398 HIS MATE

"You are running away Kace." Maximus approached Kace and Serefina in steady steps. With him were five more Lycanthropes, following behind him closely.

All of them were warriors from the castle, people under Maximus. The way they walked cautiously toward Kace, indicated that they were ready to fight them if it was necessary.

Kace glanced at Serefina. Well, at least he wasn't alone, there was the great witch with him. He was sure that Serefina could handle them just fine.

Kace had never seen Serefina as someone who needed protection, since she was always able to handle her situations very well.

"No, Max." Kace shook his head. "I am meeting an old friend." He nodded at Serefina and she rolled her eyes dramatically.

"I see…" Maximus stopped a few meters away from them. "So, the rumor is true that both of you betrayed the Alpha."

Serefina frowned. "Betray the Alpha?" She looked over at Kace as if asking for an explanation.
