Chapter 9(Rowen)After listening to Ambrosia explain what happened to her while she was out there with that beast, things started falling together in my mind. I wasn’t sure of anything really, but it almost seemed like Dominik was going against his brother. I remember clearly when he decided he was going to separate his good and bad sides. It was something that everyone warned him about, and he just didn’t listen. The repercussions of splitting your good and bad side could be catastrophic… Especially when you’re a fucking Archangel, and harness that much power. Once the ritual was complete that efficiently split the sides, it turned Azrael into Dominik and Andres. Andres being the bad side. Together they wrecked havoc unlike anything we had seen. Destroying species, plotting to gain control of territories, tormenting the supernatural world in more ways than one. Then one day they were just gone… No one really knew what happened to them. Word around the underworld was they went to a
Chapter 10I rolled off her and sat on the edge of the bed for a second just catching my breath before I turned back to look at her. “You are so fucking amazing.” I purred, pulling her over to me and holding her in my arms. “I think we made quite the mess.” She said, laughing. I looked at where she was just lying and laughed too. But there was quite a bit of blood there, which surprised me. “Are you sure you're ok? That looks like a lot of blood.” I said. She just laughed. “I’m sure… I’m fine, but your sheets aren’t fine.” She said. “Eh, fuck those sheets, youre sleeping in my room tonight anyways. Rosa will change them and get the stains out. She's amazing at that.” I said. She nodded, and then we both got up and headed into her shower. “Do you want me to heal you? I can heal you.” I said, noting that she was walking a little slower. “No… I don’t need you to. I will be fine.” She said. “Ok, well if you change your mind, you just say something.” I said, eyeballing her as a warning.
Chapter 11(Raziel) I didn’t say much when Ambrosia was talking, but I never really do. I’m more of a stay in the background and assess the situation type of person. However, no assessment was to my liking. The fact that Ambrosia was able to control us was really bothering me. What fucking type of magic could she possess that would allow that? No other supernatural creature could even touch our magic… Well, maybe besides a Pyromancer. But even they couldn’t control us. It only meant one thing… If she changed sides for whatever reason, we were fucked. I wanted to say she would never do that. I could see the way she looked at my brother anytime he stepped foot in the room. The longing glances, the way she hung on his every word… The way she shined when she was sitting in his lap. Everything she did was to ensure that he was happy. There was no doubt she loved him. Pet or not. I knew how strong love could be first hand. I just hoped that it
Chapter 12I was definitely interested as I sat back in my seat kicking my feet up on the chair in front of me. So my theory was right… The reel played on to show Andres destroying the physical Pandora's Box and Ambrosia dying with its destruction. I’ll give it to whoever sent me these outcomes, they were nothing if not thorough. I watched my brother, Rowen, run to Ambrosia’s dying body, taking her into his arms. I could see and hear his pain through his facial expressions and his stammered words. I could then feel the pain in his chest to my very core. I watched as he lost the most important woman in his life. I watched as she faded before his eyes and there was nothing any of us could do to stop it. His desperation reminded me deeply of parts of his Human life. While Rowen never lost anyone dear to him like my other brothers, Rowen never had anyone in his life to lose. That same despair he felt, the dame despair I was feeling now, was all too familiar when I recalled his Human lif
Chapter 13I shot out of my dreamwalk in a flurry of confusion before realizing what had just happened. What the hell? Why would he come to me? I mean, I suppose I know why... He told me why, but what was his endgame? It seemed like he wanted to help us, but why would he want that when it ultimately meant his demise? I looked around and realized it was already daylight and Rayne wasn’t in bed. I heard the shower going so I got up out of bed and headed in there. How the hell did I not hear her get up? I was the lightest sleeper ever. I must have really been deep in that dreamwalk. I shed my basketball shorts and opened the glass enclosure, stepping inside with my mate. I wrapped my arms around her from behind. “Good morning, darling.” I purred in her ear. She turned around and wrapped her arms around my neck, pressing her lips against mine. “Good morning.” She said against my lips. I pulled away so I could look at her. “God, you’re so fucking beautiful.” I murmured and I kissed her a
Chapter 14I arrived at Rowen's just as Ramses, Katrina, and Jade arrived. I took a seat in the armchair in Rowen’s sitting room. I had become rather fond of that spot. It was the ideal spot for me to be able to see everyone at an optimum angle. For someone who preferred to watch and listen, it was the ideal place to do so. The thoughts of what I saw in my dreamwalk last night were haunting me. How exactly was I going to get the point across that Ambrosia had to kill Dominik… Honestly, I knew she wouldn’t do it, leaving it to me. Always leaving it up to me... Ramses left Katrina and Jade with me in the sitting room, and he walked upstairs where I assume Rowen was. Neither Katrina or Jade said much, but I could feel Jade’s eyes on me. I looked up and met her gaze which she only held for a few moments before looking away. I snickered in my mind. Silly Humans. But I couldn’t blame her, she couldn’t help it. I turned to Katrina who looked over at me at the same time. “How is Kember?” I
Chapter 15(Ramses)Once we were back to Katrina’s house she went into the back room to start gathering supplies. I had no idea how she planned to reach the other Keeper, but they must have some sort of way to communicate. I knew she needed him in order to get to the Box, but I didn’t know just what it all entailed. I took a seat on her couch, pulling Jade down with me. She instantly switched her position and straddled me. “You seem stressed, and your eyes are going back to bronze, why don’t you feed? You’ll feel better.” She said. Just then I noticed my fangs were a little itchy and trying to unsheathe themselves. I did need to feed. I had been so distracted it had been a minute. I traced my fingers along Jade's neck for no reason really, I already knew exactly where I was going to bite her. I wrapped my fingers through her hair and pulled her closer to me, forcing her head back so I could get a good angle at her neck. Then sank my fangs in. She was right, the bloodrush was just wh
Chapter 16We had been walking for what seemed like ages when we finally reached a cliff. Looking down off the edge I could see the waves of the ocean crashing into the jagged rocks below. Over to the right there was a small space where you could walk down on some makeshift steps. They took you around the side of the cliff, but I couldn't see where they ended up. There was no railing and the steps were rickety. I wasn't worried about myself, but Katrina wouldn't survive a fall from this high. I kept my eye on her the entire way, but it seemed as if she had done this a time or two. Something about the way she maneuvered between the steps, missing the ones that seemed to be in the worst condition gave me that clue. My nerves calmed as we made our way down the cliff and I could see an opening towards the bottom. It looked like it opened into a cave system, however at high tide it looked like the cave would be flooded. This could be a disaster waiting to happen. Once we got down inside
