Your Guardian Angel (The Guardian Angel Series Book 1) by Skyla Madi Page B

intoxicating. Finally, I shook her hand.
    “Shall we get started?” she asked, gesturing to the couches and piles of books on the coffee table.
    I nodded and we sat down.
     
    Two hours had passed and Lillian finally finished the introduction to all of the classes. I admit it, I was bored. If there was one state I hated more than being hungry, it was being bored.
    “That’s just the introductions, tomorrow we’ll delve into the first chapter, spending half an hour on each subject.”
    “Great.”
    She seemed oblivious to my sarcastic response. “See you tomorrow.”
    She left the room and I sat inhaling as much of her scent as I could before it all wafted out of the cabin. Soon after, when her smell died down, it was replaced with the sweet blood of a guardian angel.
    “She’s a goddess?”
    “Oh, now you want to talk?” He smirked, sitting back into the couch.
    “Oh now you want to talk?” I copied in a mocking tone. “Is she a goddess?”
    “Why? Do you want to drain her and become stronger?”
    My eyes fell to the floor. I wasn’t used to being attacked for being a vampire.
    “Yes, she is. Lunch will be here for you soon.”
    Lunch? I haven’t even had breakfast. I nodded in response. My throat burned at the thought of blood once again.
    “What did Mr Aleksandrov mean when he said it’s forbidden to be with a Guardian Angel?” I asked, ignoring Tay's lunch announcement and hoping to take my mind off my burning desire for his blood. 
    Tay eyed me suspiciously. “Are you hot for De Luca?”
    “Who?”
    “Eli.”
    I wanted to ask Tay to define the term ‘hot’ but I decided it probably wasn’t a very good idea. Eli’s blood wasn’t the only delicious thing about him. His skin was a nice tan and totally kissable, his eyes were a deep green, like moss on a rock by a pond, and his face was perfect, literally sculpted by angels.
    “What? No! I'm just asking why it’s forbidden,” I stated, forcing my mind off the forbidden fruit that was Eli De Luca.
    “Guardian angels can only be with guardian angels.”
    “Why?”
    Tay shrugged. “It’s just the way it is.”
    “What about goddesses?”
    “Untouchable by guardians; they marry their own kind or they die alone. Goddesses hold such purity they make the snow fall in winter and the flowers blossom in spring. Humans call it Mother Nature and rely on scientific reasons as to why the seasons and the weather change.” Tay shook his head. “No, it’s the goddesses that make all the beauty in this world.”
    “Has a guardian ever fallen in love with a goddess?” I asked curiously.
    “Yep, plenty of times… but they aren't here anymore; the higher power strips them of their magic and forces them to live amongst the humans. Many of them become vampire to get a sense of power again.”
    I stared at him, confusion dominating my facial features. It just didn’t make sense to me.
    “But guardian angels and goddesses are both pure…”
    “Yes, but the purity levels are different. A guardian angel isn't pure enough to be with a goddess or god. Gods can be with goddesses, which are male versions of you; the purity level is basically the same,” he explained.
    Suddenly, Tay didn't seem so obnoxious and I felt like maybe we could actually be civil to each other.
    “But you don't have to worry about that, for now at least. You’re the devil, pretty much. It's disgusting.”
    There went that thought. “You’re so annoying.”
    Tay opened his mouth, no doubt to say another smart ass comment, but his words never came out. His phone rang, interrupting whatever it was that he was going to say.
    “Mr Aleksandrov,” he answered. “Yes, the classes were fine… Okay.” He hung up and slid his phone into the front pocket of his jeans. “I have to go.”
    I was going to ask him why but then I realised I didn't actually care.
    Being stuck in this cabin was great at first, but with every minute that passed, it became more and more intolerable; there was
