Chapter Eleven

Micah looked death was no longer whispering in his ear.

“You ready for this?” Asa would take the women out of this place regardless, but he wanted Micah fully on board, or this would not go well. Plus, Asa was still trying to stick to the original mission, no matter how much this had gone sideways—namely, convincing Micah to turn on his father. If Asa secured Micah’s lover and child, if he could guarantee them safety, then Micah should be free to do what was right—for everyone.

They stood outside the nursery, a rack of breakfast trays stacked next to the door. Micah’s battle armor was freshly conjured sans the blood from the fight before, and whatever wounds he had sustained were no longer apparent.

“I need time to… explain myself,” Micah said, roughly.

Asa gave him a pinched look. “You’ll have time to say goodbye once we’re in the human world.”

“It’s not just goodbye.” Micah dropped his gaze. Asa could see the tension in his jaw working. “We had a… disagreement… the last time.”

Oh, for fuck’s sake. “Don’t tell me Ren’s going to fight us on leaving.” Asa knew the gorgeous redhead—Molly—was the leader. She could convince the others to go, no matter what lover-spat Micah and Ren were having.

Micah looked up. “No, I’m sure she’ll want to leave. That was the cause of our fight. But I’m also certain she’s still angry with me.”

“She’ll get over it.” Asa grabbed the pushcart of breakfast trays and nodded to the door for Micah to open it. “We’ll feed them first. You can have a moment during breakfast to explain how you were an asshole before but you’re fixing it now.”

“By leaving her.” Micah’s brown eyes flashed, and Asa knew this was a tripwire.

“By saving her. And her baby, Micah. Your baby.” He sighed. “See it from her point of view for one fucking minute, okay?”

“I am trying!”

Well, you suck at it. Asa kept that inside. “I know you don’t want to lose her. I get it, okay? I really do. I’d slay a hundred shadowlings to protect the woman I love. But you can’t slay an angel. Not alone. And you don’t want that battle coming down on Elyon’s Regiment while Ren and the baby are still here. We can keep them safe; you’re outnumbered a thousand-to-one here, not including a very pissed off angel.” He couldn’t believe he had to talk Micah into this again—it seemed obvious to Asa that anywhere was safer for the women than here, but he had the advantage of having lived through this particular nightmare already. Losing Ellie, thinking he could protect her all by himself, entertaining a fool’s fantasy of them having a life together, beyond the immortal realm, just the two of them and the child he would raise as his own… Asa gritted his teeth and spoke through them. “This is the only way, Micah.”

He reluctantly nodded and placed his hand on the door of the nursery, a forlorn look on his face.

A moment of sympathy spiked through Asa.
