Despite Lana's remark that also made sense, but that was not her true reason. She knew it was wrong to be manipulative, but she wanted to take more roles in this situation. And her desires of proving herself, so that Kace could notice her effort and genuine feeling, was hard to suppress.
"He will not hurt me," Hope stated. Even she herself was shocked at the confidence in her voice. How did she know that the white beast wouldn't tear her body apart the moment she walked close to him?
