I wake and find Zara in the living room. It’s already past lunchtime again. Funny how quickly I adjusted to these nocturnal hours after spending a lifetime forcing myself out of bed at six in the morning.

— I heard about the kiss — she starts, a slice of pizza in hand and that mischievous-child look on her face. — Eryon told me.

She sets the pizza box on her lap and pats the seat beside her, inviting me to sit.

— If you’re ready to hear who’s ranked where on my list, I’ll tell you Cael takes the trophy for best kisser.

I sit and drop my head back on the cushion.

No, I wasn’t ready for that.

— I shouldn’t have had that whiskey — is all I manage to say. My stomach twists, and the smell of pepperoni is seconds away from making me hug the toilet.

— Maybe you should ask Sami for help — she teases — you know, to fix the dehydration alcohol causes.

I don’t want to talk about Samiel. I walk to the kitchen and drink a full glass of water.

— Does Cael not stay here during the day? I never see

  • Seduced by The Two Shadowed Nephilim   34 - CAELITH - THE PEACE IS ABOUT TO END

    The murmur of the bar conversations buzzes through the Exilium office’s seal like an insistent mosquito.Eliahz knocks twice and pushes the door just enough to poke his blond head inside.— He’s here.I already know who it is — the illustrious visitor who sent a messenger earlier asking for a meeting.— Let him in.A thin, bony face slides through the doorway like a sacred skull. He looks like a man in his fifties with greyed hair, but he must be three times that. The “blessed” elixir keeps them going so long.He’s dressed all in black, as they always are, but a wine-colored sash tied at his waist replaces a belt and marks authority — above those with white collars.I motion to the chair across from me and he comes in.— Let’s save time, son of Lucifer — he says my father’s name like it’s an insult, but his voice is calm. — We want the girl.I smile, but he doesn’t even blink.— Don’t mistake the Order´s tolerance for weakness — Volkov continues, each syllable another thin attempt at

  • Seduced by The Two Shadowed Nephilim   33 - LEXI - DREAM

    It’s well past midnight when I head down to the Nox.Outside, a fine, stubborn rain has kept most people away, and the place isn’t nearly as packed as usual, so I know Eryon doesn’t need my help at the bar.Cael and Samiel are upstairs in the office, and something between them has kept the air heavy for days — ever since the attack.I move through the room, where barely half the usual crowd is dancing, searching for Zara just so I’ll have someone to talk to.Then, near the women’s restroom, I spot her silhouette — dark curls tonight, styled into loose waves, and a white lycra dress that somehow manages to look too small even on her.I’m about to wave when the person beside her freezes me in place.Draven?The last man who should ever be inside the Nox.The last one who could risk stepping into nephilim territory and walk out alive — especially after what happened the last time he did, when he ended up half-dead in the alley behind the club.Hasn’t anyone told that guy suicide’s a sin?

  • Seduced by The Two Shadowed Nephilim   32 - SAMIEL - JUST A MESSAGE

    It’s a low-class building downtown, packed with one-bedroom apartments. Smart move. Makes any kind of clean assassination harder. No one wants the headache of blowing up or breaking into a crowded building just to kill a single priest. Or ex-priest.Draven gives me a half-smile when he opens the door. Not happiness. Obviously. Pure irony.— Didn’t expect your visit after I left the Order. — He steps aside, letting me in.— After you were kicked out, you mean. — I correct him, flat.— Semantics.He walks to a tiny bar cabinet, pours two glasses of whiskey, and hands me one.The apartment looks just like the convents — minimalist to the point of misery: a couch with sagging cushions, a table for two, a cheap coffee table. No TV. I’d bet the bedroom only has a narrow bed and a closet.The Order is rich. Sentinels aren’t.While we Nephilim and fallen angels live off excess and sin, to him comfort is sin.His only vices are whiskey and profanity — but Sentinels aren’t regular priests. They

  • Seduced by The Two Shadowed Nephilim   31 - LEXI - "I DESTROY ANUTHING THAT THREATENS ME"

    It’s just another day at work for this accountant.Except now, my pastel-colored suits have been replaced by dresses that border on indecent, and my office is an aluminum counter lined with limes, strawberries, and vodka. Lots of vodka.— For all the clipped wings, Alexia, one day you’re going to make someone commit a crime in this club. — Eryon’s smirk at my dress is almost a sin.— You love it — I tease, stepping behind the bar.— Tiny dresses or crimes?His grin widens, and I feel my body melt a little under that look. Damn Nephilim and their absurd, inhuman beauty.Zara shows up next, settling into her usual stool in front of me. With every drink I hand to a customer, she and I take a sip of another.— What do I have to do to get your number? — a man shouts over the thundering beat. Once upon a time, I might’ve fallen for him. But now, human beauty feels dull next to Eryon, Caelith… even the insufferable Samiel.Eryon steps in front of me, facing the man with a feral expression.—

  • Seduced by The Two Shadowed Nephilim   30 - LEXI - WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED IN THAT TOUCH

    It’s past two in the morning when I steal a bottle of wine from Cael’s cellar — which, honestly, already feels more like mine than his — and slip through the little door on the third floor that leads to the external fire escape.I’m going to check out the terrace, just like Zara told me to.With every step up the iron staircase, the warm night breeze lifts the hem of my dress, brushing against the bare skin of my legs. Even though it’s not a tall building, the elevated street opens up a whole horizon just for me.Thousands of lights flicker in the neighboring districts like urban fireflies. She was right — it’s beautiful.I lean on the railing and take a swig straight from the bottle.— What is it with… — a voice cuts through the silence, and my heart almost leaps out of my chest. I nearly drop the bottle. — …the women in this clan and drinking without glasses?I turn toward the sound and find… Samiel.— Jesus, Samiel, do you ever go home? — I ask on reflex.And when the scare fades,

  • Seduced by The Two Shadowed Nephilim   29 - LEXI - "THINKING ABOUT ME SWEATY, VICARIUS?"

    The mat is cold under my bare feet. The whole place smells like rubber and sweat, and it’s way darker than any training room should be. Samiel stands in front of me wearing provocation, black sweatpants and a gray fitted tee.— You must’ve been beaten up a lot as a kid — he says with that teasing smile — I’ve never seen anyone this uncoordinated.I was beaten up, but that idiot doesn’t need to know he’s right.I clench my fists and move forward. Samiel dodges easily, catches my arm, and spins me around until my back hits his chest. Before I even understand what happened, I’m trapped against him, no room left to breathe.— First lesson: never attack without thinking. — His whisper brushes my ear, his mouth too close to be innocent.By instinct, I stomp on his foot and slam my elbow backward, hitting his stomach — which already feels completely healed. He lets out a short laugh and steps back half a pace.— A little more force and I would’ve taken you down — I say, proud of myself.His
