"I didn't sense anyone coming," Atlas mumbled softly. Faelon scowled and suggested he turn invisible and see who it is. Atlas nodded and vanished. Faelon watched Sophia coming down the stairs and he gestured for her to come quietly. She looked at him curiously and when she stood in front of him he grabbed her when the front door opened and held her tightly to his chest as he shielded her from whatever was coming inside. Atlas reappeared and gestured to the door."It's my father Rai," he said with a laugh. Faelon released Sophia and watched the dark death angel enter. "Hey Rai, surprised to see you here," Faelon stated firmly. Rai nodded and told him that he was there to speak with him privately. Sophia started to scoot off of his lap until Faelon told her she could stay."You have every right to know what is going on," Faelon stated solemnly. Sophia nodded and sat back down but insisted that it be next to him and not on his lap. Faelon tried putting his wings back. His back was so da
Faelon felt vulnerable standing there nude. He covered himself with his hands as the devil bellowed his disdain at him for marking a human."You marked a human when I strictly told you not to and your black wings are white-tipped!" Lucifer snarled. Faelon watched him with a smirk on his face. He was so thrilled with himself for losing his virginity to Sophia to have any care what the devil was saying to him."What do you have to say for yourself?" Lucifer questioned him."Perhaps you should find another to end Randall Mathis as I would like to enjoy my marked mate more," Faelon stated boldly causing Lucifer to explode in anger. The devil waved his hand and Faelon found himself in Lucifer's private dungeons. They were located directly underneath his bedroom of his house in hell. Faelon gritted his teeth as his eyes glanced around the dark and extremely hot cell. Faelon had been in the room before when he was young and unruly. At that time he wished for all things to burn. Since meeting
Sophia turned on the overhead light in the living room, illuminating the small room. Atlas pulled out two reaper cards that suddenly appeared in his back pocket. As his eyes raced across them, his brow furrowed."Hey Phil, check these out," he said, showing them both to the angel."How can that be, they both pass at the same time but in different locations," Phil mumbled in confusion. "Isn't that your home address?" Atlas asked grimly. Phil nodded, looking upset. Sophia asked them what was going on and Phil looked at her as he frowned."What did Vincent say about you being attached to Randall? His exact words, Sophia," he said sternly and she shrugged."Just that if I die my soul goes to his father," she answered. Atlas was rubbing his chin and cursed."Do you know what symbols he used? Did he say anything when he marked you?" He questioned curiously. Sophia began to panic and shook her head. "I don't know or remember," she muttered as her whole body began shaking. Sophia remembere
Sophia was experiencing PTSD symptoms at the mention of her attack. Every time Vincent's name was mentioned the trauma came rearing its ugly head. She was shaking her head and frowning. Her single eye looked dark and lost."I'm going to head to the hotel and see if the room you had is available, Faelon," Phil said firmly and stood.Atlas said he would go with him. Faelon pushed his healing warmth into Sophia as he told the two others to stop back when the sun was high. As Atlas opened the door a shower of gunfire rang out at both Atlas and Phil in a torrent of bullets. Faelon grabbed and transported himself and Sophia into Otis's office."Stay here and hide under the desk if you hear anyone approaching. I'm going to go help the other two," he said firmly. Sophia nodded then jerked his arm back."Please, be careful," she whimpered. Faelon pressed his lips firmly against hers giving a hard kiss and nodded."I will return, I promise," he swore as he brushed her chin and disappeared leavi
Sophia ran up the wood-planked metal stairs and went into the first room she saw. It was a bedroom and she noticed a telephone on the nightstand. She quickly lifted the handset and dialed the number for Otis's office. With her eyes facing the door she mumbled, "answer, please." When she heard Otis say hello she said, "Tell Phil I'm at a penthouse in the city. I don't know which one and Anthony is going to use me to take down Randall!" Otis was silent on the other line and all Sophia heard was a click and then a dial tone. She glanced at the receiver and frowning hung up the phone. Hearing the bedroom door open she turned and watched Anthony walk inside. Wringing her hands trying hard to keep her cool she stared nervously at the large man."It was a food delivery so you're safe to come down and eat with me," he said firmly. Sophia nodded as she hadn't eaten for a while and was hungry. "Thank you for not behaving in a preposterous manner. I despise females that let their emotions rule
Atlas's brother Hoka arrived immediately after Atlas had called and was shaking Phil's hand. The guardian angel was a bit concerned about the male due to his spiked black hair and both his arms covered in nautical-themed tattoos. He also mentioned that the female that was the concern wasn't at the hotel."How am I to read this human if she isn't here, brother?" Hoka asked Atlas bluntly."Can you just reverse the spell put on her? Give her soul back to herself or something," Atlas mumbled softly, seeing Hoka frowning at him."It was most likely a ritual and no I cannot simply reverse it," he sighed in frustration. Phil suggested that they all return to the room so they could include Faelon in the discussion. Atlas nodded and told his brother to come along. "If this Faelon knows this female I might be able to connect to her through his memories if he was close with her," Hoka mentioned as they climbed up the stairs. Atlas nodded and elbowed Phil. "They were VERY close, Faelon marked h
Anthony felt a tickle on the lower half of his face and peered out of his lowered eyelids. His eyes widened at the human female nestled against him. Her once-damp hair was a dried mess and was pressed against his neck and chest. Using his feet and arms he pushed her away from himself. Sophia didn't move and only whimpered a little before scooting her back against his side. After returning to the spot she was before, her unconscious protests stopped and her steady breathing returned. Anthony frowned deeply and rolled over. He followed the demon rules and his own to the tee of not getting attached to humans."I will never become smitten with a lowly human," he mumbled softly. Sophia's arms wrapped around his chest as her face rested against his shoulder blades. Staring out in the dark he gritted his teeth. Sophia's hands were chilled and he realized that she was probably just cold. Feeling generous he rolled back over and pulled her into his embrace to warm her. "Thank you," she mumble
Faelon rubbed his face in the darkness after his conversation with Anthony. He was curious if Lucifer was giving him subtle warnings about not being with Sophia because he would ultimately make him earthbound if he continued his pursuit. Atlas lifted his head and yawned."Who was that on the phone?" He questioned tiredly. "We can discuss it in the morning, go back to sleep reaper," Faelon growled firmly and Atlas nodded as he laid back down on the couch. Phil was sawing logs so Faelon nudged him to quiet down since the pair were sharing the large bed. He laid back and thought about the human female as he frowned. Wondering if she was worth Lucifer's wrath and truly his mate. Perhaps he had been wrong since Phil's heart had started beating like his. Frustrated, he covered his eyes with his forearm and forced himself to rest. Meanwhile, Sophia had awakened before Anthony and she went quietly to the bathroom to change. Wearing a plain designer t-shirt and pair of jeans, he had purchased
