Serefina rolled her eyes. "Don't act prude. Take it off!" She snapped at Kace when he crossed his arms in front of his chest comically as if protecting his dignity. "I had seen the three of you n.a.k.e.d."
"But, Jedrek's body is the only thing that you will imagine, right?" Kace said teasingly.
"Talk like that again and I will make your wound look like a scratch compared to what I will do to you." Serefina's voice was very calm, but she didn't miss her point.
"Alright, alright. No need to threaten me like that." Kace took off his clothes and turned his back to face Serefina.
The witch's eyes opened wide in shock. "You are so stupid." She said in pure irritation. "If someone like Maximus, who has lower rank than you could beat you up like this, I don't know how you will face the upcoming war."
"Don't talk about war." Kace's shoulder tensed as he let out a low- short growl.
"It will happen." Serefina raised her hand as a light appeared on the tip of her forefinger. "No matter how you will deny it. It will happen."
"The war will not happen. We live in peace now." Kace said stubbornly. He hated it when people was talking about war.
"Why do you think you have your mate now?" Serefina threw the question, which the answer was very obvious.
The prophecy was right. The spirit of guardian angels would breathe in human's child and the three of them would be the mate of the three infamous beast of Donovan.
It was a bless and curse, at least that was what the Donovan's thought the first time they heard about their curse was being lifted.
A bless, because having a mate was a bless to their eternity life, but also a curse as guardian angel was the weakest creatures in their hierarchy. Lycanthropes despised them.
But, not now, at least for Kace. He loved Hope from the first time he laid his eyes on her when she was still a baby, even before that.
The thought of having a mate and be with her was the only reason why Kace was in this kind of situation now, instead of letting his brother to kill his mate brutally.
"Can we talk about that later and focus on my wound first please." Kace felt uncomfortable with the topic.
"You can't run away forever from this. Sooner or later you need to think about this." Serefina traced the light on the tip of her finger on the surface of Kace's wound.
"Then I choose to think about that later." Kace knew the true purpose of the resurrection of the guardian angel, he just didn't want to think about it now when he just comeback from years of separation from his mate.
Serefina could only sigh in defeat. If Kace didn't want to talk about it, then she wouldn't have a choice, but change the topic. She was not in the mood to argue with this guy.
"Did you find any clues about where her blood is?" Serefina traced her hand to the second line of his wound.
There were four lines of deep wounds on Kace's back, it was clear to see what caused it. A shape shifter had clawed his back rather brutally.
However, the thing that confused Serefina was; why he didn't heal? With his healing ability, Kace would recover within days and it was impossible to hurt his spirit, yet even with her magic, the wound wouldn't close. Despite the fact she wasn't a healer, but it was still odd.
"I do." Kace nodded. The blood that Serefina referring was the blood that was being taken from the hospital when Hope was sick.
Ever since the blood was taken, something horrible happened within the supernatural creatures. Though it wasn't a big incident, but the fact it could lead into something big, wasn't an appealing idea. Someone, who owned Hope's blood, definitely wasn't someone with good intention.
"What is it?" Serefina had not yet exchange information with Kace for months, thus both of them needed more time to catch up with everything.
"It leads me to the northern coven." Kace replied, feeling a breeze of cold wind from behind his back. It must be Serefina.
"What is it? Witch?" It was most likely that creature had involved themselves in this.
"No, it's not a witch. Its Fae." Kace also frowned when he gave this information to her. "I know what you think about this."
"Fae is not an aggressive creature. Most of them like to leave in peace." Serefina frowned. If it was about aggression, then Fae would be the last creature after the guardian angel who had that kind of trait.
"I know, that's why it's confusing. Moreover, what is a Fae doing in the northern coven when that place is very… cryptic." Kace furrowed his eyebrows.
As far as Kace knew, the northern coven was limited only for the witches, no shape shifter really went there as that place was very dark and magical.
That was why, mystic river village was the best place to hide for rogue like Waggle family, the siblings, and them.
However, as the creatures that filled with pride, most of them didn't want to come here and looked for protection from other creatures' magic and power.
Thus, this village was still avoided by many of them.
"Do you have any idea why your wounds don't heal?" Serefina gave up, befuddled and gestured for Kace to put on his shirt again.
"I don't know." Kace scratched his head. "When I fought him, he looked a little bit off."
"Tell me." Serefina demanded.
However, before Kace could say anything, the door was pushed open and Hope's figure appeared.
"Serefina, Lana wants me to tell you… what are you two doing!?" Hope's eyes widened in disbelieve. The scene before her eyes was; Kace, who just put on his clothes and Serefina, who was slightly panting. They were both surprised. "Are you…?!"
