Chapter 495 - WHAT THEY HAD DONE

"No, he will not die just from being stabbed." Lana shook her head vigorously, dismissed Hope's wild imagination from her head. She didn't like to hear that too.

It would be easy if Kace was willing to do it himself and sounded less scary too.

"No, I don't want to do that!" Hope pulled her hand from Lana and looked at her anxiously. "There is no other way which more civil? It sounds like I am going to kill him."

"It requires thousand people like you to hurt him." Lana expressed her thought, from thinking of Hope as a guardian angel and ordinary human.

But, Lana failed to see in different side, she didn't think of Hope as Kace's mate, which one word from her, would send the beast to the deepest hell of agony.

Hope's eyebrows furrowed as she was in a deep thought. "Tell me everything." She raised her head and there was a resolution in her obsidian eyes. "Makes me understand about this whole situation. I know there are a lot of things that Kace didn't tell me and I don't know how to ask about it when I don't even know what I should ask."

It was confusing for Hope, she felt there were a lot of things going on around her, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

While it may be true Kace would answer every question that Hope asked, he wouldn't explain beyond the questions he was given and Hope didn't know where she should start.

"Why he has that wound on his back? And why he didn't heal from the wound already?" Hope prepared herself to hear the worst. "Why he doesn't want to be helped?"

Lana sighed. No one in this house who was not stubborn. "Do you really want to hear this? This explanation will be very complicated."

"I am ready with the complexity." Hope determined to know every detail about Kace. Even after the last explanation from Kace and a few question from her here and there, Hope still felt she didn't know much about him.

"Alright, if that what you want." Lana sighed. "Kace has two different types of injuries at this time."

Hope took Lana's pillow and hugged it, finding a comfortable position to hear the rest of her explanation.

"The wound that you saw, it was caused by black magic. Therefore, even with our kind remarkable healing ability, Kace has a trouble to heal himself." Lana stopped to see Hope's reaction before she continued. "I think you already know about the black magic and what harm it could bring to someone who suffered from it."

Yes, Hope knew about that, in very rare occasion when Serefina was in good mood, she would teach her one or two things about the supernatural realm and the creatures within.

Such magical things Hope thought were only a myth or fairytale, but they actually existed. Existed side by side with human world.

"If he is still stubborn, the consequences will be dire. Therefore, I need you to convince him." Lana clenched and unclenched her hands.

"I will do it, but the thing that I don't get it is; why he refuses your help? He is not someone who carelessly doesn't think of his own safety." Hope pointed out the truth.

It was very silly for Kace, for whatever reason he has to neglect his own safety, if he rejected Lana's help. Something was not right with his attitude or… maybe there was something else?

"About that…" Lana's voice slightly faltered under Hope's curious gaze. "…you can ask Kace yourself." She left it that way.

Hope made a mental note to ask about this to Kace, seeing Lana didn't want to spill anything, it would only waste of time to persuade her otherwise. "What about the other wound?"

Lana was relieved because Hope didn't linger in that matter. "The other wound is about his beast."

"His beast? His beast also hurt? How could the beast get hurt? Is it the same wound behind Kace's back?" Hope didn't know much about the beast, all she knew was; those shape- shifters could turn into another form aside their human form.

"No, it is not the same, this kind of injuries is difficult to treat." Lana explained. "Beast for us is like a spirit."

"Then, how could you hurt the spirit? It doesn't have a form." Hope didn't understand this logic. If you don't have a constitution, how someone could hurt you?

But, Hope was thinking in her human logic while the matter in front of her was not something that human could comprehend easily.

"Spirit could be hurt. It is like a human's feeling. The feeling doesn't need to take any form, but you will still feel the pain." Lana gave the analogy of this case.

"I think you are right…" Hope nodded her head in agreement. "Does this mean someone hurt his feeling?"

"No, it is not someone else. It is Kace who hurt himself." Lana rummaged her brain to find an easy way to explain this.

"Wait, I don't understand…" Hope straightened her posture and tied up her hair into a messy bun. "Why does he hurt himself?"

"This is an incomplete story that I got from Serefina." Lana stared at the door, afraid if Kace suddenly made an appearance.

Even Serefina had warned her to never mention this story.

"Do you know about the curse of Donovan brother?" Lana shifted her attention toward Hope.

"I know." Of course she did. Hope had been discussing that information about Donovan's curse with the sibling over two years when Kace chose to leave her without any news. "They were cursed for being mateless for their entire eternity."

"Right." Lana nodded.

"But, the moon goddess had lifted the curse because they had done a good deed and here I am!" Hope opened her arms widely as a bright smile appear on her lips. She loved this fact to the bone!

Lana gave her a wry smile when she talked again. "But did you know what the deed that they had done to receive the curse?"
