Chapter 415 A WARNING
415 A WARNING
"You trust her easily." Serefina brewed two cup of coffee and gave it one for Kace.
"I don't." He took the cup and ran his fingers on the edge of it. "But, I know she didn't lie." When she talked about her past. He didn't voice out the last part.
Kace has his own way to know when people lied to his face.
"When you will get over with it? It had been centuries since the war." Serefina grumbled as she sat down on the couch beside him. "I don't understand you."
Kace let out a dark chuckle as he gave her a wink. "Don't worry, you are not the only one."
"I heard your voice last night." Serefina blew her hot coffee slowly.
The question sounded harmless, but it managed to drop his calm mask from his usual easy- going demeanor.
It was only a handful people who knew about this thing and, unfortunately, Serefina was one of the 'that people'.
Voice, wasn't a right word to use for what the witch heard last night, the wailing sound that she heard was so loud, sharp and short, it was actually woke her up.
Out of the three Donovan, the great war had taken a toll on Kace more than his other brothers' had.
More or less, Serefina knew what the reason, but she needed to confirm it just to be one hundred percent sure about her theory.
"You can't leave in the future if the sin from the past keeps weighing you down." The witch commented casually.
Kace shut his mouth and didn't have anything to say for the next ten minute that filled with silence between them until a light steps could be heard in the corridors.
"Morning." Lana rubbed her sleepy eyes as her voice sounded like a grumble, as if the day had come early and upset her because she needed time to sleep more.
None of the Lycan and witch who replied at her greeting, yet the little girl didn't mind it in the slightest as she started to roam around the kitchen and made breakfast for the three of them.
In reality, there was nothing that she could find except a box of oatmeal that was enough for the three of them.
A moment later, three bowls of oatmeal were served before their eyes. Lana took a seat in front of Kace on the bar stool kitchen and enjoyed the breakfast, didn't care about the stares that she received from the two people in front of her.
"Well, I think you have a little bit useful now." Serefina spooned the oatmeal and brought it to her lips before she smelled it first.
"I think I will drop you to the nearby pack on my way." Kace murmured against his oatmeal.
Lana dropped her spoon and stared wide eyes at Kace. "Why?!" Her question came out harsher than she intended to. "I have pledge my loyalty to you."
Kace waved his hand, dismissing that statement. "I don't accept that, don't you know how the loyalty work? I am not an Alpha and I don't have a pack to run, neither I intended to have one."
Lana scrunched her nose in disgust as she retorted. "You told me about it before and though I don't believe it that one of the Donovan is in front of me right now, eating a bowl of oatmeal that I made, I still pledge my loyalty to you." She said with determination.
This time it was Kace turned to drop his spoon, the way Lana talked about him as if he was some kind of magnificent being that fell from his grace.
This girl sure had a sharp tongue like the witch.
"You saved me. That was enough reason for me to follow you." Lana resumed eating her breakfast, leaving no room for argumentation.
"Wow." Serefina widened her eyes, amused by the girl's attitude and the way she handle the conversation with Kace. "I think I like her a little now."
Serefina was always a fan of this kind of behavior; bold, fearless and resolute. Just like her.
Kace groaned. "You like her just because she managed to upset me."
"No, actually if she promises to take care of everything that I don't have time to handle, I will consider accepting her as my apprentice." Serefina shrugged her shoulder. "Especially, if I will always have breakfast every morning."
Lana glared at the witch, but it didn't cease the pompous smile that etched on her lips.
"I don't follow your order." Lana growled.
"Such a hot blood you are…" Serefina clicked her tongue, but there was not hostility in her tone. "I bet you will change that statement in the near future."
"I will not test that statement if I were you." Kace raised his bowl and finished the oatmeal in one go before he raised on his feet and strolled out of the kitchen. "I will check on Hope."
The baby supposed to be awake at this hour.
Lana tilted her head and stared at the retreating back of the character in her fairytale. "Why he is so inclined toward the baby?"
This was something that Lana couldn't understand and as the young blood of the shifter, her curiosity got the best of her before the warning from Serefina came.
"Don't try to find out about it if he doesn't explain anything to you." Serefina also finished her bowl and stood up. "He has a bipolar personality, but I will assure you that he will kill you without much of hesitation the moment he sees you as a threat for the baby."
