Seduced by The Two Shadowed Nephilim
— I’ll let you live, Volkov, — Caelith says — if you tell me how you found out she’s an umbra.
Volkov lifts his chin, defiant.
— You think you’re the only one who buys secrets from the enemy, Caelith?
— All this time I kept wondering why you called her a ‘greater sin’… — he brushes his jaw with his thumb. — What could be more sinful than a Nephilim?
Volkov pales beside me. The younger one falters, loosening his grip just enough for me to drag in a ragged breath.
— The greater sin, — Caelith goes on, voice rising, — would be a double one, wouldn’t it? The child born of a woman who sold her blood and her body, and a man who vowed his life to God!
