619 HE LOST HER

Hope woke up dizzy when the sun light shone brightly on her face, she rubbed her eyes and remembered that Kace had been piggy backing her since a while—she actually didn't know since when, because she lost track of time. 

"Put me down," Hope mumbled and yawned at Kace, she stretched her arms and legs, made the lycan slightly lose his balance and had to secure her on his back.

"You can sleep a little bit longer," Kace said lightly as he could pick the scent of those centaurs who were nearby. 

"No, I will walk," Hope insisted, wriggling her body from him. 

"The centaurs are nearby," said Kace to her, but still didn't want to put her down. The beast liked it when Hope's warm breath brushed against his neck and her steady heartbeat thumped on his back, knowing she was this close and put him at ease. 

"I will walk," Hope said again, as she wriggled her body trying to break free.
