Chapter 848 - I WILL COME WITH YOU
"Well, I don\'t know about that," he said, shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly. "Whether he will kill you later or not, but at least you can take a glimpse of my little sister."
Betting his life just for a glimpse of a girl, it sounded too much. However, it was not the case for Calleb.
"I will help you bring that plate then," Calleb said. He was full of high spirits after the invitation again and immediately approached him to get the plate from his hand. "Thank you for the invitation, Ian!"
"I am Ethan, not Ian," Ethan said and held Bree\'s hand, so the little girl wouldn\'t wander around. "Try to find the difference between us."
"Alright, alright," Calleb said lightly.
==============
"I am back," Ethan said when he entered the small dining room, where his whole family was was sitting together.
"Bree is back," Bree echoed behind Ethan and ran into the room, jumping here and there making others worried at the thought that she might trip herself.
But, the cheerful atmosphere became heavy, when they caught another familiar scent in the air along with Ethan\'s and Bree\'s.
"Why did you bring that brat with you?!" Sterling growled.
On the other hand, Rosie suddenly became self conscious, she combed her long hair with her fingers and this made Ian upset. He tousled her hair and messed it up.
"Ian!" Rossie swatted his hand away from her hair.
"He said he had not eaten anything since this afternoon because of what you said to him, and he really missed Rosie," Ethan said.
In actual fact, Calleb had never said that.
"And because Bree said Rosie will come to pick our food from the kitchen, he had been waiting for her there for hours," Ethan took the plate from Calleb and put it down at the center of the table. "I have told him that you will probably kill him if he shows up, but he came along anyway."
At least, Ethan put some good words for the Gamma.
Though Sterling kept grumbling and glaring at him for a few good minutes, but in the end he relented. "Sit there and leave after you finished eating."
Calleb didn\'t need to be told twice as he immediately walked over, intending to sit down next to Rosie, but Sterling spoke again.
"No, sit next to me."
==============
Three days passed uneventfully and today was the day of the execution of Chiron and Carina. Everybody knew about this except Lilac.
Because she was still recuperating and she spent most of the time sleeping, she was not really aware of the dreadful things that would happen in a few hours time.
Jedrek kissed her forehead and started walking outside leaving her with Eaton inside the room, yet Lilac opened her eyes and spoke in soft voice.
"I want to go and see," she said.
Jedrek frowned when he heard that. "You need to rest," he tried to reason with her.
Actually, Lilac\'s complexion had greatly improved during the last three days and her cheeks had showed a tinge of red, but Jedrek was still worried about her, moreover, he was not sure if it was fine to bring Lilac to watch the execution.
They had talked about this, yet Jedrek would always avoid giving more details about the execution. He deduced that Lilac wouldn\'t agree with his decision and having an argumentation with her was the last thing he wanted at this moment.
"I have been resting enough," Lilac said stubbornly. She used Jedrek arm to support her body, so she could sit down and face her mate. "I am fine and I want to see it."
On the other hand, every time Jedrek refused to tell her about what he would do to Chiron and Carina, Lilac felt something was not right, yet she didn\'t want to push him.
However, when Jedrek still didn\'t want to open up about it last night, she decided to go and see it herself.
It wasn\'t that she would go against Jedrek\'s decision, she just didn\'t want him to decide something out of impulse.
"You don\'t have to," Jedrek was still trying to reject the idea. "It will not take a long time, I will be back as soon as it was done and we will have lunch together."
Yet, Lilac shook her head and looked at Jedrek right in the eyes.
"This will be my first appearance as your mate after the mating bond. If you have decided to punish those for the citizens to see, I want to be there. I want to face your people," Lilac then corrected. "Our people," she emphasized her words. "If you want to go hard on your punishment, then go ahead, but I will not gain anything by hiding behind your back. The whole population would be attending and I want to be there with you when you deliver the punishment on the people, who tried to harm me," she said with determination in her eyes.
Lilac got the point, this punishment was made for the public to see and this was related to her. Her appearance could also deliver the message that she was fine and the royal couple was still strong even after what had happened.
It could also be seen that they could rule together just fine.
"Is there anything that I can do to make you change your mind?" Jedrek asked in a helpless tone, yet he already knew the answer.
"No," Lilac smiled sweetly and kissed his cheeks. "Help me change, will you?" she asked in a teasing tone.
"Wait for me outside," Jedrek said to Eaton in a stern voice.
"Okay, okay…" Eaton rolled his eyes at him and glanced at Lilac who was smiling.
He was glad that Jedrek found his mate. After what he had been through, at least he deserved this kind of happiness, and Eaton was sure that Lilac would keep the hot-headed king on the most reasonable track.
The guardian angel could calm the beast\'s violent nature and embrace his wounded soul after all the never ending betrayals and heartache that he had to endure.
