novelSET THE LINE
| ← Ch.0489 | Ch.0491 → |
It was very easy for Lana to find where Kace was right now, as his scent was something that Lana had familiarized for years.
Like how it was easy for Lana to find him, it was also easy for Kace to know that she was approaching him.
Since what happened four days ago, Kace had not yet come to Serefina's house, most of the time, he would meet Hope after school and picked her up from the siblings' house before both of them went somewhere and Kace would drop her right in front of the house.
Kace didn't mean to avoid Lana, he just didn't want to meet her and heard her explanation for her action that night.
To say he was angry was an understatement.
Kace always thought of her as his younger sister, but what she did that night had showed her intention and crossed the line, while Kace could keep his livid beast at bay, he was unsure if he met Lana now, he wouldn't snap at her.
For the sake of what she had done for him and his mate, he didn't want to do that, but knowing her feeling for him, had turned everything became awkward and tense.
Maybe the lycan needed time to adjust his feeling about the whole situation, but one thing was certain, the situation wouldn't go on as before.
However, at this moment, when there were around forty students that surrounded him, Kace had nowhere to go and forced to face Lana.
A few students were throwing a meaningful look and wiggled their eyebrows toward him upon seeing Lana was walking toward their directions.
Despite being a new teacher, Kace was actually getting along pretty well with everyone there, whether it was teachers or students.
"Mr. Wolfie, can we talk for awhile please?" even Lana has that strange look on her face when she mentioned his name. What a weird name that Kace picked for himself.
Kace's eyes flickered to dark one for a second before they returned to its initial blue color when Kace waved his hand for Lana to follow him.
A few students whistled behind their back, but not like usual, Kace didn't give any response to them. He kept walking with Lana followed behind him.
They walked in silence along the empty corridor and passed a few classes where the students were studying and threw a glance toward both of them through the window.
Kace only stopped when they reached an empty class. He opened the door and let Lana walked first before he closed the door behind him.
"Make it quick." Kace leaned against the door, stayed away from her as he folded his arms.
He did this not only because of the reason he was still upset, but because the beast in him felt disgusted to be near this woman. Kace couldn't help it, the feeling of his beast surged through his system and he couldn't refuse it.
Though the power of the beast was being suppressed by its owner, this did not prevent the beast from expressing its feelings emotionally.
"Can I ask for apologize?" Lana's expression was devoid from any emotions, just like her usual facial expression.
"Apology accepted, if that's what you need, " Kace replied almost immediately and was about to walk out of the room, but Lana stopped him.
"Is hugging you a very big mistake?" Lana clenched her hands, waiting for his answer.
"You know it is." Kace turned to face her again and his answer came out short and cold.
"Can you just pretend that I didn't do it?" Lana furrowed her eyebrows.
Couldn't meet Kace for four days was not a big deal for her, but knowing they were not in good terms was something else.
Lana knew it was a mistake, but she couldn't help it when her feeling got the best of her and she was too drawn by the situation at that time, which then led her to not able to think clearly.
"Let's pretend that didn't happen then." Kace agreed casually."Don't look for me like that again, I don't want those human to think about something absurd."
"I have been taking care of your mate for her entire life, but only one mistake and you throw away that fact?" Lana furrowed her eyebrows.
"Are you trying to talk about who is indebted to whom?" Kace narrowed his eyes.
Lana shut her mouth immediately, because she knew; she living with them, was her own choice and if it wasn't because of Kace who chose to ignore Serefina's warning and saved her life, Lana would have died now.
"I am sure you are aware about my feeling for you." Lana talked about something else, the thing that she had kept for many years and she thought she would forget about it as time goes by, yet she was totally wrong.
The feeling got worse the moment she watched Hope reciprocated Kace's affection. She didn't want to hate the girl or hurt her feeling because, as weird as it sounded, she raised Hope and thought of her like her own sister.
"It's crystal clear now about your feeling toward me." Kace then added."And I think it is plain to see how I despised being touched the way you touched me."
Lana was about to say something when Kace didn't even give her a chance to talk and set the line between them.
"I am grateful for what you have done toward Hope, but I want you to obliterate your feeling for me, because it will not bring you anything but pain." Kace's expression softened."You will find your mate sooner or later and at that time you will understand how I feel."
For Kace, it's better to give Lana a harsh response rather than to give comforting words that would be misinterpreted and led to another misunderstanding.
"I heard you are looking for me."
All of sudden Serefina's voice rang through the empty room, before both of them could see her figure, sitting on the table near the window.
