What Lana suspected was true, she had seen those eyes before. It was the same eyes that had glared at her that night when she was out of her mind and was about to kiss him.
"You are his beast, " Lana was narrowed her eyes. She was sure about this."How can you take control?"
As long as Lana remembered, the beast in Kace was very weak for Lycanthropes with Donovan's blood, especially after the never ending suppression that Kace had done and the wounds that he endured right now, therefore how could this beast possibly take the control of him now? It didn't make any sense at all.
Kace turned his head up and looked at the sky, the blinding light from the sun fell on his face."This place... is magical..."
"Give back the control to Kace, " Lana said sternly. She was not sure with what this beast wanted and how could he do this, or why Kace didn't take the control back immediately?
"How funny you are." He sneered."I am Kace."
It was a bit confusing, but what the beast said was true, since they were the same person. However, for shapeshifters, as they had the spirit of the beast, they had this animalistic instinct, which could use as their defense and aggression.
The human side had to learn how to control this animalistic instinct to not to cause trouble for themselves. Some shifters had their beast's side more dominant, but some shifters had their human's side more dominant.
It depended on which side received more training.
Just like warriors, their beast's side was more dominant, especially when they felt there was a threat nearby.
However, as an Alpha or as the descendant of Alpha's blood, like the Donovans, the strength of their both sides were in harmony.
It happened to Kace centuries ago until he decided to turn his back on his beast. That wasn't a wise move to say the least, as shapeshifters shouldn't ignore their other soul.
"Kace was too soft on you when he rebuked you about that time you were hugging him, he was too na?ve. If only he gave me control that night in the inn, you will not be standing here, glaring at me." Kace spoke in an eerie cold tone."Now, since my mate would be upset if I kill you, you are once again safe."
Lana couldn't say anything about that. She felt her face flushed in red color, she was ashamed. Despite of all the words that Kace had said. It was notthemoment that she wanted to be brought back.
"Talking rubbish about your dedication of raising my mate? If it was not for me, you wouldn't have a chance to survive another minute from the attack of snake shifter..." Kace sighed as he looked at Lana disdainfully."What did you say back then? Oh, I still remember that..." he hummed.
Lana could feel her hands trembling. She didn't like to face this side of Kace. She could sense the hostility and resentment in every word that came out from his lips.
"Let me refresh your memory, you ungrateful mutt... 'If you leave me I will die'..." Kace blurted out."And there is another... 'I will do everything as long as you help me'... is that enough? Should I remind you again about your other pleas?"
"Enough!" Lana gritted her teeth. She remembered how desperate she was at that time.
"Good!" Kace nodded in satisfaction."Even without the vow between you and me, you should know your place and be willing to give your life for me... don't twist the fact and make me look like a fool by saying you had been taking a good care of my mate. That's your words to take care of her the moment I saved you're ass!"
Lana lowered her head, she didn't dare to see the way Kace was looking at her right now.
"Now, you know why I call you ungrateful mutt, right? You shouldn't be angry because of that..." Kace looked at the vast sea, which shined brightly under the sunlight."Don't take my human side for granted for his compassion." His eyes flickered into red color."This is the last warning. ???
It was true the beast couldn't hurt Lana or even to touch her, because of Hope. But it doesn't mean he couldn't hurt her in other way.
His mate was way too precious for him and as the silence stretched out in the upper deck, the beast wondered why he had not yet marked his mate? He was upset with this fact.
He wanted his mate to bear his mark. Shouldn't Kace have marked her since she wasold enoughalready?
When Kacewas thinking about his mate, her intoxicating scent hit his sense. She had come back with the witch.
"Are you alright?" Hope approached Lana, who looked very pale."He didn't do anything to you, right?"
Kace snorted as he rolled his eyes."I will not hurt her if that would make you sad."
Hope threw him a glare, even the way he talked also different."What happened with him? He is not like himself." Hope shifted her attention toward Lidya.
Lidya yawned and stretched her body. She was very sleepy."It's him, " she said languidly."There is nothing strange."
"But, it's not him!" Hope objected stubbornly."Don't you see? Kace wouldn't act like this. Not this way."
"It's his beast. Meaning, it's him." Lidya spoke with finality, she seemed bored with the topic and annoyed profoundly because her sleep was disturbed for such boring matter."You don't need to worry, the Kace that you used to know will come back before we reach the shore."
Kace didn't care about what Lidya said as he gave Hope his undivided attention."Your neck is too bare, my little one."
"I don't like you call me that, and..." Hope frowned, "what is that even mean?"
But, Lana knew exactly what Kace meant, her body turned stiff."Kace, you are not in your right mind."
"What does it mean? What is he talking about?" Hope looked at Lana, demanding for answer.
"I want you. To mark you, " Kace strode towards Hope.
