IT WILL BE EASIER FOR US
"Wings?"Kace widened his eyes and then chuckled. "Do you really think every angel have wings?"0
"They don't?" Hope's face fell in disappointment.
"I don't know. The only angels I ever met were guardian angels and they obviously didn't have wings." Kace told the truth.
"What other strengths do I have besides my blood that can harm the devil?" Hope gulped down her drink and looked at Kace eagerly. "Can't I become invisible or move things without touching them?"
"You watched too many movies girl." Kace tousled her head and Hope rested her chin on the table as she yawned.
"There are a lot of things that I want to ask you…" but, after eating and feeling satiated, Hope became sleepy.
"You can ask me tomorrow." Kace stared at his sleepy mate. She looked adorable no matter what she did. "I will be around, you don't need to be this rushed."
"I am afraid you will leave all of a sudden and disappear without a word. And, I have to wait for God knows how many years until for you to come back again." Hope pouted, but she enjoyed Kace's touch on her head. She was like a little kitty now, asking to be rubbed.
"I had told you, once I came back I will not leave again." Kace propped his head while playing with her hair.
"You better keep your word, because if you go again, by the time you return I will not only have a boyfriend but I will not hesitate to become a wife to another man." Hope threatened him and this earned a low growl from Kace.
"I will shred that man into pieces." Kace said in a low voice, but his tone was laced with malice and this made Hope open her eyes widely.
"That is why you have to keep your promise." Hope glared at him. "I am still upset, you know."
"I intend to keep my promise this time, but don't say something like that again." Kace couldn't contain himself if he had to imagine another man touching his mate. "Now, go to sleep, will you? It is late already."
Hope sat straight and raised her arms to stretch her body, feeling her tense muscles relax gradually. "Alright."
However, before Hope could stand up and go to bed, Lana walked into the kitchen and poured a glass of water for herself.
"You returned early." Kace greeted Lana while the later didn't seem like she noticed Kace and Hope there as she drank her water unhurriedly before she replied.
"There is something that Serefina needs to know." Lana answered without looking at Kace. "But, I think she is not here."
"I thought she went to catch up with you." Kace slightly furrowed his brows.
On the other hand, Hope didn't seem like she wanted to sleep. Her sleepiness had evaporated into thin air. There was no way she wanted to leave Kace alone with Lana.
Call her childish, but the thought of them being alone didn't settle well with her, adding to the fact that for these past three years, Kace had always called Lana.
Despite the explanation that Kace gave to her, it wouldn't change the fact that during those three years they had grown closer to each other, right?
"No, she didn't come. You know, she hates being there." Lana took off her jacket and put it on the bar stool beside Hope.
"She will never change." Kace murmured and then turned to look at Hope. "Why don't you go to your room, you said you are sleepy?"
"No, I am fine now." Hope jumped from the bar stool and hugged Lana, "I miss you!"
Lana hugged her back, "I only left for two weeks."
"Lana, did you know that I am a guardian angel?" Hope kept hugging her as she asked. Hope was ten centimeters shorter than Lana, thus she needed to look up if she wanted to see her eyes. "Kace just told me about that."
Lana didn't immediately answer Hope's question, she threw Kace a questioning look. "You told her?"
"I did." Kace admitted. "Serefina had been nagging me to tell her about all of this."
"Hm," Lana only nodded as a response before she put her attention on Hope. "I knew."
"How long have you known about this?" Hope wasn't surprised at all, but the fact that Lana and Kace shared the same understanding made her feel uneasy slightly.
"Since the beginning." Lana shrugged her shoulders and casually let go of Hope's arms around her body.
"You have been keeping this a secret from me." Hope feigned to be upset as she tried to strike a conversation, so she could stay there and wouldn't leave the two of them alone.
"I am not keeping any secrets from you, but I can't tell you even if I want to." Lana boiled some water to make a bowl of noodles. She was very hungry after the long journey.
"What does that mean?" Hope didn't understand. "You want to tell me, but you can't."
"Yes, since I have been tied down by a vow with Kace, I can't do anything without his consent." Lana said it casually and with her back facing Hope, thus she couldn't see how the girl's face changed slightly.
"A vow? What is that? What kind of vow?" Hope crossed her arms in front of her chest, her obsidian black eyes darted from Lana and Kace back and forth. She didn't like this piece of information.
Why did it sound very intimate?
"When we found you, it was only a few days before we met Lana, thus we didn't really trust her." Kace didn't notice Hope's mood change as he was busy checking his phone.
"Yeah, and the witch forced me to take a vow so I will not betray anyone in this family." There was sarcasm in the way Lana said the word 'family'. "Since you already know your true self, I think in the future it will be easier for us to tell you if something happens because all the tasks I have done were related to you." Lana said lightly.
