The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 537 - LET HER

And suddenly, the monster in him, fell to silence as he rested his head on her lap.

Hope was surprised to see how fast Kace fell asleep. His breath became even and his expression less hostile than before.

Indeed, he looked so tired.

As long as Hope remembered, aside from the short before Kace's consciousness was taken by his own beast, he had not yet slept since last night.

Hope sighed. She moved carefully, so Kace wouldn't wake up, to find a more comfortable position. She reached a blanket and covered his body to keep him warm before she ran her fingers through his long hair and played with them, just like how Kace loved to play with hers.

"Why is your human side and your monster side are so different?" Hope mumbled. She had to admit it, that the beast side of him was not as scary as she thought it'd be, yet she still missed the gentle and caring Kace the most. She also missed to stare into his blue ocean eyes.

"Bad wolf," Hope nudged her forefinger onto his squishy cheeks and smiled softly. She hoped after this everything would go according to their plans.

The wounds on Kace's back seemed getting uglier, though Hope didn't see it clearly, but the last time the openedpart of his wound was not as long as this.

Kace, who was lying on his stomach, gave an easy access for Hope to see his back when she pulled his shirt slightly.

The wounds were getting bigger, longer and darker.

Hope made a side note to herself to ask about who had hurt him so bad like this,Kace didn't seem to be weak enough to be hurt until he suffered a great lose.

She ran her fingerson the surface of his deep cut opened wounds and grimaced when she imagined how painful it would be for him.

If it was her, Hope would be wailing in pain every night and day if she had those kind of wounds.

"Get better soon, please…" Hope leaned over and kissed Kace's temple as the beast sighed in satisfaction in his sleep.

"Why are you following us?!" Hope roared angrily as she turned her body and faced Abby, who shamelessly followed behind them.

"Why?" Abby feigned innocently. She hid behind Leon, as if Hope would bite her off. Well, if she could, she would. "The ship will return every two weeks, so I don't have any other choice except to follow you."

"Why do you have to follow us?" Lana disliked the idea of having an addition of people that she didn't know into the group. "You can just stay and rent a room."

"Honestly, I don't know this place, this is my first time to be here." This time, it was Leon who was talking.

He also didn't have any options left, because they had never have such plan to embark into that ship if it was not for his sister's crazy idea to tail onKace.

Meanwhile, the lycan, who had attracted the witch girl's attention, seemed didn't care for the world as he put his arms around Hope's slender waist.

He couldn't be bothered about who came with them or what their concern, as long as his mate was with him, he had nothing to complain.

As if being stared at the whole time was not awkward enough, all of a sudden, Kace carried Hope bridal style with his expression that devoid from any emotion.

"Kace! Put me down! What are you doing!?" Hope shrieked and then she added in a hiss. "This is so embarrassing, you know! Put me down!"

Despite Hope's dangerous glare, Kace didn't consideronto granting her wish. "You are tired."

"Says who?!" Hope could feel her cheeks were getting warm as well as she could feel the stare that she got from the rest of the people in the group.

Lana, who witnessed that, turned her face away to avoid the painful scene before her eyes, her fists beside her body clenched and unclenched as her long finger embedded deeply onto her skin.

The twins also did the same, but their face showed that they didn't want to see this sudden public display of affection.

Why does this beast become more shameless than the normal Kace? Or, maybe she just didn't know that Kace, actually, was this shameless?

Meanwhile, Leon and Lidya could only sigh helplessly.

"Stop struggling, will you?" Kace frowned at Hope's futile attempt to get down.

Pouting, Hope huffed her irritation. Well, actually, after walking for two hours, Hope was at the point of exhaustion, her legs cramped and she was slightly hungry.

However, when she turned around and looked at those supernatural creatures around her that didn't even break a sweat, she felt ashamed if she asked for a break. They were in a rush and she didn't want to slow them down.

Regardless, Kace noticed her erratic breathing and knew immediately that his little mate was on the verge of breaking down.

"She can walk just fine, why do you have to carry her like that?"

From behind Kace, Hope could hear Abby was grumbling. The witch girl was staring sharply at her.

Abby was so upset and in her right hand, she conjured a blue flame. Leon, who was walking a step away in front of her, didn't realize what his sister was going to do, but Lidya did.

In a blink of an eye, Lidya had stood right behind Abby's back and caught her hand. The flame extinguished with her touch as she whispered at the young witch.

"He will rip you apart if you hurt her, you know that," Lidya spoke languidly. "Be wise and cherish your life. The beast doesn't have compassion for an irrelevant girl like you."

A few meters away in front of them, Hope watched everything unfold, but she couldn't hear what Lidya was saying to Abby.

Nonetheless, Hope wrapped her arms around Kace's neck and rested her head on the curve of his neck while staring at Abby provokingly.

Hope was aware that she was protected by those people around her, thus if that witch girl insisted to come along with them, let her be…historical
