Chapter 487 - GOOD NIGHT KISS

"Where is Serefina now?" Hope was very excited. "Kace, can't we come to your brother place?"

"What do you expect?" Kace stretched out his body and felt the pain on his back as he frowned slightly, but no one noticed this small gesture of discomfort. "Knocking his door and said; 'can I see your mate?' like that?"

"Why? Can't we do that?" Hope blinked her eyes innocently, she didn't understand why they couldn't do that? "He is your brother."

"Yes, that fact doesn't change anything." Kace disagreed immediately. "My other brother has been looking for me to find you and harm you. You will not go near any of my brother until I know their clear intention, especially Jedrek." Because Kace still considered Torak's decision to keep his mate. Does he mean it?

There was a time when Kace was very close with Jedrek and Torak. The three of them were actually very close, it's just that it happened at such a long time ago, until it felt like a very distant dream…

"Why is Torak looking for Serefina?" Kace felt bad for disappointing Hope, but it was for her safety. Though Torak accepted his mate and had never messed with him, but being in constant hunted, had developed this bad habit for Kace.

Although on the surface he looked like an easy- going person and careless, but when it came to Hope, Kace wasn't a tolerance person.

"I think because he wants to know more about his mate, after all, before all of this, no one is willing to put more effort to know about the existence of the guardian angel." Lana gave her opini as put the empty bowl on the sink and poured a glass of water for her. "If there is nothing you want to discuss, I will go back to my room."

After Lana was sure no one wanted to talk, she walked out of the kitchen, straight to her bedroom.

"Then, why don't you sleep now?" Kace turned his attention on Hope. "Don't you say you were sleepy?"

"I will go to sleep." Hope jumped down from the bar stool. Since Lana had gone to her bedroom, she felt at ease.

Kace also went out of the kitchen with Hope, to walk her to her bedroom. He stopped in front of her door and leaned over to kiss her temple while Hope yawning widely.

It almost three o'clock in the morning and Hope rarely still awoke at this hours.

This time, Kace didn't step into her bedroom and tucked her into bed, because in this age, he thought it was not proper for him to do so… unless, Hope allowed him.

Yet, seeing how Hope stood in front of him and didn't give a space for him to go past the door, that gesture alone had already told him his boundary.

"But, kace…" Hope leaned against her door frame as she stared at the man in front of her with sleepy face.

"Hm?" Kace hummed.

"This still bother me to know your brother wants to kill me… is your kind despise someone like me a lot? I know, compare to you, I am the weak one, but I don't think I am that weak…" Hope's words jumbled up as she tried to convey her point. "You know… I am not weak."

"I know you are not weak." Kace could see Hope was agitated because of that statement. "Don't think about it too much. Jedrek is a jerk."

"Even though you said that, it doesn't really helpful for me to feel better." Hope pouted, being very sleepy turned her became grumpier.

"Sleep tight. Good night, babe." Kace chuckled and immediately bid her good night.

"Good night." Hope tip toed and kissed his cheek before she closed the door immediately. 

Behind the close door, Hope felt she had been awoken by her own sudden action. She rushed toward her bed and threw herself on the soft mattress as she covered her face with her pillow.

Oh, please! That wasn't the first time she kissed him! She had done that countless time when she was only a child!

Yet, why the feeling right now was very different? Hope could feel her chest was about to burst because of her nervousness.

Ugh!

Why it was very different? Maybe this feeling was intensified because she didn't meet for three years. Hence, Kace's image as a good big brother gradually faded away and now, Hope saw him as a man.

Hope thought that was the most logical theory that she could come up with.

But, whatever it was, she aside from her nervousness because of her bold action, she felt giddy and happy.

Meanwhile, outside the door, Kace stared at the closed door as he smiled to himself. The way Hope was blushing right after she kissed him, didn't go unnoticed by him and this softened his feature and melted his heart.

"Kace, can we talk for awhile?" Lana looked at Kace impassively as she stood a few meter away from him in the corridor.

"Hha?" Kace was so occupied with his own thought until he didn't realize that Lana had been standing there and watched everything that happened there.

"We need to talk about the wound on your back." Lana nodded her head as a sign for Kace to follow her. Kace complied and walked behind her without any questions.

Lana led the way to the terrace beside of the house, near Serefina's bedroom and stopped there. "Sit first, let me see the wound."

Kace sat down and took off his shirt to reveal his back, though the four line of wounds were still there, but it didn't prevent Lana from wandering her eyes to relish the view before her eyes.

"Does your wound still hurt?" Lana sat down behind Kace as she traced her fingers along the wounds, just like what Serefina had done, the tip of Lana's finger flickered with light.

"Sometime." Kace admitted. "You have improved your ability. It is odd to know a she werewolf could do this magic too."
