"An angel who has been raised by a witch like Serefina," Lana sighed and added. "After all she has a trait as a human."
"Alright, maybe she will kill us if she found out about this." There was humor in the way Kace said it, but then the tiredness almost knocked him off. "Let's talk about that later…" he felt his eyelids dropped.
And when they found their room number, Kace opened the door and kicked his shoes and threw his backpack before he walked toward the bathroom.
"I will take a shower first," he mumbled and trudged directly to the other door. Not long after that, there was a sound of running water.
Lana put down her own backpack and scoured this small room. This room was indeed only fit for one person. A single bed, a single sofa and a small cabinet, next to the bed, with bed lamp on top of it.
Lana stared at the sofa, it was too small to accommodate Kace's body, but she was very sure, Kace wouldn't agree if she suggested for him to take the bed.
For some reason, Lana was very nervous and couldn't calm herself down. She bit her lips and stared at the bathroom door every now and then, hearing the running water came to stop eventually.
From behind it, Kace stepped out with mist from hot water as his background. His damp hair and droplet of water that trickled down his neck looked seductive enough in Lana's eyes.
The young werewolf couldn't take her eyes from him, especially when his white tee shirt sculpted his abs perfectly.
"I am done, I will sleep now," Kace's voice was very heavy and his eyes almost closed when he walked toward the sofa. He stretched his body on that small sofa and closed his eyes with his hair still wet. Kace was dead tired.
Lana bit her lips as she stole a glance at Kace and found the lycan had fallen asleep in matter of second. As a shape shifter, usually they would have stronger stamina than any other creatures, but this time, Kace looked very exhausted because of his wound.
Shaking her head to get rid some dirty thought from her mind, Lana walked toward the bathroom to get cold showers.
==============
The first news that Serefina got the moment she arrived in the red river city was; the guardian angel, which was Torak's mate, was being hospitalized.
She didn't have any idea how the angel became sick? From what she heard, Torak treated his mate pretty well, which meant, Serefina could save herself from the unnecessary drama such as; persuading the lycan to accept his mate and explained the importance of their situation.
Serefina could only guess that the angel only got a common flu, just like any normal human. She ruled out the option the thought about Torak became violent toward the poor angel.
However, the moment Serefina arrived at the hospital, only then she could smell something fishy.
The floor where Torak and his little mate were, was being guarded very thight. Lycan strolled around and Serefina could sense the tense in the air.
Not only that, the fact that Torak had provided excessive protection like this, could only one thing; there must be something happen with the guardian angel.
Serefina walked throughout the hallway, sending her magic here and there, so no guards could step in to hold her back.
It was quite easy when you could manipulate other people as you wish for certain amount of time and in a matter of second, Serefina had stood in front of the guardian angel's ward.
"VVIP…" Serefina sneered. From the other side of the door, she could hear noises from inside.
This would be the first time she would meet again with Jedrek's second brother and not like with Kace, Serefina was not too familiar with him.
Because of the harsh wind outside, Serefina was wearing her windbreaker and shawl around her neck. pushing opened the door she walked in confidently. "Am I interrupting?"
==============
Lana stepped out from the bathroom, looked fresh and a little bit more energetic after a good shower. She was wearing tee shirt and sweatpants in the same color of brown.
Her cheeks flushed and her hair wet with a few droplets fell on the floor, escaped from her towel.
Yet, the first thing that seized her attention was a soft heavy breathing sound, which coming from the sofa where Kace was sleeping now. Of course this sound was coming from him.
As if the man on the sofa was the gravity of her existence, Lana walked toward him absentmindedly and the moment she realized what she was doing, her hand had caressed Kace's soft hair, pushing the strands away from his face.
Lana didn't know from where she got this courage, but the fact that Kace didn't even awake after her touch, encouraged her to do more than this.
With her shaking hand, her slender fingers traced Kace's jaw line, relishing the sight how vulnerable this man now.
Kace was very tired and in so much pain, until he couldn't realize what the girl, whom he trusted, was doing to him.
Lana gulped hard when her eyes savoring the sight of Kace's full lips, which slightly open. Her heart was beating fast against her ribcage and she became worried that the sound of it would wake Kace up.
Lana wanted to retract her hands and didn't want to take advantage from Kace's unconscious state now, but, instead of pushing herself away, Lana chose to lean over.
She was slightly hesitated when Kace's eyelashes slightly fluttered, Lana froze in her position, which only a fist away from him.
However, when Kace's breathing became even and he seemed oblivious about what was going to happen, Lana leaned closer.
She didn't know what has gotten into her to have this idea or this gut to do this…
All she knew, there would be no other chance anymore for her.
