"Wings?" Kace widened his eyes and then chuckled. "Do you really think every angel have wings?"
"They don't?" Hope's face fell in disappointnt.
"I don't know. The only angel I ever t was guardian angel and they obviously didn't have wings." Kace tell the truth.
"What other strength do I have besides my blood that can harm the devil?" Hope gulped down her drink and looked at Kace eagerly. "Can't I beco invisible or move things without touching them?"
"You watched too much movie 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 felt satiated, Hope beca sleepy.
"You can ask 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 so rush."
"I am afraid you will go all of sudden and disappear and I have to wait for another years until you co back without any news 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 co back I will not go again." Kace propped his head while playing with her hair.
"You better keep your word, because if you go again, then the mont you return I will not only have a boyfriend but I will be the wife of another man." Hope threatened him and this earned a low growl from Kace.
"I will shred that man into pieces." Kace said in low voice, but his tone laced with malice and this made Hope opened 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 ti, but don't say sothing like that again." Kace couldn't content himself when he had to imagine another man touched 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 muscle relaxed. "Alright."
However, before Hope could stand up and went to bed, Lana walked into the kitchen and poured a glass of water for herself.
"You return 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 sothing 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 her 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.
Called her childish, but the thought of them being alone didn't settle well with her, added that to the fact these past three years, Kace would always call Lana.
Despite the explanation that Kace gave to her, it wouldn't change the fact that those three years they had grown closer to each other, right?
"No, she didn't co. You know, she hates being there." Lana took off her jacket and put it on the bar stool beside Hope.
"She is 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 when she asked. Hope was ten centiter shorter than Lana, thus she needed to look up if she wanted to see her eyes. "Kace just told about that."
Lana didn't imdiately answer Hope's statent, she threw Kace a questioning look. "You told her?"
"I did." Kace admitted. "Serefina had been nagging to tell her about all of this."
"Hm," Lana only nodded as a response before she put her attention toward Hope. "I knew."
"How long have you known about this?" Hope didn't surprise at all, but the fact that Lana and Kace shared the sa understanding made her slightly felt uneasy.
"Since the beginning." Lana shrugged her shoulder and casually let go of Hope's arms from her body.
"You have been keeping this secret from ." Hope feigned to be upset as she tried to strike a conversation so she could stay there and not to let the two of them alone.
"I am not keeping this secret from you, but I can't tell you even if I want." Lana boiled water to make a bowl of noodles, she was very hungry after the long journey.
"What is that an?" Hope didn't understand. "You want to tell , but you can't."
"Yes, since I have been tied down with a vow with Kace, I can't do anything without his consent." Lana said it casually and with her back was facing Hope, she couldn't see how the girl's face slightly changed.
"Vow? What is that? What kind of vow?" Hope crossed her arms in front of her chest, her black obsidian eyes darted from Lana and Kace back and forth. She didn't like this information.
Why it sounded very intimate?
"When we found you, it was only a few days away before we t Lana, thus we didn't really trust her." Kace didn't notice Hope's mood changed as he busied checking his phone.
"Yeah, and the witch forced to take a vow so I will not betray anyone of 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 sothing happens because all the tasks I have done is related to you." Lana said lightly.
