In the end, Serefina had to drive them for another long hour before the sun set on the horizon and they decided to call it a day.
Serefina drove the car to the parking lot at the inn and get out of the car as she stretched her stiff body because of driving for long time.
By this time, Kace had calmed down now, yet still on alert.
The first thing he did when he step out of the car was raising his nose and sniffing the air, searching for any odd scent that could be a threat for the three of them.
When he was sure there was nothing odd, he took his back pack and strolled inside the inn with Serefina followed behind him after she put some spell around the area.
Kace rather please with the precautions that Serefina did to ensure their safety. He didn't want to meet Gluttony or any other creatures that he didn't want to meet.
"How many room?" the girl on the receptionist desk as Kace and smiled politely at him, asking for the general question after the boring greeting.
"One."
"One."
Kace and Serefina answered almost simultaneously. The Lycan didn't need to turn his body to see the witch was approaching him after she had done with her business.
"One room with twin bed." Kace added more specifically and didn't miss the slight frown from the girl's eyebrows.
Man and woman, with their baby, sleeping in one room. They definitely a family of three, right? But, why they slept in different bed? Or maybe...f𝑟𝘦𝘦𝙬e𝗯𝗻ov𝐞l - 🅽🅽novel
"We can provide baby crib if you want." The girl was being professional and tried to help while curiosity got the best of her at the same time.
"No need." It was Serefina who answered her as she shot her an impatient look and extended her arm, asking for the key for their room.
After the receptionist girl notified them one or two information and gave the key to Serefina, both of them turned their body almost immediately and headed to their room on the third floor, leaving the puzzled reception alone without even giving her a single 'thank you'.
==============
After a long journey, exhaustion hit Serefina, her consciousness slipped away the moment her head touch the pillow after she finished taking a bath, leaving Kace to take care of the baby.
Kace put a single chair beside Hope's bed and played with the baby until late at night. He placed many pillows and blanket around her, therefore she wouldn't fall when she was sleeping.
Kace was also thoughtful enough to give a bottle of warm milk, so she would sleep with a full tummy. Though Hope only drank half a bottle of her milk because she had it not so long.
Hope mostly awake at night and would sleep during the day.
But, it didn't take her a long time to fall asleep again and let Kace to get some rest too.
However, in the middle of the night, the baby was crying softly. This sound was akin to alarm, which blaring inside Kace's head.
His eyes opened wide as they lost any traces of sleepiness. Kace snapped his head toward Hope and watched how she frowned and pouted her lips, holding back her tears while stuffing her fist into her mouth.
What is it?
Is she afraid of something? Kace's eyes skimmed his surrounding briefly.
Hungry? Because she was starting to eat her fist now...
But, when the familiar smell hit Kace's nostril, he knew too well that the baby had just pooped. He chuckled at Hope's teary little face, feeling uncomfortable because of the dirty that she created.
"I will clean you up okay." Kace leaned over and kissed her forehead."Don't cry."
Kace skillfully removed the blanket and her diaper, before he cleaned her up and put new diaper and clothes for her.
Only then, Kace realized that Hope didn't have much clothes. He needed to buy some cute baby clothes for her later.
After she had been cleaned the baby yawned again and fell asleep, curling her little fingers around Kace's thumb.
Kace caressed her back to ease her sleep as he covered her tinny body with blanket.
==============
"Are you crazy Serefina!?" Kace's roar was the first thing that broke the silent of the peaceful morning after he knew where they were heading to."I will not let her leave in that kind of environment! You lost your mind!"
Serefina glared hardly at Kace while crossing her arms in front of her chest defensively."Do you have better idea?! I have been living there for more than decades!"
"We are talking about Northern coven! Where the witches and vampires roamed around freely and rogue live there!" Kace adamant that the place which Serefina suggested was not safe for Hope.
The Northern part of this realm was a dark place, where there were no exact rules there! How Serefina could think that was the safest place?
Wasn't it better to live just like this? Moving to one place to the other? Kace didn't mind it at all! But, not with the idea to go to the northern area!
"You are a rogue yourself, pup! Did you forget?" Serefina scoffed, raised her chin high in challenging manner.
Kace snarled at Serefina's remark, but then he lowered his tone when he felt Hope was startled in his arms.
"That is dangerous place! Dark and dangerous!" Kace emphasized every syllable in his sentence, as calm as he could, afraid to surprised the baby again.
"I had been hiding there for centuries! There is no harm that will fall upon her when you know how to survive there!" Serefina retorted.
From the first time this argumentation started, the witch had come prepared and wouldn't back down without a fight and got what she wanted.
"And you expect me to agree with your crazy idea?! I used to admire your craziness back then, but not now when you involve my mate's life!" Kace hissed and grumbled viciously, in order to keep his voice low.
