The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 458 - FOURTEEN YEARS OLD (9)

"What are you talking about?" Ian whispered back at her. "What? Do you have some rare disease or something?"

Hope didn't hear that, as she was busy to cover her face and whined in low voice.

After a couple of attempts to ask Hope about what she was talking about and got no response, Ian gave up and waited for another fifteen minutes before the bell rang.

Hope looked lethargic when she put back her things inside her backpack and followed Ian out of the classroom to meet with his other two siblings.

"Hey, are you all right? You look terrible." Rossie commented when she met Hope's unsightly expression.

"I feel terrible." Hope nodded at the younger sibling as they walked out of the school building.

Ussualy, Lana's car had been waiting for Hope at the entrance of the gate and she would part way with the siblings before she reached there, because Hope didn't want Lana to know about the three of them.

Knowing how Serefina and Kace, Hope was pretty sure, they wouldn't agree if she befriended with other creatures, though Lana and Kace basically rogue as well, yet the title as a rogue wasn't a good term in their world, apparently.

However, Hope was preoccupied by her own shameful memories and didn't realize it, instead of Lana, it was Kace who picked her up and now he was walking toward her direction.

Hope just realized it, when she heard a sound, like a snarl, from Ethan. However, in the next second his snarl became a whimper.

Hope whipped her head to see what was going on with Ethan, only to see Ethan, Ian and Rossie were having this dreadful expression etched on their face, as if they were seeing their nightmare in this broad daylight.

"What happened?" Hope blinked her eyes in confusion when Rossie moved away from her and hid behind Ethan's back. "What are you afraid of?"

Hope caught Ian's eyes and he signaled her to look ahead and she did. Her line of sight ended on the figure of Kace, who was walking closer toward them.

As a werewolf, the three siblings could sense greater predator, that was why they acted that way the moment their eyes fell on Kace.

Not to mention Kace's strong presence was akin to the feeling of a beggar met their king. Helpless and was at lost. They were forced to submit before him. After all they were just pups.

"What are you doing here?" Hope snapped at Kace irritably. "Where is Lana?"

Rossie whimpered when she heard the way Hope talked to the man in such disrespectful way. She was afraid for her.

Last night when Kace asked her about who had told her about mate, Hope couldn't lie to Kace as he knew very well when she did it.

Who would have thought he would come to her school to meet with the siblings?

"She is out with Serefina." Kace answered without even spared Hope a glance as is blue ocean eyes fixed on the three pups in front of him. "So, this is your friends?"

Hope's body turned stiff, she stepped in front of Ian and Ethan who were shielding their little sister out of Kace's eyes.

"What? What do you want to do with my friend?" Hope became defensive. She still remembered how Serefina had wiped out all the memories of her friends about her.

Did they really expect her to live as a loner? Avoiding all social interactions? Not making any friends? Hope would breakdown if that was what they wanted from her.

Kace shifted his eyes from the siblings to his agitated little mate as he knew what was running inside her pretty little head.

"I will do nothing." Kace extended his hand and tousled her hair. "Relax."

All of the students, teachers and all the people around them set their eyes on the tall man who walked with such strong aura around him.

Their attention were captivated by him as he was a sight to behold. Kace's blue ocean eyes made them drawn in his charm.

Because Hope was used with Kace's presence, of course, she didn't know this kind of effect on the other people for Kace.

"So, why are you here?" Hope brushed aside his hand from her head as she fixed her messy hair, thanks to Kace.

"Pick you up of course." Kace shrugged his shoulder innocently, yet Hope knew this man was not genuine with his intention.

"Let's go home then." Hope grabbed his arms and was about to drag him away, but he didn't budge.

"This is your friends, right?" Kace smiled at Ian and Ethan who had turned very stiff by now as if they were a thief who was caught red handed with evidence. "Why don't invite them to our house? We can order pizza while watching a movie."

Hope stopped struggling to drag Kace away from there and, instead, looked at the man with curious gaze.

"What all of you say?" Kace smiled harmlessly, but it didn't stop them from shivering. "Hm?"

"Mm… we…" Ian stole a glance or two at Kace.

"Hm?" Kace raised an eyebrow. "I don't take a rejection very well."

"Kace!" Hope glared at him as she pinched at the big bad wolf. She remembered that she used to call him wolf when she was a child. "Don't threaten my friend!"

The pinch on his waist had no affect on him, Kace widened his eyes innocently. "I don't." then he turned his attention back toward the siblings. "Did I threaten you?"

"No." Ian and Ethan answered in unison, even before their mind could process it.

"See?" Kace spoke nonchalantly. "Let's go then."

Kace wrapped his arms around Hope's shoulder as he took his little mate away toward their car, which was parked right in front of the entrance gate.

"What do you want?" Hope hissed at Kace and watched the three followed them helplessly.

"Nothing." Kace grinned. "I just want to know your friends."
