Chapter 469 PRUDE
469 PRUDE
At least, she hoped she knew before this feeling became more unbearable.
"Lana, did you know Kace will come back today? He becomes a substitute of Mr. Wentworth." Hope followed Lana inside their house.
"No, I don't know." Lana shook her head as she went inside her bedroom with Hope followed behind her just like a lost puppy. "I think Serefina also didn't know about this."
"Yes, I can see how angry she was." Hope plopped down on Lana's bed and hugged her pillow. "Why he come back? If he takes a job as a teacher in our school, then it means he will not go in the near future, right?"
The possibility of Kace wouldn't roam around outside world and would stay for longer time, excited her, though Hope wouldn't admit it.
"It depends." Lana changed her clothes to tee shirt and jeans, her everyday outfit.
"What do you mean?" Hope frowned, already dislike the idea of the possibility Kace would go again.
"The fact that Kace returns out of the blue, he must have plan on his own. It depends if he could convince Serefina. Or…" Lana pulled her backpack from under her bed.
"Or?" Hope followed Lana's movement with her eyes.
"Or… whether Serefina will agree or not, Kace will stay anyway." Lana shrugged her shoulder. "You know right, both of them are stubborn."
"Yeah. It's hard to live with them." Hope nodded.
"You are stubborn too." Lana glanced at her and took the backpack with her to stuff some clothes inside.
"I am not." Hope pouted. Well, sometime she was stubborn, but not all the time like the two of them. "Where are you going?"
Lana was rearranging her things as if she would go for days. It had been a while since Lana had gone for a secret mission that Serefina gave to her since she worked as an art teacher.
"I have to go somewhere." Lana said without turning her back.
"That stupid mission again?" Hope scoffed. She disliked it when they had to leave her alone in this house. Sometime, Hope would come over to the siblings house and stayed overnight there.
Lana chuckled when she heard that. "Serefina will tell you off if she heard how you address her task."
"It's alright, she is with Kace now." Hope also laughed lightly. "I wonder what they are talking about."
==============
"I thought you will tell me off or at least throw one or two fireballs." Kace grinned when Serefina was only staring dagger at him since five minute ago.
He was looking at Serefina while running his hand on the surface of the window, inside Serefina's bedroom.
"No, I want to kill you now!" Serefina glowered. "What the hell do you think you are doing here?!"
Serefina raised her eyebrows. "What have you done to them?"
Kace shook his head. "I hurt Maximus."
Maximus was the lycan who had been tracking him down for centuries and failed in every attempt as this world was very big and he just worked alone.
Maximus only had two missions, find Kace's mate and killed her or dragged the younger brother of Donovan back to their realms.
Since it involved Kace, thus Maximus only paid attention toward Kace. He always thought as long as he found Kace, he would find his mate too.
"Explain to me what do you mean with hurt?" Serefina narrowed her eyes. "Normal 'hurt' will not bedridden a lycan." She said in matter of fact tone.
"Let's say I put him only an inch away from his death bed." Kace still talked lightly, but his eyes flickered with uneasiness. He didn't like the fact he almost killed Maximus, though that person did nothing but hunted him down all the time.
"Oh, wow!" Serefina raised an eyebrow sarcastically. "Finally you come to your senses."
"Don't say it like I want to kill him." Kace narrowed his eyes at her. "I don't have a choice."
Serefina didn't interest with what he was saying. "So, why do you think, no one will come after you?"
Kace walked to Serefina's bed, but she glared at him. She didn't like someone sat down on her bed. "Because Maximus is Jedrek trusted person." Kace plopped down on the couch near the bed, looked exhausted. "Jedrek will not give the task to kill my mate to other lycan and take the risk that more people know about the prophecy, about the Donovan will mate with guardian angel."
Kace knew Jedrek was too prideful to have a guardian angel as his mate. He despised them. He just hoped the moment his brother met his mate, he wouldn't do anything stupid.
But then he looked at Serefina. It was such a pity that they couldn't be together. It was only when with Serefina when his brother looked normal.
"I think he will wait until Maximus recover." Kace added as he leaned against the backrest and closed his eyes.
"Something happened to you right?" Serefina's green lime eyes scrutinized the lycan's body and her brows furrowed. "You are dying."
Kace opened his eyes and rolled them incredulously. "Don't exaggerate the situation I am just injured, not dying."
Apparently his battle with Maximus had affected Kace as well. During the fight, he couldn't let his beast took control completely. He was hesitated and didn't want to lose it to his bloodlust instinct. Therefore it led to this.
"Your spirit beast is injured." Serefina corrected herself.
"Hm." Kace nodded. "That is one of my reason to recuperate here."
"Let's see, how bad your wound." Serefina sat down beside him.
Kace frowned. "It's on my back. I have to take off my clothes."
Serefina rolled her eyes. "Don't act prude. Take it off!"
