400: IS IT HER?

IS IT HER?

"Put that down, you idiot!" Alec slapped Kace's hand when he tried to mess with the food on the table.0

"I still wonder, how can you live until this day with this kind of home cooking? Ariana is the worst cook ever." Kace grumbled a he picked some overly cooked vegetables from a bowl and frowned when the slimy vegetables slipped from his fork.

"Don't bad mouth my mate's cooking skills!" Alec slapped Kace's back as he snatched away the fork from his hand. "After sometime, you will get used to this. Actually this is not very bad."

Alec proved it by bringing the bowl to his mouth and gulped down the slimy vegetables in one go.

"Yuck!" Kace grimaced as he watched that in horror. "What do you mean by 'after sometime'? I have been eating this for more than thirty years and I am still not used to this.

"Then I think you need more than a hundred years to appreciate it." Ariana chimed in as she put another bowl in front of Kace. "Here you go."

Though Kace would complain endlessly about Ariana's poor cooking skills, he would still come over and over again for dinner if he had time or when he was around.

Because Kace was often travelling to different places.

However, this was the only place where he would stay for three to seven days before he started his journey again.

A journey to find his mate, or the witch.

Serefina, being the annoying self she was, actually left him to fend for himself, in a realm that he had no idea how to survive while he couldn't go back to the castle.

After what Maximus would report to Jedrek, Kace doubted that his brother would be generous enough to let him live without taking a limb or two.

Before Serefina disappeared, once again, she suggested for Kace to look for Torak in this realm as his second brother had established himself here.

But, the thought of having another Alpha- brother control his life again, made Kace turn down the idea almost immediately.

Kace didn't want to have his brothers breathing down his neck round the clock.

Another consideration was, Kace didn't know what was Torak's perspective on finding their mates. He didn't have an open personality, just like Jedrek.

And Kace didn't want to risk anything by betting on something that he himself was unsure of.

Thus, in a blink of an eye, a few more decades had passed, and during that long period of time, Kace had wandered many places in order to find Serefina or his mate, if he was lucky enough, maybe he could find both as the witch was also looking for her.

Kace was always the positive type, but this long- wait sometimes took a toll on him and he became frustrated with whatever he did.

Twenty years ago Kace met Alec and his mate, Ariana. Alec was one of Torak's people, an Alpha for a certain territory under his brother.

He had known both of them ever since the great war and now he was helping Kace to hide from Jedrek and Torak. Such a brave Lycan, if Kace could say.

Alec didn't only go against one but both of Kace's older brothers. And that was one of the reasons why Kace didn't want to stay for too long in his pack and give him and his little family unnecessary trouble.

Though Kace would frequently visit him.

"Uncle Kace, spoon!"

A little and childish voice pulled Kace out of his thoughts as he looked at the small child in front of him, giggling at him innocently.

"You want this spoon?" Kace raised a spoon near his hands high. It had her favorite character on it.

"Spoon!" she stretched out her little arms, asking for her spoon.

"I will give you the spoon if you give me a hug." Yet, before Kace got what he wanted, he received a harsh smack to his back.

"Don't you dare touch my daughter!" Alec growled angrily at Kace.

"Why!?" Kace rubbed his aching back. "Why? She likes me!"

"Figth! Fight! Fight!" Arabella giggled when she noticed that her uncle and daddy were bickering again while her mother was busy preparing dinner for her family.

"You want me to fight your daddy, honey?" Kace winked at the three year old baby, who was jumping on her seat excitedly. "See? She likes me more." Kace stated and it was rewarded by yet another blow to his back.

"Boys! Stop it!" Ariana came with the last plate in her hands, a signature dish of lamb meat, the only thing that Kace's taste buds could tolerate. "Or no one from you will have dinner!"

It was true that both of them have the Alpha's blood in their veins, but at this moment, it was the woman who was in charge.

"Okay." Kace and Alec replied obediently.

"Here you go little one." Kace stretched out his arm to give the spoon to Arabella and rubbed her curly brown hair.

However, before they could start their dinner, there heard the sound of doorbell.

"Who came at this hour?" Ariana frowned and was about to stand up when Alec stopped her and said he would check on it.

Alec walked toward the door and looked at the guest through the peephole. His expression turned unsightly by what he found. He immediately opened the door as the night wind blew inside the house, bringing the scent of the witch and something in her arms into the house.

"Serefina!" Alec mentioned the name in a surprised voice. "What are you doing here?"

Yet, before he could say anything or invite her to come into the house, Alec heard heavy steps from behind him.

Serefina shifted her lime green eyes from Alec to Kace, who was standing foolishly, two meters away from the doorway.

"Hi Kace." Serefina greeted him lightly.

"Don't 'hi' me!" Kace growled, but his eyes were glued to a bundle that Serefina was cradling in her arms.

"Well." Serefina shrugged. "Then, tell me. Is it her?"
