Maximus was Jedrek's first Beta, but because of the treachery that his family had committed that caused them to be executed, Maximus was demoted to be the first general, but Jedrek trusted him and listened to him more than his own Beta, Lyrus.
"He challenged you for the Alpha title?" Kace asked for confirmation, he was surprised that Maximus would be so reckless to think that he could make Jedrek knelt before him when he was not able to beat Kace.
Yes, Kace was hurt because of him that made the younger Donovan had to travel to the northern coven realm to heal himself. However, he did give Maximus such a good fight that he almost died.
"Yes," Jedrek answered.
"After everything that he had done for you, finally he showed you his true color. You should execute him together with the rest of his family," Kace scoffed.
"How about the dragon people?" Jedrek asked different thing to Torak, because he didn't want to linger in that topic. "I heard the earth dragon is looking for their last female."
Torak didn't even surprise when Jedrek knew about the dragon people in his territory. "The devils kidnapped their last female."
"I don't trust them," Kace voiced out his opinion. "They betrayed us even without having their last female being kidnapped, so why now they will be on our side when their last hope to keep their existence is in the hand of the devil?"
Kace got the point. The dragon people barely could be trusted or reliable enough to be a part of their strategy.
"The vow will prevent them to do such a thing again." Serefina reminded them about the vow that the dragon people had made.
As the consequences of their treachery, all the dragons people were forbade to shift into their beast, except for two occasions.
"That is not enough." Torak shook his head.
"Not only earth dragon, but also water dragon, air dragon and fire dragon, which the three of them are in your territory. Have you ever visited them?" Kace asked Jedrek.
"No," Jedrek said. "They live at the end of my territory. As long as nothing significant happens, I don't need to et them."
"I think this is the ti for you to pay them a visit," Kace suggested.
The more they talked and put their thought about the important issue at hand, the more enmity between them was almost forgotten, as they placed their focus elsewhere.
This was a good start and the discussion was not as worse as they predicted. They just needed ti to adjust with each other again, after all, they had won the first battle together and they would do it again together.
"How about the guardian angel?" Hope, who kept quiet just like Lilac and Raine, finally opened her mouth and voiced out her question. "You have the guardian angel to win the battle in the first war, so what exactly did you do to them to win the war?"
The discussion died down when they heard Hope's question.
Raine raised her head and looked at the three Donovan and Serefina with interest. She had been asking this question to Torak, but he always said that was not the right ti for Raine to know about that, thus she had to wait.
"What?" Hope stared at everyone in the room intensely. She was always curious about everything, more so when Kace refused to answer the very sa question.
"I think this is the ti for them to know, don't you think so too?" Serefina leaned forward to see the Donovans' hard faces.
"No, they will know about this later." Jedrek didn't agree to Serefina.
However, it was Lilac, who answered Hope's question without asking permission. She agreed with Serefina. It was the ti for Raine and Hope knew about this. Just like what she had expected, their mate didn't let them know the detail of the reason why the guardian angels were extinct.
"They sapped the guardian angel's power and drew their blood in order to win the battle," Lilac said and Hope widened her eyes in surprised, yet when she looked at Raine, her expression didn't change, as if she had known this. "You know about this?" Lilac asked her.
"Yes," Raine replied softly. "I went to the past when they destroyed the village of angel."
And now all the eyes were on Raine and this made her slightly uncomfortable. Torak could feel that and squeezed her hand to let her knew she was there and there was nothing to be afraid of.
"The shadow warrior used to use guardian angel's blood when they fought their enemies. They would coat their weapon with it." Raine finished it with dejected sound as she relived the mory of Aeon. She still blad herself for not strong enough to protect the one who cared for her.
Torak looked at Lilac disapprovingly when she ntioned that, but she simply ignored him completely and put her focus on Raine.
"The shadow guard's way to use the guardian angel for their own benefit and how they forced to mate with them, was one thing that the moon goddess didn't approve." Jedrek replied to Raine, but she frowned at him.
"But, the shadow warrior protected them." Raine didn't agree with Jedrek. It was right that the shadow warrior took benefit from the guardian angel, but they gave their protection in return.
"That was not how it should be." Serefina chid in. "The reason why Selene gave an order to the lycanthropes to take the guardian angel away from the shadow warrior."
"But, if you drew the guardian angel's blood like what the shadow warrior did, it wouldn't kill them, right?" Raine looked at Lilac for approval.
"I don't rember that we sapped the guardian angel's power. But, when they ca into the battlefield, they looked barely alive," Torak narrowed his eyes at Jedrek suspiciously. "What happened?"
"Right," Kace seed to have just rembered it too. "You didn't sap their power, did you?"
