The Love of a Lycan Chapter 697 – TOO MUCH TO COMPLAIN

After Torak said that the rest of the lycanthropes and werewolves that came with Torak arrived in the clearing too.

In his haste, the Alpha had outran them and Serefina simply teleported herself from time to time to keep up with them, as it was impossible for the witch to run alongside the shifter in their beast’s form.

“Chiron, I think we need some space to talk.” Serefina stepped forward to stop both of brothers from glaring at each other. “We need to talk with you too.”

Chiron nodded at Serefina. “Sure, we can use one of our tents for more privacy.” The centaur held out his hand to lead the way.

However, Torak had another idea. “I need to talk to you first.” He stared at Kace. “Come with me.”

“No,” Kace said curtly, he crossed his arms in front of his chest defiantly. But, of course Torak wouldn’t give it to him.

“Come. With. Me.” Torak enunciated every word while staring intensely at his younger brother.

“No.” Kace stood his ground. “If you just want to talk, you don’t need to bring your people with you.” He threw a nasty look toward the people behind Torak.

Of course, Torak brought them all just in case everything was not going according to their plan, after all, they would meet the centaurs and Torak knew very well what the Donovan had done to their kind. What Jedrek had done to them.

In spite of the fact they accepted Kace, but Torak wouldn’t rely on it, especially when Raine came along with him.

“Back off,” Torak said to Alpha Romulus on his left side and they took three steps back directly. He turned toward Raine and caressed her hair tenderly. “Stay with Calleb and Jack, okay?”

“Okay,” Raine answered immediately.

Soon afterward, Torak walked toward Kace without hesitation. He knew his brother. He was the one who taught him how to fight centuries ago and even he realized there was big part of him that changed since that day, one thing Torak knew for sure, Kace wouldn’t resolve anything with violence.

Just like what their father said; Kace was the kindhearted Donovan. Strongly reminded them of their mother.

“Walk with me,” Torak said as he gestured for Kace to follow him into the dense woods.

“You sound like Jedrek,” Kace spoke grumpily.

“And you sound like mother.” Torak didn’t stop walking, because he knew Kace followed him, eventually.

“What is that meant?” he frowned.

“Too much to complaint,” Torak replied.

With groan and grunt, Kace finally followed his older brother, but not before he warned Hope grumpily. “Stay here.”

After the two Donovan disappeared behind the dense trees, Serefina walked toward Chiron and spoke tiredly.

“Can you show me the tent? I think I need to catch up my breath.” She had been using her power constantly all night and had to deal with Torak and Kace at the same time, it exhausted her mentally and physically.

“Serefina!” Hope pounced onto the witch until she almost lost her balance. “I miss you!”

Serefina scoffed, but she patted Hope’s head. “You miss me, yet I have to take this annoying trip to find you.”

Hope raised her head and grinned. “I have told Kace many times to go back to mystic river village, but he simply didn’t listen to me,” she complained.

It was undeniable fact that Serefina was the most annoying person that Hope ever met, but she had grown up under her care and she wouldn’t be this strong, if it was not for Serefina’s way to teach her.

“Where is Lana? Didn’t she come with you?” Hope looked at the massive people behind Serefina’s back, but couldn’t find her.

“No, she will meet us in the mystic river village,” Serefina said and pushed Hope away from her, she was still not used to how Hope had hugged her, though she had done this occasionally since she was only a toddler.

Meanwhile, Raine looked at the interaction between Serefina and Hope with puzzlement. She didn’t know that Serefina could be less hostile toward guardian angel and display a tinny bit affection toward Hope. Something that she had never shown it to her.

But then, Raine understood that Serefina had raised Hope, thus it was only natural for her to treat her a little bit warm.

“Okay, I am tired now, I want to rest.” Serefina finally managed to free herself from Hope’s arms and walked away.

“Don’t you miss me?” Hope asked sullenly, they had not seen each other for almost a year now, but this was how she treated her?

“No,” Serefina answered shortly.

However, this answer made Hope laughed. As expected from the witch. She couldn’t expect anything from her.

And when Serefina had walked away with Chiron, Hope waltzed toward Raine. She had a lot of things to talk to her, last night conversation was not enough.

But, Calleb and Jack blocked her way before she could reach Raine.

“Where are you going?” Jack asked. “Go back to your pack.”

Hope frowned. “But, I want to talk to Raine.”

“No, don’t you hear your mate had said? You have to stay there,” Calleb chimed in.

The guardian angel turned her gaze to Calleb, she was sure she had met him somewhere. However, she couldn’t recall where or when…

“Why are you treating her like that?” Raine walked toward them and the two lycans couldn’t stop her to stand beside Hope.

“Luna, you can’t go with her…” Jack spoke, but Raine cut his sentence.

“Yes, I am your Luna, so start to treat me like one,” Raine retorted.

“Raine, Torak said you should stay with us,” Calleb talked.

“Sure, you can follow me then,” Raine said cheekily and grabbed Hope’s hand. “Let’s go.”

And both of them walked away toward the direction where Torak and Kace had gone while chatting happily.

Calleb and Jack groaned, but Raphael patted their shoulder. “Go, follow them. Maybe they will hurt each other,” he said with a hint of sarcasm.
