The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 567 - A LIVING DESTRUCTION

Chapter 567 - A LIVING DESTRUCTION

A relieved smile was brought to Hope's lips when she watched the white lycan was approaching her slowly, though his red eyes still glanced at the female centaur behind Hope.But those eyes softened when they found his mate's obsidian black eyes.

The beast eased slowly towards Hope and nuzzled her palm when he got closed enough, his large paws sinking heavily into the damp grass.

However, an arrow was shot at lightning speed toward the beast, he howled viciously when the arrow, tearing his fur and skin, was stabbed deeply on his front leg. His eyes once again ablaze in fury.

"No!" Hope screeched when the thick, red blood began to pool on the ground. Kace was hurt and he was bleeding again.

They were, once again, being circled. However, this time it was the centaurs that surrounded them with their bow and arrow, which were ready to shoot the beast.

"Carina, are you okay!?" One of the centaurs asked Carina, but his eyes were still on the beast, there was nothing that Hope could see from them, except hostility.

They were in another episode of misunderstanding the situation!

The sound that Carina made earlier must be the sign for the other centaur to come and help her. However, they were late as Kace had arrived before them and killed all the demon wolves.

Carina walked forward, ignoring the white beast that snarled at every centaur there. If it was not because of Hope, who was holding the beast's neck tightly, he would have lunged onto them and tore their flesh.

"Kace, don't…" Hope was struggling to make the beast stop his way from endangering their lives even further.

If Kace kept being like this, those centaurs would think it was really him, who had threatened Carina and made the female centaur ask for help.

Fortunately, Carina stepped forward and stopped her fellow centaurs' aggressiveness. "It is not him." She used her body to shield the beast and Hope, bravely gave her back towards him, as if she didn't think that the beast could snap her neck into two in a blink of an eye.

Probably he would have done that if it wasn't because of Hope. The beast was still afraid to hurt his mate if he moved all of sudden, or let his mate be exposed to further danger with that many arrows being directed towards them.

"The threat was gone," Carina spoke again and stared at the centaurs with her hard gaze. "Put down your bow and arrow, you have shot the wrong creature."

Upon hearing that, Hope sighed in relief. This way there wouldn't be another bloody battle. She had had enough to see blood for these last two days.

"Put it down," Carina spoke again, this time more stern than before when she watched there was no one who averted their aim.

Reluctantly, they put down their bow beside their body and looked at the beast and Hope with puzzled looks.

"Why were you calling us?" a centaur with a yellow stripe on his hind legs stepped forward, his eyes still locked on the beast warily, just in case the beast is plotting?another idea to attack them all of a sudden.

"Demon wolves," Carina told them as she waved her hand to the tree nearby. On the surface of the three, there was a black char, which the demon wolf was slammed by the white beast before it disappeared into an unusual black smoke.

"Impossible, those demons are not supposed to be here," the centaur mumbled as he inspected the black charred on the three. "Wait, this is really the demons!" He confirmed it. "But, why are they here?"

The demon wolves' habitat was in a deserted place near the Uzu Mountain, which was very far from the centaur's territory; they rarely left that place.

Thus, it was beyond strange for the demon wolves to reach here.

"I don't know," Carina turned around to face the beast, who was still snarling. "We have to find out what happened. Tyrox, could you go to the village and tell Chiron about this?"

"Will do." the centaur, with yellow stripes on his hind legs, nodded his head and went to the direction of the village.

"Now," Carina put her focus on the white beast. "Can you ask him to shift back into his human form?" she talked to Hope. "I have to pull the arrow before I can heal him. I don't want to risk my life for being clawed as we--centaurs don't have a healing ability like the lycan does."

This was another piece of information for Hope. She just learned a new thing, that not all supernatural creatures had a remarkable healing ability.

"Kace…" Hope stroked his fur and grimaced when she watched the place where he was being shot. He couldn't heal if they didn't pull the arrow from his body. "Can you shift back please?"

As reply, Hope earned a menacing growl from Kace. It was enough to tell her that he wouldn't shift back. They were surrounded by many centaurs, which unfortunately, in the beast's eyes were a danger. There was no way he would put his guard down by shifting back, especially when he had his mate with him. His instinct wouldn't allow him to do that.

"Carina, can you ask the other centaurs to move away, please? I don't think Kace would want to shift back when we are being surrounded like this." As if Hope could read the beast's mind, she told Carina what exactly the beast wanted.

"No!"

"We will not leave Carina!"

There was a wave of protest from those centaurs.

"That beast will kill her!"

"Of course not!" Hope snapped at the centaur who spoke carelessly about Kace. "He saved us! You can ask Carina! Don't talk like that!"

"The beast saved you, he will not give a second thought on saving our kind! He is a living destruction!" The centaur's expression turned unsightly as he glowered at Hope and this only made the beast snarled back at him and showed his razor-sharp canines.

Once again, the situation became tense.
