“What are you, her keeper?” my sister asks with her hands on her hips. Melvon is quiet at her side. She pushes past him and comes directly to me, grabbing me by the shoulders and checking me over. “You didn’t come back. Why didn’t you come back?”
“You know why,” I tell her, pulling away.
“She would never hurt you.”
“I don’t think she can hurt me, Tanya, but she will try anything for her daughters.”
“I want you to come back. She asked that I bring you back, where it’s safe.”
“It’s not safeanywhere.” That’s when I look around and realize we are in a quadrant, a place where we once shopped for food and anything we could afford. What once was a thriving market is now next to nothing. “But I don’t plan to go back there.”
“Where do you plan to go?” she asks, her voice growing more frantic. “Here?” She waves her hand around the quadrant. “This is nowhere. You are going nowhere.”
“We are going to the castle.” We both turn at Max’s voice. He has a determined look on his face. “We will talk to your king. If he doesn’t let us stay, I’ll have no choice but to end him.”
“He won’t let you stay,” Tanya says without hesitation. “Least of all with her.” She nods her head in my direction.
“You may be right, but Talia is mine now. It’s done, and no one can break that bond.”
I look at him, a little bewildered.
What does that mean?
Is he merely saying that for the sake of saying it?
That’s not like him. What he says, he always means.
“You claimed her?” Tanya asks incredulously.
“Claimed me?” I ask, confused, I didn’t think his words rang true, I should have known better.
“Yes. Just as a wolf can claim their mate, the same can be done for Angels.”
“I’m not an Angel,” I remind him.
“Doesn’t matter. Your boyfriend is part Angel, and now you have a big fat warning sign on you to other Angels,” Tanya says before Max can answer.
“How did you learn this?” I ask, my brow furrowed.
“I read a lot when I was at the castle,” she replies in a small voice. “She kept me in there for weeks by myself.”
I don’t know what to say to that, so I turn back to Max. “You and I are going to talk.”
He only nods with a smirk attached to those beautifully sinful lips. One that I know I won’t care to argue with.
ChapterSixteen
I’m not really sure what I’m supposed to call Lucifer.
Dad?
Father?
Devil?
Lucifer?
I think I may just stick to Lucifer to be safe.
