The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 693 - THE TWO GUARDIAN ANGELS

Meanwhile, it was the first time for Raine to see centaurs. She didn\'t even know that the centaur was real! Torak had never mentioned about them.

Raine clenched Kace\'s shirt even tighter when they approached her and was lost for her words when one of them talked.

They could talk! And sounded like human for her.

"She was from the same race as Hope." Chiron nodded toward Raine. "Is she the guardian angel?"

Even Raine couldn\'t register Chiron\'s question when she stared intensely at the centaur.

Among the four centaurs, the one who was talking to Kace was the biggest one and his voice laced with dominant. He must be the leader. Raine could easily distinguish it, since she had spent a lot of time with Torak.

Those centaurs were very big. Their bodies were built with muscle. The upper part of the centaur body was human, with broad shoulder that dropped to their torso, but from their waist down was horse.

Raine found it was hard to believe what she was seeing now. She was curios, but at the same time frightened by them.

"Apparently, she is the person who Hope sensed earlier," Chiron spoke and Raine missed almost the whole conversation between Chiron and Kace. "We need to go back to the tent and bring her with us."

"No." Kace objected. "She needs to go back to Torak and I don\'t want him to be close to us." Knowing Torak would track his mate down, Kace didn\'t want to keep Raine near their group. He didn\'t know why Raine was here, but he was sure his brother would collect his mate.

"You will leave her alone inside the woods?" Chiron crossed his arms in front of his burly chest, while looking at Raine impassively.

Well, it seemed he was nice, Raine thought. At least, the centaur refused to leave her here alone.

Kace grimaced when he heard that. Of course he couldn\'t let Raine to stay inside this wood alone, but he didn\'t want to meet his older brother too. Things would only go south if he met him.

"Why do you come here?" Kace turned around and exposed Raine to the centaurs.

And when the girl lost her hiding place, she started becoming nervous under the spotlight of the attention of those centaurs and Kace.

"We… we come here to find you…" Raine whimpered. She felt like she was close to get a panic attack.

In spite the fact that it had been quite a while since the last time she got it, but she couldn\'t help. After all, it was in the middle of the night, inside the place that she didn\'t know, among the creatures that she thought was only a myth. And the last person she thought would defend her, looked at her with displeasure.

"Why do you want to find me?!" Kace glowered at Raine intensely and she lowered her head in fear.

"Because… the war…" Raine gulped hard, she felt her throat became dry.

"How many people with you?" Kace asked grimly. He was sure, he wouldn\'t like the answer.

"Around… two hundred people…" Raine answered truthfully.

D*mn Torak and his people! He cursed internally. "We can\'t take her with us or let Torak find us." Kace concluded. He just needed to hear the \'war\' word to know the rest of the reason why Torak marched toward this realm to find him.

It was the same reason why Kace had fled from Serefina. Because the witch had talked about this when his mate\'s condition was barely alive.

Kace didn\'t care about what would happen to the world. He just wanted to be with Hope and the rest could burn into dust for all he cared. He knew it sounded arrogant and egoistic, yet sometime what we knew and what we wanted contradicted each other.

"Why?" Suppressing her fear, Raine raised her head to look at Kace. "The war is getting closer and we should…"

"I don\'t care about war." Kace cut her words icily.

Raine narrowed her eyes. "Those words are very ignorant." She remembered what the devils had done to Sunny, to Aeon, to her life. The pain of knowing that Torak was dead, still remained vividly in Raine\'s mind. And here, Kace talked that he didn\'t care about the war.

"I am very ignorant person if you don\'t realize it yet." Kace spoke sharply to her.

"You think you will be safe hiding here?" In her vexation, Raine found her voice to retort Kace\'s words. "There will be more people who will die."

"Trust me, I have told him about it many times, but he doesn\'t want to hear me." Hope interrupted as she walked into the clearing area where Raine and Kace were standing, facing each other in argumentation while the rest of the centaurs simply being bystander.

"Didn\'t I tell you that you can\'t come here?" Kace approached her and threw a dagger look to Zarn, who was escorting her.

"Since when I listen to you?" Hope whispered as she tiptoed to kiss Kace\'s cheek, to appease her angry mate.

However, the moment her eyes landed on Raine, they grew brighter and the fireflies swirled around them, flickering against the darkness of the night.

The two guardian angels stared at each others, fascinated by the other presence as they walked closer. "I don\'t believe it, I finally met you."

Hope knew by heart that the girl in front of her eyes was the guardian angel. She just knew it.

"I have seen you," Raine said.
