Chapter 459 - FOURTEEN YEARS OLD (10)

Six boxes of pizza, soft drinks, other snacks and nice movie, but none of them could melt the icy cold atmosphere. 

"What a nice movie." Kace commented. 

At least out of five people inside the living room, there was one who really enjoyed this situation. Raine thought bitterly. 

During the movie, no one was talking. 

Rossie was sitting at the far away position from Kace, next to Rossie was Ian and Ethan sat near Hope, the three of them stuffed in the long sofa. 

While Hope was stuck with Kace on the second sofa. 

"It is only you who enjoy it." Hope sneered. She didn't know what kind of power that Kace possessed to be able to make all of her friends didn't even complain a single word about this. 

"Why? You don't like it?" Kace raised his eyebrows at Hope and shifted his attention to the other three. "Do you want to watch another movie?"

"No, no…"

"No, thanks."

Ian and Ethan immediately waved their hands in panic. They would die because of too much pressure if Kace forced them to watch another movie with him. 

Kace was very overbearing for them to handle. 

At this time, Rossie tugged Ian's sleeve and whispered something to him, once she was done whispering, Ian looked over at Kace and spoke with trembling voice. 

"Actually, we have to go home…" Ian gulped hardly. "Our parents will be very worry if we don't return now."

If the situation was slightly different, Hope would have loved it if for her friends to visit her house. This would be the first time for her friend to come over. 

Thanks to Kace, but the ambience was not like what she imagined. 

"Alright, I will drive you home." Kace stood up on his feet and stretched his stiff muscles. "Let's go."

"What? No!" Ian and Ethan talked simultaneously as they threw an SOS kind of look to Hope, begging for her grace to save their a** from this intimidating shifter. 

"Why? Do you want to turn down my generous offer?" Kace crossed his arms in front of his chest in intimidation.

"No, of course not." Ian replied in panic as he could feel his younger sister was shivering beside him. 

"Okay, get up then or your parent will be panic, thinking I kidnapped their children." Kace picked the car key from the table and whistled as he walked out of the living room to turn on the car engine. 

"Hope." Rossie sprung to her feet and approached her. "He is very scary."

Scary? 

Hope had never felt that way about Kace, even when he fought the devil in his beast form on their previous encounter, she was not afraid of him.

Because deep down in her heart, Hope knew that Kace would never hurt her no matter what the reason was. 

Yet, Hope still consoled Rossie by patting her back. "Don't worry he will not hurt you."

"Hope, what is he? An Alpha?" Ethan asked worriedly. He was the coolest among the siblings, but Hope still felt his nervousness. 

"I don't think he is an Alpha. We are same, rogue, like you." This statement from Hope also confirmed their suspicion that Hope was living with shape shifter. 

"Impossible." Ethan's brows furrowed deepened. "He was nothing like rogue. We could feel his authority and dominance nature."

"Well, do you see any pack here?" Hope retorted. No pack, no Alpha. 

"But, why he has that strong aura?" Ian half- whispered at Raine, his gaze darted at the front door occasionally, afraid Kace would rush into the house and strangled him because of his comment. 

"I don't know." Hope shrugged her shoulder. How she supposed to know when she felt nothing except the warm of the tingling feeling that she felt every time he touched her?

Ian and Ethan looked at each other in confusion. 

"Hope, I don't think I can take a ride with him." Rossie looked at Hope with her teary eyes, the stress that she felt was way too much and she couldn't handle it well. 

"It's alright, I will go with you." this was the best way to handle the situation for the meantime. 

"I really don't mind if I have to walk from here to our house." Ian shivered at the thought that the dangerous shifter would come to their house. "I don't feel comfortable for him to know where we are living."

"Like Kace said before." Hope glanced to the door. "He didn't take a rejection very well."

All of them knew that they didn't have a choice in this matter, because if Kace really wanted to know where they were living it was as easy as moving his finger. 

The four of them walked out of the house and hopped into the car. It was obvious that Hope would take the front seat and received an incredulous gaze from Kace upon seeing her there.

"What are you doing here?" Kace frowned.

"Make sure you will not eat my friends.��� Hope huffed and even in that state, Kace found her very adorable as he pinched her rosy cheek.

============== 

The car stopped in front of a small house with the front yard was full of roses. It was very beautiful house and the smell of the roses filled the air around them. 

Only now Hope understood why sometime she would smell rose scent from the siblings. 

Once the car stopped, Rossie immediately got off of the car and looked for the safety of her house. 

"Thank you." Ethan said rigidly as he climbed out of the car after his twin brother who didn't say a word as he rushed toward the house because he caught a sight of his mother was tending the roses. 

Hope could see it, why Ian was such in hurry, it was their instinct to feel the greater predator around them and also their instinct to protect their family from it. 

But, what surprised Hope the most was Kace turned off the car and opened the car door. "What are you doing!?"
