"I don't know," Hope said languidly while holding her candle. 

The Candlemaiden said that the small candle would guide them to see the priestess, and they would know if she was nearby if the flames turned red. 

But, seeing how blue the candle between her fingers, maybe they were not close enough? 

"This is very confusing and those people who are supposed to guide us, currently cannot do anything," Ian commented as he put a dirty plate on the sink. 

"Right," Hope mumbled as she washed the plate that Ian put on the sink, carelessly. "Let's focus on the most important thing first."

"Everything is important now," Ian wiped the plate and after it dried, he gave it to Ethan, so he could put it inside the cabinet. 

"We can't handle everything at once," Ethan chimed in. "Let's focus on how to make Kace shift back to his human form or how to wake Lana up. They know more about this world than we do."

"Right," Hope agreed as she dried her hands with a towel. 

"I would be so upset if we stuck here forever," Ian didn't stop grumbling. "I truly hope that there'd be no more surprises in the near future."

"We hope the same thing," Ethan nodded as he sat down on the dining chair. 

Their Dinner was not as bad as their breakfast and lunch, but for the twins. Though the food was not as good as what they had back home, the portion was definitely not enough for their stomach. Yet, they couldn't ask for more since there was nothing left for them to eat.

Apparently, this family didn't have any idea how big the appetite of these young werewolves. 

Rapid sound of footsteps let them know that little Bree was running towards the dining room. Her voice echoed in the corridor before her small figure appeared.

"Hope! Ethan! Ian!" she screamed and in the background they could hear Mrs. Lori who warned her little girl to not run along the corridor, which, of course, was being ignored. "They're coming! The centaurs are here!"

Little Bree was being picked by Ethan before she could run around the kitchen and bumped into something. 

Since the siblings also had a sister, they both got along pretty fast, not to mention the little girl was the kind of child who was full of energy and would smile or grin all the time. 

"Higher! Higher!" Bree squalled and giggled when Ethan raised her within his arm length. 

"Let's go, we'll see the centaur!" Ethan carried her in his arms as Bree clutched onto him like a baby koala. "Do you like centaur?"

"I like them, they are very kind!" Bree beamed when she talked about what the centaur had told her. 

Apparently, Bree had been in their den and occasionally, they would bring her to see the sky while telling her a story or two. 

From Bree's standpoint and the way Mr. and Mrs. Lori depicted the village where the priestess was living, it seemed like those centaurs didn't involve themselves with whatever the things that the hunters would do. 

It is almost like the centaurs were the advisor while the hunters were the guard of the village, along with a few other shapeshifters that were living in their community. 

Both siblings seemed a little bit brightened up when they teased little Bree, as Hope followed behind them. 

In the front yard, they could see Mr. and Mrs. Lori talking to Chiron. Aside from the chief, there were other four centaurs that came with him, they just stayed a few meters away from them. Above, the moon light fell on their bare chest and tall figure. 

"Good evening everyone…" Chiron slightly nodded to Ian and Ethan, he gave a big, warm smile when he saw Hope followed behind them.

"Chiron!" Bree stretched out her short arms, asking to be carried by the centaur, which he gladly granted.

"How are you little fellow?" Chiron touched her nose while smiling warmly at the little girl in his arms. 

"I am good. I am friends with Hope, Ian and Ethan." Bree reported this news to him.

"Wonderful," Chiron nodded and then he averted his eyes towards Hope and the siblings. "I guess all of you have many questions to be asked."

"Yes—" But, before Ethan could talk further, Chiron had interrupted him.

"But, I think let's see the lycan first, shall we?" Chiron handed Bree to her mother and caressed her cheek lightly before he turned around and walked towards the barn, without waiting for the three people behind him to answer his rhetorical question or to check whether they followed him or not.

Definitely, Hope and the siblings would follow him, what other choice that they had?

"Don't you want to come with us?" Hope turned around to look at the family of three, she remembered Bree wanted to see the beast, but was not allowed to come near the barn. 

However, Mr. and Mrs. Lori gave strange responses as they were visibly startled. "No, we will wait here."

Hope frowned, but didn't ask why they looked so afraid of her suggestion. "Alright."

The other four centaurs followed them, but there was one that came forward and walked alongside Chiron. 

"Do you think Centaurs also have a concept of mate?" Ian whispered at Hope, who just caught up with them. 

"How would I know?" Hope threw him a look. She was not a shapeshifter.

Ignoring Hope's comment, Ian started to talk again. "Do you think the female centaur beside him is his mate?"

To answer Ian's question, Chiron stopped in front of the barn's door before he opened it and said in his deep and shooting tone. "Yes, we have the concept of mate and no, she is not my mate. My mate was killed centuries ago."

There was no hostility in the way Chiron answered Ian's nosy question, but it managed to shut him up. He glanced at his shoes awkwardly. 

He thought the centaurs didn't have a remarkable hearing ability like they had, yet his assumption had been proven wrong.
