Chapter 93: Bickering

As Darcio put the ’sapphire of wish’ on Lyra’s neck, dazzling blue light covered the entire space leaving everyone surprised.

Slowly Lyra’s painful whimpers eased as the blue light completely disappeared. Blake sighed a relief seeing her peaceful sleeping face. He turned towards Darcio and expressed his heartfelt gratefulness "Thank you...Thank you so much"

Darcio shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with me, your majesty" then his eyes glanced at Lyra’s neck where the gem was laid "The gem protected its master. I was only an aide in suggesting it"

"We wouldn’t know what do to if you weren’t here," Lucas said as he kneeled beside the stone bed taking Lyra’s hand in his palm.

Demir strode towards Darcio and patted his shoulder "You did great Darcio. Thank you for helping my sunshine"

Darcio widened his eyes hearing his master’s first-ever praise in his long life. "Mas-master? Did you just praise me?" he asked in bewilderment.

Demir narrowed his eyes and asked him "When did I?"

"Just now master," Darcio said cheerfully brightening the whole room with his voice, "You said that I did great! My master said that I did great, Woah!" he jumped around the room screaming.

Demir smiled faintly seeing him. Whereas Blake glared at Darcio "Get out from here before I kick you and your master out"

Darcio stopped his movement and looked at Blake.

Blake pointed towards the door and said in a cold voice "You are disturbing my Lilly’s sleep, get out"

Letting out his words, Blake turned back towards Lyra. While Darcio blinked his eyes and glanced at Demir "Did his majesty scold me just now master?"

Demir chuckled "Yeah, so you better go out before that snake loses his temper"

Darcio shook his head in dismay and exited the room, ’Why were all of them so erratic? One minute they praise and another minute they rebuke’ he thought inwardly.

After Darcio went out of the rose castle, Blake got on the bed and pulled Lyra towards him. Calming his raging nerves he looked at the other males inside "I will be with Lilly today, so all of you can leave"

Lucas narrowed his eyes "No way, I’m not going anywhere away from Ly’s side" saying that he turned into his silver wolf form and laid on the ground near the stone bed.

Same as him, Noah too turned into his beast form a majestic lion and scooted towards the other side of the bed near Lyra’s sleeping figure.

Both Victor and Demir glanced at each other. They truly couldn’t get far from their beloved after seeing her in such a helpless condition but thought that they didn’t deserve to be inside this room. In the beast world, males who didn’t yet mate with their females didn’t have the authority to stay in the space where they slept. Although they already broke the rules by stepping inside in the past, they didn’t miss the hostile glare they always received from official partners that were Blake, Noah, and Lucas.

"I’m going to stay," Demir said stubbornly ignoring Blake’s cold glare, "What if something like this happens again? It would be a chore to always look for me. If I stay, it is the same as Darcio a great sage staying"

Blake snickered hearing his self-assertive words. He was trying to prove the point of his importance in such a haughty and clumsy manner whereas it was Darcio who helped Lilly.

"Don’t try your luck poison guy, Living inside the castle is fine, but here?" he raised his brows and shook his head "Dream on, this is my mate’s sleeping place, and I have no intention of letting an outsider stay here any longer"

Demir frowned hearing the word poison guy. What the hell was that!? "Are you really calling me a poison guy? You, a snake whose body is full of venom?"

Blake decided to ignore his snarky words "Whatever, just know that I will not let you stay here"

Demir clenched his jaws and looked at Victor with seething eyes "Are you also going to go out?"

Victor shrugged his shoulders and glanced at him "I anyway stay inside the rose castle, so I don’t think it is a big deal for me to be here" he looked at Demir clicking his tongue "But you are different from me, you are no less than a stranger"

"You are a stranger too" Blake commented after hearing Victor’s smug words, "And if you cross the line, then I will have no choice but to ask you to stay in your tribe"

Victor’s smirk fell and turned into a grimace "Are you serious right now?"

Blake sighed and frowned at him "Just get out Victor"

"How dare you!?" Victor took a threatening step only to stop in his tracks because of Demir’s hold.

He turned back at to only see Demir shaking his head with a smile on his lips "Now is not the right time to fight Victor, you will only disturb my sunshine’s sleep" he left his arm and gestured towards the door "He is right, we really don’t have any rights to stay here" then something brewed inside his golden iris and a deadly grin formed on his rims making Victor flinch "Just you see when I finally become her mate, I will teach a lesson to that snake"

"Good luck with that" Blake commented chuckling.

Victor on another side distanced himself from Demir and sneakily got out of the room. He knew that Demir was seething inside and his tight smile proved that fact. As crazy as he was, he also knew when to distance himself from the upcoming storm. Demir was known for his rage, it was always the calm before the storm. Although they both were of equal strength, Demir was someone who crazily used different kinds of poison attacks on his enemies. His own poison was already deadly, but that guy continued to experiment mixing other poisons with his to make it more powerful or tragic to the opponent, that was also the reason for Blake calling him a poison guy.

Inside the room, Demir closed his eyes trying to calm his bubbling anger, then strode towards the stone bed. Glaring at Blake, he bent towards Lyra and kissed her forehead, his erratic nerves relaxed the moment he touched her, his eyes mellowed turning into brilliant golden color under the moonlight coming from the window "Good night sunshine" he whispered as his lips lingered on her forehead. Not having enough, his eyes darted towards Blake almost pleading, "Let me hug her snake, I will return after that. Please...."

Blake removed his hands from Lyra’s waist and sat beside her turning away from Demir.

Demir smiled brightly and took Lyra into his arms cradling her "My sunshine...." he breathed his words relaxing in her presence. Inhaling her addictive scent, he kissed the side of her head. It was very difficult for him to release her, this feeling now felt wonderful. She was so soft and warm, a stark opposite to his cold exterior. Cuddling her for some more time, he finally released and laid her on the bed, and exited the room.
