“How could you lie to us about something like that? To me, your best friend, and Daniel, your mate?”
“Because how the fuck do you tell someone something like that? Oh—hey, by the way, I just thought you should know that with my wings I can kill you just by snapping my fucking fingers!” I spit, my voice dripping with sarcasm.
Diana’s eyes soften slightly in understan
Diana's voice brings me out of my sleep. I open my eyes to darkness, the only light coming from the moon.She looks at me with concern. "How the hell were you flying and sleeping at the same time?" She asks.I laugh a little. "My parents taught me, it's similar to what humans call lucid dreaming," I tell her.
"Wow so we’re all hybrids," I mutter. "Well kind of," Diana says. "What?" "I mean I don't actually know who my father was so the hybrid thing is more of an educated guess, don't really know for sure," she mumbles, half to herself. I purse my lips in annoyance. "That's not the point." "I wonder how many of the so-called problem angels in rehab were really just hybrids," Daniel comments. Diana's face suddenly lights up. "That's how we can take down the Council!" she says, jumping to her feet. There is a wide grin on her face as she looks between us. My eyebrow quirks up. "Uh, I think we might need an explanation for that one," I say slowly, glancing over to see Daniel just as confused. "Hybrids are more powerful than normal angels, right? So, we break them out of rehab and have them help us take down the Council!" Daniel lets out an incredulous snort. "Are you insane? Do you remember how high security was there?" "Yes, but I have also seen the strength of your pack. Plus, Ana
"Luci stay here," my mother sighed, pushing me down onto the couch.I frowned, huffing angrily. "I don't wanna stay here!"My father walked over with a look of exasperation on his face. "Why not?" He asked gently."Because it's awful! I'm here all alone, someone might find me and—what if you guys don't come back?" I whimpered, tugging at my shirt.My father pulled me into a quick hug and kissed the top of my head. "I know it's difficult Luci but they're expecting us. We need to go so they don't find you. You needn't be afraid, you are more powerful than any of their angels."My shoulders slumped in defeat. "Fine, I'll stay in the house," I mumbled."Thank you, now we should be back in a few hours but we might take longer. Just remember, do not leave the house under any circumstances," he said firmly.I nodded. I looked down at the floor, only glancing up when I heard the front door lock with a loud click.I stood and found myself walking to my bedroom. It was tiny, but so was the rest
I followed behind my parents, wincing at the ache in my body. My head was pounding and my chest throbbed with pain."Luci come on!" My father called again.I nodded numbly but pain coursed through my body when I tried to make my wings beat faster.But then my mother was in front of me, worry scrawled across her face. "Luca stop!" She shouted to my father.Her hand brushed over my face as she peered over me. "What's the matter Luci? Are you tired?" She asked.I shook my head. "My head and my chest hurt," I muttered. It feels like someone bashed in my temple and crushed my rib cage. Just the effort of talking sends a stabbing sensation through my chest."Maybe we should stop for the night," she said to my father."Alright, I think Logan lives nearby," he sighed."Would he help?""He'll do whatever I ask."My mother nodded. "Okay, come on Luci. Just take a deep breath and push through it, you're going to be fine."***I peeled my eyes open with a low groan. I squinted against the light sh
"Shit Daniel, I think you completely destroyed my ribcage," I cough. I grit my teeth against the stabbing pain in my lungs and clench my fists.He frowns. "Are you trying to make me feel bad about saving your life?""Sorry, it just hurts," I mutter, giving him a small side smile.
I have no idea how long they have been searching, but it feels like an eternity.I keep fading in and out of consciousness. In and out of pain. But the feeling of complete and utter hopelessness . . .. . . that feeling refuses to go away.
"Yeah no.""Come on, it's not that bad.""Are you kidding me? It's fucking disgusting!" I snap, grimacing at the bowl in his hands.Daniel raises his eyebrow at me. "Would you please stop being such a bab
Dozens of different wings, all mounted to the wall like trophies.My eyes start to burn and I swallow the lump in my throat. “This is horrible,” I breathe.“Yes, it is.”My head sn
