The Angel

After I’d tried a hundred times to jump through the window, only to be dragged back into the dark tower, I charged out of Jasmine’s chamber.

She didn’t stop me but followed me down the stairs, giggling, as if we were playing hide-and-seek.

I strode into a hall that looked like a ballroom, with a white marble floor, sculpted columns, and a high, arching ceiling dangling with chandeliers. It had all the grandeur of a royal palace. There was even a grand piano in the center.

Along the full windows, there were a few stylish tables dressed with chic tablecloths and gold utensils.

Who would dine here?!

The vampiress’ chamber must be warded, but I should have an easy exit through the ballroom.

The vampire prince Desdemona leaned on the railing above us, watching, neither interested nor bored. In his hand, which looked like it played the piano a lot, swayed a glass of wine—no, a glass of blood.

I aimed for the wall near a full window. The window in the vampiress’ chamber had been greatly warded, but this wall could be the weakest spot. I broke into a run, my wings spreading and propelling to give me more power. I rammed my shoulder into the wall.

The wall collapsed, tearing a hole large enough for me to get through.

I laughed. No bricks, stones, or steels could stop an Archangel.

I was going back to my mate.

I leaped through the gap, my wings extending to slow my descent.

Only I didn’t land on the ground outside the black tower, as I’d planned to.

Instead, I crashed onto the ground in the ballroom, and the wall that I’d fractured sealed again. A few vampires snickered. If I weren’t so dizzy and dazed, I’d tear out their hearts for their insolence.

Jasmine laughed as if she’d never had so much fun in her life.

“Honey,” she said. “I applaud your endless efforts, but at some point, you gotta give up. You’ll only hurt yourself, silly.”

I pulled my ass up. “Answer some questions, vampir—” Pain hit me. “—princess.” The pain dissipated.

Her compulsion remained in me.

“Princess,” I grated, “I need answers.”

“Why don’t you take time to discover the mystery for yourself? It’ll be more fun that way. You’re not going away, anyway.”

I hissed, “I don’t have much time.”

“Oh, you do. We have all the time in the world.” She laughed again at my outraged look. “Fine, I’ll tell you this: once the Wickedest Witch gets into the tower, she’ll never leave, either.”

“Jasmine!” Desdemona warned from the stairs, no longer leaning on the railing; he’d drained the glass of blood.

“Don’t worry, brother,” Jasmine said. “The Angel won’t fly away with our secrets. And soon you’ll get your long-awaited date with the nasty witch.”

Horror struck me.

That was why the Dark Prince had insisted on one date with her in the tower. He’d been planning to lure her into his nest. And once she came, she’d be stuck, like me.

No! I would never let my mate come in here.

She needed to find a way to get past Akem and leave through the portal without me.
