"What in the hell happened to you?!" 

That was the first thing they heard from Kace after he saw Hope walking into the apartment with blood and mud all over her body as Serefina had not yet cleaned her up. 

"Kace!" Hope ran toward Kace and jumped with her arms wide open, she knew that he would catch her. "You are here!"

Serefina let out a depressing sigh when she watched the lycan visiting again. "Yeah, he is here." Then she walked toward her room straight, not wanting to be bothered with those people. 

"No!" Kace caught Hope, but he didn't swing her like he always did, instead he put her down and scrutinized her face and this made her pout her lips. "What happened to you? Did you fight with someone?"

Hope nodded her head vigorously, her eyes shone brilliantly when she spoke. "I did! I gave Drake a punch in his face!" She balled her small fist and punched the air. 

Kace raised his eyebrows. "You punched him?" He knew who Drake was.
