THE MONSTER THAT I LOVE

Hope was staring at the bright moon above her head. It was only a few hours before the night ended, when she felt a movement from someone who slept on her lap. 

They were in the clearing, surrounded by the hunters who took turns to watch for the night. They chose to stay here until the sun rose, and with the help of Lydia, Leon and Abby, they casted some spells in a small area inside this forest for protection. After all the three people needed to rest and Kace was totally exhausted and lost his consciousness due to the exerted battle earlier. 

"Hope…" Kace's voice was hoarse and dry when he called her name. 

Hope lowered her head, and met with Kace's blue eyes, the lycan tried his best to keep his eyes open, but it seemed that it needed a lot of effort from him. 

Running her fingers on his curly hair, Hope said softly. "You need to rest."
