474: THIS GIRL!

THIS GIRL!

Neck was a sensitive spot for werewolves and Lycans. Their enemy could kill them the moment they got a hold of their neck. They could snap or slit their neck and they wouldn't even be given a chance to heal.0

Therefore, after so many years of living in pursuit by Jedrek's people and avoiding many creatures that wanted him dead, Kace wasn't used to lower his guard even when he was sleeping.

Hope's touch on his face was something that his subconscious didn't read as a threat, but when she touched Kace's neck, it was another thing entirely.

"Are you hurt?" Kace's brows furrowed as he rubbed the place where Hope touched before. "Does it hurt?"

"A little bit." Hope murmured and let Kace ease the pain by rubbing her head gently. They were so close.

While Kace's focus was on Hope's head, Hope's focus was on how fragrant he smelled.

"I am sorry Hope." Kace's brows creased in concern.

"It's alright." It did hurt, after all her head hit the concrete floor so suddenly, but it was still bearable.

"Do we need to go to the hospital?" Kace stared at the girl in front of him, but Hope's grimacing expression broke into a small laugh.

"It is nothing serious, why do we need to go to the hospital? They will laugh at me." Hope beamed with a big smile while staring at Kace as if saying that his idea was ridiculous.

However, Kace didn't laugh with her. He couldn't find anything about that funny. One wrong move and he was not in his right mind in time, Hope could be dead.

Kace shuddered at that thought.

"I am sorry Hope." He apologized very sincerely and this left Hope a little bit puzzled.

She had never seen Kace like this before, "What happened to you? I am okay." Hope grinned to lighten Kace's mood. "Rather than my head, I am more concerned with my class. I think I am late. If I get yelled at, then it's your fault." Hope pouted.

"Whose class?" Kace sighed in relief when he saw that Hope was fine.

"Ms. Jessica's."

"Don't worry." Kace smiled and rubbed her head as he stood up and extended a hand to help Hope up. "I will walk you to your class."

"What will you do?" Hope received his helping hand and stood up.

"I will use my charm." Kace gave the girl his devilish smirk that made Hope roll her eyes and laugh.

"What happened to your neck?" Hope spotted a small scar on his neck that she was about to touch earlier. "Is that a wound? How did you get that?"

"This?" Kace touched his neck and rubbed it. "From fighting."

"Hope!"

Hope was waiting for Ethan and Rossie at the entrance gates when Oliver called her and this automatically made Ian, beside her, threw a disgusting look at the boy.

"Why don't you break up with him? You began dating him just because you were upset with Kace, right?" Ian hissed at Hope while staring daggers at Oliver, who was coming closer to them.

"I can't break up with him out of the blue." Hope grimaced. This time, this was her fault.

"Just say it. Simple." Ian rolled his eyes.

"I will." Hope replied before Oliver stopped in front of her. "Hi."

"Hope, are you alright? What did Mr. Wolfe do to you?" Oliver looked at her with concern.

The corners of Hope's lips twitched slightly when she heard that name. Kace was being really tacky by choosing that name as his last name.

When Hope asked about that, he said it was cute. Really, a grown up man like Kace, who was able to turn into a beast was talking about something cute, and that was beyond hilarious.

"I am alright, he did nothing. He just asked me to help him count the inventories in the indoor basketball court." Hope replied truthfully, taking a glance at Ian, who seemed bored.

"I am glad." Oliver sighed in relief and this made Ian open his mouth to throw one or two of his opinions like usual, but he swallowed it after he caught Hope's angry stare.

"Are you going home?" Hope asked him. Usually, Oliver practiced soccer after school.

"Yes, there is no practice for today." Oliver then stared at her expectantly. "Walk home with me?"

Hope contemplated for a while before nodding. "Sure."

"Hope, your mother will be very angry at you if she sees you with him." Ian immediately rejected the idea.

"Excuse me? Who are you to forbid her from going home with me?" Oliver narrowed his eyes at Ian. This guy was being nosy in his relationship with Hope from the very beginning.

"She is my twin sister." Ian blurted out nonsense.

"Alright, enough." Hope waved her hand at both of them. "I will walk home with him, bye Ian."

With that, before more arguments could break out, Hope pulled Oliver's arm and waved Ian a goodbye.

On the other hand, Ian could only watch both of them disappear among the crowd of students. But, that was the last thing that he had to worry about.

Because at this time, he caught 'his' scent, coming closer toward him along with his other two siblings. As if on cue, Kace's figure appeared before his eyes when Ian turned his body.

Ethan and Rossie were walking slightly ahead of Kace while he set his eyes on Ian.

"Where is Hope, the two of them said she is waiting here with you." Kace's eyes scanned his surroundings, he caught her scent, but it was faint, meaning she had left just before he came.

"She is… going home." Ian gulped, exchanging a look with Ethan, who asked him silently about Hope too.

Kace squinted his eyes. "She is going home alone?" He knew Hope would usually go home with the siblings, yet the three of them were still here.

"No, she is going home with… Oliver." Ian grimaced as he watched Kace's expression turning unsightly.

"This girl…" Kace let out a low growl.
