The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 412 - THEY ARE DEAD

"I will not kill him if I could." Kace took off his shirt and wipe off the blood on his injured shoulder as he changed it with the new one that he took from inside the bag from the car.

The moment he was shirtless, one could see that the big open wound started to cave in as his skin slowly closed.

The healing ability of Lycan was always remarkable.

"So, you will let him to bite your hand off?" Serefina didn\'t appreciate Kace\'s decision, though she had figured out why he didn\'t want to kill the creature. The witch thought his reason was very ridiculous.

"I can chase him away without killing him." Kace put on black shirt the moment his wound stop bleeding.

"Yeah, I can see how he would have done that before you would do anything about the situation." Serefina spoke sarcastically. "You are getting slow."

"There is nothing I could do in these past long decades of my life. Maybe I have to go under some training again." Kace made sure he was clean before he extended his arms to take Hope from Serefina. "My senses kind of dull."

"That\'s because you always avoid conflict." Serefina gave the baby to Kace as Hope squalled happily by the sight of him.

"Why should I bother myself to face trouble?" Kace frowned, but it didn\'t last for long, because as soon as Hope\'s lovely face entered his line of sight, a broad smile tugged on his lips.

"That\'s why you can\'t be the Alpha." Serefina snorted. "You are too soft and ignorance."

Actually Kace wasn\'t like this before the great war occurred, but he started to act this way when it was ended. Probably the sickly scene of the bloody war has something to do with his change of behavior.

"Did I ever wish to be one?" Kace gave the witch disapproving look as he tossed the car key to Serefina. "You drive, I am hurt."

Since both of his brothers led their own pack in different realm, he didn\'t find in him the desire to lead something or took huge responsibility over many lives.

It was too troublesome and to be an Alpha was out of an option for him.

Serefina groaned and opened the car door as she sat behind the steering wheel agitatedly.

However, after strapped Hope back onto her safety seat, Kace didn\'t immediately climb on the car as he looked at the girl impassively.

The poor little girl was just standing a few meters away from them, staring at the dead body of the snake shifter with her unwavering eyes.

"You! Get on the car!" Kace snarled at the girl as he held the door next to Serefina opened.

Both Serefina and the girl were staring at Kace with wide eyes, disbelief flashed on those eyes, yet with different intention.

"It is enough for you to help her! Don\'t tell me that you actually want to take her with us!?" Serefina didn\'t even bother if her voice reached the girl\'s ears when she approached them.

"I will take her with us." Kace gave her an affirmative answer as he kept holding the car door opened.

Regardless the girl heard it or not, she didn\'t show it on her expression as she inched closer toward Kace.

"Get in the car!" Kace snarled at her once again as a deep frown appeared on his forehead.

Once the girl was inside the car, she hastily buckled herself, afraid that Kace would change his mind and left her alone to fend herself.

She didn\'t want to encounter creature like that again. She didn\'t think that she would be able to escape something like that again next time or was lucky enough to have someone was helping her just in time.

???I don\'t like you to join this car." Serefina said distastefully, because she couldn\'t say anything to make Kace changed his mind. Well, she knew him too well to know that little fact.

"Don\'t mind me." The girl replied to Serefina briefly, she didn\'t even look the witch in her eyes as. "That big guy who asked me to join, if you have any complain, you can tell him."

Both Serefina and Kace raised their eyebrows at her snarky comments as they lost for words.

The girl didn\'t think there was something wrong with the way she talked. All this while, she had been defending herself and started to get used to talk whatever passed her mind without thinking about it twice.

"You have such a gall, girl." Kace stated.

Actually, he didn\'t really care about the girl\'s behavior, because her antics reminded him of Serefina. However, the witch wouldn\'t take that lightly.

"Talk to me like that again and I will throw you out of this car." Serefina growled menacingly.

The girl stared at Serefina, but before she could say anything, the witch had flicked her fingers as blue fire appeared on the tip of her forefinger.

"Stop agitating her. There is a baby inside and she needs to sleep." Kace groaned as he tried his best to make the witch stop her action to burn down the girl.

After all, Kace was injured because of her and if Serefina decided to demolish her, all of his effort would pour down the drain.

Serefina took the girl silence as the sign that she understood her position and started the engine.

The car growl to live and they went toward their direction. Apparently, they would be behind the schedule.

"What\'s your name?" Kace asked after twenty minutes of silence.

"Lana." The girl said almost immediately.

"Why are you out there alone?" Kace checked on Hope and readjust her blanket.

"Because my whole family is dead."
