445: THIRTEEN YEARS OLD (9)

THIRTEEN YEARS OLD (9)

"KACE!" Hope screamed at the top of her lungs when she saw the white wolf dashing toward her with his sharp fangs and claws.1

Out of instinct, Hope dropped to the ground and covered her head between her hands. She thought Kace was about to attack her based on the vicious look in his red eyes. 

However, the pain that she expected didn't come, instead she heard a loud menacing snarl like growl from behind her. 

Slowly, with a thumping heart, Hope pried her eyes open and watched in horror as the white lycan continued to tear a woman apart.

Hope had never seen her before, but from the looks of it, apparently the woman was another supernatural creature and when Hope's eyes landed on her golden ones, she knew immediately who she was…

Those golden eyes…

Was she the creature that possessed Aidan earlier? 

Hope was very astounded by what she was witnessing until something soft touched the side of her body.

She flinched and was about to fight and run away again when her eyes caught sight of a brown wolf beside her. 

"Lana!" Hope exclaimed in surprise as the feeling of relief flooded her system, letting her relax. With Kace and Lana here, she was safe now. 

The brown wolf nudged Hope's hips and she grimaced. "It's okay…" She mumbled and let the brown wolf help her to stand up, and moved to the side so they wouldn't get caught in between the fight that was breaking out in front.

Hope supported her body with the wall behind her and watched as the white Lycan tore the woman's neck and threw her ruthlessly to the nearby tree.

The tree shook and let out a cracking sound, yet it didn't fall. 

The woman crawled with her arms to avoid the vicious attack from the white lycan and rolled her body aside. 

At this point, Hope had forgotten about the pain in her hips. The scene before her eyes was something that she had never seen before. She had never known that the gentle white wolf could turn into something so brutal like this.

It didn't mean Hope mind it, after all, the woman had possessed her friend's body and almost killed her if Kace and Lana didn't come right in time.

When the fight was still happening, more growls and snarls could be heard from the distance and it wasn't only one or two. From the sound of it, it seemed there were at least ten werewolves or Lycan, coming in their direction.

Hope could feel the brown wolf, which was standing in front of her, tensing a bit. Lana then let out a low and deep growl of her own.

What is it? Are they not friends? Since they were from the same kind, Hope thought they were here to help them, yet the long howl from the white lycan told her that wasn't the case anymore. 

The disturbance forced the white Lycan to stop with his attacks. Unfortunately, that one moment was used by the woman to escape. The moment her figure darted through the trees, she disappeared, leaving only white smoke as she vanished without a trace.

The white lycan snarled and growled in his anger, seeing his prey managed to get away. 

But, everything happened really fast, because at the same moment the woman with golden eyes disappeared into thin air, there were around twenty werewolves and Lycans came into Hope's line of sight.

The brown wolf in front of Hope anxiously pushed her against the wall, hiding her figure from the creatures that had just come.

Yet, it was just a futile attempt because they could sniff her scent from where they were standing on their sturdy legs.

Fortunately, the majestic and livid white lycan before their eyes was enough to draw their attention from Hope.

Among the crowd of huge wolves, there was one big grey wolf that stepped forward. Though that wolf wasn't as big as the white one, its size was bigger than the other creatures that came with him. 

The two creatures stared at each other for a few seconds before the big grey wolf lowered its head and showed its neck.

Hope recognized that as a sign of submission. Kace had told her about one or two rules within his kind and it also indicated that Kace held some higher position compared to the rest of the werewolves and lycans there.

That fact alone was enough to make Hope sigh in relief. 

She couldn't imagine if Kace had to fight those twenty creatures so soon. Though Lana would help, Hope doubted they would have an upper hand. 

Afterward, there was an ear- piercing cracking sound from the big grey wolf as he shifted into his human's form.

He was a man, who was only slightly shorter than Kace, wearing torn jeans and a tee shirt, yet the air around him showed that he was someone with a higher rank and that he couldn't be underestimated. 

"My name is Calleb Watson. I am Gamma supreme in Alpha Torak's pack." That man introduced himself. "I assume you are the younger brother of our Alpha."

Calleb ended his sentence on a questioning note as he stared at the white lycan before him. It was well known that there were only three white lycans and all of them were Donovans.

Whoever they were, they couldn't disregard the royal family from their kinds, though this was not the other Donovan's land. 

To answer Calleb's question, Kace shifted back into his human form with his clothes and pants intact. His blue eyes were still in the color of blood, but he was aware enough of his surroundings and had full control over his beast. 

"Gluttony is roaming in your land and you don't know about that." Kace growled in his deep voice, his livid eyes boring a hole in the Gamma's head. "Yet, because of you, she managed to escape."

"We know she is in our land and we have been chasing after her during these past years." Calleb admitted. "I guess you are Kace Donovan, would you like to meet your brother to talk about this?"
