Chapter 533: Get lost!
Chapter 533: Get lost!
"I dare you to say it again!!!" Abby was furious, she strode to approach Hope, but Leon was faster to grab her shoulder and pulled her back. "LET ME GO!"
"Stop it!" Leon warned his sister.
"Yeah, stop it," Hope said in mocking tone. "Don't you see? Kace is sleeping right now. You are bothering us."
One encounter was enough for Hope to reach an understanding of that Abby and her, would never be in good term. Ever.
"So you prefer someone else than your own sister? Are you on her side now?" Abby was beyond upset by the way Leon treated her.
"Now I know why you wanted to board onto this ship." Leon glared at her. "You're wasting our time, we should've gone back to the southeast right after the festival ended."
Abby knew, but she accidentally heard a conversation between some elder witches about the Lycan. Apparently, there were a few lycans which had crossed this realm, some of them before the festival and some of it during the festival.
Lycans were common to cross the northern coven realm, but since they mentioned about Lycan from Donovan's blood line, Abby knew right away that must be Kace.
His peculiar energy had a strange vibe once he stepped inside this realm, therefore, those eldest witches were able to pinpoint his location.
It was strange to know that the lycan was visiting the candlemaiden house.
But, of course Abby wouldn't mention anything about this to her brother. Leon was never taking her side about this.
"To be late two or three days will not change anything." Abby puffed, crossing her arms in front of her chest defensively.
"If only I knew this, I will not follow you onto this ship." Leon sighed regretfully.
"Then you will taste the wrath of father." Abby retorted defiantly.
"Let's see, who will get the wrath of father once he finds out about the truth, that you have been tailing a lycan?" Leon challenged her.
"Great!" Hope's voice was slightly above a whisper, but her tone was very harsh. "But, can you have this conversation somewhere else, please? Someone here is trying to get some rest." Hope didn't care with the hard glare that Abby threw to her direction as her eyes focused on Leon, this man was easier to talk to.
Frown on Leon's lips disappeared and rather replaced by a tender smile, seeing how Hope handled the situation.
"Sure, I am sorry for disturbing the both of you." Leon nodded his head slightly as gestured to his sister to go with him.
However, it was very silly of her to ignore her brother's gesture and tried to approach Hope again.
"Don't you know that I am his mate!?" Abby squinted her eyes at Hope.
Leon, literally, slapped his forehead. How embarrassing that statement is?! He didn't know whether Hope knew what the meaning of 'mate' or not, but seeing her surprised expression, followed by her chirpy laugh, he realized that Kace had told her about this matter. He felt bad for his sister.
"Oh, really?! I don't know if Kace has two mates?" Hope sneered after she laughed loudly. "Aside from me…" She raised her chin proudly as she threw that fact to Abby's face.
"Mate?" Abby raised her eyebrow questioningly. "Are you kidding me?" she laughed wryly. "Donovans don't have mates."
At least, that was what Abby knew. The curse that they bear was not a secret anymore to anyone. Thus, when Hope said she was Kace's mate, it was a silly joke in her eyes, despite not long ago she was the one to claim herself as Kace's mate.
"Oh, really?" Hope mimicked Abby's expression, "But, you just said you are his mate? So, what is that? A false claim?"
This time, Leon was the one who laughed. "Nice!" he raised both of his thumbs for Hope, disregarding his own sister was fuming mad beside him.
Hope furrowed her brows, staring at Leon in confusion. If Kace didn't tell her, she wouldn't know that both of them were siblings, because seeing how Leon helped her to mock Abby, no one would believe he was the older brother.
"Leon! Shut up!" Abby stomped her feet angrily, but this only made Leon laughed harder.
"QUIET!"
A harsh voice made Abby jerked away and Leon stopped laughing, even Hope shrieked. Kace, who was lying on her laps had sat down and glowered at Abby.
"Ka… ce…" Abby stammered and if Hope was not in shock, she would find Abby's reaction was funny.
"GET LOST!"
Only now they realized that the color of Kace's eyes were not blue, but they were black, pitch black.
Even Leon found Kace's strong rejection was odd. He knew Kace disliked Abby, but he had never acted so aggressive like this and those eyes… they shined with hostility.
"Kace, are you okay?" Leon pulled Abby behind his back as his body, out of instinct, leaned over in defense.
"TAKE THAT BITCH AWAY FROM ME!"
Hope flinched. No matter how angry Kace was, he had never cursed someone like this before. What happened to him?
Leon looked at Hope, his eyes reflected the same confusion like her.
'Go…' Hope mouthed at him, despite she didn't know what was going on with Kace, but it would be the best for the sibling to leave this scene. Apparently, the beast within Kace had taken control.
"Alright…" Leon threw another worry glance at Hope, but the girl nodded her head determinedly. "Let's go."
Leon took Abby along with him on his side, as he walked towards the stairs that would bring them to the first deck. As they walked Leon glanced, a couple of time, over his shoulder toward Kace, who was still had his eyes on their back.
This time, fortunately, Abby didn't struggle to refuse his brother, she was too shocked to discern the way Kace talked to her earlier. He was too harsh!
After Abby and Leon left them alone, Kace turned his body and fixed his black eyes on Hope.
For some reason, Hope feared the way Kace was staring at her now. "Kace…?"
"Yes, my lovely…" Kace smiled as he leaned over and kissed her on the lips.
