Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 214

Chapter 214: Eventful night (3)

"Master!" Jasper called as he ran toward where Orlork laid. "I must. No, I can’t."

Jasper had been indecisive about when to wake Orlork but after the news he received, he was leaning more toward waking up Orlork. He was only afraid of how Orlork would react to being woken up now.

Once he opened the coffin, there wasn’t any going back so Jasper had been running around in circles all day. He had been so stressed that he shifted out of his control, turning into a bat when he shouldn’t.

"He said to wake him if there is trouble and there is trouble but what if this isn’t important enough and he tries to kill me? I am too young to die," Jasper said, reconsidering his decision.

When Jasper entered the room where Orlork and the others were, he regretted his decision even more.

"If I wait too long and this gets out of hand then he will not be happy with me and I cannot have master unhappy with me. Should I wait for news of his father waking? Why did he give me this task?" Jasper wondered, stressed out from having to make the decision.

Jasper regretted not pushing harder to join the servants who went to sleep with Orlork. He was tired of looking after the home, flying around behind Selene and Xavier secretly to keep them safe, and getting rid of the shifters from the palace who would not stop watching the pair.

"I have already gotten the blood," Jasper said, setting the glass to the side. "I must do this."

Jasper decided to get it over with fast so he placed his hands on the coffin and opened it. "Master!" He called, expecting to see Orlork open his eyes right away but this did not happen. "I did it wrong. Did he go to sleep wrong and he’s been dead all this time?"

"Oh no!" Jasper cried out after he turned into a bat again. "Master, you must wake up."

Jasper knew he made the mistake of not looking into what needed to be done once the coffins were opened.

His bad luck seemed to spread as all the other coffins in the room opened at the same time like they shared one mind.

"Jasper, how many years have passed? You should have learned to be quiet by now," came a voice from a coffin.

Jasper cried tears of joy. "Master, I didn’t kill you. It doesn’t feel like it has been long since you went to sleep. I lost count of the years but I know it has been more than ten years."

Orlork Blackthorn continued to lay in the coffin as the rest of his body slowly woke up. "Why did you wake me if it has only been around a decade? Is my father awake?"

Jasper managed to shift back into his human form. "No, your son is the reason I have woken you. I received word from one of your followers that he is pushing for Xavier to be stripped of the Blackthorn name if Xavier doesn’t follow his orders. Nathaniel has been gathering the Blackthorns to have a family meeting."

"Who gave him the power to do so?" Orlork asked.

"He has given himself the power as the elders are following what he wants. There seems to be a vote on whether they will wake you or your father first. No!" Jasper exclaimed, rushing to Orlork’s side. "You mustn’t get up yet. You must give your body time to fully wake up. I have your blood."
