Chapter 4

I finished dressing, secured my duty belt, and knelt at the back of my closet so I could unlock my gun safe and trade out my on-duty Glock for my off-duty one.

“If we’re going to be partners, we should at least get to know each other.”

“We’ve been partners for months. You’ve never wanted to share like this before.” I shoved the magazine from my on-duty weapon into my off-duty one, holstered it, and turned around.

Marcus leaned against the doorframe with his arms crossed. The heat of his attraction wasn’t strong, and there was something in his eyes I couldn’t recognize. What the hell did that mean?

“I was afraid we wouldn’t be a good match before.”

“And now?” My pulse stuttered. Did he think we were a good match? As partners or something more? His attraction right now suggested just work partners, but the memory of the heat from before at the station made me flush.

“I think you’re becoming a decent cop,” he said.

“Decent. Gee, thanks.” But that was high praise, coming from him.

“I mean it. You should sign up for the advanced combat training with me.”

Fear flash-froze my desire. No way in hell. I wasn’t going to be surrounded by cops being reminded about what a super was and how to recognize one.

I pushed past him and headed to my boots by the front door. “I’m a rookie. They won’t take me.”

“You mean you’re too afraid of supers to even try.”

I was too afraid of being discovered. “I like walking the beat.”

“You’ll still walk the beat.” He glared down at me as I crouched and tied my boots.

“But I’ll also get put on special units.” Units that might have to interact with JP agents, the very people I’d spent my whole life running from. Just the idea of being close to a JP agent, let alone an angel, made my pulse race.

“Not all supers are monsters.” He crossed his arms as if daring me to argue with him. “The only true monsters are nephilim and the JP has captured all of them.”

And by captured he meant killed. Unless the Joined Parliament had a secret prison filled with nephilim, there wasn’t a single one in prison. They’d either died fighting or committed suicide before their magic could be contained. No way in hell was I going to become the only nephilim in captivity. Especially since I’d had nothing to do with the war. I was — for all intents and purposes — a powerless, naturally born nephilim. Impossible and defenseless.

I straightened and opened my front door so Marcus could leave and I could lock up. “We should search for this girl.”

“You’re going to end up dealing with supers whether you want to or not.” He strode into the hall. “Why not be fully prepared?”

“You honestly think anything they could teach us would give us a fighting chance against a super?” I locked my front door and we took the stairs up to the first floor.

“Of course. The program was designed by the military, based on their experience fighting nephilim.
