm herself. Unfortunately, her body was not made of the same way the shifters did.
"Great! Even the weather doesn\'t like us to be together." Lilac said sarcastically. She was upset.
Lilac had asked to return to the castle even before the rain started pouring down the street, yet Jedrek didn\'t listen.
The king seemed to have a tight schedule for visiting three places in this city, so the reasons for introducing Lilac to his people were not quite accurate.
The moment Lilac realized Jedrek\'s intention, she had asked to return to the castle or wander alone in the city, but of course Jedrek rejected her idea adamantly.
However, after visiting the second place, the rain started pouring down heavily and here they were, sitting inside a tavern with Lilac couldn\'t move an inch from the fireplace without shivering.
Actually this place was cozy and quiet, and there was no a lot of people here, except for the three people who were sitting at their table obediently, not daring to make a sudden sound or movement, when they saw their King was there.
Meanwhile, Lilac and Jedrek sat at a nice table in the corner near a fireplace.
"Drink this," Jedrek gave Lilac a mug of warm cider, which the spices tingled in Lilac\'s throat and made her caught.
"What is that?" Lilac frowned pushed away the mug from her as if Jedrek was trying to poison her.
"This will keep you warm." Jedrek frowned, but he put away the mug and gestured to Theo to bring another drink for her.
"No, thanks. I am fine with the fire over here," Lilac said in bad mood, she lifted her legs and hugged them while resting her chin on top of her knees. She didn\'t dress for this kind of bad weather, thus she couldn\'t help but feeling cold.
"You think I will know when it is going to rain?" Jedrek glanced at Lilac and took off his coat and threw it to her. "Wear it," he said curtly.
The coat dropped on her knees, but Lilac kicked it away until it fell to the ground. The guardian angel didn\'t appreciate that rude gesture. "No need."
Jedrek glared at Lilac brazenness, yet the girl was more than ready for the staring contest. In the end, the King shook his head and picked up the coat from the ground, he patted it from the dirt and this time, he dr.a.p.ed the coat around Lilac carefully.
"I don\'t want…" Lilac was about to throw the coat away again when Jedrek caught her hand.
"Don\'t you dare," he said in warning tone.
???Why? You will punish me?" Lilac glared at him, she didn\'t want to feel intimidated by him.
"Try and you will see." Jedrek grinded his teeth. It had been a long time since someone rebelled against him countless time and still managed to have their head.
And like what Jedrek had expected, Lilac raised her hand to throw the cloak from her shoulder when Jedrek moved faster and wrapped the cloak even tighter around her.
The cloak was very big, so it was enough to wrap Lilac\'s body entirely, yet when Lilac struggled to free herself from him, Jedrek lost his patient and picked Lilac up, placed the girl on his laps and hugged her.
"You bastard! Put me down!" Lilac shouted and this drew attention from the people inside the tavern, including the two generals, who were sitting not too far from them.
"Keep calling me that and I will kiss you in front of these people." Jedrek warned her. "And you will see how bastard I am."

Late at night, in one of the hallway of the castle, a man, who covered in dark cloak until no one could see his face, was standing beside an open window, while listening to a whisper. At first it was only a muffling sound and was hard to understand, yet the man managed to have a conversation with it.
The voices sounded like human, but their tones were hard to comprehend. The sound was akin to fingernails scrapped a chalkboard.
The whisper came from a shadow like a smoke.
"She is his mate…" The man said in low voice to the shadow and then came another whisper. "I am sure of it. He had said it himself and what happened today confirmed it." The man glanced at the empty hall. He was in alert, just in case there was someone else there. "The ceremony for the Luna will come after he has dealt with Maximus."
