Now Hope received the three people attention. She bit her lips as she reminded herself to be careful with what she would say.
Hope just met with them and didn't really know them very well, not to mention this was her first day, though Ian and his siblings looked reliable, but she didn't want to upset Serefina further by telling something about her family to the outsider.
"I live with them since I was a baby. I don't know why." Hope answered, that wasn't a lie.
"Since a baby?" Ian frowned."That is strange. It is not common for shifter to take care of human's child..." they tend to hate them, actually. But, Ian didn't voice out his last statement.
"Really?" This time, it was Hope who was surprised, but if she thought about this again, Serefina was always very hostile every time she had to have a conversation with her teacher whenever she picked her up from school.
But, Lana and Kace didn't seem like that...
"Are they mistreated you?" Ian asked again, his eyes slanted as if he could smell a lie in Hope's answer.
"No." Raine shook her head."They treated me very well." Except for the weird restriction to not go out by herself after the sun set, which Hope understood the reason behind it, they have treated her very well.
Especially Kace, he would literally grant every Hope's wishes.
"Maybe her family is a rogue." Rossie blinked her eyes at Hope, finishing her burrito and wiping her mouth.
"Rogue? What is that?" Hope never heard that term and most likely it wasn't the common term that human would use.
"You don't know what is rogue?" Ethan furrowed his brows at Hope was at lost.
"This is interesting." Ian leaned over and scrutinized Hope's face as he tried to find his answer on her face, which was a stupid thought."You are not a shifter but lives with them and you don't seem know about shifter's life."
"So, she is human?" Rossie still bothered with the fact that Hope was human, yet they were talking about their world to her."Is it okay that we are talking about this to her?"
"Yes, she is human." Ian nodded, but his eyes still locked on Hope."But, she is not ordinary human, I think."
Hope didn't understand what Ian was talking about."What do you mean?"
"Tell me." Ian moved closer and Ethan threw an empty bottle toward him, that he caught before it could hit his head without even looking at it."Do you have super power ability?"
"Like what?" Hope had never had a conversation like this and she was more than excited to know more about the things that Kace and Serefina kept holding back to tell her. Kace would always say; he would let her know when she was older.
Well, she was older now since the last time he said that.
"Like super strength, super speed, laser vision, invisibility or something?" Ian was very eager to know more about this.
From the corner of Hope's eyes she could see, even Ethan and Rossie were listening.
"Of course not. I don't have that kind of power." Hope laughed."There are people who have power like that?" she asked incredulously.
"I have never heard." Ian shrugged his shoulder.
"But, witch absolutely can do those kinds of thing." Rossie's hazel eyes shined, intrigued by the topics they discussed.
"Some, yes. But, not all." Ethan replied.
"But, that is still cool." Rossie was stubborn with her opinion and Ethan didn't dissent her again.
Well, that's kind of cool. Hope agreed as she remembered how she used to admire Serefina's magic before she used it to erase her friends' memories.
Even now, Hope was still upset at her, but Serefina didn't seem to mind or even bother to apologize at all.
"You have not answered my question." Hope reminded them."What is rogue?"
It was Ian and Ethan who explained it to Hope about what was the term of rogue meant in their world. 𝚏r𝘦𝘦𝙬e𝘣𝒏ov𝐞l - 🅽🅽novel
Basically, rogue was a lone wolf that didn't join any pack, just like their family, and this piece of information surprised Hope.
She did know that werewolves and Lycanthropes formed their own pack and the biggest pack in red river city was Torak Donovan's pack, which covered all the packs across the nation.
Hope just knew about this after that incident in Sebastian's house, Kace told her a little bit about this and to her surprise, Torak Donovan was Kace second brother that he had never met for years now.
Ethan also explained to Hope about hierarchy in werewolves and Lycan's world, about the role of Alpha, Beta and Gamma.
This information was a mind blowing for Hope, she knew there was a pack, but would have never thought that it was very complicated with many roles in there.
"So, why all of you chose to be a rogue?" Hope was curious, she was thirsty to know more about it.
Ethan and Ian were staring at each other before Ian spoke callously."Family problem."
"Oh." Hope couldn't pursue the reason if their answer was that.
Apparently, most of the rogue was not very welcomed when they trespass another pack territory without permission, thus they chose to live here because no one owned this land.
"Because, from what I heard, there is a portal to another realm behind the forest." Ian's voice was barely a whisper.
"What portal?" Hope couldn't help, but mimicked his gesture as she talked secretively.
"Another world, another realm. The world of magic." Ian gave Hope a suggestive grin.
"Stop trying to corrupt her to break the law." Ethan growled, the same growl that Kace would do every time he was talking to Serefina and they had different opinion, though Kace was more powerful.
"What law? We are not allowed to enter the forest?" Hope just arrived here a week ago and literally didn't took a step out of the house.
"There is this law here..." Ian ignored Ethan's glare and continued.
