The Love of a Lycan Chapter 618 – THE PERFECT MORNING

Hope couldn’t sleep last night. And when the first ray of the sun fell on her face, only then she felt very lethargic. Her legs were numb after being Kace’s pillow for the entire night. 

But, fortunately, when Kace woke up that morning, he looked much better.All of his wounds had healed, except for the one on his back.But at least there was no additional wound that Hope could see. 

“Are you okay?” Hope caressed Kace’s head when he opened his eyes as she yawned. 

“You don’t look so well,” Kace’s black eyes stared at Hope sleepy face. She looked gaunt and this made Kace furrowed his eyebrows. He immediately sat down when he realized that he had been using Hope’s lap as a pillow while she had to be in sitting position the entire night. “Why don’t you sleep?” 

Hope’s black eye bags told him that she didn’t have enough sleep last night. 

“I am fine…” Hope raised both of her hands, and stretched her body until she could hear the cracking sound from her joint and sighed in relief. “Don’t worry.”

Kace didn’t believe her. 

He raised his hand and poked Hope’s legs as the girl grimaced in pain, and slapped his shoulder.

“What are you doing!?” Hope glowered, her legs were numb and it was painful when Kace poked them. She raised her hand to prevent Kace from poking her again, ready to swat the big bad lycan. 

However, regardless of the slap that he got on his back again and Hope’s protest, he moved closer.

“No, what are you doing!?” Hope panicked, it was painful enough to move her legs, but she didn’t want Kace to touch them too. “No, don’t touch!”

“Can you stay still?” Kace glared at Hope and this made the girl pout her lips sullenly. 

After the girl stopped her assault on him, Kace moved to her legs.Though Hope still whimpered when Kace touched them, she didn’t hit him again. 

With care, Kace touched her legs and gave them massages, giving the right amount of pressure and made circular motion on her feet. At first, it was painful, but after a while, Hope could feel her blood circulated and she was no longer in pain. 

“Wow!” She moved her legs, and they were fine. “I don’t know if you can do massages?” 

Kace chuckled and he flicked her head lightly. “I was your P. E teacher, remember?”

Hope frowned, “I forgot.”

She really forgot about that. It felt like her life at school was from another life. Two weeks weren’t over yet, but she felt like the life she was living in that realm was like a beautiful, peaceful dream.

“Should I call you ‘Sir’?” Hope teased him while she reached for Kace’s stretching hands and used it to support her to stand. 

Yet, Kace stole a kiss from her when she was close enough, chuckled when Hope glared at him. “A morning kiss,” Kace said sweetly to her ears. While ignoring the hunters, who were stealing a glance at them. 

“Stay here, I will talk to Delta,” Kace said as he walked away to talk to the head of the hunters. 

Hope didn’t know what he wanted to discuss, but he looked less gloomy than the beast that Hope met when the first time he appeared. 

Since his human side was too weak to take the control, the beast resurfaced since then.

Seeing Lydia was awake, Hope walked towards her. “Morning.”

Lydia glanced briefly at Hope and yawned, she looked better. A good night’s sleep could indeed replenish someone’s energy. 

“Morning,” Lydia greeted her, she yawned again, seemingly needing another hour of sleep, but they had to go immediately before the barrier that protected them became worn out. If that happened, their enemies could easily find them. 

Hope had told the hunter about the priestess’ body.Yet with the current situation, if they insisted to go back into the cave, it was almost like a suicide mission.Thus they needed to go back to the village as soon as possible, and think carefully about the solution and what their plan was.

The morning in this clearing was not as terrifying as the night time. The chirping birds that perched on the branches could be heard, and also the warm sunlight that peeked through the leaves. 

If only they were not in this kind of situation, this would be a perfect morning. 

Hope could see Abby was talking about something to Leon.Both of them seemed to be having an argumentation.But that wasn’t her problem. The thing was that Hope disliked Abby from the beginning, and she didn’t really like Leon either. 

After Kace discussed something with Delta, he went back to Hope and told her that they would be ready to leave in five minutes. 

And the moment when everything was packed, the twenty five of them went to meet the centaurs at the border of the barrier that Beelzebub had casted around the mountain. 

It took another three hours before they reached the place where the centaurs had been waiting for them.

And during the last two hours of their walk, Kace insisted for Hope to climb on his back.Apparently the girl’s constant yawn slightly irritated the lycan. He reprimanded her for not taking a good care of herself, and arrogantly said that he would’ve been fine even if Hope didn’t offer her lap. 

Hope knew Kace was not ungrateful after what she did for him.He was just worried.But still, it annoyed her to be scolded. 

Well, she took back her words that she thought the beast was being nice now, because he was still annoying.

However, after a long squabble. Hope finally tired and hopped on his back and immediately regretted; why didn’t she do it earlier? It was so nice and comfy to rest her head on Kace’s broad shoulder. 

In the end, it didn’t take a long time before Hope fell asleep and only woke up when they saw the centaurs in the distance. 

“I will walk,” Hope wriggled her body as Kace put her down. 

Yet, something happened and Hope could see it in Kace’s eyes before she even felt it.
