"Kace!" Hope moved away until her head hit the pole behind her and she whimpered in pain because of it.
What was that? Did he just kiss me like that?!
"Let me look, " Kace's voice was gruffly as he rubbed the place where Hope hit her head."You silly girl. Why did you avoid me?"
Surprised, Hope was trying to put some distance between them, but Kace was sitting next to her and held her face firmly.
"What are you doing?!" she couldn't avoid the panic thatcovered her voice. Hope looked at Kace, but his eyes were still all dangerously black. Why they didn't return to its original blue color as they usually would? That was odd.
Kace's eyes would only turned black if he was furious and his beast came to the surface on threatening situation, yet, even though that happened. Kace had never acted so strangely like this, as if he turned into something else.
"Kissed you, " Kace said simply.
Hope blushed. Well, that was very obvious, but that wasn't the answer to what she wanted to ask! Normal Kace wouldn't do something like that, right? Hope bit her lips, she was not sure too...
"Kace?" Hope called him softly.
"Hm?" Kacewas still in his black eyes, stared at Hope with an obvious admiration dancing in his eyes.
"Is that you?" Hope asked carefully. Maybe there was an alien who entered his body?
"You are so adorable my lovely Hope, " He leaned over and pecked her lips again.
"Kace!" Hope pushed him away and covered her lips. Within less than a minute he had kissed her twice! That wasn't a real kiss, but Hope was still surprised by Kace's sudden change of behavior."Stop it!"
"Why?" Kace chuckled, his eyes still locked on her, as if he could eat her whole right here, right now. They filled with adoration, devotion, love and... l. u. s. t?
Hope was not sure with the last one, but she could feel his vibe was different.
"You are my mate, why can't I touch you..." he caressed her hair, "... or kiss you..." He ran his fingers on the back of Hope's backhand, which still covering her mouth, "... and do more?"
"Kace!" Hope was mortified, she stood up hastily."Is that really you!?"
Another laughed from him. However, Kace's laugh died down immediately as his nose scrunched and a low growl vibrated from his chest.
Hope didn't know what the cause of Kace's sudden hostility until she saw Lana walked towards them.
"I was looking for you." Lana approached them, "You were not in your room." She rubbed her eyes, apparently she just woke up.
"I am with... Kace." Hope glanced at Kace as she moved away from him to rush toward Lana. She stopped her from coming closer.
This act made Kace growled a little bit louder than before and his black eyes staring sharply at Lana, didn't like the fact that Hope sought refuge to Lana.
"Kace, what happened with you?" Lana frowned, she stop walking and put some distance between them. Every creature knew, black eyes for shifters was not a good sign."What happened to him?" she asked Hope instead when Kace refused to talk to her.
"I don't know, " Hope shook her head."He took a nap, but when he woke up, his behavior had changed drastically."
Lana's sleepiness had disappeared into thin air, her eyes became alert when she scrutinized the creature before her eyes. It was Kace, even his scent was him, but the hostility in his eyes was something that was hard to be ignored.
"Kace..." she tried to talk, but he snapped at her coldly.
"Stay away from my mate!" he stalked towards Lana and Hope."You ungrateful mutt!"
"What?!" Lana was taken aback with the way Kace insulted her, even Hope's jaw dropped open.
If it was Abby, Hope wouldn't mind if Kace treated her badly, but it was Lana! How he could call her 'mutt' without a second thought?! Moreover, Kace didn't seem to show some remorse after saying that.
Didn't Kace always treat Lana as his sister?
"Lana, I think there's something wrong with him..." Hope whispered in panic when Kace stood in front of them, his hand stretched out to pull Hope away from Lana, but she was quick to react.
Lana swatted his hand and glared at Kace."Kace, what do you mean with this?!" she was furious after the insult, but also confused with the man before her eyes.
"Do that again and I will snap your neck." Kace replied in low and cold voice. Though his expression was devoid from any emotion, but the threat in his words was not something to be taken lightly.
"Stop it Kace! This is not funny anymore!" Hope stepped forward, no longer hiding behind Lana's back.
Whether Kace would really do it or not, Hope didn't want to take a risk to find out. Kace was not in his right mind now.
"Don't be mad, " Kace tilted his head, a devilish smirk appear on the corner of his lips."If you don't want me to kill her, you just need to ask."
Kace stretched out his hand again to touch Hope, but she swatted his hand away."Stop touching me!" Hope grumbled.
"But, I like it, " he said in a straight tone.
Hope wanted to slap him! That was an embarrassing answer, especially in front of Lana.
Meanwhile, Lana's eyes slightly darker when she heard that, she could feel her chest burned with something called jealousy.
"Hope, call Lidya to come here." Lana ordered her through gritted teeth.
"How dare you to give an order to my mate!" Kace growled dangerously.
"I'll go, " Hope decided. They had to find out what was happening to Kace."You!" she pointed her forefinger toward Kace's face."If you hurt Lana, I will never forgive you!"
After saying that, Hope ran away from the upper deck to find the witch, maybe Kace was stroke by strange magic.
"How na?ve my mate is..." Kace chuckled."I want to know her reaction when she finds out what you were going to do that night..." he gave Lana a sly smile.
