Kace was still slightly confused with his surroundings, but the first thing that came into his mind was his mate, Hope. And then the scene of how the beast's wrath was rampant, without him who was not able to control his monstrous side then.
He felt like he had been sleeping for way too long. But despite he was deep in his sleep, he still could comprehend what was happening around him while being out of reach from control, Kace felt like he was being under water, literally.
He felt exhausted, but the thought of Hope and the last thing that he could remember, turned him furious and frustrated. He needed to see his mate, he needed to know that Hope was fine, that she was safe.
When he couldn't see her or smell her scent, everything in him screamed with fear. He was afraid if something had happened to her and if he failed to protect her.
