Synestra’s P.O.V.

“You were lucky I was jogging in the area and heard you screaming.” He said. “Are you ok? Let's get you out of here. My name is Syrus, It is nice to meet you.? He smiled.

I couldn't catch my breath, I was so thankful that someone had been near. I couldn't believe this had happened. So many thoughts had been swirling around my head. I had a feeling Lillith had been behind this. I was so upset with myself for allowing this to happen. How could I have been so weak?

I took Syrus’ hand and he helped me to my feet. “Thank you so much, I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't come by. It’s actually really embarrassing. How did you throw him so hard?”

“Oh it was nothing, you really should learn some

    Synestra’s P.O.V.I stood there lost in the hug with Gabe. His muscular arms around me, I felt safe, felt whole again. I inhaled his scent slowly, savoring the familiar woodsy scent with a hint of something sweet. I hadn't realized how much I had missed him. I almost didn't hear him when he spoke.“Is this why you have been gone so long?” He asked, pulling back to look in my eyes with his hands gripping my shoulders. “Who is this Synestra? Is this who you have been with for the past two weeks? You have had us all worried to death.” I could feel the sincerity in his words and a tinge of guilt ran through me. I wasn't sure if the guilt was for being gone so long, for worrying my friends, or for the things that had happened with Damien while I was gone without even a second thought of Gabe.

    Synestra's P.O.V.“Sorry for the dust we don't use this much. Make yourself at home, I am going to put our bags in the bedroom.” Gabe told me as he started towards the bedroom “Fair warning there is only one. I hope that is ok. I can sleep on the floor. I would say I would sleep on the couch but with everything you have been through I don't feel comfortable leaving you alone.” I nodded and followed him to the bedroom. Walking through the cabin I was taking it all in. The place was very small but cozy. The bedroom had a king size bed and two nightstands and not much else. The bathroom was attached to the bedroom and though it was small it had a shower large enough for two. The kitchen and living room were an open space and there was a small dining table only big enough for two.I yawned, exhausted from the long day I had. I laid on the bed and motioned for Gabe to join m

    Damien’s P.O.V.After synestra had stormed out of the dining room I decided to let her have the rest of the night to cool down. I didn't want her to feel like I was pushing this marriage on her if it wasn't what she wanted. The truth was I knew this may have been moving fast for her. I may have been in love with ther for years but for her she was still getting to know me. I had hoped that finishing the mating process would have made her feelings for me intensify, this was the point of marking her and I couldn't understand why the bond wasn't as strong for her as it was for me. I had never heard of a demon completing the mating process and not having the strong mate bond on both ends. The feelings I had for her had escalated to the point that shwe was all I could think of. I craved her, her presence, her touch, her scent. Everything about her.The ne

    Gabe’s P.O.V.Synestra had told me she trusted me. She had chosen me because of her trust in me. Yet I was lying to her, about everything. I wanted to tell her the truth. To tell her there was so much more on the line than our feelings for one another. I was honestly surprised that the demon hadn't already told her what I am just to try to turn her away from me. I wondered if he realized there was an emotional connection between Synestra and myself.We had been in this cabin for five days and the bond between us was only growing. We spent most of our days hanging out and getting to know each other on a deeper level. We traded stories about how we had grown up and the people we cared about. Some days we would swim in the lake, others we would lay in the hammock

    Synestra’s P.O.V.Gabe had run a warm bubble bath for me and lit about forty candles surrounding the tub. He had turned on romantic music, John Legend, I loved his music so calming but also so romantic. He said I needed to relax but I couldn't help but wonder if there was more to his actions than he was letting on. Gabe and I had become much coser over the past several days. We had spent so much time getting to know each other. It felt like we had known each other for years rather than just the few short weeks it had actually been. After about thirty minutes into my bath I decided it was about time to get out. I slipped on the silk robe I found in the bathroom and walked out into the open room.“How was your bath angel?” he asked.

    Damien’s P.O.V.Synestra had been missing for almost a week and I was no closer to finding out where that asshole angel had taken her. I knew there was only one way to find her and that she would hate me for it if she ever found out. I had to go talk to her mother. I had to remove the magic my father had used on her so she would know everything that had been going on.I let myself into their home, knowing Lailah wouldn't be home just yet. Her typical shift at the hospital had just ended and from what I knew of her she would be home in about fifteen minutes. I made myself comfortable on the couch after helping myself to a glass of sweet tea.I heard the sound of her keys in the lock and she entered the house. She sensed my presence before she saw me. Her wings sprouted from her back as she pre

    Synestra’s P.O.V.I wrapped the robe around myself as Gabe went to the door. My heart was beating out of my chest. I looked around frantically trying to come up with an exit plan. I had a feeling that it would be some of Lucifer's men at the door looking for me and I had to have a way out of here. I knew Gabe would fight them to protect me as long as he could, giving me extra time to get away.I slipped on a pair of Gabe's shorts and a t-shirt I found discarded on the floor after last night. I tried opening the window that faced the back of the cabin, I was sure I could make it out of the window before anyone could get past Gabe. I pulled up on the window with all of my strength and it wouldn't budge. I double checked the locks on the window , but still nothing. I assumed the window must have been painted shut. I knew I could make it to the ba

    Damien’s P.O.V.I looked around at the hundreds of dead angels littering the floor around me. I was covered in blood.. My blood soaked shirt clung to my heaving chest. The metallic taste of blood sat heavy in my mouth. Their white wings had been stained red. Blood was dripping down the walls and off the ceiling. I stepped over the bodies on my way out of the building. I took in the sights around, savoring the scent of blood in the air and the squishing sound with every step I took. I smiled, admiring the scene in front of me. It was official, the old me was back and it felt so good.None of the angels at Halo had given me information that I could use. I had to find someone that would be able to give me more information about Gabe. I decided to go back to Seraphine, hoping that she may have some more information.

