DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!

Lana didn't know what got into her when she circled her arms around Kace's torso and rested her forehead against his back.

"I am worried about you…" she heard herself whispering against Kace's skin and the body in her arms stilled all of a sudden.

Lana was worried about Kace and that was the truth. This was a genuine feeling that she felt for him for over seventeen years now.

Regardless of her efforts to avoid him or her futile attempts to ignore her own feelings, the affection that Lana had for Kace was honest.

She knew how much Kace loved Hope because of the mate bond between them and Lana could see the little girl had developed the same feeling for this lycan.

But, if the war happened and Kace lost his mate, how could he cope up with the pain?

It was pathetic that Lana had to repeat the same story as the witch. Just like Serefina, she loved someone who didn't belong to her.
