Chapter 410 - DON'T INTERFERE
After Kace drove away from the inn parking lot, nobody talked about the event with the girl before, mostly because Serefina didn't care and Kace was too engross with the thought to reach the mystic river village before the sun was set.
But, they didn't know that the girl was following them by depending solely on her nose to track them.
When Serefina needed to go to bathroom they stopped at rest area to refuel the gas and bought something to eat while the witch did her business.
However, when Kace returned to his car with baby Hope in his arms, gushing and mumbling incoherently, he found the same girl was panting beside his car. She was sweating profusely.
"Take me with you." Despite her ragging breath, her voice sounded firm when she asked Kace to take her with him.
"No." Kace could see that the girl was malnourish and had been running from something before they met.
Whatever was that, Kace didn't want to get involve. He has enough trouble to keep him occupied for the rest of his eternity.
Another fact that Kace realized was, apparently she could shift into her beast, or else she wouldn't be here as her human form wouldn't be able to chase the speed of his car.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut, that wasn't the point. He wouldn't take her nonetheless.
"Take me with you or I will die." The girl spoke grimly, her eyes quivered in her attempt to hold back her tears.
Yet, Kace didn't sympathize with her as he raised his eyebrows and walked past her. "So, why do you think I care?"
Because Serefina was not there yet, Kace decided to buy ice cream, which not far from there, for himself with the strange girl followed behind him.
"I will do everything as long as you helped me." The girl was very determined to change Kace's mind. "I will take care of that little brat in your arms."
She made a big mistake to call the cute baby Hope as a brat.
Kace turned around and because of that the girl almost bumped onto him. Almost… because Kace extended his arms and pushed her back until the girl fell on her back.
Luckily, there was no one who watched that scene, or else Kace would be condemned from harassing a little girl.
He knew the girl would be alright, a little push like that wouldn't do any harm to their kind, no matter how haggard she looked.
"Call her with that again, you shouldn't worry about whatever will kill you." Kace remarked menacingly.
The girl nodded, even if she was afraid, she didn't show it on her face as she hastily stood up. "I will not say it again in the future."
"What future? Do you think I will see again after this?" Kace turned around and bought an ice cream for himself, but when he watched the way the girl stared at his colorful gelato, he ordered one more and gave it to the girl as he watched Serefina had returned from the bathroom.
"For me?" The girl stared in disbelief at the yummy ice cream and then at Kace's stern expression. historical
"Yes, so you will not follow me anymore." Kace shook the ice cream in front of the girl's face because se didn't move her hand to take it and the Lycan became impatient with her.
The girl took a big gulp before she succeeded to peel her eyes from the mouth- watering ice cream to Kace. "If I don't take the ice cream, will you take me?" though her voice was firm, but it laced with expectation.
"Of course not. Take it or not, I will not bring you with me." Kace blurted out the brutal truth.
The girl didn't even flinch when Kace talked harshly at her and just kept quiet while following him.
"You can't come with me." Kace glared again to stop the girl from following him.
In the other hand, Serefina just raised her eyebrows, didn't care or want to know why the little girl was there, most likely because she had guessed it.
"If you leave me I will die." The girl repeated her words and she received the same answer just like before.
"I don't care." Kace strapped Hope in her infant safety seat and gave the ice cream to Serefina, the witch scrunched her nose, but took it from him.
"You are an Alpha." The girl kept insisting to use that term again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKace was almost running out of patient. The way she mentioned the term made Kace wanted to scrap her face. It was so irritated and he didn't like it a bit.
"Even if I am an Alpha? Why I should bring you with me? You are not my pack member." Kace stated through his gritted teeth.
The girl's brown eyes shone as she tilted her head and show her neck, a submissive act. "I will pledge my loyalty to you." she said hastily.
"And I do not accept it." Kace replied almost immediately as he slipped his body inside the car and started the engine.
Once he closed the door, Kace stomped on the accelerator, brought them away from that place.
However, when he took second glance at the girl through the side- view mirror, Kace watched with large eyes when a huge man was standing a few meter away from behind the girl.
He stalked forward and strangled the little girl, who was still in daze, staring at the car.
"Sh*t!" Kace cursed under his breath. Out of reflex, he stepped on the break.
Fortunately, there was no car behind him or else, it would be the three of them that was in trouble.
"What is that?!" Kace gripped the wheel tightly, leaving dent of his fingers there.
On the other hand, Serefina looked so calm when she raised her head to look what was happening to the girl from before through the rear view mirror.
"Snake shifter I guess." She said nonchalantly. "Don't interfere, we have enough trouble already."
