The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 696 - HIS GROUCHY BROTHER

"You," Lydia said while pointing her finger toward Raine. "Quickly get up and go outside before something really bad happens."

"Huh?" Raine blinked her eyes rapidly to get her focus. "What happened?"

"Your mate is out there fighting Kace," Lydia spoke hastily, when she finished her words they could hear vicious growls and snarls from outside.

Without second thought, both Raine and Hope stormed out of the tent to appease their mate.

In the clearing, there were many people, centaurs and shifters had gathered to see the two white lycans circled each other, baring their sharp- razor fangs.

It seemed like the Donovan\'s reunion was not the warm one, definitely without any affection. Instead of hugging each other they chose to claw the other brother\'s face.

[No, stop!] Raine cried through the mind- link to reach Torak. She hoped the lycan could hear her.

Meanwhile, Hope rushed straight toward Kace\'s beast, though both white Lycan had the same color and size, but somehow they could recognize their own mate.

"No, Kace! Stop it!" Hope blocked the white beast and he snarled viciously at his mate.

Hope\'s position now, was an easy target if Torak chose to attack her, therefore the anger coursed through his veins because of Hope reckless moves.

However, at the same time Raine did the same, she hugged the beast tightly and buried her face in his soft white fur. "I am all right, I am fine," she said hastily.

Both of the beasts still snarled at each other, but it didn\'t take a long time before they calmed down under their mate consolation.

Hope hugged Kace\'s beast and tried to make him back down, but he shook his head and locked his black eyes on his brother, as Torak did the same. No one wanted to back down.

"STOP IT BOTH OF YOU!" Serefina\'s voice boomed in the clearing. The witch stopped running and panted heavily when she reached them. "Shift back will you?! And stop snarling at each other!" Serefina snapped to the two angry beasts.

However, it seemed her warning only incurred their wrath even further as the two beasts roared at her now.

At least, they were on the same page when it came to the witch.

"Oh, please!" Serefina exasperated. "If you want to kill each other, do it later! We have another important problem to be discussed!"

The two beasts did not appreciate Serefina\'s tone as they growled menacingly at her again. If it was not because of their mates, clinging onto their neck, they would have charged toward Serefina and there would be another battle that happened this morning.

However, Serefina had known both of them well enough to lose her courage upon their snarls and growls.

Hence, without fear, she pointed Torak with her long finger, as she spoke sternly. "Stop it. You can see yourself that Raine is safe and sound, there is nothing to be hostile!"

And then Serefina shifted her attention toward Kace. "And you! How dare you ran away from me and took Hope with you! Shift back now! I have dozen things to talk to you!"

Yet, just like any other day, no matter how angry Serefina and stubborn she was, the two lycans were on different level when it concerned their mates.

"Torak, please... I am fine, they did not do anything to me. I finally met the other guardian angel, don\'t you feel happy for me?" Raine coaxed her mate while running her fingers around his ear, she knew the beast loved this.

In the other side, Hope did the same. She kissed Kace\'s snout and implored with her big bright eyes.

It took another agitating minute for both Donovan to relent and finally shifted back to their human form, but the tension was still in the air.

Torak immediately checked on Raine and when he was sure she was fine, only then he gave his brother his attention.

Meanwhile, Kace pushed Hope behind his back when he reciprocated Torak\'s glare.

"Do you think you can come and wreck some havoc here?!" Kace snapped at his brother. "You have got your mate, now go!"

Torak narrowed his eyes, did not appreciate Kace\'s tone at all.

"Wreck some havoc, huh?" Torak scoffed, he placed his arm around Raine\'s waist protectively. "You dare to say something like that when it was you who attacked me first?"

It was true.

As soon as Kace smelled Torak\'s scent, his beast came to the surface and felt the urgency to drag Torak out of there. He did not want his brother to be here. It was an instinct and Kace let his beast to take control.

Therefore, Torak did not have choice, but to fight him back.

It was not Torak\'s intention to create such a ruckus, yet if Kace wanted to make things became difficult, he was more than welcome to give it to him.

Amidst the tension, there was sound of hooves that tapped on the ground and the leader of the centaur stepped forward.

"Alpha Torak," Chiron greeted Torak as he bowed his head respectfully.

Torak looked at the Centaur, the creature that was believed had been extinct, yet there they were. Alive and well.

"Chiron," Torak mentioned his name curtly.

He knew Chiron, though he was not there when Kace failed to meet Jedrek\'s expectation and had to go to his place to eradicate those centaurs\' mates and their offspring, himself.

"Kace, come here," Torak called to his brother. "We need to talk."

"Do you think you can order me around?" Kace grunted.

"Of course," Torak answered without hesitation and when he watched Kace was about to retort, he added. "I am your older brother."

Kace groaned. "But, it doesn\'t mean I will follow you."

"Oh, you will." Torak crossed his arms while staring at his grouchy brother.
