469: PRUDE

PRUDE

On the other side, Lana walked past the fuming Hope with an expression that was devoid of any emotion. She had seen how Kace and Hope interacted just now, and it was enough for her to know her own place.0

At least, she hoped she knew before this feeling became more unbearable.

"Lana, did you know Kace will come back today? And he becomes a substitute for Mr. Wentworth." Hope followed Lana inside the house.

"No, I didn't." Lana shook her head as she went inside her bedroom with Hope following behind her just like a lost puppy. "I think Serefina also didn't know about this."

"Yes, I can see how angry she was." Hope plopped down on Lana's bed and hugged her pillow. "Why did he come back? If he takes a job as a teacher in our school, then it means he will not leave in the near future, right?"

The possibility of Kace not roaming around the outside world and would stay for a longer time, excited her, though Hope wouldn't admit it.

"It depends." Lana changed her clothes to a pair of jeans and tee shirt, her everyday outfit.

"What do you mean?" Hope frowned, already disliking the idea of the possibility that Kace would leave again.

"Since Kace returned out of the blue, he must have a plan of his own. It depends if he could convince Serefina. Or…" Lana pulled her backpack from under her bed.

"Or?" Hope followed Lana's movements with her eyes.

"Or… even if Serefina agreed or not, Kace will stay anyway." Lana shrugged her shoulders. "You know right, both of them are stubborn."

"Yeah. It's hard to live with them." Hope nodded.

"You are stubborn too." Lana glanced at her and took the backpack with her to stuff some clothes inside.

"I am not." Hope pouted. Well, sometimes she would be stubborn as well, but not all the times like the two of them. "Where are you going?"

Lana was rearranging her things as if she would go for days. It had been a while since Lana had gone for a secret mission on Serefina's orders. Maybe, since she started working as an arts teacher.

"I have to go somewhere." Lana said without turning back.

"That stupid mission again?" Hope scoffed. She disliked it whenever they had to leave her alone in this house. Sometimes, Hope would go over to the siblings house and even stayed overnight there.

Lana chuckled when she heard that. "Serefina will tell you off if she heard how you addressed her task."

"It's alright, she is with Kace now." Hope also laughed lightly. "I wonder what they are talking about."

============== 

"I thought you will tell me off or at least throw one or two fireballs." Kace grinned as Serefina was only staring daggers at him since five minute ago.

He was looking at Serefina while running his hand on the surface of the window, inside Serefina's bedroom.

"No, I want to kill you now!" Serefina glowered. "What the hell do you think you are doing here?!"

Kace sighed deeply and tiredly. "Don't worry, Jedrek's people will not find me here."

Serefina raised her eyebrows. "What have you done to them?"

Kace shook his head. "I hurt Maximus."

Maximus was the lycan who had been tracking him down for centuries now and failed in every attempt as this world was very big and he just worked alone.

Maximus only had two missions, find Kace's mate and kill her or drag the younger brother of Donovan back to their realm.

Since it involved Kace, Maximus only paid attention to Kace. He always thought as long as he found Kace, he would find his mate too.

"Explain to me what you mean by you hurt him?" Serefina narrowed her eyes. "Normal kind of 'hurt' will not bedridden a lycan." She said in a matter of fact tone.

"Let's say, I put dragged him until he was just an inch away from his death bed." Kace still talked lightly, but his eyes flickered with uneasiness. He didn't like the fact that he almost killed Maximus, though that person did nothing but hunt him down all the time.

"Oh, wow!" Serefina raised an eyebrow sarcastically. "Finally, you have come to your senses."

"Don't say it like I want to kill him." Kace narrowed his eyes at her. "I don't have a choice."

Serefina wasn't interested in what he was saying. "So, why do you think that no one will come after you?"

Kace walked to Serefina's bed, but she glared at him. She didn't like it when someone sat on her bed. "Because Maximus is Jedrek's most trusted person." Kace plopped down on the couch near the bed, looking exhausted. "Jedrek will not give the task to kill my mate to other lycans and take the risk of letting more people know about the prophecy, that the Donovans will mate with guardian angels."

Kace knew Jedrek was too prideful to have a guardian angel as his mate. He despised them. He just hoped the moment his brother met his mate, he wouldn't do anything stupid.

But then he looked at Serefina. It was such a pity that they couldn't be together. It was only when he was with Serefina that his brother looked normal.

"I think he will wait until Maximus recovered." Kace added as he leaned against the backrest and closed his eyes.

"Something happened to you right?" Serefina's lime green eyes scrutinized the lycan's body and her brows furrowed. "You are dying."

Kace opened his eyes and rolled them incredulously. "Don't exaggerate the situation. I am just injured, not dying."

Apparently his battle with Maximus had affected Kace as well. During the fight, he couldn't let his beast take control completely. He was hesitant and didn't want to lose it to his bloodlust instincts. Therefore, it led to this.

"Your spirit beast is injured." Serefina corrected herself.

"Hm." Kace nodded. "That is one of my reasons to recuperate here."

"Let's see, how bad your wound is." Serefina sat down beside him.

Kace frowned. "It's on my back. I have to take off my clothes."

Serefina rolled her eyes. "Don't act prude. Take it off!"
