Chapter 541 - I AM HELPING YOU!

"But, those people are humans." Ethan, who rarely talked, caught up with them after being pushed by the crowd.

They were walking through a place that seemed like a market, since Hope could see many stalls were selling various kind of groceries—meat, fish, vegetables and many more.

"Hunters are basically humans. Originally, they were poor babies who were kidnapped by fairies." Lana helped Lidya to explain their situation since she had the knowledge.

"If, all the people here are humans, who were kidnapped by fairies when they were babies, why do they have scent?" The beast chimed in, annoyed by the people who kept bumping at him, if it wasn\'t because of Hope\'s effort to stop him, he would have killed one or two people there.

The beast remembered what Lana told Kace, these people not supposed to have any scent, unlike those people that they had met in town.

"I don\'t know." Lana shrugged. "I have never been here and this is the first time I have ever seen hunters. Before, I thought their existence was only rumor."

"The priestess is a pure spiritual being. I think by only being close to her, she\'d be able to cure the fae\'s magic from these people, who managed to free themselves from the slavery, either from the witches or the fairies." though Lidya was unsure with what she said. But for now, that explanation was more than enough to keep their sense of curiosity fulfilled.

"But, most of the habitants here are humans." Ian joined the discussion.

Ethan pondered for a moment. "Or maybe the inhabitant here are those weak creatures who sought for asylum?"

"Where exactly is this sacred land where the priestess lives?" Ian dodged two women who were carrying baskets on their h.i.p.s. The women giggled as they walked past him and Ian gave them a sheepish smile. He earned a slap on the back of his head from his twin afterward.

While the twin and Kace stared at Lana and Lidya, the last two people looked at Hope intently.

"I don\'t know exactly, that\'s why we looked for the candlemaiden first," Lana professed. "The thing that the candlemaiden had given to you, what did it say?"

"It doesn\'t talk," Hope mumbled as she fished out a small white candle, which as big as her thumb, the wick still blazed with blue flames. "And the flame is still blue." She showed it to the other before she put it back on her pocket jacket.

The candlemaiden only instructed them to go to this land and said that the flames would turn red when they reached the sacred place or the priestess nearby. Great! That was really helpful…

Kace scoffed. "And you said we would be able to go back before the festival when in reality, the ship only comes once a week and now we don\'t really know where this damn priestess is." He glared at Lana.

"If I didn\'t say it the way I said it, then you won\'t come, right?" Lana retorted rightfully, yet didn\'t dare to look back at the beast.

There was a vicious rumble from within Kace\'s chest when he heard Lana\'s justification. How dare this female werewolf fooled him that way?!

"So, where should we go now?" Hope was glad that she decided to come with Lidya here, or else she wouldn\'t be able to see Kace for… how long? A week? Two? A month? Who knew?

They were walking out of the bustling market and were in a quieter street, where there were only two or three people walked past them.

They were giving this small group of people a second glance, as though no one noticed their gesture.

"I… I don\'t know…" Lana answered while looking fl.u.s.tered under Kace\'s hard look. "What else Serefina told you?" she turned to Lidya.

"Why do you ask me?" Lidya crossed her arms. "This was originally your job."

"But, Serefina told you to come and help us, right?" Lana retorted.

"Keep walking," Lidya answered, unsure. "This land is not that big. It will not take a long time before we find the priestess or, at least, come close to her."

Lana grunted. She couldn\'t imagine if she really went to this place alone just like how she originally planned, probably she wouldn\'t be able to come back even after months.

Hope could only sigh helplessly. When the twins busied themselves looking at their surroundings, Lana and Lidya bickered at each other, while Kace didn\'t even care where they were as long as he had his mate in his arms, he already felt contented.

When they walked deeper into this quiet street and away from the market, the sounds of nature greeted them and this brought peace to their ears.

Well, aside from the stress and their current confusions, there was at least something that they could enjoy at this moment.

However, this peace was disturbed by some loud of footsteps and everything went very fast.

First, Hope could feel Kace\'s body tensed up and a loud snarl from Lana, Ethan and Ian, while Lidya screamed something incoherently, which laced with urgency.

The next second, something blasted in front of Hope with a bright blinding light. Her eyes forced to shut as a shriek came out from her mouth.

In Hope\'s blinding state, Kace\'s hand disappeared from her h.i.p.s and in his place someone dragged her away to a different direction.

The absent of the spark from this touch, telling Hope that this person was not Kace.

"Let me go! Kace!" Hope could hear a loud howl from afar as she was being carried over this man\'s shoulder.

Hope kept struggling by hitting the man\'s back and when her eyes could adjust with her surroundings again, she caught a sight of a dagger on that man\'s h.i.p.s. Without a second thought, Hope took the dagger and stabbed it on his back.

"Damn!" That man threw Hope to the ground. "YOU STAB ME WHEN I AM HELPING YOU ESCAPE FROM THOSE BEASTS AND WITCH!?"
