The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 447 - THIRTEEN YEARS OLD (11)

"You spoil her too much!" Serfina's angry voice boomed inside the hospital ward, where Hope was laying unconscious after she got stitches on her h.i.p.s.

"Lower your voice." Kace shot her a warning look. "She is sleeping now!"

Serefina gritted her teeth as she glanced at Hope on the hospital bed, though her voice was not as loud as before, but the anger that laced in her tone didn't dissipate.

"If she keeps doing this in the future, I will be the one who discipline her." Serefina lashed out and stormed out of the room. historical

The witch just came from Sebastian's house, where she had to 'take care' of the mess that Hope had created. Of course she wasn't happy at all when she heard about this and too livid to stay in the same room with Kace and his teenage mate.

Meanwhile, Lana was not there, like usual, she would stay away from Kace whenever he was with Hope.

Kace sighed deeply when Serefina was no longer inside the room, he then sat down on the seat beside Hope's bed and caressed her cheek.

"She is gone, you can wake up now." He said softly. Kace visibly could see that Hope slightly flinched. "I know you are already awake."

Fluttering her lashes that akin to the wings of butterfly, Hope opened her eyes and stared at Kace sheepishly, before she dropped her gaze and took a sudden interest with her fingers.

"I am sorry that I cause you so much problem." Hope murmured, barely a whisper, yet Kace could hear it nonetheless.

"Now you know why we are not allowing you to go out alone?" Kace's expression turned stern along with her voice and the moment he retracted his hand, he could see that Hope slightly flinched again. "Because it is too dangerous for you."

"I know and I am sorry." Hope bit her bottom lips. "I was just upset, but I will not do that again." most teenager would say something like that to appease their angry parents.

"What makes you upset?" Kace softened his feature when he saw how sullen Hope's expression now, apparently the restriction from them had upset her.

"I can not hang around with my friend just like the other teenager." Hope pouted and sulked upon hearing Kace's question.

Kace knew regardless the danger that lurked around her, Hope was still teenager and it was their mistake to not explain it to her properly about what was going on with their life, with her life.

At that time there was a nurse who came inside the room. She gave the best smile that she could muster toward Kace and pleasantries words before she injected something inside Hope's IV drips tube.

After she gave one or two advises for Hope to take a rest and everything would be better tomorrow, she left the room, leaving only Kace and Hope alone again.

"What is that creature that came after me?" Hope stared at Kace timidly, after she was sure that the man before her eyes wasn't angry and didn't pull that scary look anymore, her gaze became firm and demanded an answer.

"Beelzebub. The devil, or you can call her Gluttony." Kace sighed, it seemed the time for him to explain everything to Hope was due.

Maybe not now because of her condition, but it would happen in the near future. Serefina had been fussy over this matter.

The witch wanted Hope to know it all, yet at that time Kace still thought he could prevent to overstress Hope regarding this matter.

However, after tonight attack, he knew that he owed her explanation.

"She is the bad guy, right?" Hope moved to find comfortable position as she laid on the side of her unharmed body.

Kace readjusted the quilt around her.

"Have all of you been keeping me safe from her?" Hope yawned, apparently the medicine that had been injected on her drips started to kick in.

"She included." Kace nodded, caressed her head and made Hope's eyes became heavy because of the tickles feeling every time Kace touched her, yet she refused to fall asleep, no when Kace was willing to answer her questions that had been rummaging her head for years.

"How many creatures are after me?" Hope asked, fluttering her lashes and biting her lips to prevent her from yawning.

Kace looked at the white ceiling, high above them before those beautiful ocean blue eyes stared at Hope once again. "There are many."

Hope frowned. "Is that the reason why you always insist on not leaving me alone?"

"Yes, little angel." Kace nodded, half of it was true.

"That creature was injured when she touched my blood." Hope informed Kace. "Maybe we can fight her. You know, like Bonnie and Clyde…"

It seemed the medicine had clouded her mind now.

Kace chuckled. "Sleep baby girl."

"No, I have more questions to ask." Hope frowned, trying to fight the urge to just close her eyes and let the darkness took over.

"You can ask me later." Kace persuaded.

But, Hope didn't listen to him. "The boy named Aidan was possessed by that creature." She yawned. "Is he died? I touched him with my blood and his face was charred." She frowned when the image jumped in the front of her mind.

"He is fine, slightly disfigured, but fine." Upon seeing the frown didn't not disappear from Hope's eyebrows, Kace added. "His family wealthy enough to get him plastic surgery."

This time Hope let out a soft chuckled that mixed with her another yawns. "How about my other friend?"

Kace didn't answer immediately, he caressed her cheek and erupted the spark between them. Hope likes it. "Serefina had their memories erased about this tonight event and your friends had been sent home."

"Hm." Hope mumbled. "Kace?"

"Yes?"

"What are you?" Hope's voice was barely a whisper this time. "Are you like my guardian angel?"

Kace smiled, "Kind of." It was the other way actually.

"Hm…" Hope hummed before her breathing turned even and Kace kissed her forehead.

"Sleep my angel."
