The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 498 - I WANT TO KILL HIS MATE

"Kace…" she wanted to say something else, but the words wouldn\'t seem to form. She was staring at four long and deep wounds, which tore Kace\'s skin.

Her mind couldn\'t comprehend how Kace didn\'t show any reaction or slightest sign that he was in pain when he had these wounds on his back.

Hope even didn\'t realize when she started to sob and tear after tear fell on her cheeks as her body trembling in fear.

Seeing Hope was crying uncontrollably, Kace immediately put his shirt on and pulled her into his arms, caressing her back while saying something to make her stop worrying about him.

"I am alright, this is not hurt. You don\'t need to cry." But, his attempt failed miserably when Hope chose to ignore his words and cried harder. "Don\'t cry, don\'t cry… I am okay, I will take care of it, the wound will disappear in no time." Kace blurted out everything he thought could stop Hope from crying.

And again, Hope proved him wrong to even make this attempt. She sob- screamed on the top of her lungs, as if saying she didn\'t believe him and he should stop talking that way to her.

In the end, Kace could only pat her back, praying to the moon goddess so his little mate could be a little calmer. At this point, there was no point in making Hope stopped crying, Lana and Serefina must have heard it.

It took longer time for Hope to catch her breath and stopped crying, by the time her tears stopped falling, her eyes was swollen and red. She clutched onto Kace\'s neck tighter and wetted his clothes, yet Kace didn\'t mind it a little bit.

He kept caressing her back, providing the comfort that she needed. This was the first time for Hope to see Kace was in great injuries and this shocked her.

Knowing it from Lana and seeing it by herself was completely different.

"Is… Is that hurt?" Hope rubbed her swollen eyes harshly to stop herself from crying, she stared at Kace\'s face in blurry vision

"This is not hurt anymore." Kace wiped away her tears and kissed her temple.

"Lie." Hope pouted her lips, glaring. How could such injuries not hurt?

"I am not lie." Kace shook his head. "Sometime it hurts, but now I am fine." He gave her a reassuring smile.

"You have to treat those wounds." Hope choked in her words.

"I will, of course I will." Kace pulled away a loose strand of Hope\'s hair from her face. She looked very adorable even after that breakdown.

"Lana said… she could help you." Hope didn\'t want to beat around the bush. How she could take Kace\'s blood, which flowing from his heart without him knowing it? That was impossible.

Only if she had Serefina\'s magic, maybe she could do that. Thus, the best way to settle this, was to talk directly to him.

"She needs your blood." Hope continued after she wiped away her annoying tears that kept falling on her cheeks. "The blood from your heart."

Kace sighed. He should have known that this would happen, once Lana couldn\'t get it by herself, she would use another way.

"Hope…" Kace was about to talk, but Hope knew it would be a refusal, thus she cut him off.

"What happened between you and Lana?" Hope frowned, "Why are you two acting strange lately?" She was aware about it.

"I will talk to Lana about this." Kace relented.

==============

"Are you going to the red river city to meet Kace\'s brother?" Lana didn\'t even knock the door when she entered Serefina\'s room.

Actually there was no need for that as they were living with magical creatures who would know every move in this house.

Yet, the witch still got annoyed by this.

"How many time should I tell you to knock first." Serefina threw a dagger look to Lana, who was standing in the doorway.

"When will you leave?" Lana ignored her protest and stepped inside the bedroom, leaning her body against the small table near the door.

"Today, tonight." Serefina shifted her attention to the view from her bedroom window.

There was a silence when both women didn\'t talk. They were busy with their own thought.

Four minutes passed and Serefina was the one who broke the silence. "I see you used Hope to convince Kace."

"There is no other way to make him do it voluntarily," Lana admitted. "Serefina…" She called her hesitantly.

"Hm?"

"How do you feel when you find out Jedrek will have a mate?" Lana asked after a few moment of hesitation.

"How I feel?" There was a small furrow on her perfect brows when she heard this, though her eyes glued to the view behind the window glass. "I feel exactly what you feel now."

It was ironic to say the least that the two of them had a similar fate. This was the only thing that they share with each other and the only topic they could talk without raising their vocal cords.

"I want to kill whoever will be Jedrek\'s mate, tearing her body and drank her blood." A sinister smirk appeared on Serefina\'s lips when she imagined that, but there was a sharp pain, which tugged her heart whenever she mentioned his name. "Kill the woman who destined to live her life with him. I know you want to do that too to Hope."

"No! I…" Lana raised her head abruptly, but her words failed her, as she couldn\'t find a proper rebuttal.

Serefina ignored that as she continued. "But, thinking about the agony he will endure because of it, made me stop. Just like you."
