Chapter 437 - THIRTEEN YEARS OLD

"What do you meant she is not at home?!" Kace was infuriated by the phone call that came from Lana, she just told him that Hope was not in the school when she picked her up like usual and her phone couldn't be contacted. 

His grip on the glass tightened before it shattered into thousands pieces when Kace ended the phone call with Lana.

The man next to him raised his eyebrows questioningly, yet he didn't surprise by the sudden outburst or with the way the wound on Kace's hand healed faster than normal human.

Even the moment he asked about what was happening, the skin on Kace's palm had mended together, leaving only traces of blood. 

"My girl is not home." Kace answered that man question, grumbling as he took his jacket and hastily went out of the bar. 

"Is he okay going out like that? He just broke a glass." a woman with seductive smile asked Leon. Apparently, she didn't manage to see how the wound on Kace's palm had healed even before he walked out of that place. She was clueless about that man healing ability.

"He will be fine." Leon glanced at the exit door that Kace had taken, but his figure had long disappeared. "It is someone who will be in trouble."

The woman twirled her curly brown hair as she walked toward Leon and sat on the barstool where Kace was sitting a while ago. 

"Why don't you tell me about your friend? He is hot." She winked at Leon, yet the man only chuckled and shook his head.

"You better forget about him," he advised. "You can't handle him."

The woman raised her eyebrows as her eyes shone brightly. "I like that kind of man."

============== 

Kace drove his car like a madman, receiving many curses along the way to Hope's school. 

This girl was becoming stubborn and stubborn day by day. Last time Kace met her, she was adamant to go to camp with her friends in pine forest.

The problem was, pine forest was near Raven village, which was the location of Torak's pack house. Sure enough, no matter how many kisses that Hope gave to him or how many time she fluttered her long lashes with her pleading eyes, Kace would never allow her to join that stupid camp activities. 

Hope was very upset since that.

Kace could understand that she was a teenager and needed to be socializing with her surrounding or hang out with her friends occasionally.

However, their condition right now, wouldn't allow her to do that, especially when she had not yet aware about the danger that lurked around her. 

Serefina had told Kace to tell her about what was happening with their world, but Kace always turned it down. Reasoning that Hope was only thirteen and she needed more time to enjoy her normal life before they boomed her with this prophecy and all. 

Yet, the normal life that Kace meant to give to her was a very strict life that she was not allowed to go to certain place without him or Lana. 

Unfortunately that wasn't the life that Hope wanted and she started her rebellious act. 

"Where is she?!" Kace asked the moment he got out of the car and approached Lana, who had been waiting for him in front of the school gates. "Any news from her?"

At the same time Kace asked that, he tried to call Hope's number, but she didn't pick up her phone. The lycan let out a frustrated growl as he shoved back his phone to his pocket. 

"I have asked around and some of Hope's friends said that the last time they saw her, she was with Alyssa and Rena, but they didn't know where they were going." Lana reported it to Kace and he cursed out loud.

Alyssa and Rena were Hope's best friends, they were quite close from what Hope always told him in her story about her school. 

"Have you asked their numbers?" Kace's eyes flickered to black and this made Lana nervous. Black eyes for Lycan wasn't a good sign, it meant they were really pissed now.

"Yes, yes…" Lana nodded immediately, but her expression didn't turn any better. "But I couldn't reach their number too."

"D*mnt it!" Kace was livid. His hands were shaking uncontrollably, fighting the urge to turn into his beast. 

Kace closed his eyes and tried to control himself as his nose raised, sniffing the air around him, searching for his mate's scent.

Lana probably couldn't do it, because as the werewolf her senses were not as advance as Kace because he was a lycan. 

Added that to the fact, he has the alpha blood ran through his system and Hope was his mate, of course Kace could pick even the faintest scent of her. 

Kace growled as he rushed into the school building, crossing the vast yard in such speed that Lana had to overwork her legs just to catch up with his pace. 

At this hour many students had returned home when some of them were inside the class for additional lessons. 

Thus, there was no one witnessed such abnormality from two people there. 

Kace stopped when he reached the school backyard. Hope scent was stopped there. It seemed she got in the car along with her two other friends.

However, the thing that bother Kace the most was; he picked another strangers scent that were vanished along with his mate's.

It wasn't only Hope and her other two friends, there were other people too with them. 

"Shift!" Kace growled before he leapt forward and his body shifted into his Lycan's form, as smooth as he walks.

The majestic white Lycan appeared before Lana's eyes and she didn't need to think further when she followed Kace's lead and shifted into her brown wolf.

Kace gave the control to his beast to track down his mate, as it would be easier to depend on it. 

It would take miles for them before they could find her.
