Chapter 493: Restless kace
"I know about the festivity."Kace said lightly. "It will happen two weeks from now." it was the same time as the gathering that would happen in the northern coven.
The reason why Abby and Leon were here and roamed around in the Kingstone city, away from the place where they belonged.
"Oh, I didn't come at the festival before because I was sick." Hope looked at Kace. "Can we go to the festival together?"
"I don't think that will be a good idea," Kace mumbled. "There will be a lot of creatures there and I don't like the vampires."
Rumor said it that the witches and the vampire had work on making an affiliation between the two kinds. Thus, it was common to see Vampires near the territories of the witches or otherwise.
"Do you think that woman is a vampire?" Ian asked Kace while they were walking toward their class.
"How should I know? You are the one who saw that woman." Kace put his arms around Hope's shoulder, felt a little bit tense because there was another creature set their eyes on his mate. "Don't go anywhere alone, even inside the school."
Hope wanted to reject that idea. She didn't think it was a big problem, she just mentioned it because of her curiosity only, probably Kace knew about the woman.
However, her refusal died down on her throat when she watched how rigid Kace's facial expression. He took this matter seriously.
Then, instead of becoming a stubborn child, Hope agreed to ease Kace's agitation. "Okay."
==============
It has been two days since Hope and Ian saw that woman and she never appeared again. At this point, Hope only thought there was nothing to be worried about.
Yet, Kace had different thought. He always picked and dropped Hope, despite Kace didn't come into the house, but he would always make sure that he wouldn't go until Hope reached the terrace and entered the house.
He became a little bit more possessive and overprotective.
Hope didn't mind it at all, she loved to have him near her, but she couldn't help her curiosity. "What really happened? You look more tense than usual. "
They were inside Lana's car while the owner would go home alone, Hope didn't know how she reached home, but she assumed Lana would go in her beast form.
Since it was Lana's car, no one would be suspicious that it was Kace who drives the car and not Lana.
"Nothing in particular." Kace turned the car into the garage and parked there.
"No, there is something happened right? I can see it on your expression." Hope didn't want him to tell her a lie. "There." she raised her hand and pointed the furrow between Kace's eyebrows.
"There is nothing to be worried about." Kace unbuckled his seatbelt.
"Is it about the woman that I saw a few days ago?" Hope didn't to let go of this topic. "It is about her, right?"
Kace sighed when he had to face his stubborn mate, but then he nodded. "Yes."
"I never saw her again." Hope leaned against Kace's big palm, which cupped the side of her face, she liked his touch and the spark that erupted between them whenever they made skin to skin contact. "Maybe what Ian said was true, she just passed by because of the upcoming festival of this village attracted many other creatures."
"That is another problem. I don't like it when those creatures gather together here." Especially when they were creatures that did not get along pretty well with the shape shifters.
"You can't help it, if I am not mistaken, this village is within their territory, right? We are the outsider here." Hope shrugged her shoulder. "I wonder how the festival will turn out."
"You will not go anywhere Hope." Kace climbed out of the car and opened the car door for her. "You will not go the festival which surrounded by dangerous creatures."
Hope pouted her lips, "You are a dangerous creature, why is it fine for me to be near you?" she asked sullenly.
"Because I am your mate, you silly girl." Kace chuckled and kissed her temple.
"Boyfriend." Hope corrected. "It is weird to hear that."
"And it is weird to hear the word 'boyfriend' when I know all I want is to spend the rest of my existence with you," Kace retorted.
Hope rolled her eyes upon hearing that sweet declaration, but she knew in Kace's case that was probably true, as the lycan wouldn't be together with someone who wasn't their mate.
The lycan who rejected their mate and chose someone else was unheard. At least that was what Ian told Hope.
However, Hope really wanted to see the festival. The last time it was happening, she was sick and only could hear the exciting story from the siblings.
"But, why Ian, Ethan and Rossie could attend the festival? They are werewolf and I am human." 'Guardian angel in human skin' that was how Lana called her.
"We are, indeed, not in good terms with them, but it is not necessary for us to bite their head off once we see one. As long as there is no confrontation, everything will be fine." Kace took Hope's hand and led her toward the house.
"You will come inside?" Hope raised her eyebrows, after days Kace acted as if he didn't want to take a step inside, now he was very eager to enter the house.
"I want to make sure, the witch will be here when the festival is happening," Kace replied as they entered the house and the lycan started to pinpoint Serefina's position based on her scent.
She was inside her room.
"Take a rest." Kace tousled her hair and gave her a brief smile before he walked toward Serefina's bedroom.
"Why is he very anxious?" Hope mumbled to herself when Kace disappeared from her line of sight.
"Hope, can we talk for a while?" Lana's voice startled Hope as she suddenly poked her head from her bedroom, which the door next to where Hope was standing.
