The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 557 - FRESH AIR

"This is Carina," Chiron introduced the woman beside him as she smiled politely towards the three teenagers. "She is our healer."

Hope and the twins nodded their head like children who had been reprimanded.

"Nice to meet you Carina." Hope waved her hand and earned a nod from the female centaur.

After that, the three of them followed behind Chiron and Carina solemnly when they entered the barn, and didn't dare to address another question as the atmosphere became awkward. Thanks to Ian previously.

Inside the barn, just like the last time they saw it, Kace's beast was lying motionlessly on a stack of hay, covered with a warm blanket that Hope dr.a.p.ed on his body before.

The rise and fall movement of his chest was the only thing that indicated he was still breathing, alive.

Chiron and the woman approached the beast quietly, even their steps couldn't be heard in this quiet place.

"This is magic." Carina bent his front horse-legs, so she could touch the beast's head. Her long fingers traced the wounds behind the beast' back.

"Witch's magic?" Chiron asked.

Carina didn't answer immediately, she halted her fingers an inch away from the wounds and expressed her uncertainty, "No, this is old magic, not from the witches. I think this is fae's magic."

There were a lot of types of magic asides from the witches' and one of them was fae's. Lana, who was a half-fae, had proven that she could cast certain spells, though it was not as powerful as the witches.

And since they had never met with any faes, Lana's true ability was still unknown. To what extentcould they use their power?

"Fae," Chiron reiterated. "Faes live in different land, most of them are in the mainland."

The mainland that Chiron mentioned was the Northern Coven, where faes, witches and vampires lived together and made their own habitat. Those creatures were powerful enough to say the least and the rumor about theirjoint force had been spread.

The problem was not because the witches and faes finally entered into an agreement, but the purposes of their union, what they worried about.

There were more activities that happened ever since, and there were a lot more creaturesthat disappeared in their experiment.

Chiron glanced at the girl, whose eyes shone brightly like the stars above them and then to the white beast, who was lying motionlessly. The prophecy would come true.

"Can you help him?" Hope asked, she walked forward and crouched down beside the female centaur. Even now, she was still fascinated by their feature and when Hope looked at her up close like this, their tanned skin was as smooth as marble stone.

"I can't fix his wound, but I think I can wake him up." Carina nodded to her own words. "He had rested enough."

"Yes please, I was thinking the same thing," Hope replied hastily. She couldn't wait to see Kaceopen his eyes again. She missed him, either it was his beast or human side, she missed all of him.

"Will do, lady." Carina smiled politely at Hope and she blushed because of the way she called her.

"You can just call me Hope," Hope murmured.

"Beautiful name for a beautiful lady." She stretched out her hand and put her fingers under Hope's chin. "You have a path that is not easy. I see a beautiful soul with a peerless spirit."

"Thank you," Hope said shyly, but what Carina was about to say next, erased her smile completely.

"But, I see death surround you," Carina said in the same tone she praised the girl.

"Carina," Chiron's voice laced with warning. "Let's finish our business here."

Carina's big eyes shifted to Chiron and back to Hope before she released her chin and focused on the beast in front of her.

Hope could feel the siblings moved nervously behind her, but Hope didn't have time to give them her extra attention after hearing what Carina said.

What did she mean with those unsettling words?

Hope couldn't understand why the more she knew about this realm, the more confused she became and now she was afraid of what Carina just said.

The dream.

The prophecy.

About her being the guardian angel.

The centaur.

The curse.

Hope didn't know where she had to start even if she was given a chance to ask.

The centaurs had their own magic, but not all of them were gifted with such power. Fortunately, Carina did.

She was chanting a spell in a strange language that sounded like a song while caressing the beast's white fur, especially on the surface of his wound.

And now, she had been doing that for ten minutes already, but nothing happened to Kace. Would it work?

Hope was extremely tense while watching what Carina did, but her mind buzzed with many unanswered questions.

When she was starting to bite her nails, someone squeezed her shoulder gently.

"I think you need some fresh air," Chiron spoke, retracting his hand when he already got her attention. "Let's take a walk and let your friends wait for your mate."

There he was, addressing Kace as her mate again.

Hope was reluctant to leave the beast's side, but there was nothing she could do more here to help. Maybe, taking a walk with Chiron was not a bad idea after all.

And it seemed like the chief of the centaur had the same intention like Hope, since he only offered this to the girl and not to the other two brothers.

"I want to take a walk too," Ian declared, he didn't want to let Hope bealone with this creature.

But Ethan glowered at him while saying. "No, we will stay here, in case Carina needs something." He was sensible enough to catch the hidden meaning behind Chiron's words.

Hope nodded. "Yes, I would love to. I think fresh air is all I need right now."

"Iam going to tell you a story about the stars." Chiron stretched out his hand to help Hope stand up and then both of them walked out of the barn.
