Chapter 492 - YOU WILL KILL YOURSELF

Serefina raised her eyebrows when she heard that. "You hugged him?" and there was a sinister smile appeared on her red lips. "How many times have I warned you until all of my words could get through the thick skull of yours?"

Serefina had told Lana countless time to not let her feeling toward Kace spread like a disease in her heart, but in the end, who would be able to control someone's feeling?

"It was just a hug." Lana was being stubborn and still felt unfair because of the strong reaction of Serefina and Kace. "Why? Have you never hugged him?"

In her frustration, Lana threw an absurd question about this situation. Perhaps, for normal relationsh.i.p.s, Serefina and Kace would have shared a hug or two in their centuries of life, but apparently it wasn't the case for them and Lana had asked wrong question.

"Why should I hug him?" Serefina frowned her eyebrows as her nose scrunched with the idea of her hugging Kace.

"I…" Lana lowered her head, knowing her mistake. "My feeling got the best of me and Kace has been very angry since that night," she admitted.

With heavy steps, Lana walked toward the nearby chair and plopped down there. Her eyes closed as she threw her head back.

"Your action was an offense for him," Serefina stated. As one of the most possessive creatures, almost all the lycanthropes wouldn't like to touch their opposite s.e.x if it wasn't their own mate, especially those who had found their mate.

"I know… I just couldn't help it." Lana looked tired when she said this.

"You are killing yourself if you don't stop this." Serefina had said it more than ten times and now it was just like passing words in Lana's ears.

"Is this how you feel?" Lana muttered. "Is this how you feel when you learned Jedrek would have a mate on his own? That was why you chose to run?"

Lana felt bitter when she realized she shared something in common with Serefina. She was young and have not lived too long, but her constant journey due to her assignment from the witch, forced her to learn a lot of information, including story about Serefina and Jedrek.

The part where Jedrek was having a mate was her own thinking because no one knew about this fact out there.

Lana thought her rhetorical question wouldn't be answered by the witch, yet she proved it wrong by speaking the truth. "I didn't run away. I just didn't have a choice."

"Why do you have no choice?" Lana opened her eyes and stared at the witch, who was sitting on the chair three tables from her.

"Long story my girl… long story…" Serefina mumbled to herself, but in the end she didn't tell Lana anything about it.

"When will you leave to meet Torak?" Lana changed their topic, knowing Serefina, she wouldn't get anything even if she lingered in that question.

"Soon." Serefina didn't give the specific time. "But, I want you to still complete the task that I gave to you."

Lana didn't answer this, yet Serefina knew she would.

=============== 

"What are you doing there with Lana?" Hope narrowed her eyes questioningly.

"There is Serefina also there." Kace corrected her statement.

Kace was saying the truth, despite he didn't explain the part that Serefina just appeared in the middle of his conversation with Lana.

Ian followed behind the two of them, looked happy enough because he could escape the class.

"Why are you looking for Lana?" Kace tried to change the topic.

"She left her book in my class and I wanted to give it back to her, but she was not in the teacher's room, so did you…" Hope exposed her true intention.

"Your true intention is to see me, isn't it?" Kace bumped onto her lightly.

"Why? You don't like it?" Hope crossed her arms, feigning an upset expression. She bumped onto him too, but Kace didn't even budge.

"I loved it." Kace laughed.

"Guys, can you stop that? We are still inside the school." Ian complained from behind them.

"With the two of you super hearing ability, no one will know." Hope replied, they would act as any normal teacher and student if there was someone approached them. Unless, they were creatures without scent, Kace would know right away.

Speaking about creature…

"Kace, I saw a woman out of our school gate during Lana's class." Hope remembered that woman from earlier and decided to tell Kace.

Although she thought there was nothing wrong with that woman, but the way she stared at her for long time made Hope felt slightly uncomfortable.

"A woman?" Kace halted his stepped and grabbed Hope's wrist to make her stop too. "What woman?"

Hope shrugged her shoulder and glanced at Ian, ask for his help to explain the situation toward Kace.

"That woman had been staring at Hope during the class and I let Hope knew because I thought she knew her." Ian surmised the story. "But, I am sure, she that woman is not human… shape shifter, probably… that woman gave a strange vibe." he was unsure.

"How that woman looks like?" Kace disliked the fact there was another creature notice about Hope's existence.

Ian then explained about how that woman looked like in detail, as the explanation went further, the frown on Kace's face grew deeper.

"Do you know that woman?" Ian asked after he finished describing the woman.

Unfortunately, Kace shook his head. "No, I don't think I have met a woman with that description."

"Maybe she just a guest," Ian contemplated. "Witch or vampire…"

"What witch and vampire are doing in this village?" Kace knocked Ian's head, this time slightly harder than the one he always gave Hope. "They will go straight to the forest and open the portal to the northern coven.

"I am still not done talking." Ian protested while rubbing his head dramatically. "You don't know? Every three years there will be a festivity in this city."
