The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 1084: Side story: let me do the right thing

Jedrek couldn't say how happy he was when he finally met Lilac and she still seemed to have feelings for him. It was unbelievable, but at the same it was an amazing feeling for him to say the least.

He wasn't used to sharing his feelings, but he wanted everyone to know that he was happy beyond words. It was quite complicated.

Apparently, Lilac had been living near her original house after she returned to this realm, but because of her youthful appearance, she could only stay there for a few years before she had to move to another place.

However, three months ago, she decided to return to this place again and opened this flower shop. She bought an apartment and wanted to stay here for as long as she could before she felt the need to move again.

And here they were, inside Lilac small, but comfortable apartment on the seventh floor of a residential building not too far from her flower shop.

"You live in this place?" Jedrek scrunched his nose in disgust, but he was trying so hard to not let Lilac saw it, though it was quite impossible.

"Why?" Lilac asked, the corner of her lips curled into a slight smile, because she knew exactly why Jedrek didn't like to be in this place.

This apartment room, which only has one bedroom and bathroom along with a small living room and a kitchen, couldn't be compared to the luxurious facilities of the castle that the king used to live in.

But, Lilac said she needed time to decide whether she wanted to go back to the supernatural realm or not.

Of course Jedrek wouldn't rush her even though Lilac knew that if it was Jedrek from the past, he would use every way possible to bring her back to that realm.

However now, Jedrek didn't want to force her to do something that she didn't want to do, especially when Lilac had willingly taken him back and the worse possibility in Jedrek's mind didn't actually take shape.

The king would relent everything that Lilac wished for, thus he would let her stay for however much time she want, until she felt like it to go back with him.

"No, nothing." Jedrek shook his head hurriedly and ventured into the room further. His ocean blue eyes skimmed every corner of the place, but there was nothing much that he could see except the sweet and colorful room, with many flowers surrounding it.

Jedrek was not a fan of flowers, but he liked lilac, as they had the same scent like his mate, so literally speaking, the king now was surrounded by the 'touch' of her.

"You can sit anywhere you want," Lilac said as she walked toward the kitchen and took out a jar of water and two glasses for Jedrek and herself. "I just have water, I hope you don't mind."

Lilac's voice was a little bit louder, since she thought Jedrek was in the living room and she was in the kitchen, thus the lycanthropes king wouldn't be able to hear her.

Apparently, she forgot that Jedrek could hear her just fine. It was just Lilac who had turned into a mere human. The king was still the same creature with extremely heightened senses.

Jedrek then followed her into the kitchen. "I don't mind it, as long as I am with you," he said and hugged her from back and rested his chin on her shoulder.

Lilac giggled, but she squirmed away. "Behave."

"Okay," Jedrek said, raising his hands above his head. A surrender gesture. He clearly didn't want to upset her.

Lilac smiled softly, the kind of smile that would make you smile as well without any particular reason. "What do you want for dinner?"

At first, Lilac thought it would be awkward if she stayed with Jedrek in the same place like this, alone. However, it seemed the fourteen years of separation didn't affect them too much, as they could interact normally, just like the times they had a good relationship and knew each other, before the war broke out years ago.

"Why don't you let me make something for you instead?" Jedrek asked. He stared at Lilac, who was raising her brows questioningly.

"You can't cook." That was a statement and Lilac was quite sure with what she said. Since when did Jedrek have to cook for himself when he could get everything with only a wiggle of his fingers?

"I learned," Jedrek said offhandedly.

Yes, he learned how to cook, though he was not really good at it, but he had a list of things that he wanted to do with Lilac, when he finally found her and today was just the first day of all the things to come.

"Why do you want to learn it?" Lilac couldn't understand Jedrek's intentions.

"So, I can take care of you," he said while rummaging Lilac's small fridge and then frowned because he didn't like how empty it was. "You don't have anything here."

"You don't need to take care of me, I can take care of myself and my fridge is not empty, I just don't go grocery shopping often."

"What do you eat then?" Jedrek was still dwelling on the fact that Lilac didn't have something in her storage as well.

Lilac leaned her back against the dinner table and folded her arms in front of her chest. "You are so old fashioned. I can get any dish that I want with only a single call."

Jedrek rolled his eyes when he heard that. "Let's go buy something edible for you to fill your tiny fridge." He didn't want her to be starving and the way the lycan said 'tiny fridge' annoyed Lilac.

"My fridge is not tiny. If you come only to criticize the way how I live, you can go." Lilac glared at Jedrek, thinking she would upset him, because usually he would come back with a strong response.

However, to Lilac's surprise, Jedrek didn't retort her words. But instead, leaned over to kiss Lilac's head and smiled softly at her. "I will not go anywhere nor will I take my words back. You need to be well fed."

"I told you that I can take care of myself," Lilac said stubbornly like usual and this only made Jedrek reminisce about the past. It reminded him of how strong headed his mate had always been.

"I know, but I still want to take care of you." He kissed her forehead. "Let me do the right thing now."
