Sean shook his head. "I'm not done yet." He took a deep breath, seemingly considering what he would say to me before opening his mouth. "The women I sleep with aren't just chosen. I look at them based on the maturity and poise that hides their wildness in bed. You know that many women are interested in me, right?"

Had proven to the kingdom and to God that his loyalty to righteousness superseded his loyalty to blood. It had killed him. Every day since, it had killed him again and again, in small increments, until he wasn’t sure what was left inside his chest besides the specific machinery of survival. And now his brother’s son a boy Marcus had held as an infant, had taught to ride, had believed capable of greatness was committing the same sin. The same corruption. The same betrayal of everything Marcus had sacrificed to prevent. The candles flickered.

Erebus sat himself comfortably in the soft sofa, and outed his words lazily. "No." Uranus squinted her eyes dangerously, "it only takes the magic from a witch; the shift from a werewolf; the eternal life from a vampire--" "In short," Erebus took over her sentence, "the soul, from a sinner." "Yeah, they are all sinners," Uranus said with her hand shaking, "Except me! I am NOT a sinner." "Yes, you are."

Maddison slowly retraced her steps and went to their table, "Yes, Sister Georgina." Georgina eyed her, "What was that act in the place of God?" Maddison looked down, playing with her fingers, "I'm sorry Sister Georgina but I don't know what you're talking about." "Lying is a sin and you've committed two sins in a day, only Lord knows how much you've sinned, I don't want to report you." "Please do not report me, Sister Georgina, I'll go and confess my sins right away, and beg God for forgiveness," Maddison begged.

“Yes, ma’am.” “Thank you for saving the young master.” She looked at the door briefly before putting her attention back on me. “I know you have your prejudice when it comes to him. Especially with the current situation between you two. And I know he’s not a conventionally good man—I won’t stand here and make excuses for him. But, he’s not an entirely bad person. He just had a really bad childhood that shaped him into the man he is today.” “I come from a mafia family too. Yet, you don’t see me going around murdering people’s families.”

But before I could linger on that thought, the door creaked open. “That bitch is too calculating,” Simon’s voice spat, the sound vibrating through the thin gap of the bookshelf. He sounded like he was pacing again. “She didn’t just find a loophole, she found a way to make me look like a goddamn amateur in front of the council.” “Simon, please, you’re going to give yourself a headache,” Mina’s voice followed, smooth and cloying as honey. I could imagine her trailing after him, her eyes wide with that fake sympathy she wore like armor. “That woman, Alpha Mercedes, has always been hell-bent on going against you.

"I know you're just saying all these just so I would do your ritual or whatever but, I don't think you even know what you're saying! Me, Ruby Duraine, a powerful person, to defeat the devil? If I didn't know better, I would I have basically been his pawn all my life. I have had the hardest life and had to do some pretty obscure things to survive. So why would your most high choose me to defeat his enemy? Why don't you do it?" "Ruby God did not send me!" He said this with his head lowered in defeat. His conscience suddenly hit him hard. He had defiled the law of God and eventhough it was for a good cause, it was still considered a sin. "He didn't? But you said I was his chosen to..."
