414 ENJOYING THE MOMEN
"I heard the supreme Alpha had his own people to come and deal with this issue." Lana responded to Kace dissatisfied tone. "But it takes longer time because our pack is fairly remote territory of his."
Supreme Alpha…
The title made Kace thought about his second brother and the moment when they were together, leaving inside the castle with their parents.
It was a distance memory now… once that Kace rarely visited again.
"Eat this." Kace handed a sandwich to Lana.
The girl didn't need to be offered twice as she munched on it eagerly and the sight tugged something in Kace's heart that he hated to admit it.
Well, but Kace had to say that the girl was a strong one, physically and mentally. She managed to survive this far on her own, as expected of the high rank born.
And with Lana ended her story about the Donovan's fairytale, the rest of their journey was filled with silence, there was only rare occasion when Hope would wake up and cry or did her business as a baby…
==============
Just like how Kace and Serefina had expected, they arrived in the mystic river village almost very late at night and the two girls were sleeping.
The baby on the back seat pouted her lips and clenched her fist around her brown teddy bear while the girl in the front seat curled her body in fetal position, but the moment the car engine was stopped grumbling, her eyes snapped opened. The sharp gaze on her brown eyes skimmed her surrounding in alert.
Kace was way too familiar with that gesture. She had been in constant danger before this, of course her sense grew tenth times better.
"We are here." Kace stopped her wondering- confusion look and opened the car door to retrieve Hope from her infant safety seat as Serefina had half- way toward a foyer of the house in front of them.
Her house.
Kace expected not less than this fancy building from the witch. For as long as he could see, this was the most exquisite house that he had seen in this village.
Such a bold building…
Mystic river village was a village at the foot of the mountain that surrounded by trees and forest.
Two hundred years ago, when the last time Kace was in this village, the people here would believe that they should make human sacrifice to appease the God of the mountain.
Well, Kace laughed hard at that bullsh*t, because he knew it better that those odd belief had something to do with the people in northern coven.
The other realm behind the forest of that pine trees. The sacred and forbidden place for the villagers.
In the past, Kace didn't have to be worried about that, but now when the witch determined for his mate to live here, of course this issue would be his concern.
"It's okay." Kace didn't give the backpack to Lana as he strode into the house.
Apparently, the witch had kept this place clean even after so long. Magically.
"There are five rooms. You can use any room that you want." Serefina strode into the room on the first room near the living room. "But, don't ever knock on my door or disturb me if there is nothing important."
The witch yawn and slammed shut the door. This long trip was really taking toll on her, so did Kace.
With baby Hope in his arms, he sniffed the air and strode toward the second bedroom on the left side of the house.
"You hear her. Find your own room." With that was being said, Kace sauntered across the living room toward the direction of his bedroom, leaving the bewildered Lana alone.
Just like that? They were leaving her there alone just like that?
The little girl stared at the entrance door that still opened wide. She couldn't help but frown by the two people ignorance.
Whether it was the two of them were too strong, so they feared nothing, or they were just too reckless to begin with.
But, Lana inclined to the former reason.
Leaving the door opened was an invitation for unwanted guest to come, but knowing what kind of the unwanted guest that would come to chase people like Serefina and Kace, Lana thought a single door wouldn't stop them.
Thus, it was only a futile attempt to seek for safety behind the close door.
Nonetheless, Lana strode toward the door, closed and locked it before she turned around to take this beautiful house into her eyes. It had been long time for her to sleep well, on a real bed.
Maybe this time, she could have it…
==============
"Are you going to let her stay?" Serefina crossed her arms as her expression turned dark.
The sun barely reached the horizon when Kace and Serefina were having their own discussion inside the kitchen.
"She can help you." Kace yawned and stretched his body as a satisfying cracking sound could be heard from his bones.
"Like what? Cleaning the room?" Serefina raised her eyebrows. "Or, taking care of your mate? I wouldn't mind for the last one."
Kace frowned when Serefina mentioned it. He took a pity on the little girl, but not trusted her enough to take care of Hope.
"Don't you dare to leave them both." Kace spoke in threatening tone.
Serefina didn't seem to care as she shrugged her shoulder. "You will be away to know that." There was a surprised look on Kace's expression, but before he could say anything, Serefina had cut him off. "One visit for every year. That is our deal." She reminded him.
Kace's eyes hardened as he clenched his jaw and talked through his gritted teeth. "You seem to really enjoy separating a mate."
