The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 423 - FIVE YEARS OLD

"So, where will you go next?" Kace was braiding Hope's hair skillfully while the little girl was playing with her white wolf doll and another doll that resemble her; long black hair, fair skin and eyes that were as beautiful as black tourmaline stone.

"Red river city." Serefina didn't shift her attention from the book that she was reading, flipping through the pages, she has been looking for something from that odd huge book, which looked so old.

"What?" Kace snapped his head and gave Serefina a questioning look that demanded for answer. "That is Torak's territory."

"Exactly." Serefina murmured, still not taking away her eyes from the book on her laps.

"No way!" Kace objected, his voice a little bit harsh and made Hope turned her head curiously, but when she saw he was smiling sweetly at her, the little girl resumed playing with her dolls again.

Yet, the moment Hope didn't see it, Kace's expression turned rigid once again.

"Why do you want to live in his territory?!" Kace hissed, trying to not raise his tone and startled Hope. "Why do you always take risks?!"

"Why? Torak is not Jedrek, he didn't give an order to hunt down your mate." Serefina answered casually as she leaned her back against the backrest of the sofa.

"Yes." That was true but, "we don't know if he wants a mate or not." Kace was trying to make his point across. "He has never shown any interest to find his mate and when he knows that Jedrek was crazy enough to issue an order to finish the resurrected of the guardian angel, he did nothing."

"But that also doesn't mean he agrees." Serefina countered.

"So, do you want to gamble in this?" Kace could feel that this conversation would go nowhere except another complicated discussion.

"I always win the bet." Serefina shrugged, glancing at Kace's direction before she resumed perusing her book.

"Tell me why do you insist to go to his territory?" Actually, rather than Jedrek, Kace would choose to deal with Torak. At least his second brother wasn't as crazy as the first one.

"The same reason why I chose this place five years ago." Serefina frowned because she couldn't find whatever she was searching on her book.

Kace tied the end of the braid of Hope's hair and kissed her head as the girl touched her braided hair and a satisfied smile appeared on her lips before she resumed to play again.

"Do you think Torak will not able to find you?" Kace questioned her.

"Why he has to care about me? I will be his last priority." Serefina said in matter of fact tone.

Torak was busy with his pack and his company, moreover Serefina and Torak couldn't be said was in good terms, thus there was no reason for him to be alarmed by the witch visit.

However, it didn't mean that Serefina would come knocking on his territory with open arms and revealed herself. Of course, she wouldn't do that.

Serefina would stay in his territory without being noticed.

"What if…" Kace was about to retort the witch's statement when she cut him off icily and closed her book with irritation in her eyes.

"Look!" Serefina glared at Kace. "I was the one who found her. I care about her being just like you do. do you think I will let her die after what I had been through to find her?"

Well, though Serefina neglected Hope thoroughly and completely let Lana to take care of the little girl, but she would always ensure her safety.

"Don't be ridiculous, pup." Serefina sneered and Kace growled at her. "Moreover, Jedrek will be more careful in his brother's territory, since both of them are very territorial."

Despite Kace wasn't one hundred percent agreed with Serefina's idea, he disagreed with most of her idea though, but what she said was true.

"She needs to go to school also." Serefina added.

There was only one school in this area and Serefina didn't want Hope's presence drew unnecessary attention from people from northern coven.

It was fine as long as she was inside this house, but out there, there would be more than a handful witches and vampires that would start to realize about her original.

Being in Torak's territory would be a better choice for now.

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

Kace put Hope on her bed after the little girl was tired enough chasing after his beast's tail. It was her favorite. She would rub her face again his soft fur and giggled when it tickled her skin.

The beast purred in delight when he felt his mate was happy.

Kace tucked the blanket until her chin, put the wolf doll beside her and made sure the temperature in her room wasn't too cool or hot, so she could sleep comfortably. He brushed away a lock of her hair and caressed her chubby cheeks.

Kace was sure, he could stay all night just looking at her. Hope's sleeping face was very serene that made Kace forgot all of his trouble.

However, he had to go and when the night was getting dark, he walked out of Hope's bedroom and walked inside his car before driving away from that house.

There was no need to notify anyone about his leaving, because Serefina would know it the moment he stepped away from the foyer.

However, the thing that Kace didn't know was that a certain someone was staring at the car that he drove away.

Lana was standing behind the window in the other room next to the leaving room, her brown eyes looked complicated.

"Stop it."

Lana nearly jumped in scared when all of sudden Serefina's voice rang from behind her back.

"What?!" She snapped at the witch as she turned her body to face her, whether it was because she felt guilty or surprised that caused her strong reaction.

"I have been there and felt that. So, my gentle reminder for you; stop it."

"I don't know what you are talking about."

"Of course you know."
