THE LOVE OF A LYCAN

Chapter 950: Hope's determination

For a moment, Raine forgot her pique toward Torak, as they hurriedly walked toward the room where Kace and Hope were staying in.

Through mind- link, Kace told Torak that Hope had fainted all of a sudden and didn't explain further as he was too panicked. He just asked for Torak to come.

On the other hand, Raine could feel that something was wrong with Hope and insisted to come over along with Torak to see Hope's current condition.

In this case, Torak couldn't refuse her. He didn't want to aggravate Raine even more by preventing her from seeing Hope, moreover if Hope lost consciousness all of a sudden, maybe Raine would be able to tell what happened to her, since they both were guardian angels, there must be some connection between them.

Therefore, here they were, already walking through the door to Kace and Hope's room. Even the atmosphere felt tense when they entered, as they could see Sybil standing beside the large bed where Kace sat, cradling Hope in his arms.

From his brother's expression, Torak could see that Sybil was not able to do anything to wake the former's mate up.

"What happened to her?" Raine immediately sat down on the edge of the bed, next to Hope with Torak beside her.

"She fainted all of a sudden," Kace said grimly, his eyes were red, as he clenched his jaw tightly. "I don't know what happened, we were having an argumentation…" his voice became tight when he spoke about it.

And Raine didn't need to ask to know what they were arguing about, she had this gut feeling that it must be the same thing like what Raine and Torak had discussed not too long ago…

"Maybe you have aggravated her too far," Raine said lightly as she held Hope's hand, it was warm and she looked like someone, who just fell asleep, without any indication and whatsoever that she was in pain. "After all, despite being a guardian angel, we are just humans… you know, you enraged her and she couldn't handle it."

Raine didn't know why she said that, but she just wanted Kace to feel bad. It surprised her that she was holding a grudge toward Kace for what he did to Torak a week ago and now she knew that the three brothers were in this together, thus she couldn't help herself from being a little bit snarky with her comments.

"Impossible," Kace murmured, unsure. "She was angry, but I don't think she was feeling under pressure until she fainted."

Kace and Hope were used to having a few quarrels here and there ever since she learned how to talk, therefore he knew a little bit argumentation wouldn't cause her to feel this aggravated, right?

Raine shrugged her shoulders. "A lot of things happened recently. You can't say it for sure. Maybe the pressure is too much for her to handle."

Torak squeezed his mate's shoulder when she said that, indicating for her not to say such a thing, it sounded like she was jinxing herself. "So, what happened to her?" Torak turned his attention toward the witch, who came with Jedrek. He didn't want to hear Raine talking that way, she sounded more like Serefina when she did that.

Sybil shook her head. "Honestly, I don't know what is going on with her, she doesn't look like she was sick or she is under some kind of dark magic or curse."

When Kace heard that, he couldn't help but thinking of the worst. "What if this is the devils doing? Raine fainted at that onetime too, right?"

Raine stayed silent as she stared at Hope, contemplating.

"It is different, the devil was there when that happened," Torak replied.

"But, Hope could do something to make her conscious again, maybe you can do the same thing to her," Kace said, looking at Raine expectantly.

Raine shook her head. "We have different powers and I can't do something that she could." And otherwise, Hope wouldn't be unable to stop the time like how Raine could. "Has she ever been like this before?"

Kace thought about it for a moment and he remembered something. "Yes," he said. "It was the time when she talked to me." The time when Hope met with his innerself for the first time.

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

"I don't want you to die," Kace said softly, his tears streamed down his cheeks again as he sobbed pitifully. "I want you to live."

How could she be angry with him when he was being like this? She could argue with Kace when he was so stubborn to force his own idea, but this time, he showed her his vulnerable state.

"I will live." Hope cupped his face and kissed both of his cheeks. "I will live and we will win the war, so you have to help me."

Kace looked at Hope for a few seconds longer before he shook his head. "No, they said you will die in order for us to win the war."

Hope bit her lips, not really knowing what she could say to him, since she was also not sure about their future, but…

"I have died before in the northern coven realm, Raine had died before, but Torak brought her back to life and Jedrek had killed Lilac too," Hope spoke softly. "And, against all odds, here we are, still breathing and alive."

Kace looked at Hope hardly and she knew she could convince him.

"Don't fret, no matter what's going to happen or how far I go, I will try my best to return to you…" Hope didn't know how she got this kind of belief and where she found those kind of words, but she just believed it.

They would be together.

As if there was someone that guided her, and as if she had done this before, Hope stood up. She knew what she had to do.

"Please, I want you to go back," Hope said, as she looked around her.

"Will you come back with me?" Kace stood up as well.

"Not now, there is something that I have to do first," she said.
