The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 477 - I HAVE A DATE

"Oh, in that case I will get angry every day." Hope rolled her eyes and pouted her lips.

"But, I loved your smile better." Kace leaned over and kissed her temple right in front of the house. "Don\'t kick me, okay."

After that, Kace moved away from Hope as if the girl would throw a punch because of what he did. Well, it was nearly impossible, as he had kissed her for over seventeen years.

"Come here, I will give you a good slap across your silly face." Hope gritted her teeth, she was unsure, whether she was shy because of the kiss or she wanted to stop herself from smiling.

"Uuu… my little girl is very fierce, she has grown up!" his laugh was getting louder upon seeing Hope was annoyed by his teasing.

"Come here, you bad wolf!" Hope didn\'t know since when Kace was being such a tease like this. She remembered Kace like an older brother to her.

At least until she reached thirteen years old, because after Hope knew about all the mate things, she could feel it that she saw him differently.

However, Kace now, was expressing his affection freely. As if he had been waiting for this moment for long time, which was true.

Hope was seventeen years old now, it wouldn\'t be awkward if Kace wooed her.

"Date me." Kace said in his deep voice, the moment he caught Hope and pulled her into a tight hug until she couldn\'t move to kick or hit him again.

"Why should I?" though she questioned him, but she already hugged the lycan back. Relishing the moment when the spark dancing on her skin. This feeling was magical.

"Because I am handsome, rich, affectionate, funny, reliable, you named it." Kace listed and it got a giggle from Hope.

"It has been a long time since I saw you shifted into your white wolf, I kind of miss him." Hope placed her chin against his chest as she looked at Kace expectantly.

"The wolf is tired, I will show you another time." Kace pushed her hair from her face. "Get ready, I will pick you up at four."

After saying that, Kace let go of her and Hope didn\'t really like the distance between them. "Why don\'t you come inside?"

Hope was confused, Kace usually would live in this house every time he came to visit her, but why now, since he decided to settle down, he chose to live in different place?

Actually, the only answer for her question was as clear as day if Hope wanted to know it badly, it was simply because she had grown up into a young beautiful woman with the right curves on her body and Kace was, after all, a man.

As Kace knew Hope quite well, he didn\'t think the girl would like his rush advanced.

Another reason was because there were a few things he had to handle and it would be more convenient if he lived alone for the meantime.

"I need to get the car from Ian\'s house." Kace stared the young girl in front of him, traced his eyes to the juncture of her slender neck, where he would mark her.

"Where will we go?" Hope casually asked, actually she didn\'t mind wherever Kace would bring her.

"Somewhere out of this village." Kace grinned when he watched a flash of surprise on her eyes.

"We will go out from this village?" It was a shocking idea. After years Hope was not allowed to go out because of the event three years ago, now Kace said he would take her somewhere out of this village.

"Is it okay?" Hope became concern, though she loved the idea to go to the city, but she didn\'t want to make another trouble for Kace. "Serefina wouldn\'t be upset?"

"I am with you." Kace said in matter of factly.

If last time Hope was gotten into trouble because she was trying to run away with her friends, now she was with Kace, meaning; it would relatively safe.

"Okay!" Hope literally jumped and hugged Kace before she rushed back toward her house giddily, grinning from ear to ear.

At this time, Kace hoped he could hear what his little mate was thinking.

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

"So, do you think that Maximus has something to do with black magic?" Sterling saw the ugly four lines of wounds on Kace\'s back.

"This is obviously not a poison, I will heal within weeks if it is." Kace put on his clothes again and turned to face his old friend.

"What did Serefina say about this?" Sterling crossed his arms as he leaned against the backrest of his chair.

Both of them were currently in the kitchen, enjoying a glass of coffee that Sophia made.

"We didn\'t have enough time to discuss this." Kace remembered their conversation was cut short because Hope barged in and pissed the witch with her innocent comment. "And now she is not around."

Since Hope had grown older, Serefina and Lana became more often to leave her alone. Actually, this made Kace worried, but apparently the protection that she left around the house, worked just fine.

"You have to find a way to know what kind of magic is that." Sterling glanced at the scar on Kace\'s neck, which wasn\'t covered by his clothes. "But, is it possible for Jedrek to allow his man to use dark magic on you?"

"I don\'t know." Kace shrugged as he stood up. "But, he has been trying to track my mate\'s whereabouts. To kill her." his tone turned darker when he said it.

"Where are you going?" Sterling frowned, seeing Kace was about to go.

"I have a date." Kace grinned and then yelled. "Ian! Where is my car key!?"
