489: DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!

DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!

Lana didn't know what got into her when she circled her arms around Kace's torso and rested her forehead against his back.0

"I am worried about you…" she heard herself whispering against Kace's skin and the body in her arms stilled all of a sudden.

Lana was worried about Kace and that was the truth. This was a genuine feeling that she felt for him for over seventeen years now.

Regardless of her efforts to avoid him or her futile attempts to ignore her own feelings, the affection that Lana had for Kace was honest.

She knew how much Kace loved Hope because of the mate bond between them and Lana could see the little girl had developed the same feeling for this lycan.

But, if the war happened and Kace lost his mate, how could he cope up with the pain?

It was pathetic that Lana had to repeat the same story as the witch. Just like Serefina, she loved someone who didn't belong to her.

Lana knew, Serefina's unspoken intention for giving her many tasks that required her to be away from Kace, especially during his visit.

All this time, she just accepted it. Lana thought she would forget about this feeling, that this feeling was only a fleeting moment of affection, gratefulness because Kace had saved her life.

But, seeing Kace being in pain and the horrible wounds on his back, Lana couldn't help herself, she wanted to be near him, as close as possible.

The feeling of his warm skin against hers only lasted for a moment before all of that disappeared and a deep growl rang in her ears.

Lana raised her head only to meet the dark eyes of the beast under Kace's human skin. His body was shaking, his beast was fighting his human side to take control, to teach the werewolf in front of his eyes a lesson for touching him in an improper way.

"Don't ever f*cking do that again!" Kace's eyes flickered from black to red, as his blood boiled in his veins. He spoke through gritted teeth and was having a hard time controlling his beast.

Even though the monster inside of him have weakened, but that didn't mean the human side of Kace could simply accept the action that Lana had just took.

It was outrageous!

Lana gulped down hard. Her lips parted but she failed to produce any sound or explanation, which Kace wouldn't want to hear now. He had heard enough of Lana's rumbling for tonight and he didn't want more of that.

Very quickly, Kace took his clothes and walked away from that house with anger radiating in every step that he took.

Leaving Lana still in a daze.

It happened very fast and the moment she realized what she had done, she found herself alone on that terrace. A dry smile tugged the corners of her lips up slightly, knowing she would be in great trouble now.

============== 

Hope scribbled away something on her book while listening to Lana's explanation on today's topic. Her monotonous voice echoed through the whole room which made a few students feel so bored until they decided to fall asleep during her class.

Hope knew that Lana was aware about that, but like usual, she didn't give a d*mn about the way how she taught her students.

After all, she was here not because she wanted to be here. It was just because she couldn't refuse the witch and was tied down with a vow to Kace.

About the last case, Hope was slightly agitated. Why should both of them have to pledgethat kind of vow? She couldn't comprehend it.

No, her jealousy couldn't understand it.

Hope pouted and continued to scribble something on her book until Ian, who was sitting next to her, nudged her arm.

"What?" Hope hissed as she turned around to see Ian nodding his head toward the window beside her.

"Look." Ian spoke in low voice. "That woman has been looking in your direction since ten minutes ago."

Hope narrowed her eyes at the figure standing across the school gate. She saw a woman who was wearing a brown floppy hat with a pair of black sunglasses that covered half of her face, but from the way she angled her head, Hope agreed with Ian that the woman was indeed looking in her direction.

"I have never seen that woman…" Hope frowned and returned her focus to her book. "Maybe she is looking at someone else and not me."

"Impossible." Ian disagreed with Hope's statement readily, his hazel eyes still fixed on the woman's figure. "She is not a human, you know."

Hope whipped her head around to observe the woman again, but she couldn't pinpoint anything about her that could make Ian say she wasn't a human.

"She looks human for me." Hope shrugged, but her eyes were still on the woman with a floppy hat.

A yellow long dress and a black boats sling bag, fluttering blonde hair behind her back, nothing was unusual and Hope was too lazy to figure out what that woman was.

She had been seeing those creatures for years and now she was at a point, she didn't want to pay any extra attention to them.

"It is hard to say, but my instincts tell me otherwise…" Ian plopped down on his seat again and followed the rest of Lana's boring explanation.

When the bell rang and it was time for another teacher's lesson, Lana repeated her lines of 'goodbye' before she gave some tasks that Hope was very sure, she would never really care enough to check.

Afterward, Lana's tall body disappeared behind the door.

"Hope, Ms. Rellin left her book, why don't you give it back to her?" Celline approached Hope while giving her the book that Lana had left behind.

"Alright," Hope answered lightly. She knew most of the students didn't want to be near Lana because of her dark aura, which was like an invisible sign that was telling people to stay away from her.

Hope stood up, she didn't mind giving Lana the book back. Maybe she could catch a glimpse of Kace's face in the teacher's room.
