Chapter 400 - IS IT HER?
"Don\'t bad mouthing my mate\'s skill!" Alec slapped Kace\'s back as he snatched away the fork from his hand. "After sometime, you will get used with this. Actually this is not very bad."
Alec proved it by bringing the bowl to his mouth and gulped down the slimy vegetables in one go.
"Yuck!" Kace grimaced when he watched that in horror. "What do you mean after \'sometime\'? I have been eating this for more than thirty years and I am still not used to this.
"Then I think you need more than a hundred years to appreciate it." Ariana chimed in as she put another bowl in front of Kace. "Here you go."
Though Kace would complain endlessly about how poor Ariana\'s cooking skill, but he would come over and over again for dinner if he had time or when he was around.
Because Kace was often travelling to different places.
However, this was the only place where he would stay for three or seven days before he started his journey again.
A journey to find his mate, or the witch.
Serefina, being the annoying self she was, the witch actually left him to fend himself, in the realm that he had no idea how to survive here while he couldn\'t go back to the castle.
After what Maximus would report to Jedrek, Kace doubted that his brother would be generous enough to let him live without losing a limb or two.
Before Serefina disappeared, once again, she suggested for Kace to look for Torak in this realm as his second brother had established himself here.
But, the thought of having another Alpha- brother to control his life again, Kace turned down the idea almost immediately.
Kace didn\'t want to have his brother breathed on his neck.
Another consideration was because Kace didn\'t know how Torak\'s perspective about this mate things. He didn\'t have an open personality, well Jedrek too.
And Kace didn\'t want to risk it by betting on something that he was unsure about.
Thus, in a blink of eye, another decades had passed, and during that long period of time, Kace had wandered many places in order to find Serefina or his mate, if he was lucky enough, maybe he could find both as the witch also looked for her.
Kace was always the positive type, but this long- wait sometime took a toll on him and he became frustrated with whatever he did.
Twenty years ago Kace met Alec and his mate, Ariana. Alec was one of Torak\'s people, an Alpha for certain territory under his brother.
He had known each other ever since the great war and now he helped Kace to hide from Jedrek and Torak. Such a brave Lycan, if Kace could say.
Alec didn\'t only go against one but both of Kace\'s older brothers that was one of the reasons why Kace didn\'t want to stay for long time in his pack and gave him and his little family unnecessary trouble.
Though Kace would frequently visit him.
"Uncle Kace, spoon!"
A little and childish voice pulled Kace out of his thought as he looked at the small child in front of him, who was giggling at him.
"You want this spoon?" Kace raised a spoon near his hands, which had her favorite character on it.
"Spoon!" she stretched out her little arms, asking for her spoon.
"I will give you the spoon if you give me a hug." Yet, before Kace got what he wanted, he had a harsh smack on his back.
"Don\'t you dare to touch my daughter!" Alec growled angrily at Kace.
"Why!?" Kace touched his aching back. "Why? She likes me!"
"Figth! Fight! Fight!" Arabella giggled when she watched her uncle and her daddy were bickering again and her mother was busy to prepare dinner for her family.
"You want me to fight your daddy, honey?" Kace winked at the three years old baby, who was jumping on her seat excitedly. "See? She likes me more." Kace stated and it was regarded by another blow on his back.
"Boys! Stop it!" Ariana came with the last plate in her hands, a signature dish of lamb meat, the only thing that Kace\'s taste could tolerate. "Or no one from you will have a dinner!"
It was true that both of them have the Alpha\'s blood on their veins, but in this moment, it was the woman in charge.
"Okey." Kace and Alec replied obediently.
"Here you go little one." Kace stretched out his arms to give the spoon to Arabella and rubbed her curly brown hair.
However, before they could start their dinner, there was a sound of doorbell ringing.
"Who comes at this hour?" Ariana frowned and was about to stand up before Alec stopped her and said he would check whose coming.
Alec walked toward the door and looked at the guest through the peephole. His expression turned unsightly by what he was seeing, he immediately opened the door as the night wind blew inside the house, brought the scent of the witch and something in her arms into the house.
"Serefina!" Alec mentioned his name in surprised. "What are you doing here?"
Yet, before he could say anything or invited her to come into the house, Alec could hear heavy steps from behind him.
Serefina shifted her green lime eyes from Alec to Kace, who was standing foolishly, two meters away from the doorway.
"Hi Kace." Serefina greeted him lightly.
"Don\'t \'hi\' me!" Kace growled, but his eyes glued to a bundle that Serefina was cradling in her arms.
"Well." Serefina shrugged. "Then, tell me. Is it her?"
