Chapter 175

Black magic was a sensitive topic in this continent, so when Lilac talked about black magic, Hunter was a little bit taken aback.

“He must only try to mess up with you, love,” Hunter said, he stretched out his hand and caressed her cheek. She looked fragile and beautiful, especially when she was in the middle of confusion like this.

Hunter really wanted to seal her from the world. He only wanted to see her smile, being happy and that was all he wanted from her.

And their baby…

The thought of the little one inside her womb made his heart warmed.

“But, if you really wanted to see him and to make sure of that, I will come with you.” Hunter wouldn’t leave her to talk alone with Kellan this time. He would be there with her when she was having this conversation.

“Okay.” Lilac looked happy, she leaned over and kissed him. “You are the best!”

Actually, this was the best option, because she didn’t think she could face Kellan on her own after their last encounter and how she lost her cool at that time.

Not to mention about how Kellan’s condition must be worse than the last time. Knowing Hunter, he must have done something unimaginable to him.

The next morning, after they had their breakfast, Hunter took her to the dungeon, where Lilac saw Rye was there. The gamma looked at her questioningly.

“Is it okay for him to know that I am here?” Lilac whispered to Hunter and the alpha. told her that his gamma and his beta knew the complicated relationship between her and Kellan.

“I should have just asked him to allow me to meet him yesterday,” Lilac talked to herself. If the two of them already knew, there was no need for her to hide it anymore, right?

Hunter just laughed to see her pursing her lips and guided her inside the dungeon. Not like before, Lilac realized that they went deeper into the dungeon. As if Hunter had moved Kellan’s cell closer to the end of it. The spot where no one didn’t want to step in.

The wall was damp and the only sound that could be heard inside this dimly lit tunnel was the sound of their footstep and the dripping water from the ceiling.

“Cold?” Hunter asked, he draped his cloak around her body.

“No. I am fine,” Lilac murmured.

However, Hunter didn’t buy it. “No. You are not.”

And they finally arrived at Kellan’s cell, Hunter reminded her again about what she was going to see.

“Don’t get close to him, you will not like it what you are going to see.”

Lilac wanted to say not to worry about it, but she knew better to take his warning seriously, because he wouldn’t have reminded her a few times if this was something that she could handle.

Even from here, Lilac could smell the putrid scent from inside this cell. This located in the end of the tunnel and she was sure, not many people would love to come to this particular area.

She couldn’t imagine what if someone to be held in this kind of place, because she was barely able to stand her for this long.

“Wh- who is that?!”

There was a growl from inside the cell. The voice was very hoarse, dark and very hurtful to your ears.

This made Lilac shuddered. Kellan’s voice was not like this the last time she met him.

It almost like someone, who never drank anything for weeks. She could imagine how hurtful it was when you spoke.

“Who is there?!”

The sound like someone clawed a wall. It hurt your teeth.

Lilac gathered her courage and replied to the question. “It’s me.”

“You need to talk louder, love,” Hunter told her. “I accidentally destroyed his hearing, so him.” he couldn’t hear it if you didn’t shout to Accidentally?

Who would believe that? There was nothing accident if it came to this man. He was not someone, who would do something unintentional.

Lilac wondered how Kellan’s condition right now, because he was curling at the corner of the cell and the dark was too thick, the only thing she could see was his silhouette.

Lilac glanced at Hunter and her mate only gave her an innocent look, seemingly didn’t- know why he was being stared at like that.

This time, Lilac spoke louder and from inside the cell, there was this thunderous guffaw that echoed throughout the walls.

w you “I know you will come to me again! I will come to see me again! Why? Did you miss your father?!”

The question made Lilac’s stomach churned, but she needed to get the answer that she deserved.

“Tell me about my mother!”

That was not a question, but a demand. She didn’t want to listen another bullshit that came from his mouth.

Aiden was in a great dilemma when he had to disclose every hiding spot in the pack house to this woman. Her name was Danika. She was a warrior of this lycan pack.

And from what Aiden learned as he already stayed in this pack for more than two. months, he knew a little bit of detail of the background story of this pack.

Apparently, this woman’s father was the eldest brother of Hunter’s father, which made her Hunter’s cousin. Actually, it should be Danika’s father, who became the alpha, but. because a big dispute that shed a lot of blood, Danika’s father was being chased out from the pack, along with a few people.

There were not many people knew about this story, because it happened long before Danika and Hunter were born, the people, who knew about it also was being shut down. by the alpha at that time.

However, Kellan knew about the story and he had been in contact with them ever since Hunter openly rejected his daughter and chose Lilac to be his luna.

He didn’t know that Lilac was his daughter at that time, if he knew, he would have changed the plan.

‘Why do you need me?’

That was the first question that came to Aiden’s mind because there was no reason for Danika to involve him, especially when she had to make a big sacrifice to save him.

‘Because you killed the previous alpha. That was a simple answer. ‘We, lycan, knew how to repay someone else’s favor.

In their eyes, what Aiden had done was a great favor for them. He essentially had avenged their alpha’s vengeance.

Hearing that, Aiden could only bite his tongue. Only if they knew that Hunter was the who had killed his own father. Yes. That alpha lycan was that crazy.

one, Therefore, this was how they would repay him for that favor.

Aiden wouldn’t say anything about it. Let them think that they owed him, because right now, he could only relay on that.

“The ceremony will be held tonight,” Danika said. “Be ready.”

This woman still looked gloomy like usual, but the more Aiden looked at her, the more he found her very endearing. She held power and knew what she needed to do, but more importantly, she agreed to devote herself to him, which meant, the power in her hand would be his.

“Okay.” Aiden nodded. He was ready for tonight.

And that same night, Ruby was woken up because of the excruciating pain that she felt. She was breathing raggedly and her body writhed in agony. The mark on her neck. burned her skin.

She was having a hard time to breath and without her knowing it, she was crying out loud, asking for help, though she didn’t know what the cause of her pain. She only wanted this to end.

Ruby pleaded to no one in particular for this pain to stop, but it was to no use because she was sure there was no one nearby.

After the dispute between her and luna Jasmine, everyone avoided her like a germ, because they didn’t want to upset the luna and be on her bad side. The luna had been very hostile toward Ruby, accusing her to seduce her mate and would lash out to anyone, who even mentioned her name.

Therefore, no one would come to her rescue, but then Ruby felt someone touched her. His voice laced with worry
