The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 462 - FOURTEEN YEARS OLD (13)

"I smell blood on you." Kace's blue eyes darkened a few shade when he inspected her body again, but he couldn't find anything.

"No, I am not hurt." Hope was confused as she followed Kace's line of sight to observe her own body. No way she didn't know whether she was hurt or not.

"I can smell blood on you." Kace mumbled the same thing absentmindedly. "There is quite a lot of blood."

Hope twirled in Kace's arm as she showed him her back and heard when Kace's breath hitched.

"Why what happened?" Hope became panic. "There is something wrong?'

But then the voice that answered her filled with hesitation and slightly faltered. Kace spoke like someone who was reluctant to answer a difficult question. "Hope, you know… I think… uhm."

"What is it?" Hope snapped and turned around to see Kace was scratching his head.

"I think you are in your period." He finished it with a sheepish smile. "Did you forget your date?"

"Period?" Hope's brows scrunched together, but when the realization hit her, her eyes widened in shock and she rushed in to the house, leaving Kace in daze.

Kace had never dealt with this kind of condition, thus he didn't know what was exactly going on or the possibility that it was Hope's firs period.

He just came out from his reverie when he heard Hope called his name from the bathroom.

"Yes, I am here." Kace knock the door once to let Hope knew he was there, so she could stop calling his name.

"Kace, I need you to buy me 'that' thing." Hope said timidly. historical

If Kace wasn't a shifter and just a normal human being, he would have a hard time to hear what Hope was talking from behind the close door.

"What 'thing'?" but then, Kace corrected himself by nodded his head in understanding. "Oh, alright. I will be right back."

Kace heard Hope was saying 'please hurry' when he raced to the car and drove to the nearest convenient store to get the necessity.

==============

Kace didn't know what he should buy, thus he just bought one of each type and drove back home immediately before the female cashier could bore a hole on the back of his skull.

"Hope." Kace knocked on the door of the bathroom. "Here."

Hope opened the door slightly and extended her arms to receive the item that she needed. "Why did you buy so many?" Hope murmured as she closed the door again. "I will not use all of this."

"I don't know what should I buy, at least you can have a fun choose it." Kace could hear Hope was chuckling.

After that, Kace opened his phone and started to browse about what he should do to help her. This was her first period and from what he heard, it would be uncomfortable for her.

Inside the bathroom, after Hope was done with her business, she poked her head to see no one there, but he could hear rustling sound from the kitchen. It must be Kace.

Hope's bedroom was only the end of this corridor and she didn't think she wanted to meet with Kace after he watched her bleeding on her pants. It was so embarrassing.

And just like what the other embarrassing memories, Hope felt her dignity left her body. Well, that was exaggerated.

But, this incident only added to the list of 'stupid' things that Hope had done in front of Kace. For some reason, Hope was very self- conscious about her image in front of him.

Though she had said that she didn't want him to claim her as his mate and wanted to have an option for this matter, but unconsciously she had been trying to act like a decent woman to match Kace. At least this was what she thought.

She wanted to look more mature and less troublesome for Kace, so he could stop to call her 'little one' and treated her like a child.

Hope rushed toward her bedroom with towel around her lower body because her pants was stained with blood and she had to wash it after she wore clean pants.

Inside the bedroom she put on a blue jogging pants and rushed back to the bathroom to wash her bloody pants when she heard Kace was still making something inside the kitchen.

The man had not done yet when Hope walked back to her bedroom and lied down on her bed, with her face buried on her soft pillow.

However, before Hope could fall asleep, she heard the door of her room was being pushed open and a warm smell wafted her nose.

"What is it?" Hope turned her head lazily as she watched Kace walked into her room with a brown glass in his hand.

"I read this on line, it said it could ease the pain during period." Kace sat down on the edge of her bed as he handed the glass to her.

Hope received it. "Tea?" she looked at Kace questioningly.

"Chamomile tea. I found it in the kitchen." Kace was planning to buy it if he couldn't find it in the kitchen, but fortunately Lana had bought it.

"You know, you suppose to serve tea in a cup not a glass." Hope smiled contentedly when the warm liquid was cascading down her throat. It taste good, she had never known that they had this delicious tea at home.

"Both look same for me." Kace shrugged nonchalantly. "Have you had period cramps?"

Hope thought about it for a while, "No, I am fine. I think I don't have period cramps, thankfully, I heard it will hurt so bad."

Kace nodded, seemed relief as well.

"I feel bad." Hope said after she took her third sip of the tea.

"Why? You need to go to see a doctor?" Kace took this seriously.

"No, it's not that." Hope shook her head. "I don't want you to see me… like 'that'"

At first Kace didn't understand, but then he realized what Hope was talking about. "I have seen worse Hope. Trust me."
