The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 628 - JUST YOU AND ME

Serefina must have lost her mind to think that Kace would welcome such a topic right now.

"You are talking about war with the demon, when not long ago, I almost lost my mate?" Kace\'s eyes hardened as his jaw clenched tightly. "You must be kidding me," Kace chuckled, but there was no humor in it.

Serefina\'s expression turned serious.Though her face was still pale from what she had gone through last night, the importance to make Kace understood their situation was much bigger than her suffering.

"You know the true purpose of the guardian angels being resurrected," Serefina\'s tone was as rigid as his. "Don\'t tell me you have forgotten it."

Kace took a step closer, so he could look into Serefina\'s lime green eyes directly, "But, I never said that I agree with that."

The difference in height between them, made Kace look both dominant and dangerous.Yet it didn\'t stop the witch from saying her part.

"You can\'t deny it. That is the purpose of her life." Serefina gritted her teeth. "She can\'t run from her fate, and neither can you!"

If the witch could add more, she was also in the same position. She didn\'t have a choice but to live this second life that was given to her. She had been pondering her choice back then.But even now, the answer was still the same. That if she could turn back time, she would choose this kind of life over again.

That\'s how pathetic she was. And the witch couldn\'t help but mocked herself.

But, before Kace could give her any response, Lana appeared on the corner, curiously intrigued by the conversation between the witch and Kace. Because she heard the way the two of them were talking to each other, but their voices were too low for her to comprehend their conversation.

"Everything is alright here?" Lana approached them, her eyes were staring back and forth between Serefina and Kace.

There was a brief silence, and an awkward moment when Kace and Serefina didn\'t even move, or avert their eyes from each other.

"Or, maybe I will go back later after both of you finish your staring contest," Lana spoke stiffly as she took a few steps back. "I will check on Hope."

"No need. I will do it," Kace said curtly. He moved away from Serefina, but before he could turn around and walked towards Hope\'s room, he ensured one more thing. "You said, you don\'t know how to improve Hope\'s condition, right?"

Serefina knitted her eyebrows, she didn\'t know what Kace wanted to say by asking that same questions over, and over again. "Yes."

Kace nodded slightly before he strode toward Hope\'s bedroom.

When it was only the two of them, Lana faced the witch. "What is it?" she crossed her arms in front of her chest as she stared at Serefina. "You provoke him again? In times like this?"

"I just corrected his way of thinking, and said what he should\'ve already known," Serefina didn\'t look sorry for what she said, but there was a flash of uneasiness in her eyes. There were tons of things that were bothering her.

"You know what? I don\'t understand you." Lana shook her head. "I feel like I want to curse for every statement that came out from your brilliant mind."

Serefina raised an eyebrow at her and spoke mockingly. "Thank you. But, you don\'t need to break a sweat for that."

Lana sighed. She had been dealing with Serefina for almost half of her life now.It was a fact that she grew up with her, under her care and order.But she still couldn\'t fully understand the witch.

"Maybe you can use a different approach next time Serefina, I know you meant well." Lana tilted her head. "You just let out your frustration to every single person that you met, trying to make them feel bad because you don\'t feel good about yourself. That\'s irritating and immature, especially for someone who has lived long enough like you."

Unexpectedly, Serefina chuckled. "So, should I pretend to be a good girl, and sneak around just to stare at the man that I have a crush with?" she directed her green lime eyes at Lana. "Like you did?"

Lana grinded her teeth, as she clenched her jaws, her face turned red because of Serefina\'s remark.

The witch knew.

"We have our own way to deal with these shitty feelings.Just because I don\'t do what you do, doesn\'t mean you are doing the right thing." Serefina spoke mockingly and she turned around to enter her room after saying her last pieces. "And I need you to go somewhere."

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

"I will go for a few days," Lana told Kace when she ran into him in the kitchen, before she left to carry out Serefina\'s orders.

"Hmm," Kace hummed when he made a glass of warm milk for Hope.

Lana hesitated, "I know sometimes Serefina is very annoying. Don\'t mind her words."

"Where is she?" Kace didn\'t bother with Lana\'s comforting words.

"She already left this afternoon." But, the witch sent her away in the middle of the night...

"I see," Kace replied, but then he didn\'t say anything more.

Seeing Kace was not in the mood to talk, Lana sighed. "Okay, I will go now."

"Be careful."

And then that was the last thing that Lana heard from him before she headed outside.

When Lana was no longer there, Kace walked towards Hope\'s room with a glass of warm milk in his hand.His expression was devoid from any emotion. He was too calm…

Kace opened the bedroom door, and a soft smile appeared on his lips when he watched Hope was awake.

"Hai, my little angel." Kace approached her, and kissed her temple, "How do you feel?"

"…Good," Hope mumbled weakly.

Kace then cradled her in his arms, as he helped her to drink the warm milk. "I want to take you somewhere—" there was a flash of determination in Kace\'s eyes. "—just you and me."
