“He looks like dead weight,” I say, motioning toward Lawrence.
“He’ll be up soon. Whatever was in those syringes wasn’t potent enough to keep me down. Knowing Lawrence, he’s choosing the rest.” He rolls his eyes, but I see the affection he holds for his brother.
“What does Lawrence want with the portal to the Fae kingdom?”
“He’s on a quest...”
“Do you really think it’s a good idea to confide in this angel?” Lawrence says, coming to.
“Nice of you to join us, brother. We’re all locked in here. I don’t see any reason not to trust her.”
“You don’t have to tell me. I get needing to keep your cards close in this place. There are eyes and ears everywhere.”
“At least one of you is thinking straight,” Lawrence says, sitting up. “I meant no offense to you, Victoria.”
Julian doesn’t pay attention to his brother, diving into his agenda. “Our mates.”
Lawrence grunts at Julian’s words. “Speak for yourself. Your mate. My friend.”
Julian rolls his eyes again, and I wonder what that’s all about.
“My fiancé’s sister was stolen at birth and taken to the Fae kingdom. There’s a portal here to that world, and I need to get Lawrence there.”
“I don’t know anything about a portal,” I admit. “Luke never told me about a way to the Fae kingdom.”
“Luke?”
I blush. “Lucifer. When we first met, he told me his name was Luke.”
“So it’s true. You really have captured his heart?”
I shrug. “He has a heart, Julian. He has mine.”
“A devil and an angel? I don’t mean any insult, but how exactly is that supposed to work? He’s evil and you’re pure.”
I snort. “I’m far from pure. I’m fallen, remember. And Luke... he’s not who you think he is, Julian. He’s bound by duty to rule Hell, but he does it for the right reasons.”
“Which are?”
“To preserve humanity. He knows that’s God’s will.”
Julian offers a small smile. “I might find I like this Luke guy.”
I grin. “He’s quite a character. I think you would absolutely like him.”
“Would you two girls stop gossiping and start planning our escape? I’m wasting away over here, and that guy’s screaming isn’t doing anything for my headache.”
I’d completely forgotten the soul undergoing torture. I refuse to look, knowing my stomach will only revolt if I see what’s transpiring.
“What do you plan to do when you get to the Fae kingdom?”
“He’s going to get Molly and get out. The Fae are not known for being welcoming,” Julian explains, and Law huffs.
“What was that, Julian? The Fae are not welcoming? Isn’t that what I told Maggie? And aren’t you the one who told me I was being ridiculous by not allowing her to go?”
“Maggie?” I ask, my head bouncing back and forth between the bickering brothers.
“Maggie is my familiar.”
