Chapter 399 - A ROGUE

The white beast barged into the house, looking for the source of the sound. Someone was crying and followed by rumble and mumble sound that echoed throughout the house.

It seemed something bad happened and they were mourning now, mourning of something or someone who was dead.

Kace couldn't feel it. The mate bond. The beast couldn't feel it.

Once the white beast arrived in front of a beautifully carved door, there were around ten people there, sobbing, crying and comforting each other.

The muscle of the white Lycan tensed up as his turned grim. Something bad had happened there.

The white Lycan took his time to look the four women, who were standing outside of the door, crying on each other shoulder.

However, none of them were his mate.

Whether it was a bless or another curse, because whatever behind the door, it would be worse than the crying women out there.

Kace's beast slipped his large body into the room and his dark eyes turned murky when he watched a woman cried beside a white baby crib, another man was holding her shoulder and whispered something to her ears in order to calm her.

Meanwhile, three other men, who appeared to be doctors, said his condolences and stood there with grieving expression etched on their face.

The white beast walked closer toward the baby crib and looked down to the small creature, as beautiful and pure as the morning dew.

The white beast was very tall, thus its head could see over the box without much difficulty.

The beautiful baby puckered her pink lips and her small fingers curled. She was so beautiful with black hair and soft skin.

But, the baby was not breathing.

============== 

The howling and rustling winds were the only sounds that accompanied Serefina while she was waiting for Kace to return from inside the house.

The witch had taken care of Maximus and his people, but they should go from there immediately before the annoying Lycan came back with more people, or worse, Jedrek.

Things would turn out very bad if that happened.

Not so long, Serefina could see Kace's figure walked out of the house, but he was alone. Why he is not coming with his mate?

His expression couldn't be read, thus Serefina didn't know what had happened.

"What is it?" The impatient Serefina approached Kace and asked him hastily. "Where is your mate? Something happened there?"

However, instead of answering Serefina's question, Kace didn't stop to talk to her and kept walking as he posted another question. "Where is those Lycans?"

"I take care of them, of course." Serefina walked next to him as she replied smugly. "Now, answer my question, where is your mate?"

Kace glanced at the witch next to him and growled irritably. "Mate my **s."

A hard slap fell on Kace's back, but the Lycan didn't even flinch. "Watch your words pup!"

Kace rolled his eyes at the way Serefina addressed him, though he thought of Serefina as his older sister, but the witch seemed too engrossed with the idea and bullied him every time she could.

Well, like a sister would…

"So, what happened?" Serefina tried to catch up with Kace's large steps as they walked away from there, leaving the house, which the witch told him that his mate was there.

"You are wrong." Kace glared at Serefina. "My mate is not there."

"Really?" Serefina frowned, she felt it, weird energy from inside the house. She had been looking for that weird feeling since decades ago, thus the moment she felt it, she thought she had found one of the guardian angel.

But… has she been mistaken? Serefina was so confuse.

"Impossible… I am sure of it." Serefina mumbled.

"Like a hundred percent sure?" Kace squinted his eyes at her, doubting his own judgment if Serefina said she was certain of it. Maybe Kace should go back and checked it for the second time together with her.

"Hmm… like sixty percent." Serefina rubbed her chin, a complicated feeling flashed on her eyes.

"D*mn you." Kace cursed. "You called me here for sixty percent?" He didn't believe that, Serefina had never acted so reckless if she was unsure about something.

Maybe time had finally changed her?

"Shut up. I am so confused now. But, still sixty percent is a high chance." Serefina retorted. She didn't want to be blamed. "How do you know she is not your mate? Did you touch her?"

"I couldn't sense the presence of my mate even when I was so close to the house, the only thing that pulled me closer was the crying sound, which I chose to follow." Kace recalled the moment that happened inside the house. "There were a lot of women inside the house."

"And then?" Serefina probed. "None of them were your mate?"

"No one from them, but there was a baby inside the room, apparently they were crying over the baby because she was dead." Kace frowned, he remembered that the baby was very beautiful with flowery scent.

"Dead?" Serefina repeated.

As for now, they had been walking very far from the house and turned toward a crowd place where cars and motorcycles sped on the road with bright stores on their left.

"Yes, I think Maximus's people managed to kill the poor baby." Kace concluded. "But, the baby was not my mate either." And he was grateful for that.

Kace couldn't imagine, how he would react if he saw his mate had died. He didn't want to confront his brother, but if it was because of his order that he would lost his mate, then he would never forgive Jedrek for that.

"Are you sure? I am glad if she was not yours, but how could I make a mistake?" Serefina denied her mistake arrogantly.

"Everybody make a mistake or two." Kace quoted.

"So, what you will do now? You can't go back to the castle." Serefina ignored his words. "But if you stay here you will be…"

"…A rogue." Kace finished her conclusion.