    Synestra’s P.O.V.My brother has underestimated me. He had underestimated the power coursing through my veins. It was a mistake he wouldn’t make again. I was no longer the weak and timid girl I had once been. I would no longer stand on the sidelines waiting for someone to come save me. I was born to be a leader. I was created out of pure power and had inherited a strength even my parents couldn’t match.The look on Syrus’ face when I unleashed my fury upon him was enough to make me feel giddy. I was not used to someone being afraid of me. I had always been the one that was invisible. Now I had been the one that held his fate in my hands. I had been in complete control. The sight of him practically begging me to spare his life gave me tingles. When he tried to use a human as a bargaining chip he had severely miss-r

    Gabe’s P.O.V.It was the most embarrassing thing in my entire life to have Michael and Ramiel have to release me from the containment charms. It had taken me hours to reach Ramiel through the angel mind link after that asshole demon left me here to rot. I couldn’t understand what Synestra saw in him.I hadn't expected Michael to be with Ramiel when he arrived. I could feel a shift in energy as they entered the room, Michael was angry. I had failed again and allowed Synestra to be taken, even worse, That demon was out there right now working on saving her. She would see him as her knight in shining armor, rather than the evil son of a bitch he really was.“You really stuck your foot in it this time didn’t you?” Ramiel laughed. “Who the hell caught you in a containment s

    Synestra’s P.O.V.“Now, my queen we have much to discuss. Let’s begin with the plans for our ceremony.” Syrus said as if it was the best news I could possibly hear.“What ceremony?” I asked not bothering to placate him at this point.“Our wedding my dear. It shall happen tomorrow. I may not force you to share my bed chambers, but you will be mine. My queen in all ways. I am eager to make it official and that does include consummating the marital bond.”He was really insane, I had to find a way to stall him while I thought of a way to get out of my gilded prison. I plastered a forced smile on my face trying to feign excitement over his news. I could tell he expected me to be happy about this. Finall

    Synestra’s P.O.V.We materialized inside of a large mansion. I looked around noticing the marble flooring inlaid with gold. There was a large gold and crystal chandelier hanging over my head. I briefly wondered how heavy it was and if I would have enough power to bring it crashing down on my brother. I cleared the thought from my mind knowing I wouldn't be able to bring it down fast enough to catch him before he could move. Directly in front of me was a large, greek style, marble statue surrounded by a fountain. Off to the right of the fountain was a grand staircase. The hand railings were made of gold and the stairs were the same marble with gold inlay.“Welcome to our castle my queen. I hope it is to your liking.” Syrus swept his hand out gesturing to the mansion around us. I wondered who this house belonged to and

    Damien’s P.O.V.She was gone! That freak had taken her and there was nothing I could do. I had tried to move, tried with all my strength to get to her. The containment spells he had placed on the floor were working. I felt stupid for falling for his trick. I should have known he would have expected us to follow her. He had been watching us all, for months, he knew there was no way the angel or myself would let her go alone.The anger burned deep within me. Lilith had helped him. I knew instantly why she had done it, she would stop at nothing to get me back, to become my queen. She had to have thought she would have a chance with Synestra gone. Although her reasoning was counterproductive, I knew her reasons which gave me a good starting point to begin trying to break her down. She had released Aly as Syrus had promised whic

I will make the deal, whatever it is.” Albert begged.“You don't understand,” Damien responded. “That would mean giving up your soul.”“Albert isn't making any deals with you.” I growled. “I will take my soul and help.”“You won't be giving up your soul anytime soon, angel. We will find her. We just have to think of another way.” Gabe responded quickly.My eyes shot over to Damien, hoping he would be more apt to listen to me and make the deal I was offering.“I am afraid the angel is right, love.

    Synestra’s P.O.V.I took Damien by the hand and he snapped his fingers, in an instant we were surrounded by swirling black smoke. When the smoke dissipated we were back in Dallas. He had taken us to Albert and Aly's house. He must have sensed my need to check on my friend. I was feeling a little dizzy from the trip. I silently promised myself that I would have to practice travelling this way.I rushed into the house and ran straight to Aly’s room. Albert came following me into the room.“What are you doing, Syn? What happened to you? You were sitting here yesterday and then all of a sudden you were gone, where did you go?” Albert asked.“Have you seen Aly?” I asked, frantically.

    Synestra’s P.O.V.“You may want to listen to him, sis. Some people, like Damien and myself, are just born evil.” I turned to see a familiar face with those hauntingly familiar eyes.“Syrus.” I acknowledged, my voice cracking somewhat.As I looked into his eyes I could see the resemblance to both Valac and my mother. More so than that, I could see his resemblance to me. It was so close I was shocked I hadn't noticed it before. He had the same raven colored hair, the same golden flecks in his eyes, the same lopsided grin when he was up to something. There was no doubt we were twins. I studied the look on his face trying to determine his motive for being here. I reached out with my mind trying to sense his emotions. An overwhelming sense of anger and betrayal washed over me. In that

    Synestra’s P.O.V.We left the club after a few more drinks. I didn’t know what had come over me. I was never the type of girl to have even considered going through with the things we had just done, and in public no less. Being with Damien made me feel like a different person. The kind of person who had no inhibitions, who wasn’t afraid to give in to her darkest desires. I liked how I felt with him, who I was with him. Most of all I lived how there was no judgement from him. My mind instantly floated back to Gabe and I wondered how he would feel about this version of me. I was sure he would hate this me. I had betrayed his trust and the guilt ran over me like ice water on a cold night. I can't believe I hadn’t thought of Gabe sooner. He had not come to mind once while we were in the club. I told myself that maybe if he had I would have ended it before it got that far. The truth was I
