Hope hugged the younger version of Kace for God knows how long… she didn't even know for sure how long they had been in that position, as she lost track of time and didn't know what else she could do to alleviate the sadness he was feeling.
Kace didn't even let her go when Hope wanted to free herself, he hugged her even tighter, as if he was afraid his mate would disappear and he wouldn't have any chance to see her again.
"Kace you will not lose me," Hope finally said, she couldn't stay like this any longer. She didn't know what was happening in the real world, the other Kace must be frightened by now if she didn't wake up soon. She knew him all too well to guess that. "I am still here and I will not go anywhere…"
"But, you will die," Kace whimpered. "I don't want you to die. I need you."
"I don't want to die too," Hope replied. "But, we can't let those people die in order to keep me alive. I can't live like that."
"You can pretend that you don't know," Kace retorted. He whimpered again when Hope wanted to let go, but this time, Hope really released herself from his tight hug.
"You know that I can't do that…" Hope frowned and that made Kace lower his head, he felt ashamed of himself for wanting that, but in contrary, he couldn't help it.
"You have to…" he murmured.
Hope cupped his face and lifted his head. "Kace, we will find a way. I don't want to leave you either. You are everything that I want and I cherish you the most. You have been there for as long as my heart can remember. You are part of my life, but you know what you are doing now hurts me. You know this is wrong."
Kace averted his eyes stubbornly. "The beast will not let you go."
"I know," Hope said softly and kissed his forehead. "But, you will."

"How many people died out there?"
That was the question that greeted Torak the moment he stepped his foot inside the room, as if Raine had been expecting his visit.
It was not strange, knowing her power, she would know it.
Torak sighed deeply and walked closer to her, yet Raine avoided him and turned around, giving him a hard glare.
"Answer me, how many people died out there?" she asked the same question again. Her tone was neither harsh nor loud, but it was enough to make Torak stand rooted in his place, not knowing how to handle her.
"My love…" Torak was lost for words about how to let her know what he was feeling right now.
"If you love me, you will not let me be burdened with their lives," Raine said in a hurt tone, pain was palpable in her eyes.
"The burden and sins are mine to bear," Torak replied.
He had done far too many atrocious things in the past for the reasons that he himself was not sure about, but right now, he knew what he wanted and he wanted his mate to live, thus he wouldn't mind doing this sinful act again…
That was what he thought, yet a tiny part of his conscience was still screaming at him that he must stop.
Raine shook her head when she heard that. "Torak…"
However, she couldn't finish her words when she felt something was wrong as her hand immediately clutched her chest.
The uncomfortable expression that Torak saw on Raine, made him strode over to her quickly.
"Raine, what happened?" Deep worry was written all over his face. Right at that time he heard Kace's cry for him to come over.
"Something happened to Hope," Raine said, she could feel it.
==============
Jedrek saw Lilac glaring at him hardly while she tried to avoid him.
"You can't avoid me forever," Jedrek spoke to Lilac in a light tone. He didn't want to argue with her, but this was unavoidable.
"I will stop avoiding you if you stop acting crazy," Lilac retorted. "You know, Jedrek. You can't stop me."
The moment Lilac said that, roots emerged from the ground, breaking through the tiled floor, coiling in her hands like snakes.
Jedrek watched all of this in disbelief. "D*mn, Lilac!" he cursed out of frustration. "Can't we talk?! Why are you always trying to fight me?!" This scene was way too familiar to him.
The very first thing that Lilac did during their first meeting was to fight him and after that, whenever they were not on the same page, she would do the same exact thing, and now she was doing it again.
Their relationship only showed some improvement recently.
Why did the moon goddess pair him with a stubborn woman like Lilac? It would have been better if he got a more obedient mate, but then again, Jedrek couldn't see himself with someone else except her. Very annoying…
"Because you are out of your mind and I have an urge to knock some sense onto your head!" Lilac yelled at him.
"I don't want to fight you," Jedrek said grimly. "So tone it down."
"Fine, but let's go back to discuss what I have seen with the others and you have to cooperate," Lilac spoke lightly, she didn't put her guard down at all.
"NO!" Jedrek rejected her idea almost immediately. "There is nothing to be discussed!"
"It means I have to find my own way," Lilac said and walked toward the door, but Jedrek moved faster and blocked her way.
As an answer, Lilac made a slashing move and the root in her hand whipped Jedrek's cheek, causing a cut on his skin.
It was not a deep cut and it healed almost immediately, but Jedrek was speechless with Lilac's brazenness. It had been a long time since she showed this temper to him. What kind of mate did he get himself?
"Lilac!" Jedrek shouted in disbelief. "There are two hundred people out there just to stop you."
"I am their queen!"
"And I am the king!"
"Then act like one!" Lilac was furious.
