A LONG NIGHT

Kace was slightly taken aback by Hope's bold request, but when he watched how his little mate grinned happily upon seeing his reaction, he knew that she was only teasing him.

Well, Kace was more than happy to play along with his sweet mate. 

"Why are you running? Come here." Kace waved his hand at Hope, gesturing her to come closer, yet the girl was running towards the house. "You said you want a kiss? I will give you as many kisses as you want. Come here."

Meanwhile, Hope was laughing heartily. It was so nice to let out some tensions by teasing each other like this, after so many deaths that occurred in less than three hours before. 

However, it didn't last for long. If they thought the battle in the village had over, and they succeeded to drive away all the demon wolves, they were totally wrong. 

All of a sudden Kace and Hope could hear a loud scream from inside the house. It was Mrs. Lori, followed by a loud sound of explosion.
