"Hi, lovely…" Kace spoke to Hope in a delighted tone, his face shone brightly with excitement while his eyes were bloodshot red.
For a moment, Hope was stunned but then she realized what was going on. It had been very long since the last time Kace lost to his beast, but now, Hope was a hundred percent sure that Kace let his beast take over deliberately, since he didn't want to deal with an angry Hope.
"Not this again," Hope grumbled. It was lovely to see this side of Kace, but she needed his human side to think rationally at this time, as his beast would be more than happy to trap her here.
"You don't like to see me?" Kace folded his arms and scowled at her with a hurt expression. "I am disappointed. I am also Kace."
Well, that was true, but it was a little bit complicated to explain. However, right now Hope didn't want to talk with the lovely Kace.
"Nice to see you again, but I have something to do," Hope said, as she walked past Kace.
Yet, even before she could reach the door, Kace had already beat her to it and leaned his back against it. "I think I agree with my human side's decision this time."
"Which is?" Hope wouldn't back down from showing her stubborn side either.
"I don't think you can go to find the dwarf," Kace said firmly.
"I can go wherever I want to," Hope spoke in a stern voice. She folded her arms, mimicking Kace's gesture, because she didn't want to feel intimidated. "And I don't agree with whatever side of you that was telling me that you will continue this war just to keep me alive whatsoever."
"I will keep you alive at any cost." Kace seemed determined as if he didn't want to leave any room for negotiation from the way he spoke now.
"We can think about how to end this war first and how to keep me alive later," Hope said. It was ridiculous. There must be a way for them to survive this alive, right? The moon goddess wouldn't be so cruel to separate them, they just needed to find a way.
If ending the first war could make them be endowed with mates, then by ending this war the goddess of the moon would grant them with the same thing, right?
The Donovans just had a strong reaction upon this which clouded their judgment.
Unfortunately, they didn't think in that direction. "We can think about how to keep you alive now and end this war later," Kace said.
"If we didn't find a way to end this war soon, how will you keep me alive by letting those filthy creatures from hell running rampage in this world?" Hope spoke in a matter of fact tone. "Not to mention about the humans that have been chasing you down!" she said harshly.
They were no longer fighting the devils alone, but since the supernatural and the human worlds have collided, they had to fight both sides.
Humans didn't care about which side was good, they just know this as a war between the human and non- human sides.
That was all they could see in their eyes.
"We will figure that out eventually," Kace stopped smiling and looked at Hope hardly. "Do you think it is easy to accept a possibility of losing your mate?" he asked, his expression turned mad serious now.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'t-want-to-lose-you-(2)_51063601242364819 for visiting.
At this moment, Hope felt like she was talking to his human side instead of his beast side.
"The pull of mate bond you feel is not as strong as how we, the shifters usually feel." He gritted his teeth. "You will be sad if we are gone, but you can carry on with your life, but that wasn't the case for me… I have been waiting for you, for as long as my sanity could take.
"And after I finally found you, I spend my days cradling you in my arms, watching you grow up, hearing your incoherent words while you were still learning to utter a complete sentence, saw you take one little step after one and become a beautiful woman like now…
"I have never been so grateful in my entire life to be able to witness all of that, though I am not able to stay beside you every day of the year because I have to leave you in Serefina and Lana's care for your own safety. I will be forever grateful for that regardless, as not many shifters would be able to meet their mates at such a tender age.
"You don't even have any idea how much you mean for me and now I have to be tolerant when I have to lose you because of this shitty war?
"Hell! Even if they turn this world upside down, I will not care. As long as I can keep you by my side and ensure your safety, I will just close my eyes even if the devils want to burn all this down to the ground.
"I told you from the very start, I'm not really fond of being a part of this war," Kace finished voicing out what was in his mind, something that his human side wouldn't ever let his mate knew, since he had a lot of things to consider before telling the truth about how he felt about this war.
His human side's conscience wouldn't concede to say that he didn't care about the deaths of the people, out loud. However, his beast side didn't even give a tiny f*ck about it.
Meanwhile, Hope didn't know how to react upon hearing his confession. It sounded right from seeing this matter with his eyes, but at the same time, it was very wrong if she agreed with him.
"Kace, I will hate you if you think that way." It was not the Kace that she knew.
"You can hate me for the rest of eternity, as long as you are alive." Kace's red eyes turned sad, there was a small frown between his eyebrows, as if the thought of Hope hating him had already hurt him.
Hope placed her hand against his chest and closed her eyes, in order to think about this clearly.
However, the moment she opened them, she was not in the room, where she was with Kace a moment ago.
