568 THERE IS NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT

"Enough!" Carina's voice rang through the clearing as she watched how this situation would unfold, once both parties were not willing to back down. "Step back!" 

"Carina! You can't do that!" The centaur, who was standing next to her grabbed her upper arms and glowered. "Don't you remember what that beast had done to our kind?!" 

The white lycan took a defensive stance as he tried to wriggle his neck from Hope's tight hug, if his mate kept doing this and the battle broke out, he wouldn't be able to move freely.

However, that was not the thing that Hope wanted. Whether the beast Kace could handle those centaurs--despite his injuries, or not, the aftermath of this battle wouldn't bring benefit to either the two of them. 

"You don't need to remind me." Carina swatted the hand that grabbed her. "But, we oblige to our chief's rule and perspicacity, and that's what exactly I am doing now."
