Chapter Twenty-Four

Rayna

“What?” I hissed at the sight of Azriel on TV.

Azriel leaned toward the rows of microphones and said, “This is what happens when our demands aren’t met.” His face remained stern, stoic, unlike when he had tortured me. That sick smile was gone now. “We have dozens of men in every major airport around the country. Watching. The skies are ours now.”

I glanced away from the TV, not sure if I could take whatever might come next.

“Kade?” I padded to the bathroom and opened the door.

He was stepping out of the shower, water dripping down his completely naked body. He reached for a towel, but not in the hurried way I would have. He took his time, fully black eyes on mine.

“Get out,” he said, voice low, purposely controlled.

I turned away, pulse pounding. The loose towel rack clanged against the wall as he pulled a towel free. Managing his hunger after the feeding frenzy Lucien made me watch couldn’t have been easy. No doubt Kade was still coping with his demons.

With my wits returning to me slowly, it took me a second to remember why I’d busted in on his shower. “What the hell is going on out there? There are Fallen smashing planes? Showing themselves?”

Kade brushed by me in the doorway, the drops of water on his arm transferring to mine as he passed. He tucked the loose end of his towel in, the thin white terrycloth riding low on his hips. He glanced at the TV, still on, and then at me.

The black faded from his eyes. “Shit.”

“This should have been the first thing you told me when I called you from that payphone.”

“I’ve been trying to keep you safe, which means out of this. It’s part of why I left you with Cam.” He punched the button on the front of the TV, switching it off. “They’re hunting you. These tactics, this is what they’ve been doing to try and flush you out. It started not long after we escaped Hell.”

“How long were you planning on keeping this from me?”

“I was going to tell you when you were better. When you were capable of processing it.”

“I can process this just fine.” I crossed my arms, searching for a way to prove Kade wrong. “What are the angels doing about it?”

He stood, tilting his head ever so slightly, judging me, measuring how I was really taking in the new information.

“Don’t do this to me,” I warned.

Kade sighed. I remembered those sighs. This one was the defeated kind. The one he’d shared once with me, that night up on our roof. During one of our training sessions. When we got close. That happened before I knew him completely, before I trusted him, before I discovered my feelings for Cam could be surpassed.

Kade picked up the remote from the end table and switched the TV back on.

The screen was split into two pictures. On the left the anchorwoman behind the desk straightened her papers. On the right an older man sat in a chair, speaking.
