404: JUST DRIVE!

JUST DRIVE!

Kace growled at the information. How did that jackass know about his whereabouts?!0

"I will carry her." Kace let out a deep growl when Serefina wanted to take Hope from his arms. His instinct didn't let him give his mate away when there was danger nearby.

Kace didn't even trust Serefina enough to protect his mate. He was very possessive now.

"Alright!" On the other hand, Serefina knew those eyes too well. The possessiveness that was radiating from the Lycan's entire body was enough warning to not push his buttons further. "If you don't want to give the baby, get up now. We have to leave immediately!"

Serefina walked out of the living room, without even saying goodbye or just a simple 'thank you' to Alec or Ariana.

Alec, who just managed to coax Arabella to sleep, came out of the baby's room and immediately felt the tension in the air.

"What happened here?" He asked, puzzled.

On the other hand, Ariana rose to her feet and stormed out of the room and came back seconds later with a blue backpack.

"Bring this with you." She shoved the blue backpack to Kace. "I have this prepared for Hope. It has everything that Hope needs for two days." She said before she stopped to talk to Alec to explain briefly about their situation.

"I will go to stop him as long as I could!" Alec rushed out to meet Maximus on the way here. "After all this is Alpha Torak's territory, he couldn't do anything rash in the other Donovan's land!" He mumbled as he turned into his beast as soon as he stepped on to the terrace.

In the living room, Ariana was talking very fast about how Kace should take care of a two months old baby. She regretted that she didn't explain it sooner and thought they still had a lot of time to do this.

"Ariana, thank you so much!" Kace used his left hand to give the Luna a hug while holding baby Hope with the other. The baby was sleeping soundly, without any care for the world.

"Don't thank me, you are making me cringe." Though that was what she said, but she hugged the big Lycan back.

"KACE!" From the backyard, Serefina's shrill voice called out his name impatiently

Kace released Ariana and hugged the baby firmly in his arms. Made sure that the blanket covered her tiny body and kept her warm.

"Go." Ariana opened the back door, let Kace go to where Serefina had been waiting for him with a grim expression. The witch didn't like to wait.

With one last nod, Kace and Serefina disappeared from Ariana's backyard.

==============   

"D*mn it! where are we, witch!?" Kace cursed under his breath, when in a sheer moment of luck, he managed to escape both death and going straight away to Tartarus.

Well, it wouldn't be a pleasant visit.

Kace backed away immediately from the edge of the rooftop of a building, one wrong step and he would fall from this height. For a second, the Lycan wondered if he could survive, but of course he wouldn't want to know with Hope in his arms.

"Wrong place." Serefina said nonchalantly as she started to walk and ordered him to follow her.

With huff and puff, he followed the witch regardless. Kace grumbled and checked on Hope, she had woken up from her sleep and was playing with her tiny thumbs.

"Where are we?" Kace asked Serefina again as they walked down the stairs and exited from emergency door.

"Still in white claw pack." She replied with a grumble.

White claw pack was the pack that was under Alec, in other words, Serefina didn't teleport them too far from the Alpha's house.

"Why didn't you bring us out of this place directly?" Kace protested. He was fine with all the wrestling and brawls, but with Hope nearby, that wasn't a good option.

"I am too tired from bringing her here." Serefina glanced at the baby. "We will go to another city, I think it will take more than two days by car," she mumbled to herself as she fished out a car key from her pocket.

The moon shone brightly on the night sky as if the moon goddess was greeting them and the baby blinked her eyes slowly.

In Kace's eyes, it was so fascinating to witness the way Hope pouted her lips and gushed. Everything about her is so pure and pristine.

Hope's weight was practically nothing. She was so tiny and precious, making Kace wonder again; how a sinner like him could be blessed with such purity?

He was determined to protect her. Not that the thought didn't cross his mind before, but this time it was more solid than ever.

All the confusion about whether he deserved a mate or not had vanished. Kace knew from the first time he laid his eyes on her that his life had just begun.

His salvation was already here in a bundle of joy in his arms…

"Give me the baby," Serefina cut short Kace's thoughts as she tried to snatch the baby away from him.

Out of instinct, Kace growled defensively at her.

"Stop trying to bite me!" Serefina roared back at him agitatedly. "You drive." She gave the car key to him and extended her arms, not wanting to provoke Kace further as his eyes had turned dark already.

Though Kace would be warm and sunny most of the time, but the witch knew better to not aggravate the beast that resided in him.

Kace wasn't an Alpha, but just like his two brothers, his beast and his human side were powerful compared to a normal shifter.

"Give me the baby." Serefina glared at Kace impatiently.

Releasing a long breath, the Lycan handed the baby and took the car key from her hands as he stuffed himself behind the wheel and started the engine.

"Hold her firmly, but not too tight, you will hurt her!" Kace warned Serefina as he glared at her from the rearview mirror.

His now black eyes flashed with worry and anxiousness at the way Serefina was cradling Hope in her arms carelessly.

Serefina frowned and gritted her teeth, the baby was fine the way she held her. The Lycan was just being super annoying now.

"JUST DRIVE!"
