Ifelt it the moment she realized it.
Finally.Finally, finally, finally.
Her power burned through our bond like wildfire—for a second, I was worried that it’d be too much for her to handle.
The screens were acting like they had a bad signal, but I saw her white, glowing, gorgeous wings and her eyes. I knew it was done. The moment I stepped out of this cage, our bond would be complete.
“Lucifer, let me out! She did it! The bond is done!”
I was shouting, hoarse, but he didn't come immediately.
I banged on the barely visible bars. While I knew it did nothing, I needed the release as her rage pushed through me like a river.
“Lucifer!”
“I heard you, Sariel.”
He looked a bit frazzled, his suit a little rumpled, but he still glared at me when he arrived.
I glared at him. “Send me back.”
I was trying to be calm, but her feelings were blending into mine, leaving me a bit of a mess.
Lucifer’s eyes were flickering around the screens in my cage as he circled it, lips pursed. “Barimuz, bring her here,” he said aloud.
He snapped his fingers, and the cage opened; I didn’t hesitate to throw myself out of it.
Before I even hit the ground, I felt… cleaner. Better. Like I hadn’t just spent the better part of however long in a cage being tortured.
My angel was furious and eager, pushing all my broken bits back together as he came to the forefront.
Kill him.
I blanched.What?
Kill. Him. He will hurt our Aria; trap her here.
My angel—I should really come up with a name for him if he’s going to talk to me like this all the time now—made a good point. Barimuz eithercouldn’twhisk Aria into Hell, or was holding off; either way, I definitely need to get outof Hell.
Could I kill Lucifer?
The idea took root as soon as I acknowledged it.
I couldn’t look away from the fallen angel.
His eyes met mine, and he grinned. “Well, hello there, little beasty. Look atyou.”
It wasn’t until he spoke that I realized I could feel my canines elongating, my fingers growing claws, my entire being shifting—ohshit.
A growl tore from my throat when he threw his head back and laughed. “Oh, how fun! You even have the red eyes.”
Swiping a fake tear from his eye, his grin turned almost frightening, showing more teeth than I was used to.
I couldn’t even speak as my mouth lengthened to accommodate the sharp teeth now settled into my too-human mouth, but it didn’t matter. I didn’t need to.
My attention was focused on the way my body was morphing despite my best efforts to control it. When I was suddenly on all fours, snarling up at him, he didn’t even look alarmed.
“Your fur is speckled, too; how cute,” Lucifer gave a mocking coo, reaching out to me, and I snapped at his hand.
