The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 486 - THE OTHER GUARDIAN ANGEL

"Is that about the blood?" Hope asked, the frown on her face did not disappear.

"Yes, and more information about guardian angel because your kind had disappeared decades ago, there is not much information about it." Lana finally gave Hope a decent answer about this topic, because before, Lana would only brush away her question and repeated her monotonous answer; 'You can ask about this to Kace or Serefina'.

"Why are you looking for Serefina?" Kace raised his head from his phone and turned to look at Lana. It was rare to see Lana neglected the task, which was given to her if it wasn't for something more important.

Lana brought a bowl of noodles to the kitchen islands and sat down beside Kace, because the bar stool next to him was closer to her position.

Hope bit her lips upon seeing how close Lana and Kace became, but her dissatisfaction evaporated the moment she heard Lana's answer.

"Apparently your brother had found his mate." Lana blew her noodles before she ate it.

"What? Which brother?" Kace was surprised by this information, he put down his phone and faced Lana, giving his full attention toward her.

"Torak." Lana answered after she swallowed her food.

Kace's eyes slightly turned dark, "Did he kill his mate?" he wouldn't be surprised if he did.

"No," Lana looked to the far distance as she contemplated for the answer. "I think he is fond of his newly found mate."

"Really?" this news surprised him now. "He didn't despise her?"

"Wait, did your brother found his mate? It means there is another guardian angel like me?" Hope eyes flickered with excitement. "But, why did he want to kill his mate?"

"Because it is our nature to look down on creatures that weaker than us and guardian angel is the weakest creature in the food chain." Lana answered casually.

What Lana said was a common knowledge in their world and since Kace had told Hope about her true self, thus she assumed the girl also knew about this fact.

Yet, she was wrong…

"What…?" Hope darted her eyes to Kace as realization hit her. "You want to kill your mate because you are ashamed of them?"

"My brother, not me." Kace corrected.

"You don't tell her that your other brother wants to kill her?" Lana pointed her fork toward Hope as she stared at Kace innocently, "I thought you have told her everything."

"Your brother wants to kill me?!" Hope could feel her heart was beating very fast now. "But, why? Didn't you tell me that a mate is the most important part of shape shifter's life? Why he wants to kill his own brothers' mates?"

"Not only his own brothers', but also his as well." Lana added. "But, Kace had not yet told you about this?"

"No, I don't know." Hope shook her head and threw an accusation look to Kace. historical

"Thank you Lana, now she knows." Kace frowned there was a hint of sarcasm in the way he talked to the woman beside him.

"Never mind, I am glad I can help you." Lana spoke nonchalantly as she drank her water and continued to eat.

"Is that one of the reason why you always on run? And rarely comes to see me over these years?" Hope narrowed her eyes at Kace. "Why don't you tell me? And why your brother wants to kill his brothers' mates?"

"For your first question the answer is 'yes'. I am not unwilling to tell you about this, it's just our previous conversation has not yet reached this point." Kace stared at Hope, who was looking at him cautiously. "Don't look at me like that Hope, you know I will never hurt you."

"But, why your brother wants me dead?" Hope frowned. Deep down, she was aware Kace would never hurt her, but the fact that his brother had this intention still shook her.

"That is…" Kace made an uncomfortable expression, as if he was being forced to tell a story that he didn't want to say. "… the reason behind it, is slightly complicated."

"His first brother, Jedrek Donovan, has a relationship with Serefina and since Serefina knew the moon goddess would bestow a mate upon him, she left him." Lana explained it to Hope plainly. "I think that is the reason why Jedrek wants to kill his mate and his brothers'."

"Thank you for your explanation." The corner of Kace's lips twitched when Lana explained the problematic story in an easy way.

"You are welcome." Lana finished her noodles and stretched out her body, feeling full and exhausted.

"I don't know that Serefina has this interesting love story!" Hope's face beamed, as if someone had enlightened her.

"Now you know." Lana noted.

"But, don't talk about this matter to the witch, she will be very upset," Kace warned Hope when he saw mischievous smile on his mate's face. "Never ever mention this."

Hope pouted when Kace talked to her sternly. "I know."

"So, Torak didn't kill his mate?" Kace mumbled. "It means the mate bond is stronger than his hatred…"

"But, the thing that I wonder is; why he could find his mate, when we have been looking for her for almost seventeen years and never found any clue about it?" Lana frowned when she remembered how many troubles she had been through to find the other guardian angel and as if someone was blocking their effort, they found nothing. "Is it because they are mate?"

"Probably." Kace nodded. He knew that Serefina and Lana had been looking for the other guardian angel. He would help them occasionally, but thanked to Jedrek, he always kept him occupied for running away from Maximus when Kace was not chasing after the Gluttony.

"So, your second brother didn't kill his mate, it means he loves her? Can I meet with the other guardian angel? Is she able to see what I see?" Hope was very excited to know this.

"I think we have to ask Serefina about that. Torak has sent a hunter named James to look for her," Lana said.
