The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 539 - YOU KNOW I AM RIGHT

Lidya's statement was like an insult for Abby and she should have known that the witch was indeed trying to insult her.

"Can't we go together with you?" Leon ignored Abby's displease, nothing went well whenever his little sister opened her mouth. "Is there a way for us to join your journey?"

"Do you think, I will waste my time talking to you here to do a bargain?" Lidya mocked Leon's attempt. "And for you lady," she directed her eyes at Abby. "Watch your mouth."

After saying her piece, Lidya stood up and walked away to join Lana and the twins' table, leaving Leon and Abby.

"Why are they protecting a human like her!? She is nothing but a burden!" Abby gritted her teeth, her expression turned unsightly, but she didn't dare to say it out loud. "What is so special about her?!"

"She is Kace's mate." Leon sighed deeply as he gulped down his drink. "That's what you get when you belittle someone else's mate." Leon didn't have any intention to defend his sister.

They had never been in good terms and Leon didn't want to fix it either. They were coming here together just because it was an order to attend the get-together in this Northern Coven realm.

"The Donovans don't have mate, they are cursed Lycans." Abby crossed her arms stubbornly.

Leon sneered as he rolled his eyes. "Whatever that could help you sleep at night."

Meanwhile, not so far from their table, a certain beast was in an argumentation with his little mate, who seemed very upset.

"Can't you give the control back to Kace!?" Hope stabbed her chicken b.r.e.a.s.t angrily, as if the poor chicken had committed a sinful action before it was grilled.

"But, I am Kace!" The beast growled. "We are the same!"

"No…" Hope wanted to cry. She had had enough with this beast and was fed up with the situation. "I don't care! I want to eat with my friend!"

"No, you eat with me!" the beast grabbed Hope's wrist and forced her to sit down again. "I want to eat with you!"

"You are annoying!" Hope hissed viciously at him.

"I just want to eat with my mate. What's wrong with that?" Kace pulled Hope's chair closer to him, so the girl couldn't move freely. "I have never eat with you, why don't you just finish this damn chicken peacefully?!"

"Why don't we eat with them, so I can stop complaining?!" Hope crossed her arms and leaned against the backrest chair, annoyed. "It's not like you have never eat with me before."

"I have not." Kace stared at Hope with his dark eyes and his expression was devoid from any emotion. "My human side had been suppressing me for more than decades."

There was a small frown between Hope's brows, but she still refused to look at him.

"You don't know how it feels, little one," Kace propped his elbow on the table and put his fist under his chin while tilting his head so he could see his little mate. "Being suppressed for decades, until my instinct became dull and what do I get? Wounds that don't heal on my back?" he mocked himself.

Hope glanced at Kace for a second, and she could see the despair in those eyes.

"My human side abandoned me. If he doesn't want his beast," Kace chuckled and shook his head. "If he hates his beast so much, at least he should have done a better job of taking a good care of his mate and his being." He rephrased.

"He takes a good care of me," Hope retorted.

"He left you for years," Kace said sternly as he stared deeply into Hope's eyes. "You can't argue with me with that fact."

"He has his own reason for that." Hope murmured.

Somehow, Hope felt ridiculous for defending Kace against himself.

What is wrong with his human side and his beast? Why they were poles apart? Can't they be in the same page at least for once?

Kace despised his beast and in the other hand, the beast resented his human side.

"I don't accept any reasons for that. Leaving our mate behind and let that bitch witch controlled us, is not acceptable." His voice was slightly harsh as if he reprimanded no one in particular, since it was himself who he hated.

And this time, Hope agreed. She was tongue-tied.

It didn't matter for those years when she was only a child, she knew nothing about this bond. Yet, for the last three years when she didn't even get a single call from him, it was truly upsetting.

There was a silent that stretched out between them, until Hope mumbled something. "He couldn't come because there was this creature, who could read his mind… he just wanted to keep me safe."

In the end, Hope was still defending him.

"But, he ended up not killing this creature and instead let him go. What a waste of three years, don't you think?" Kace pointed out the fact.

Yes, Kace didn't kill the creature, who had separated them for three years.

"That creature could return and what is he going to do? Leaving you again for another year because he thought that was the best for you? To keep you safe?" The beast confronted her. "For me, that doesn't make senses!" he grumbled in the end.

And for the crazy part, Hope agreed with what he said. Kace should have killed the creature, but he didn't do it because of… what? Compassion? The guilty feeling that he couldn't bear because of what he had done almost a millennia ago?

Kace stretched out his hand and put his fingers under her chin, "You know what I am saying is right."

Hope looked at the beast in the eyes. Everything that she believed falter with his new standpoints. She agreed with him.

Not only that, in those black eyes, she could see how much the beast was hurt to be treated that way by his own self.

"Are you trying to make me hate the other part of you?" Hope whispered her question.
