THE LOVE OF A LYCAN

465 SIXTEEN YEARS OLD

These two people stuck with Hope in the same school and class. What to do? In this small village there were not many options that could choose.

Ever since Kace visited their house, they would complain to Hope that their parents wanted them to put their eyes on Hope, for 'protection' or some short.

Ian would say it was troublesome, but Hope knew he was more than willing to follow her around just to know about Kace Donovan.

Apparently Donovan's family was a well known family for their kind. Like a royal family if Hope didn't misinterpret it when the siblings explained to her.

"Nothing." Hope slammed the locker door shut with a loud bang sound.

Ian stared at Ethan who was startled as well, just like the rest of the students nearby. "She is really something," he muttered.

"Don't disturb her." Rossie came from the other side of the corridor, hugging her backpack as she gave a bottle of water for Ethan. "She has been upset because she found out Lana was talking to Kace again."

Ian raised his eyebrows. "Why he did that?"

This year Rossie came to the same high school as Hope and her two brothers, thus there was not any different from their middle school. It would always the four of them as they didn't mingle with the other student quite often.

The siblings caught up with Hope before they entered their class and sat down on the end of the table. Rossie come to join them because the bell has not rang.

"Why he called Lana, but not you?" Ian asked as he sat down on his seat next to Hope while Rossie took the seat in front of her.

"How should I know that?" Hope snapped at him, she was very upset.

The last time she met Kace was when she was sick, but Hope was not sure if Kace came that night, because the time she woke up, her fever had subsided and the annoying lycan had gone.

When Hope asked Lana, she didn't know about that and was pretty certain Kace didn't come. However, his presence was still lingered there…

Hope put her forehead against the table. "Are you sure that the mate couldn't separate with each other for too long?" She asked pitifully at Ian and Rossie while Ethan was reading his book, didn't want to get involve with Hope's love sick story.

"It should be like that…" Rossie gave some thought about it.

"But, he has been away for two years without any news! He called Lana occasionally, but not me!" Hope hissed through gritted teeth.

Maybe, it would be fine if there was no any news about Kace, but as it turned out, she caught Lana was talking with Kace a couple of time through the phone when he didn't even bother to call her.

"Am I really his mate?" Hope whined.

"What is it?" Rossie asked eagerly. She was always excited to know more about the progress of Hope's love line with Kace.

She always dreamed to have her own mate and the only person who has it that she knew, aside from her parents, was only Hope.

The younger siblings always thought it was romantic, well, Hope also thought the same until Kace left her for two years straight.

"I heard, the Donovan brothers were cursed for not having a mate for the rest of the eternity." Ethan said in confusion look. "But, if that is the case, then what is you?"

This piece of information didn't light up Hope's mood at all. "Maybe I am a mistake." She said sullenly.

"That must be not true." Rossie frowned, holding her arms in front of her chest. "Hope feels the spark every time they are making skin to skin contact."

Ethan shrugged his shoulder. "I am just saying what I heard."

Right at that time, the bell rang and Rossie sprinted out of the class to go to her classroom and when the bell stopped ringing, a woman, who Hope knew very well for her life, was walking into the room.

It was Lana.

Great!

As if it was not enough for Hope to see her inside the house, she had to see her inside the school too. This was one of Serefina's great plans.

Lana worked as an art teacher in this high school ever since Hope enrolled as the high school student. However, Lana didn't seem enjoy this job either, she wasn't a social person, thus becoming a teacher that should deal with a lot of students was something that annoyed her.

Actually, Serefina had told her this role ever since Hope was still in the middle school, but for some reason there was a change of plan.

Hope propped her head with her hand as she scribbled absentmindedly while listening to Lana's boring voice for the next one and half hour.

==============

When the last class has ended, every face inside the class suddenly lit up and came into alive, not like their boring state a few minutes ago.

It happened to Hope as well, though there was nothing she could do once she reached home, she was still a normal student who would prefer the life out of school.

Usually, Hope would come to the siblings' house, played a few game with them before Lana would pick her up from there.

Maybe it was Kace, but apparently Serefina didn't object when Hope befriended with them, or probably just like Kace, Serefina also knew Ian's parents…

"Hi, Hope…" A boy's voice greeted her and Hope gave him a faint smile.

Hope knew him. He was Oliver, their senior. "Yes?"

"I wonder if you want to go with me, there is new…" his sentences cut short when Ian chimed in.

"Then keep wondering."
