Chapter 428 - SEVEN YEARS OLD (2)

Ever since, Serefina couldn\'t use the same reason why she demanded for Kace to visit Hope only once a year, this crazy lycan kept coming at least once a month.

They were in the heart of Torak\'s territory and under the protection of her spell as well, thus it would be more lenient for Kace to meet Hope regularly.

Knowing Torak\'s temper, Jedrek\'s people would be more carefully around this red river city.

Moreover, it had been decades since both brothers were talking with each other, thus it wouldn\'t be pretty if there were dispute over trespassing the other territory.

"Wolf!" Hope practically threw her backpack and jumped onto Kace\'s arms.

"My little Hope!" ignoring the witch\'s complain, Kace squeezed Hope\'s small body, feeling the warmth that radiated from her and relishing her scent.

However, he felt there was something wrong.

Kace sat down and put her on his laps as he scrutinized her face. "Did you cry?" there was a stain of tears on her cheeks and her beautiful eyes were a little bit swollen. "Did she scold you?"

The lycan shot the witch dagger look, which reciprocated with the same hostility.

Serefina didn\'t bother to explain because the little fella would be more than glad to chatter about it with Kace, thus she chose to go back to her room.

"No." Hope shook her head. "It wasn\'t Serefina. It was Drake." She pouted.

"Who is this Drake?!" Kace growled viciously upon hearing a man name was the cause of his mate crying.

"My schoolmate." Hope answered.

Kace\'s anger a little bit subsided when he knew it was only a child around her age, but it didn\'t mean he wasn\'t upset because that boy was dare enough to make his precious Hope swollen her eyes.

However, there was another thing that piqued Kace curiosity. "Why do you keep covering your mouth?" he frowned. "Let me see it."

Yet, Hope shook her head vigorously and refused to put her hand down.

Her strange action made Kace\'s frown deepened. "What? What happened? Are you hurt?"

"No."

"Let me see it."

"No."

"Hope."

"No."

Kace couldn\'t take it anymore, he pried her hands away from her mouth despite the little girl protest. "Let me see it Hope. Did he hurt you? Did he hit you?"

If that was true, kid or not, Kace would deal with him.

Once Kace managed to put her down, Hope closed her mouth tightly. Refused to talk. This only increased Kace\'s curiosity.

"What happened?" Kace took a closer look on her face, but except of the stain of her tears, he saw nothing there.

There was no bruise, there was no cut and the most important thing was; he didn\'t smell blood on her. She was perfectly fine.

"She just missed her front tooth." Lana walked past the living room as she headed toward\'s Serefina\'s room.

She was trying to not be around Kace as much as possible, especially when he was with Hope.

"Missing front tooth?" Kace raised his eyebrows, but when he turned his head to ask Lana, the girl had disappeared.

Though Kace was a little bit wonder why Lana wouldn\'t be around whenever he came, as matter of fact, Kace had not had a proper talk with Lana since three years ago.

The girl would look so busy with the task that Serefina had given to her. Kace didn\'t want to know what it was, as long as she took care of Hope, he was fine.

It would be only her shadow that Kace watched and her voice that could be heard once in a while.

Yet, Kace didn\'t think much about it as his focus was on Hope.

"Have you started losing your baby teeth?" Kace asked excitedly. He tried to open Hope\'s mouth. "Open, open, I want to see."

Hope swatted away his hand as she glared at him and covered her mouth again. "No!"

Inside her room, Serefina could hear both of them argumentation. Sometime she was wonder, which one more childish between the two.

"Alright. Alright." Kace raised both of his hands, surrendered, but the amused in his blue eyes didn\'t fade away. "So, tell me what this Drake did to you?" His voice turned serious.

Kace didn\'t like to see his mate was crying and moreover, he wouldn\'t tolerate it even if he was only a kid.

And then, Hope spent half an hour to tell Kace what Drake had told her and why she was crying as Kace listened to her every words patiently.

During the time she was talking, there was a moment when Hope forgot and put down her hands as her missing teeth was clearly visible.

"… Serefina said that I have to punch him on his face if he bothered me again." Hope ended her story with what Serefina had told to her home teacher.

"Of course you have to do that!" Kace exclaimed, he pumped his fist in the air as a sign that he was completely agreed with Serefina\'s statement.

Hope stared at the excitement that radiated from Kace and got a little bit confused. "But, I have never punched anyone before…"

"There will always the first time for everything babe." Kace grinned. "Don\'t let them to get away easily after mocking you." he tousled her hair lovingly.

"But, what if he calls for his parents?" Hope was afraid if it involved a.d.u.l.ts. "I don\'t have parents."

Actually, Hope was a little bit sad when she watched how the other children had their own parents while she had none. She averted her eyes from Kace.

"Baby girl." Kace gripped her chin softly so she could see him in the eyes. "You don\'t have them, but you have me, Serefina and Lana. Are you unhappy with us?"
