Kael didn't give me the chance to argue with him before he slipped one arm beneath my knees and the other around my back, lifting me from the kitchen counter as though I weighed nothing.“Kael, you don't have to carry me all the way to my room. I can walk.”“I know you can,” he said, already walking toward the door. “But you've just stepped on broken glass, Lyra, and I'm not going to let you walk around on that foot when I can carry you instead.”I lowered my eyes, letting my fingers rest lightly against his shoulder as he carried me through the hallway.“I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cause all this trouble.”“You haven't caused any trouble,” he assured me, his voice softening. “You got dizzy and hurt yourself. That's all. The important thing is that you're safe now, and I'm going to make sure you stay that way.”Of course you are. Of-fucking-course you will, Kael.I kept my expression subdued, resting my head against him as though his words had comforted me. If this was what Kael neede

I wanted to ask him if he had completely lost his fucking mind.Instead, I forced myself to swallow the anger rising in my throat.“You built all of this?”“Yes.” His expression softened. “I wanted to create something that would preserve their memory.”I looked back at the statues.“They deserved to be remembered,” he continued. “Your father and mother were incredibly respected Alphas. Adrian and Elara weren't just important to Silverclaw. They were important throughout the Northern Lands. I wanted people to remember the kind of leaders they were.”I couldn't believe what I was hearing.“You didn't have to do this.”“I know...But I wanted to.”I turned toward him.“You wanted to? You wanted to?? Why the fuck would you do this!?”Kael's brows pulled together.“Lyra—”“Why would you build this? Why would you put their faces here? Why would you put their names everywhere and then bring me here to look at it?”My voice had risen enough that a few people nearby turned to look.I didn't car

The knock on the door came before I could demand another answer from Luca.He glanced at me. "Remember what I told you. You're my wife, so act like it.""I don't even know what that means!""Smile, Elena.""Are you insane?"The door opened before he could answer, and a woman in a black dress stepped inside. She looked tense as she approached Luca."Miss Vanessa Moretti is here. She's demanding to see you."Luca's expression hardened."Of course she is."He turned to me and held out his hand.I stared at it. "What do you expect me to do?""Take my hand and come downstairs.""Why?""Because if you stay here, she'll come looking for you herself, and I doubt you'll enjoy that."I looked at him, wondering what kind of woman could make him sound so irritated before she'd even entered the room.With a frustrated sigh, I placed my hand in his, and he led me downstairs.Two men stood near the entrance, but the woman waiting in the living room immediately caught my attention.She was beautiful,

I jolted awake, my heart pounding as I stared around my bedroom.For a moment, I couldn't remember how I'd gotten into bed. The last thing I remembered was the Ouija board, the candles going out, and a demon with glowing red eyes standing in my living room.But it was morning now. Sunlight streamed through my window, and everything looked exactly as it should.No thunder. No darkness. No terrifying creature from hell.I rubbed my temples, feeling a headache coming on.“What a fucking weird dream,” I muttered.“A dream?”The dark voice came from right behind me.“Oh God, fucking hell! Fuck! Jesus!”I nearly fell off the bed.Azaziel materialized in front of me, looking entirely too pleased with himself.“Language, young lady. You curse like a sailor, Avenora.”I pressed a hand over my face, trying to calm my racing heart. “You're here.”“An astute observation.”“So it wasn't a dream.”“I'm a little offended that you'd mistake our meeting for one.” He tilted his head, his white hair cat
