The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 589 - HIS MATE

Fear and anxiety were written all over Kace's face when he said that.And then, he lowered his head again.

"The beast scares you?" Hope repeated what he said and stretched out her arms to hug him.

Kace didn't move, he stayed still when Hope engulfed him in her warm embrace. She rested her chin on top of his head.Though this position hurt her knees, Hope stayed that way anyway.

"Why are you scared of the beast?" Hope asked again, she stroke Kace's back soothingly. "Isn't the beast a part of you?"

Hope could feel Kace shook his head as he muttered. "No, I don't want him… he's so mean."

A frown crept over Hope's face when she heard that, yet she didn't say anything and let Kace finish his words.

"He wants to kill everything. He always forces me to kill." Kace shook his head once again. "I don't want it."

Hope fell silent for a moment, when she thought about this before she said, "Can I meet the beast?"

Kace's body was shivering when he heard what Hope was saying, he shook his head again. "I am afraid." His hands that hugged his legs, now hugged Hope's slim waist. "He is angry now,"

"Why is he angry?" Hope kept asking, as she occasionally would look around her, hoping she would see the beast there.

"I don't know," Kace said softly. "Maybe because he hates me."

Hope kissed his head. "He doesn't hate you."

"He hates me. I am not competent. I am not like my brothers." Kace sobbed softly.

"No," Hope shook her head. "Don't say something like that."

"The beast scares me," Kace repeated his words.

And then, Hope saw it. There it was, the magnificent white beast, prowling behind Kace just ten meters away from them. His red eyes locked on the boy in Hope's arms as he let out a grimly snarl.

The young version of Kace whimpered out of fear, as he buried his head on Hope's shoulder.His body shivered uncontrollably.

Once again, the beast howled viciously when he saw how the boy reacted upon his appearance.

He hated it when Kace was acting weak.Especially in front of his mate. Somehow, Hope knew it just by seeing his eyes. His bloody red eyes.

In the next second Hope locked her eyes with the beast. And then, there was a bright light, suddenly everything changed again in a split of moment.

Hope felt like she was just being teleported back to reality from a different dimension, as she heard many concerned voices that called her name.

"Hope?"

It was Ethan's voice, even in her groggy state, Hope was still able to differentiate the twin's voice.

Hope's eyes snapped open at the sound of other voices around her. There were Lana, the twins, and Carina, who were standing over her limp body.

When Hope's senses started to kick in, she grabbed Ian's arms and stared at him wide-eyed. "What happened?"

"I don't know, you just fell unconscious all of a sudden," Ian answered, with a puzzled look on his face.

With the help of Lana, Hope tried to sit down, leaning her body to Ethan, while Carina was staring at her intently, concern etched on her face.

"How long was I out?" Hope' voice came out as a whisper.

"Only a minute or two," Ethan replied.

When Hope still gathered her bearing, and her mind was still reeling the moment that she just experienced a while ago. It didn't look like she was just out for a minute or two, she heard a loud sound that came from behind her back.

Hope startled when she remembered that they were still in the middle of something before she fell into that weird dream, or it was not a dream at all…

Hope turned around, as she watched in horror when the centaurs tried to hold back the angry white beast.

"What happened?" Hope tried to stand up by holding onto Ethan, "Why didn't Kace shift back?"

The angry white beast wanted to get close to Hope's small group, but the centaurs tried to divert his attention by trying to put a thick rope around its body.

If what Ethan said was true, that Hope was only out for one or two minutes.Then, it seemed that amount of time was enough for the beast to overpower ten centaurs around him, despite their vigorous effort. Probably, it just needed three more minutes before there was the first victim.

"I don't know why he doesn't shift back, it seems like he has lost himself to his beast again," Ian fidgeted when he watched the white beast's fangs graze one of the centaur' body.

They needed to do something about this or else, not only those centaurs would be in danger, but also Kace would be swallowed by his own regrets the moment he snapped out of this situation now.

"Yeah, but this time it is worse. He lost it when he was in his beast form," Ian added.

"We need to do something before there is casualty," Lana mumbled, she shifted her feet uncomfortably when she watched how easy it was for the white beast to take down three centaurs that were coming to his way, now he was coming closer to them. "I will go and help the centaurs," Lana declared. She was getting anxious because she was worried about Kace.

However, before Lana could shift into her beast form, and joined the crowd to restrain the white beast, there was a hand that held her back.

"I will do it," Hope said calmly.

"What? No!" There was a cohesive answer behind Hope that came from the siblings after they heard her intention.But, Hope chose to ignore them, and walked forward.

"No, Hope!" Lana twisted her hand, and held the girl's shoulder instead of stopping her gently. "Do you think you can stop him?" she asked incredulously.

Hope turned around, and watched how Lana's eyes flickered with incredulity. There was a tinge of annoyance as well.

"You are not a shifter. You are just a human.He could kill you in no time," Lana spoke rightfully.

Yes, Hope understood what Lana felt about Kace, but it didn't mean she could treat her like she was nothing.

Smiling, Hope answered her, "But, I am his mate."
