Chapter 25 Valencia’s POV The transformation was complete. I stood in the center of my suite, a vision of monochromatic death and high-fashion armor. The black gown was a masterpiece of structural silk, backless to the waist to reveal the scars Silas had worshipped with his mouth, and slit to the upper thigh to allow for the hidden holster strapped to my skin.

I give her a nod and then hear her whisper chant. "YOU SEE US NOT, FOR WE ARE BUT A SHADOW"

It’s buried in the encrypted line Claire helped me set up years ago, back when I was chasing corporate fraud and she was teaching me what a backdoor really meant.

The trio stopped just a few feet away from the dais and stood shoulder-to-shoulder to face what this day would bring. Emily—as always—was carefully placed between the two men. Lilith sat on her throne with her bat-like wings wrapped forward toward her arms. Her blond curls were long and draped down her back with an occasional stray tendril bouncing around her shoulders in a deliberately careless style. She wore tight black pants that looked like leather and a white shirt with a ruffled front and flowing sleeves, giving her the appearance of a
