406: THAT WASN'T A GOOD SIGN

THAT WASN'T A GOOD SIGN

The sound that Kace made, piqued the baby's interest as Hope peeked through her long lashes, feeling the rumble noise from his chest.  0

Kace's dark eyes locked onto the girl's golden ones as a smirk appeared on the girl's lips tauntingly. "So… who is this lovely baby? After all these centuries, is this what you are doing? Baby sitting?"

The Devil knew about the prophecy about the resurrection of the guardian angels, but they were still clueless about the other prophecy, which mentioned that the guardian angels would be Donovan brothers' mates. 

"She looks delicious, isn't she?" The girl leaned her back against the rack behind her as her pair of golden eyes glued on to baby Hope.

Kace didn't like it. His beast was aggravated when the devil's eyes were fixed on their mate. 

"It is better for you to not interfere in this Beelzebub." Serefina entered the mini market and strolled toward Kace and the baby. She then shot him a look. "Calm down."

This time Kace growled at the witch.

How was he supposed to stay calm when the Gluttony was looking at his mate with her starving eyes? She licked her bottom lip that made Kace feel the urge to pull her tongue and cut it off. 

Kace pressed the baby against his chest, covering her tiny figure with the blanket, hiding her from Gluttony's eyes, as he continued to let out deep grumbles as if there was a storm raging within him.

"Go back to the car," Serefina spoke decisively. 

"She smells very sweet. Different from other babies." The girl sniffed the air and sighed in delight.

"Go back to the car! Now!" Serefina glared at the Lycan. He wouldn't take an order when all he wanted was to destroy the devil, who eyed his mate in a disgusting way. "You will hurt her!" Serefina reminded Kace grimly as her eyes glanced over at the baby in Kace's arms and his half- shifted fingers.

At this moment, Kace's nails had turned into claws, sharp- razored claws that would be able to cut anything in one movement, but the problem was, the baby would be hurt before he could make any move. 

Only after Kace heard Serefina's words, did he realize that he was still holding Hope in his arms and one wrong move on his part would cut the baby with his claws.

It startled Kace as his breath hitched and his body trembled because of the anger that he tried to hold back and the fear of hurting his mate.

"Go. Now!" Serefina repeated her order when she watched how Kace had returned to his senses. 

With one last livid glance, Kace stormed out of the mini market, leaving the items that he intended to buy. His hunger was long forgotten, consumed by his wrath. 

The only thing that he wanted now was to go as far away as he could from here, hiding his precious little Hope somewhere safe before he went insane from his encounter with the devil. 

Serefina was purposely not taking Hope away from Kace, because she knew once the baby left his arms the overly angry Lycan would slit the young girl's neck without batting an eye.

The problem was, the girl was possessed by the devil, hence nothing would change even if Kace killed her straight away.

The only thing she knew for sure, was the fact that it would only add more problems onto their load. 

Gluttony's eyes followed Kace's back until he disappeared from her sight before she shifted her attention back to the witch and grinned. 

"The great witch, Serefina…" she sighed. "How long have you been missing from Jedrek's side? Don't you miss him?" She asked tauntingly. 

Upon hearing that question, Serefina just raised her brows and was about to stroll out of the door to leave the devil behind when the latter posted another question.

"What is it with the baby? She is so different… she smells really good…" Gluttony shut her eyes as if she wanted to remember the scent of the baby that Kace was holding protectively. 

There was no way she would forget that intoxicating scent…

"You better stay away from the baby." Serefina halted to say her final piece, but Gluttony didn't let her go easily.

"Is it about time for the guardian angel to be resurrected?" Her golden eyes opened wide. "Is it her? The baby?" She licked her bottom lip and gulped hard.

Serefina didn't answer that question and proceeded to walk away from that store. She didn't even turn to take a second glance to see how the girl behind the cashier desk fell to the floor all of a sudden.

The loud sound attracted more people to rush over to help the cashier girl.

However, when one of the men held her, he found that her body had already turned very cold and she was no longer breathing. 

"Call the ambulance, the girl is not breathing!" People were shouting inside the mini market, trying to save the girl's life.

But Serefina knew better there was nothing those people could do to help the poor girl, it was too late as the devil had sucked her soul dry. 

"What took you so long!?" Kace roared the moment Serefina entered the car and turned on the engine. "Let's go from here!"

Kace's entire body was shaking uncontrollably from his efforts to keep his beast at bay. He held baby Hope closer to his chest possessively, just like an overprotective mother who was distressed over her newborn baby. 

Even when the baby stretched her small body uncomfortably and squalled because she couldn't move freely, Kace didn't pay attention to it, as his focus was to urge Serefina to drive away from the devil and whoever or whatever creatures that would harm his mate.

"What is she doing here!?" Kace snarled when the car screeched as they exited the gas station.

From the corner of their eyes, they could see Beelzebub staring at the car intensely while standing in front of the mini market's door. 

The determination in her eyes and the way her lips curled into a devilish smirk, made Kace grit his teeth. 

That wasn't a good sign.
