It’s in this moment I realize I’m afraid. I thought I wanted to see Andre, to confront him and try to understand his choices. But now? It’s clear. He’s in love with Raven and believes in her purpose over the Higher Power’s.
I have to leave.
I unfurl my wings and prepare to take flight, keeping my eyes on Andre and Raven. Like he senses the weight of my stare, Andre jerks away from Raven. The dark depths of his brown eyes light with the flames of Hell, igniting inside him. Lava-like veins glow under his skin, traveling to his heart and what keeps Hell together with him as its anchor.
“Zade.” The sound of my name on his lips washes a wave of foreign emotions over me.
I cringe at the toxic anger and hatred whipping from Andre to me. “Andre, I...” What do I say to him?
“You kissed the soul that belongs to Hell. And in my kingdom.” Andre’s comment stops me from trying to say anything else.
His black wings, glowing with red veins, expand out, and he sets Raven on her feet. She tries to block his way, pressing her palms to his naked chest. It doesn’t work. It angers him even more, and surprisingly, I grow afraid for her.
“Raven, stop. Be careful,” I say, holding my palms up. “You don’t have to—”
Andre explodes into his devil form, proving to me that he truly has lost his grace. The giant beast before me isn’t my brethren. He’s gone. Our eternity sharing Heaven’s grace has been destroyed.
Tears blur my vision as he charges at me, all rock and armor and full of hatred.
And it’s all aimed at me.
“You fucking bastard! I should take your wings.” Andre’s deep voice booms through the air as he scurries toward me, his extra legs moving him impossibly fast. He snaps giant pinchers in his fury, sending a high-pitched whistle with every thunderous clap.
I straighten my back and face him head on.
This isn’t who he truly is, and I won’t back down.
I will remind him.
His massive tail curls over his head, aiming at me.
Raven screams.
