The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 424 - SIX YEARS OLD

They moved three months ago after taking care of all the doc.u.ments that they needed to stay in that city. Especially doc.u.ments for Hope to enroll her in school.

"What am I doing here?" Kace was braiding Hope\'s hair while the little girl was eating her breakfast. "Of course to see her on the first day of her school, right baby?"

"Right!" Hope grinned at Kace excitedly. "Will I ride your wolf to school?"

Serefina shot Kace a dagger look when she heard that. Kace had recklessly showed the beast to Hope and now, he had to deal with it so the little girl wouldn\'t say anything.

"Baby, don\'t talk about wolf to other people, okay?" Kace ignored Serefina\'s warning glare. He knew what he had to do and Hope was big enough to understand this.

"But, why?" Hope tilted her head cutely, her long lashes fluttered like a butterfly and made Kace wanted to pinch her cheeks.

"Because this is a secret." Kace put his forefinger in front of his lips. "This is a secret between the two of us."

"But, why?" Hope wanted a detail explanation about why she couldn\'t tell anything about the white wolf. She wanted to show it to her new friends.

"Because…" Kace furrowed his eyebrows, trying to find a way to explain it to her. "Because if you tell anyone about the white wolf, then the white wolf doesn\'t want to play with Hope again."

Hope\'s face turned sad when she heard that, but of course, there would be another question that she wanted to know. "But, why?"

That single line of question was her favorite words recently. She had been asking about everything around her and would ask Lana or Serefina relentlessly.

And now that line of question started to give the lycan a headache, yet he still loved the way it sounded from her nonetheless.

"Because the white wolf is very shy and he doesn\'t want to befriend with other child." Kace wiped away dripping sauce from the corner of Hope\'s lips with his thumb.

"But, I am also a child." Hope was being critical now. "But, white wolf wants to play with me."

"Yes, because white wolf only like Hope. He doesn\'t like to play with other children." Kace was very patient when he talked to her. "Moreover, your friend will not be able to see the white wolf."

"But, why? I can see the white wolf." Hope\'s eyes grew big with this information and Kace chuckled by how cute she looked now.

"Because the white wolf belongs to Hope only, therefore, only Hope can see him, except from Serefina and Lana." Kace explained it softly.

"But, I want to show the white wolf to my new friend." She pouted her lips as her fingers playing with her pendant.

"I am sorry my dear, but white wolf doesn\'t want it." Kace looked apologetic. "Okay?"

Hope lowered her head, at first she was so happy when Kace came this morning, usually he would come after long time.

And while Kace away, Hope couldn\'t play with the white wolf.

"After you return from school, let\'s play with the white wolf shall we?" Kace persuaded the sullen Hope as he brushed his hands on her tender cheeks.

Though the gaze on her eyes were still upset, but she nodded anyway. "Okay."

"This is our secret, okay?" Kace asked again just to make sure his baby girl would slip a word about the wolf.

"Okay."

"Good girl, now finish your breakfast and I will drop you to your school." Kace kissed her forehead and stood up to face the annoying witch. "Let\'s talk somewhere."

Serefina rolled her eyes and let out an irritated sigh as she followed the lycan to the balcony.

"What is it now? Are you using your chance to meet her next year, that\'s why you are here?" Serefina didn\'t bother to hide the fact that she was annoyed by seeing Kace now.

"Stop that sarcastic comment, we have another important thing to deal with." Kace leaned his back against the rail.

"What? I have enough trouble already, don\'t you dare to add it on my plate." Serefina crossed her arms and glowered.

"This is already on your plate witch." Kace bit back. This would be their usual bickering if she was in her mood swing, which was almost every time. "Beelzebub has been looking for Hope since our encountered six years ago."

Gluttony was one of the seven devils. He wouldn\'t let go his prey once he set his eyes on it, especially children and women.

This past six years, Kace has been distracting Maximus about his whereabouts or Serefina and Hope, along with that, he was also chased after Beelzebub, yet she was so cunning and was hard to follow.

Serefina didn\'t look surprised when she heard that, it was indicating that she already knew it and it didn\'t surprised Kace either.

"What you will do about that?" Kace frowned.

Since they were in this different territory and away from the protection of the spells from the northern coven, it would be easier for the devil to track down his mate, the thought only managed to boil Kace\'s blood with anger.

"You could do nothing about it." Serefina shrugged her shoulder and was regarded a hard look by Kace.

"What do you mean we can\'t do anything about it?" Kace was beyond annoyed by the witch ignorance attitude.

"You can\'t destroy Gluttony just because you want to, she and the other devils are different entity." Serefina twirled her hair, which had already grown very long until it reached her waist. It was time to cut it. "Have you forgotten about the real reason why the guardian angels are being resurrected?"
