Chapter 408 - SHOPPING!

"Oh, Selene! I come to help you, so don't you dare to treat me like I am your enemy!" Serefina grumbled in frustration. She glared viciously at Kace, but the Lycan didn't budge with his decision.

"No need to call Selene! You don't like her, do you?" Kace quipped sarcastically, grabbed a teether for Hope, so she wouldn't cry agitatedly, upon hearing this endless argumentation.

If no one from them were willing to back down, this kind of conversation would last for as long as it needed. 

Unfortunately, most of this kind of situation, would end with both of them choose their own way, yet that wasn't the case in this situation. 

"That place is full with witches and other dark creatures!" Kace tried to make his point across, yet Serefina with her stubbornness made everything more complicated. "What in the world that you can think that Northern Coven is the safest place!?"

"Because I was there for centuries, you fool! You didn't listen to me, did you?!" Serefina ran her fingers to comb her hair agitatedly. "Yes, that place is full with witches, but that place also is protected with their spell and magic, so it will be hard for your brother and his people or that devil, who wanted to eat your baby, to find her! Don't you see? The least expected place is the safest one!"

Kace wanted to retort her statement, but something click in his mind and her point was, actually, make sense. 

But, there was only one problem.

"She is a human." Kace brushed his cheek against Hope's and this gestured made the baby giggled. "Those wretch creatures will know about it soon."

"I have thought about that. No one will notice her as a human child as long as she doesn't come out of the house." Serefina glanced at Hope briefly before she turned around and packed all of their things, which not much and most of them belonged to Hope. 

Kace furrowed his brows. "You can't keep her inside the house for the rest of her life!" he snapped, thinking how miserable it would be for his mate to not allow to see the outside world. 

Serefina rolled her eyes dramatically when she heard Kace concern. "Relax. We will just stay there until she turned five."

Kace put down baby Hope and made a bottle of milk for her, as this was the time for her to eat. "After that, where will you go?"

Serefina shrugged her shoulder. "I will think about that later, we have five years to decide another safe place for her." And then she added. "Moreover, we will not enter too deep into the northern coven. I choose to live in mystic river village."

"Mystic river village?" Kace reiterated. 

He remembered that place, it was a village under the mountain which the border of the northern coven and the realm for human. 

The last time Kace was there, was around two hundred years ago. 

There were not many people lived there and all of the people kept up with their traditions. It was an old tradition about human sacrifice to the god of the mountain. 

Kace wasn't sure about that, but two hundred years have passed, there must be significant change, right?

Those sacrifice ritual bothered the Lycan. Though, that wasn't annoyed him like his former thought that Serefina would let his mate to live inside the northern coven.

This one was more tolerable…

"That village is only two days away from here, therefore we have to buy a few necessity for her." Serefina nodded at Hope who was happily sucking onto her nursing bottle, her bright dark eyes shone brilliantly. Even Serefina had to admit that the baby would be a rare beauty when she grew up. 

"Right! I want to buy a lot of toys and cute clothes and dress for her! Let's go shopping!" Kace's dampen mood turned better by the thought of buying those things for Hope.

Serefina just rolled her eyes when she watched how Kace was very excited. Sometime, she wondered how the big Lycan determined to act childish all the time. 

Serefina knew him for long time to make that conclusion. 

However, the witch also knew Kace would turn into more beastly once his bottom line was crossed. Typical of those who had Alpha's blood ran down their veins. 

============== 

"Kace, she will not stay two months forever!" Serefina reminded the overwhelmed Lycan exasperatedly. 

Kace was near to buy the entire store for Hope, yet the baby just bit her fist or giggled and drooled without care for the world. 

"But, they are so cute!" Kace gushed when he watched a pink dress with cartoon character. "Do you want this Hope?"

Kace gave the dress to the baby and Hope stretched out her arms in attempt to grab the dress. 

"See? She likes it!" Kace beamed and gave the dress to the sales person. 

For now, they were inside a mall in this city before they drive to the northern part for two days straight, only stop to sleep.

"She will act the same way even if you give her a poison!" Serefina snapped at him angrily. They had been wasting their time for three hours just to buy clothes and toys for Hope. 

Probably, Kace wouldn't stop if Serefina didn't remind him again and again that they had to go immediately.

The Lycan was enjoying his time with his baby mate.

"No! That's enough!" Serefina snatched a cute legging for one year old baby and threw it back to the rack, then she dragged Kace out of the store. "Give me your card!" 

Serefina extended her hand to him. Those clothes were for Hope, thus it was only right if Kace paid for them.

Pouting, Kace gave the card to Serefina and talked to the baby. "Next time, when you grow older, we will go shopping together and buy more cute things for you, okey baby?"

Hope just tilted her little head while blinking her big, adorable eyes and gushed.
