471: STOP SEEING HIM

STOP SEEING HIM

Serefina stared at Hope with dull eyes while Kace tilted his head, not quite able to understand what Hope was trying to say.1

"Are you… together?" Hope stuttered to finish her words.

"WHAT?!" Serefina barked in disbelief as a disgusted expression crossed her face and she stood up.

Hope jerked away when she heard her angry tone. Oops! Wrong choice of words… "No, no… I am just… what I meant, you look good together. It is rare to see you are getting along well…"

Hope raised her hands when a pillow, magically, got thrown in her direction. However, before the pillow could hit her, Kace sped up to her and swatted it away just in time.

"Hey! Don't get physical with my mate!" Kace bellowed and hid Hope behind his back.

"Get out! Before I throw you both out of this house!" Serefina flared up. She disliked the thing that just Hope tried to imply. Get along with Kace?! Huh! He just know how to bring trouble for her!

"Go, go, go…!" Kace pushed Hope out of the room before the door slammed shut right behind his back.

Both of them were startled and covered their ears as the sound of it reverberated through the house.

"Lana said she is leaving now because she has to stop at another place!" Hope shouted at the closed door and received a bumping sound as a reply. It seemed like Serefina had thrown one more pillow against the door. "Why she is so upset?" Hope muttered sullenly. "I am just saying…"

However, Kace knocked her head softly. "You silly girl. What is inside your dirty little head."

"Hey! I don't try to imply anything, I was just saying what I saw." Hope protested as both of them walked down the corridor and toward the living room.

Apparently, Hope didn't see the wounds on Kace's back when she entered the room.

"Never in million lives would your silly thoughts come true." Kace chuckled, he had never imagined being together with Serefina. The idea alone was absurd enough to give him goosebumps.

Hope pouted her lips sullenly as she sat down beside Kace and turned on the television, searching for a program interesting enough to watch.

Meanwhile, Kace had found the most interesting thing to see. The girl beside him, who was oblivious to the way he was looking at her.

"Why are you dating that boy?" Kace played with the tips of Hope's black hair. It had gotten longer since the last time he met her.

Not only that, everything about her had changed, in a good way. The life in her black eyes, her fierce personality… she had also become taller with her body shaped beautifully.

Hope was no longer the child who would call him 'wolf' or run around in her diapers. Kace loved those memories of her when she was only a little girl, though he wasn't around very often.

However, he loved her more now.

"Why? I don't have a boyfriend, and I can't get one?" Hope crossed her arms defensively. Kace could see that she was nervous, her thumping heart told him everything.

"What about me?" Kace leaned his back against the armrest and stared at her lazily. "Didn't I tell you that you are mine?"

Hope gritted her teeth, praying that her face didn't turn red because of Kace's bold statement. She was still mad because he didn't call her for three years!

"I am not your possession!" Hope snapped, managing to sound angry. "What do you expect? You don't even call me."

"Are you upset because I didn't give you any news?" Kace tilted his head, observing her reaction.

"No, whatever. You can do everything that you want. I don't care." Hope huffed and focused her attention on the television. Well, she was trying… it was hard to concentrate on something when a hot guy was staring at you intently, as if he wanted to eat you whole.

"If I say sorry, will you forgive me?" Kace asked again after a long moment of silence.

"No." Hope said curtly, but she liked it when Kace coaxed her.

"What should I do to make it up to you?" Kace tucked a stray of her hair behind her ear and he could see her hard expression softening. "I came when you were sick. You know that right? So, you can't count it as three years straight."

"You came?" Hope whipped her head toward him and looked at Kace with wide eyes.

"Did you forget about that?" Kace feigned a sad expression, but Hope slapped his shoulder and glared at him, already knowing his façade. "Of course I came. You were sick after all." He chuckled and tousled her hair.

"I thought it was a dream." Hope mumbled as she fixed her hair.

"A dream? Did you think you were dreaming about a prince charming?" Kace beamed with happiness. He had been waiting for moments like these where he could tease her without being awkward.

"No. I thought I dreamt of meeting an evil wolf. It's literally a nightmare." Hope sneered and this made a certain Lycan throw his head back, laughing hard. "But, Lana said she didn't know if you come back."

"No, Lana didn't know, but Serefina did." Kace stopped laughing and grimaced. "She burned my fur with a fireball."

This time it was Hope, who was laughing hard, she could imagine the two of them fighting. Of course, she knew none of them would really hurt each other, but imagining Kace's white beast being chased by the witch and her fireball, was very interesting.

"What are you laughing for?" Kace frowned. "She almost burned me."

"Oh, please. She will not kill you." Hope rolled her eyes, still laughing and Kace loved hearing the sound of her voice.

"Back to the topic." Kace suddenly turned serious, making Hope stop laughing, and peer at him warily. "From now on, stop seeing him."

Kace leaned over, so he was so close to her. Hope could even see his irises, a mixture of beautiful shades of blue and silver.

"Of course, I can't do that…" Hope felt muddleheaded as her voice turned hoarser. "He is very good to me."

"Do you like him?"

"Huh?"

"Did he kiss you?"
