The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 502 - FIREFLIES

The beast was as beautiful as the last time Hope remembered it, the big size wolf lowered its head and whimpered again when Hope stayed still and didn't take another steps to close the distance between them.

The beast closed its eyes and made a low noisy sound again, encouraging Hope to touch its big head.

Forgetting about her strange surroundings, Hope took another step closer toward the beast as its eyes opened and showed its beautiful ocean blue color, which slightly dimmed.

When Hope was close enough to the beast, she stretched out her hands to pat its head and feel the fluffy of its soft fur.

The beast made a soft satisfied sound as its nudged Hope's palm to stroke its head. The beast was like a docile big fluffy wolf until Hope's eyes caught a sight of its back.

There, Hope watched in horror when four lines gashes could be seen, the same wounds that Kace showed her the other day on his back. Hope was petrified.

In Kace's beast form and his white fur, the wounds were obtrusive. Only by seeing it, Hope could feel how much paint that Kace had to endure.

"What happened? You said, you will take care of the wound?" Hope's questions were heard as a soft whisper. "Why are you here?"

The beast closed its eyes and let Hope touched him as the girl before its eyes kneeled and hugged him. The warm tears from Hope's eyes fell on its fur as small sobs could be heard from her lips.

"Can you go back to your human form?" Hope asked, they couldn't communicate if Kace stayed in this form.

However the beast let out another soft whimper and Hope took that as a 'no'.

"Are you in pain?" Hope kept asking. She stretched out her hand further to touch the edge of the still- bleeding wound behind the beast's back.

The beast growled deeply with a warning tone when the tip of Hope's fingers grazed its fur near the wound and the beast's body became so stiff.

"I will not hurt you…" Hope's whispered to the beast's ear.

It sounded very ridiculous as Hope supposed to be the one who had to worry of getting hurt. With the beast's head on her shoulder, the big wolf could bite off her head within second and left her headless, killing her as easy as breathing.

But, of course Hope knew he wouldn't do that, thus she caressed where its wounds where…

"Why are you still hurt?" Hope mumbled to herself. "Where is Lana?"

Hope then realized her strange environment and let go of the beast as she scanned her surroundings, looking for Lana, but the girl was nowhere to be found.

"Where is Lana? Something happened to her?" panic laced in her voice when she stood up and looked around again, but still found nothing.

Hope rested her hand on the beast's head, caressing its soft fur as she felt the beast nuzzled against her touch.

However, another thing happened again at that time.

In the vast courtyard with a beautiful torch lit and a single tree with green leaves in every its every branches also the velvety grass, all of it suddenly fluttered as if there was a breeze of wind that blew them.

Hope didn't realize it at first, but when the light from the torched flickered and the sparks from its flames floated in the air, Hope realize one thing.

Every single particle in Hope's line of sight, gradually and slowly, turned into fireflies… the scenery before her eyes was so breathtaking and heart- stirring. Hope had never seen something as beautiful as this.

Millions of fireflies flew to one direction… soaring high into the sky toward the moon that shone brightly in the dark of the night.

Hope was flabbergasted as she was too drawn by the beauty of the light flickering from the fireflies before her eyes.

"What is this…?" her question was barely a whisper, but her hand that rested on the beast's head felt something was off…

It almost felt like the warm on her palm started to fade away just like the fireflies, which disappeared into the dark night.

Hope looked down and watched the beast's glimmered with the same light as the fireflies, its blue ocean eyes faded until they were the same color as its fur and, slowly, its lids dropped.

"No…" Hope choked in her own voice when her hands couldn't touch the beast's anymore.

The beast was still there, but its body turned translucent and couldn't be touched, it was now only a vague image of a big wolf with its head dropped to the ground.

Just like smoke, his image became blurry and with the blow of the wind, it disappeared…

Small gasps escaped Hope's lips, she quickly placing her hands over her mouth as her eyes became wider.

What was happening?!

Hope blinked her eyes to clear her vision, but in her fourth attempts everything went dark. She heard an ear- splitting scream from somewhere, but soon realized it came from her.

The problem was; Hope couldn't stop, not being able to see was something horrible to experience, not to mention the last thing that she witnessed.

"Hope! Hope!"

Someone called her name and shook her body, along with that the darkness disappeared as her eyes was infiltrated by the bright light.

"Hope! What happened?! Stop screaming!" Rossie's voice could be heard above Hope's head.

It took Hope another second to realize that it was a dream, a very horrible nightmare!

"Hope." Rossie's voice was filled with worried. "What happened? Nightmare?"

From the distance both of them could hear a few hurried steps before the door was forced to be opened by Sterling. A loud growl ruptured his throat as his red eyes scanned the room, looking for any threat.

"What happened!?" Sterling roared, behind him the twins and Sophia rushed into the room with worried expression. "What is happening here!?"
