The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 446 - THIRTEEN YEARS OLD (10)

Kace sneered while he folded his thick arms in front of his chest, glaring at the Gamma sternly as if he just asked something that totally wrong. "Do you think I am here to meet him?"

Calleb smiled harmlessly, he was that kind of man who would always be smiling regardless of the situation. "My apologize, but this is Alpha Torak's territory. I think, at least, you wanted to say 'hi' to your brother."

"Say 'hi' to him from me." Kace waved his hand toward Calleb and his blood red eyes gradually turned into its initial ocean blue. "I think with bunch of wolves that you bring here, you can still manage to look for the devil." Kace nodded at the rest of the shifter behind Calleb who were still in their beast form, showing their neck to the royal family member.

Calleb rubbed his chin, "I think you know it is impossible for us to track her since she had vanished."

"Whatever." Kace answered nonchalantly. "Don't bother to report this to Torak, I will be on my way out of this city after I am done to take care of my friend."

"You know that I couldn't do that, I will have to report everything that happened here to my Alpha." Calleb flashed an apologetic smile, yet it didn't reach his eyes.

Afterward, he tilted his head toward the direction of the brown wolf, but his main focus wasn't on that creature, because he could smell it.

"You befriend with human?" Calleb's smile fell as he frowned and asked Kace.

"That is none of your business." Once again, the color of his eyes changed into dark one, the harsh tone in his voice made a few werewolves among the crowd with lower rank whimpered.

Kace wasn't an Alpha of some pack, but he was still the royal family of the Lycantrhopes.

Seeing Kace was showing his temper, Calleb tried to pacify the angry lycan. "I am sorry for my rude comment, but is there any way that I could help you with?"

Hope was slightly surprised by how polite that lycan treated Kace, despite the fact they were in their territory.

Based on what she knew, Lycans and other shifters, they were very authoritarian towards their territory and Kace was in theirs.

However, it seemed this fact didn't bother them, not to mention they offered their help too.

"Sure. I need to go to hospital to check on my friend injuries, so I will need a car." Kace flashed the Gamma with his lazy smirk. "Don't worry, I will leave it once I get out of this city."

"Sure." Calleb flashed him a boyish smile as he gestured to the rest of his kind to retreat. "If there is nothing else that I could do, I will take my leave. The Alpha would love to know what is happening here."

With the mentioned of Torak, Kace didn't bother to respond. "You can leave now." he waved his hand impatiently.

"Farewell Kace Donovan." Calleb gave him a slight nod before he retreated and joined his pack member.

Once they were gone, the yard turned quite, but the power was still not fixed, thus darkness still canopied the entire area.

Kace's gaze turned toward the brown wolf as she stepped aside to reveal a young girl, who was supporting herself against the wall.

Upon seeing Kace was walking toward her, Hope became nervous and wanted so bad to bury her face on the brown fur of Lana's wolf.

Hope dropped her head as suddenly she took interest on her own feet until a pair of shoes appeared in her line of sight, Kace's shoes.

Kace took a deep breath as he could smell a strong scent of blood from Hope, a deep frown appeared on his forehead while his eyes traced along her small figure and stopped on her blood soaked h.i.p.s.

The moment Kace squatted down in front of her, Hope was startled and attempted to move away, but his strong hand held her to stop her from moving.

"Don't move." Kace grumbled.

Hope flinched by how smooth his words, she expected him to scold her or at least snapped at her, yet there was only concern laced in his grumble.

"Is it hurt?" Kace raised his head to meet Hope's eyes, which had filled with tears that was about to stream on her cheeks. "That hurt?"

Hope gulped down her sob. It wasn't the pain on her h.i.p.s that made her wanted to cry by the gentleness in his voice that made her eyes watery. historical

"Come. Don't cry." Kace stood up and carefully carried Hope in his arms as easy as she weight nothing. Probably for Kace that was true. "I am sorry for coming late."

Kace meant it when he apologized for the mistake that Hope had created.

For some reason, Hope felt her chest caved in and the feeling of regrets flooded her entire body, she sobbed on the crook of Kace's shoulder while he walked toward the exit gate that she couldn't find it.

"Don't cry, we will go to the hospital and they will take care of you." Kace kissed her forehead, hugged her even tighter against his chest. There was nothing that Kace wanted now except for Hope to not feel any pain.

"I thought you will be angry at me…" Hope said between her sobs, barely a whisper.

Kace sighed deeply. "I am not angry at you, I am worried." He stared at Hope for a while before she looked away and buried her face again. "You don't know how worried I was…"

Kace almost lost himself when he couldn't find Hope and the faint scent of her suddenly vanished when he was right in front of this house, as if there was some magic that intervened with his search.

His heart almost burst with anger when he caught the scent of her blood that indicating that she was injured.

"You almost make my heart stop beating, girl…" Kace said softly.
