Chapter 47
DEVON
I slid into the shadows in time to see Liam stiffen as Cain stepped forward, wishing I had some popcorn to watch the show. I decided to stay quiet and see what transpired. Liam was clearly terrified, and I didn’t blame him. If testosterone were an animal Cain was it, nothing but masculinity oozing from this man. I almost gave my spot away when Verity clocked Cain with a wicked right hook and I had to hold back a laugh, my friend didn’t have big balls, she had golden ovaries. Covering my mouth in my sleeve I bit back my laugh, rolling my eyes as Cain roughly grabbed her and hauled him against her in a passionate kiss. I swear I saw Liam’s eyes roll too. Not like he cared much as long as Verity was protected, we all knew they had been intimate but more out of necessity than want. Plus he had Cassi now, and they were quite the pair according to Todd.
I smiled so

TODDI paced the room waiting for Devon to come back, my nerves more than frayed and my emotions stutter stopping with the magnitude of what had happened earlier. I had never dared to hope, to even entertain the idea that Devon felt the same way as I did. Devon. I refused to let this ruin our friendship, in this mad world all we had was each other, and he was easily the most important person to me. Despite his appearance he was fierce in his own right, his brain on another level than most with his analytical skills. He was shorter than me by several inches, and where we both were made up of lean muscle he was more slender than I was. His almost black hair was always in a flop to the side, his brown eyes missed very little when he entered a room. And this amazing human wanted me, just as much as I wanted him; it was so wonderful it hurt. In a world where everyone was torn apart, and love was rare; this scared me.

VERITYI wasn’t going to lie, I had felt safer with Cain beside me for this trip but was glad to be back with Shamshiel as well. Something about having them both with me soothed me on a deeper level. Cain hadn’t let me out of his sight, not even to piss; which I was having to do more and more frequently. My belly was just slightly rounded, giving the impression I was either bloated or had eaten too much. I wasn’t moving much slower than usual, but Cain kept insisting we have breaks on our journey back, and when I said I didn’t need one the man would growl at me. So I acquiesced even though I had to admit I wasn’t adverse to him growling at me in other situations. When we had finally made it back I spent the night curled on top of one of Shamshiel’s wings, Cain spooning me from the other side. The men were oddly at peace with being so intimate with each other around me, I was not

LIAMI had been balls deep in Cassi when it sounded like someone was about to beat my fucking door down. They wouldn’t take silence as an answer and the beating continued, then I heard Kenneth’s voice and I’d be damned if that asshole didn’t sound the most terrified I had ever heard him.“Liam get your ass out here NOW!” He was roaring, his fists threatening to come through the metal.“I’m coming, you overgrown pigeon!” I yelled back, throwing on my pants quickly while Cassi burrowed under the sheets, hiding her nudity. I threw the door open, really annoyed at being interrupted; but one look at Kenneth changed all that. His shirt was hardly there, torn, tattered and covered in blood. One wing was drooping and laid cockeyed on the ground behind him, blood splattered

TRIGGER: Depicts graphic violence and suicideTODDI sliced through the flesh of the Nephilim in front of me easily, but it seemed like any time one died five more took their place. I grunted, pulling my sickle from the now lifeless body of this one. I felt like I had cut down damn near a hundred or more, and my stamina was running low to say the least. Shamshiel was still battling Baraqiel in the sky, the two of them moving so gracefully it looked like dancing. Except it wasn’t. Blood splatter periodically rained down from above as many Nephilim on both sides took to the skies, swooping and dodging as they fought. At this point it was practically raining blood, and it had become hard to see the sky, there were just so many overgrown bats up there. I swung my sickles, sending the excess blood flying and looked up to see my next opponent. He was a big guy, and I drew in a breat

VERITYI watched Usel fall, kicked off Baraqiels sword, as a cry ripped from my throat as her blood sprayed in the air, her limp body barreling toward the ground. Shamshiel raced towards her, a feral noise coming from him as he ran to his daughter. At the same time I heard another voice above the din of battle, Todd had fallen to his knees, his eyes trained on a Nephilim. A Nephilim who had Devon in his hand, as I watched Devon’s head caved in on itself and exploded, his blood splattering the creature in front of him in a crimson red sheen. His scream pierced my ear drums and I felt my heart twist as the Nephilim tossed his body to the ground, where it lay crumpled. Cain moved in front of me as I watched the scene unfold. Todd's body moved like I had never seen it move before, the rage in him evident as he attacked. His movements fluid and strong as he engaged the Nephilim, finally slicing the back of his legs, cutt

LIAM Lightning cracked through the sky, painting the scene before me in a deathly light, the electricity crackling through the air causing the hairs on the back of my neck to stand straight the fuck up. I watched the sway and flow of Cassi’s body before me as she worked her ball and chain, the silver metal forged by an angel she murdered speckled in blood. The glint of it catching the lightning as it snapped and cracked above our heads, illuminating the deadly dance going on above us. My eyes could hardly look away as Shamshiel and Baraqiel wove and circled each other like wolves, their motions fluid and easy. That was until I heard the scream, the scream that caused my stomach to drop through my feet. We froze, not by choice, at the noise. Our bodies going stiff as we became living statues, forced to bend under the weight of Kokabiel’s scream. My mind began racing, we were helpless, and I knew without a shadow of the doubt the enemy would capitalize on that. I saw Verity out of the
Rise of The Fallen Chapter 54
VERITY My heart stopped beating as I watched Kokabiel thrust his sword again into Cain’s chest, the blood arcing through the air. I felt something deep inside me snap painfully as Cain’s body stilled. My chest grew tight and something bubbled up from deep inside me, forcing its way out of my mouth in the form of an ear piercing scream that wouldn’t end. As I watched Cain’s mark light up, his body coming back to life before me I couldn’t stop myself, the noise continuing to spill from my lips. Finally I could clamp my mouth shut as I watched Cain rip Kokabiel’s wing off, throwing it to the ground and then spitting on it; the blood in his saliva staining it red as it landed and splattered on the feathers. My body refused to move as I watched him brutalize the angel. Kokabiel laughing the whole time, as if he were enjoying this, the sick fuck.

SHAMSHIEL The son of Baraqiel had Verity in his arms, and he looked like he had quite literally been to Hell and back. His clothes were tattered and wings bloodied, he had been out here prior to our arrival then I gathered. I wanted to trust him, but he was Baraqiel’s son; and to be honest I wasn’t sure. Yes, he had gone up against me when I had taken Verity but that wasn’t enough for me to trust his intentions were good. Yet I had no time to stop him, my opponent greater than me in strength. I was holding my own, but it wouldn’t last much longer. I scanned the battlefield and was horrified to notice humans fighting humans, which meant The Officials had sent their army. The ground was covered in blood as the battle raged on, Nephilim on Nephilim, brothers and sisters divided. My own children divided. It had come to this. We had always known it would, and the thought upset me; and most of us on this side. The others, well, if Kokabiel was any indication, they probably didn’t care. I
