"What the baby for him?" Lana asked as if Serefina didn't inform her anything just a second ago.
"Curiosity killed the cat." Serefina quipped.
"I am a wolf, not a cat." Lana put down her spoon too and looked at Serefina with her placid brown eyes.
There was something in her that reminded the witch about the younger version of her. Herself, who didn't care about the world and did everything that her heart desire until her heart was no longer belong to her, when her heart was beating for someone else. For him...
"Good. I will be glad if you know your place." Serefina then left the room, leaving the girl was still in daze.
==============
"What are you doing hiding there?" Kace spoke without even raised his head from the baby in front of him.
Apparently, he just bathed Hope and put on a beautiful yellow dress on her while the baby giggling and gushing on the bed.
Lana, whose curiosity was brewing on the back of her head, couldn't help but wanted to know more about the baby, which Kace was very possessive of.
"I bring a bottle of milk for the baby." Lana had thought about it, just in case she was being caught staring like this.
Pushing the door opened she walked into the room with a bottle of warm milk in her hand as she handed it to Kace once she was standing beside the bed.
"Thank you." The lycan didn't immediately give the bottle to Hope, who was reaching out her stubby arms on her meal eagerly, but he poured some of the milk on the back of his hand and licked it.
After he taste it and felt there was nothing wrong, only then he dared to give it to the baby, who nipped on it happily.
"You know how to make a bottle of milk for a baby." This fact didn't go unnoticed by Kace."How old are you?"
"I used to have little cousin and occasionally would make it for him." Lana replied, still standing beside the bed while looking at Hope with her curios gaze."I am fifteen."
fifteen...
Age for shifter indeed worked in different way from human, but her appearance that looked like twelve years old girl still made Kace frowned.
"You don't look like you are in your fifteen." Kace voiced out his confusion as he ran his blue ocean eyes on the girl."You look younger."
Lana shrugged."Maybe because my mother was a fae."
Kace raised his eyebrows upon hearing that confession. He had never heard that werewolf was mated to fae, yet he had never really cared about something like that.
"What is her name?" Lana sat down on the other side of the bed as Kace's alert eyes followed her every moves.
It wasn't that Lana didn't realize that Kace became tense when she was close to the baby, but she was careless about that as her eyes locked on the baby.
Why the great Lycan was babysitting this weak creature? A human baby on top of that. Did he not have another interesting activities to do?
Yet, Lana kept that thought for herself as she reached out her hand to touch the baby.
However, she had not yet managed to touch a single hair of her when Kace's big hand grabbed her wrist."Her name is Hope." It was like a low warning growl to keep Lana's hand from Hope.
"Nice name." Lana commented, drew back her hand before Kace decided to snap it. What the witch said was right. The great Lycan was very protective."Is she your baby? But, she is not a shifter."
Though Hope was only a baby, but another shifter could feel their own kind the moment they laid their eyes on them.
"My baby?" Kace reiterated her question and a gruff laugh as loud as a ringing bell echoed through the room."Yes, she is my 'baby'."
Lana's frown deepened when she heard that. Why she felt there was another meaning behind his words?
"But, you don't have mate." She blurted out without even thinking about the statement that just passed her lips."I heard it that Donovans didn't have mate."
What Lana said kill the light atmosphere that was created by Kace laugh, because now the Lycan was crossing his arms in front of his sturdy chest as he observed the girl a little bit more serious.
"You really had to watch mouth of yours." His voice wasn't loud, but it carried warning and hostility in his tone."I don't know how you grew up, but I think, even the Gamma's family will teach you some manner."
Lana's brown eyes snapped at Kace and they remained in staring contest for a minute before Lana dropped her gaze.
"I lied." She said in low voice.
"Figures." Kace nodded.
At first, he trusted her words, but when he thought about it again and watched the way she carried herself, it was most likely some of her story was lie, if it wasn't all.
"So?" Kace prodded, he took Hope and cradled her in his arms carefully.
"I didn't lie when I say that the pack was attacked by vampires or the rest of the story." Lana's eyes remained at the baby on Kace's strong arms."I lied when I said I was the Gamma daughter."
Kace didn't understand that, but remained silence, waiting for her to explain.
"I was omega in the pack, because my mother is not from your kind." Lana started."She left me with my werewolf father and never come to see me again."
Omega...
Kace was unsure there was a pack that still regarded someone for that title. As far as he knew, that position had long been removed from their hierarchy.
"I know what you think about it." Lana shrugged her shoulder."They gave me that position as a form to ridicule me." There was a fleeting of anger in those brown eyes.
"I don't care about that, I just want to know your true intention."
