482: THE GUARDIAN ANGEL

THE GUARDIAN ANGEL

"I will try." Kace grinned, got out of the car and opened the gate before he walked back and then drove inside the garage. "I just want to make sure, how many questions do you have?"2

"Hm, three or four or more…" Hope answered him, unsure.

"It seems like it will be a long night." After he parked the car, Kace turned off the engine. "Are you sure, your pretty little head could take it all?"

Hope shrugged. "I will try my best to absorb every detail like a dry towel."

Kace laughed upon hearing her weird analogy. He got out of the car and closed the gate with Hope following behind him to enter the house.

"So, tell me what are your questions?" Kace took off his black leather jacket and draped it on the back of the sofa as he plopped down there, looking exhausted. "Come, sit here." He patted the spot beside him.

"First of all, I want to know why Serefina took me? I mean there will be hundreds of babies out there with a similar background story like me. But, why me?" Hope sat down beside Kace and stared at him eagerly.

This was the moment that Hope had been waiting for years. And since Kace wanted to talk about it, then Hope would ask everything that she had been dying to know.

Kace had this troubled look on his face as if he did not really want to talk about this, but he did not totally want to hide it from Hope either.

"You promised me years ago that you will tell me everything." Hope prodded. "Don't go back on your own words."

If Kace refused to tell her, Hope had a few plans in her mind to make him talk and of course, they also included her threat of not talking to him ever.

"I don't." Kace stretched out his hand and tucked Hope's hair behind her ear. "I am just confused as to where I should start."

Hope didn't talk again as she waited for him to start explaining. But, when Kace just kept his mouth shut while playing with her hair absentmindedly, the girl frowned. "I have been waiting for ten minutes now."

"I have been waiting for you for seventeen years, you know." Kace smiled tenderly at her.

"You can't compare the both." Hope protested. "I am just…" yet, her sentences were cut short when Kace started to talk.

"There was a prophecy and a war, centuries ago." Kace shifted his attention from her hair to her eyes. "Between the Lycanthropes and the devils."

Hope pulled her legs against her chest and hugged herself, finding a comfortable position to listen to Kace's explanation.

"Oh, I forgot to mention the curse." Kace mentioned it lightly, as if it meant nothing to him, when the truth was the other way around.

"A curse on the Donovan brothers, that they can't have a mate?" Hope tried to guess and based on the expression that Kace showed to her, apparently her guess was on point. "Ethan told me about this. He said that the Donovan brothers being cursed is quite popular among your kind."

This was also one of the reasons, which confused Hope and the thing that Hope had  been discussing the most with the siblings.

"It's a shame to have that curse and the reason behind it." Kace said solemnly.

The moon Goddess wouldn't curse them if there was nothing outrageous about what they had done and it was something that Kace didn't want to talk about or wanted Hope to know.

"If that's the case, what am I to you then? You said I am your mate?" Hope would be very disappointed if Kace said she wasn't his mate. Very sad and down even.

Knowing about the curse and the fact Kace didn't call her for years, was a great combination for Hope to feel insecure every time she thought about him with the possibility that Kace had mistook her for his mate.

"Of course, you are my mate. There is no doubt in that." Kace was very serious this time. "The moon goddess lifted the curse when the lycanthropes won the war against the devils."

Hope beamed with delight when she heard this. "So, I am like a gift for you?"

Kace tapped his fingers on the seat as he contemplated. It sounded weird. "I would like to say you are a blessing."

Hope giggled when she heard that and adjusted her sitting position. She figured out that using Kace's lap as a pillow was a good idea, thus she rested her head on his lap while his hand continued playing with her hair.

"Can I be arrogant for a moment?" Hope was laughing, her voice was akin to a beautiful melody in Kace's ears. "You had done a bad thing and moon goddess got angry and cursed you, but then you have won the war against the evil creatures, so moon goddess was happy and gave me to you, right?"

There was nothing wrong with what Hope said, but the way she phrased it, sounded very simple and almost like a fairy- tale.

The Donovan brothers had not done just any regular 'bad thing' and the war wasn't an easy victory either. Moreover, Kace had to wait for Hope for hundreds of years, to finally able to touch his mate, experience the spark and the heartbeat accelerating moments whenever he was with her.

"Right." But, Kace agreed nonetheless. "But if you are going to be so arrogant, probably I don't need to say the best part of it."

"Say it, say it!" Hope squealed and tugged kace's sleeves, eager to hear more.

"You are not an ordinary human, you are a guardian angel." Kace gave in and told her. "Guardian angels went extinct during the war, but the moon goddess said, they would be resurrected into human children to be the Donovan's mates. You are one of the three guardian angels."

However, there was something Hope really wanted to know once she heard that. "Why did they go extinct?"
