Chapter 545 - TAMING THE BEAST
Chapter 545 - TAMING THE BEAST
Though the beast was inside the cage, but the hunters who were outside had the same warry look when they approached him.
"Sedate him again!" That man, who seemed like the leader of these hunters, who had misunderstood Hope\'s gesture that led to this misunderstanding, ordered the hunter near him with stoic look.
"No!" Hope tried to get down from the carriage when she said that, but her ankle was too weak to hold her body and the pain on her back didn\'t help either. "Let me do it!"
That man sighed irritably when he helped her to get off of the carriage by holding her waist. "You will not be able to calm him."
Hope freed herself when her feet touched the ground and she could find her footing steadily. "So, do you think your method would do a better job?" she spoke mockingly.
Hope didn\'t wait for his permission, she didn\'t even know what she was going to do, yet she was sure the beast was looking for her.
When she walked ahead, two hunters stopped her from moving forward. Hope was ready to have a tough argument when she heard the same man spoke in his guttural voice.
"Let her." He dismissed his man. "I have helped you enough, if you insist that the beast will not eat you, go ahead and try to calm him." He used his hands gesture to emphasize his words. "I will only watch if the beast claws the stubbornness out of your head." He was upset because Hope didn\'t listen to him at all.
Yet, at the same time, he was unsure if that was what the beast would do, after all it had done nothing except protecting this mysterious human girl.
Hope glanced at the man over her shoulder. "Watch me," she said cynically.
Hope proved her words, she walked ahead and approached the furious beast a step at time, her ankle had not healed yet, but it wasn\'t her top concern right now.
When Hope was getting closer, she could see another cage, the same size like the one that held Kace\'s beast inside.
The other cage was filled with three people, they were Ethan, Ian and Lana, each of them was in their human form.
Hope slightly relieved when she spot them, though Lana was lying on it floor, but her shallow breathing told her that she was alive.
But, where is Lidya? Hope couldn\'t see her anywhere. Is she fine?
"Hope! You have to stop Kace, or else he will kill himself!" Ian shouted at Hope from behind the metal bar. The three of them were in the middle of the cage, they seemed didn\'t dare to move freely and Hope would know why. "The metal bars are made of silver, he will not able to stand it any longer!"
That answered the question why the three of them huddled together in the middle of it.
Hope walked past a few hunters, who were looking at her as if she had grown a second head. At this moment, all eyes were fixed on her, yet her beautiful eyes only set on the enraged white beast before her eyes.
Behind her, that man followed her movement closely as well, though the girl walked limply because she hurt her ankle, but there was no doubt in every steps that she took.
He could see what the beast had done to her, after she got stabbed, it had an effect on her.
Normally, with wound like her, she wouldn\'t be able to walk right now. He was also worried that his man would kill her accidentally. They didn\'t kill human or those weak creatures, which had been used as guinea pig, they protected them, but lycanthropes, werewolves, and witches were not one of them.
Those supernatural creatures were on the top of food chains. Therefore, he was flabbergasted when he knew Hope got along with them pretty well.
That must\'ve been because of the spell, right? He knitted his brows when he couldn\'t find the answer. Meanwhile, Hope was getting closer to the beast.
The cage was being held by eight people with four ropes in their hands to prevent the cage didn\'t topple over when the beast went berserk inside.
"Open the cage," Hope spoke to the person nearby when she was only a few meters away from the beast.
On the other hand, the beast stopped banging the cage, as its snout smelled the air. Among the scent of blood that coated its fur, he smelled his mate scent and found her figure not too far from him.
"We can\'t do that." The man shook his head after he got a \'no\' from his leader.
Hope didn\'t argue with that as she expected that answer. Well, she asked because, just in case their leader could be more lenient to her somehow.
For now, the beast had stopped completely, his red eyes stared at his mate intently and there was a whimper and growl when he watched how Hope walked towards him with her limp foot.
"Kace…" Hope called him. Her voice was shaking, flooded with emotion by seeing the scene of his current condition. She stretched out her hands through the metal bars and touched the beast\'s snout as he snuggled his big head towards her opened palm.
It didn\'t take that long until Hope\'s hand covered with the blood on its fur. But, the spark helped to calm the both of them.
The beast lowered his head and closed his eyes as he purred, his breathing became even and started to calm.
Hope could hear a lot of gasps from the hunters who were watching, when she managed to tame the beast.
