Guardian has a supernatural gift. Alice is known as the Black Widow

was trapped into a bargain with the demon Teqon. One hundred years has
passed and he has come to collect. If she doesn't deliver Michael's
heart, she'll be damned for eternity. The bargain stands and although
Alice hides behind a facade of aloofness, she is very frightened.

He thinks Alice is creepy but as they work together and he finds out
more about her, he's intrigued. He uses his gift of teleporting to help

unlikely pair is complicated and incredibly well-done. The ending is
satisfying but the twists and turns take things in a new direction.
