The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 597 - THE SOLUTION

Kace grabbed Hope's hand as they walked into the forest, where Chiron would like to explain to them about his plan for their upcoming trip to Mount Uzu.

Bree was still with them, she was very obedient as she hugged her new furry friend, Kitty and rested her head on the curve of Kace's shoulder.

It was a surprising thing that Kace didn't give back the little girl instead to the siblings and let them take her, just because Bree refused to be carried by anyone else except Kace, and clung her tiny arms around Kace's neck.

In front of them, Chiron took them to a place near a river, as they could hear the stream from where they were.

It was the same River, where Hope and Carina were attacked by demon wolves for the first time.

Chiron then stopped by the river and turned around to face the couple. As the chief of the centaurs, Chiron was taller and bigger than the rest of his kind.

But, Hope wasn't scared of him. For her, he was like that kind of person who would make you feel calm just by listening to his voice.

"About our journey to Mount Uzu," Chiron started. "We can't take you all the way to the heart of that mountain, the place I assume to be where the priestess is."

"What do you mean with that?" Kace knitted his brows.

"There is some kind of magic that protects that place since the battle between the priestess and the demon woman." It could mean either the priestess or the demon woman, who had casted that spell. "If I were able to penetrate that protection, I would have led my people in this rescue mission long ago."

The only reason why they needed to prove to the hunters that the priestess that was living among them all this time was an impostor, was because they couldn't enter that particular place in the mountain by themselves. That place was protected by some kind of magic that would not allow supernatural creatures to come closer.

"What kind of magic?" Kace squinted his eyes, as he felt a bad premonition with the way Chiron was talking to him.

"Supernatural creatures like us were not able to go in. We will feel this unbearable pain if we're persistent to go into the mountain," Chiron replied.

"If we can't enter the mountain, so how can we find that damn priestess?" Kace hissed in annoyance, but when he watched how Chiron's sight shifted on Hope, he immediately understood what this centaur was saying. "NO!" he roared.

Seeing how Bree was shocked by Kace's sudden outburst, Hope hurriedly took the little girl from the angry lycan.

"Do you mean that I have to go inside the mountain alone?" Hope asked incredulously, she realized the reason why Kace was angry all of a sudden. Even she herself disliked the idea.

"Forget it! Let's go back!" Kace was too angry to talk further, he really was ridden by the horrible urge to rip the centaur in front of him into pieces for suggesting that kind of idea.

"I am not done yet," Chiron said in his deep voice.

"Kace, wait!" Hope bent her body to stop Kace from dragging her away. "Let's hear him out first," she tried to bargain.

Of course the idea of entering Mount Uzu alone was very ridiculous.Just the thought of that, Hope could already feel the fear crept beneath her skin.

However, Chiron had not done yet, maybe he had another way out for this matter.Moreover, Kace was really needed in this.

"No!" Kace grunted when he watched how Hope was about to retort him again. "I am not going to let you enter that mountain alone! No!"

"I don't want to go alone too, alright!" Hope was exasperated.She was carrying Bree and had to stop Kace from ushering her away. If it was not because of the lycan's consideration that he would hurt Hope if he exerted more strength than this, probably now, Hope would have been swiping the dirt on the ground with her body. "Let's hear him first."

Chiron didn't intervene with the scene before his eyes, he knew his intervention would only aggravate the beast, thus he let Hope talk him out.

"Listen, if his idea this time requires me to go alone into the forest, we will go home first thing in the morning." Hope spoke in a hurry. She really hoped Chiron would give them a better idea this time or else, she wouldn't win the argumentation against Kace when she was not even sure if she had the courage to venture inside the foreign mountain filled with beast and strange supernatural creatures.

Only when Kace heard that, he stopped. His black eyes stared into Hope's deeply, as if he was looking for any sign of trickery.

"You better keep your words. I will not hesitate to put you into a sack and bring you out of this damn realm, if that is really what I have to do," Kace spoke harshly.

"Okay, okay!" Hope nodded vigorously, she wondered whether Kace would have the heart to really put her into a sack, yet she didn't want to find out. Turned around, she faced Chiron who had been waiting patiently with their squabble. "So? What are your suggestions? You really have a solution for this, right?"

Chiron nodded solemnly. "I do."

"Then talk," Kace ordered him impatiently.

If the normal Kace would restraint himself to order someone, especially to the creature whose mate he had killed in the past, then the beast Kace didn't even bat his eyes when he gave the order. He had that arrogant trait of an Alpha, after all, he was born as the son from the strongest Alpha.Therefore, the beast was really pissed when Kace just brushed it away, ignoring his own blood, his true nature traits.

Fortunately, Chiron didn't take offense to the beast's outrageous behavior. "I said, I can't enter the realm because I am a supernatural creature, but you as a shapeshifterare different." He took a step closer to them. "You can shift into a human form, and of course I will not let Hope enter the mountain alone, I will have the hunters to accompany her."

"Do you think I will trust those filthy hunters to safeguard my mate?"
