The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 805 - CHIRON VISITED LILAC

"Lilac is sick after the mating ceremony," Calleb glanced at Chiron and clicked his tongue. "You know, the marking and mating for a lycan will never be something easy."

"Hm," Chiron hummed, but didn\'t say anything again.

The silence that fell between them was slightly awkward, but then the Gamma remembered the question that Chiron had not answered yet.

"Why are you here? I thought you were with Kace and the other people," Calleb asked Chiron curiously. He spotted something like a purple fabric stuffed inside a small bag that the centaur tied up around his torso.

"No," Chiron said in low voice. "I\'m here to see Lilac," he repeated the same reason.

"Well, I have told you that you can\'t see her," Calleb told him again. He felt slightly uneasy with the way Chiron\'s unperturbed insistence to meet Lilac. "How did you get into the castle?"

Chiron tilted his head and chuckled lightly, as if Calleb had just asked him a silly question. "Through the gates, of course."

"Oh, right," Calleb murmured. In that case, he could assume that the guards already knew about Chiron and didn\'t have a restriction order to not allow him to enter the castle.

They walked together toward the king\'s chamber, but then Calleb stopped right in front the door and turned around to face Chiron.

He had known this centaur only for a short period of time, but since he was with Kace, thus there was no reason for Calleb to question him.

"Wait, I don\'t think you can enter the room," Calleb said in hesitation as his brows creased, because he didn\'t really know what decision he should make. "May I know, why you want to see Lilac?" he shrugged his shoulders in an attempt to make his question appear inoffensive to Chiron. "She is not someone that you can see as you like. You know the king."

Chiron blinked and looked at Calleb straight into his eyes. "Of course, I know him," he said. "I know him more than you do."

After all, Chiron had known Jedrek and experienced his tyranny even before Calleb was born. Therefore, he knew Jedrek perfectly and what he wanted now.

"In that case, I think you will understand if I said that you need the king\'s permission to visit his chamber." Calleb smiled, waiting for Chiron\'s reaction.

The Gamma couldn\'t let just anyone to enter the king chamber, after all, it was just not Lilac in the chamber, but both Raine and Hope were also present, as they were accompanying Lilac.

And Chiron\'s intention was slightly questionable. Calleb wasn\'t informed beforehand that Chiron would come to visit Lilac, so why did he suddenly appear here and demanded a meeting with her? Not to mention, Lilac was the queen now.

"I have to see her," Chiron said in a demanding tone, as his voice turned hard.

At this point, Calleb felt something was not right with this centaur before he realized that there were no guards here. Even, when they walked toward this wing, the Gamma didn\'t see any guards.

Where were they? They shouldn\'t leave their posts just like that.

"Chiron," Calleb called his name coldly. "I don\'t know what you are up to, but whatever it was, I want you to stop. If you want to see Lilac, you can wait until the king had returned."

Chiron smiled faintly. He didn\'t look fl.u.s.tered or hesitant. "I don\'t want to wait for the king." And his next words put Calleb on alert. "He is not my king."

==============

The people, who came with Sterling had settled down near the campsite of the centaurs and the hunters.

Their number indeed increased, but there was another problem that rose as well; it was hard for them to get along with each other.

Jedrek and Torak\'s people felt a strong discomfort to have a horde of rogues or other unknown creatures to be part of their army and likewise, meanwhile these both parties were not on good terms with each other as well.

Jedrek\'s people, since this was their realm, showed their superiority over Torak\'s people and all the Alphas in his pack didn\'t take it really well to be treated less than what they deserved.

"I will take Sterling and his family back to the castle with us," Kace stated. He was not asking for permission, he just told Jedrek what he was going to do.

"Do as you wish," Jedrek mumbled as didn\'t seem interested about whoever Kace would want to take back to the castle. "We will leave now."

"All right, I will tell them to get ready," Kace said as he walked out of the tent, leaving Torak, Jedrek, Sebastian and Eaton inside.

Once Kace was out of the tent, Sebastian voiced out his concern.

"I had not seen the chief of the centaur recently," he said. "And no one got to see him either."

Jedrek and Torak looked at the general with creased brows.

"Did Kace know about this?" Jedrek asked. The centaurs were the people under Kace. He should be aware about Chiron disappearance, more over he was not any ordinary centaur, he was the chief of those creatures.

"I think Kace knew about it. He has been asking about Chief Chiron\'s whereabouts since yesterday, yet no one know where he was, including the female centaur named Carina." Because Carina was often found together with Chiron, thus it was pretty normal to turn to her when they couldn\'t find him.

Jedrek contemplated for a while "Kace didn\'t talk about it with you?"

"No," Torak said truthfully.

"He shouldn\'t keep something like this," Jedrek said in a cold tone.

==============

"Chiron, what do you want to do?" Kace asked, his back against the door, as he mind- linked Raine inside the chamber.

[What happened out there Call? I can hear you talking to someone.] Raine\'s voice echoed inside Kace\'s head.

[Whatever you hear, don\'t come outside and try to reach Raphael. I can\'t reach him.] It was strange that he couldn\'t mind- link the Beta.
