CHAPTER 15

The next morning, as Aranes and Abaddon walked down the hospital’s corridor, all the nursing staff’s gazes were on them. She had changed the previous evening’s dress for a charcoal mohair dress and a coat in a lighter shade, which Mrs. Cole had brought for her early in the morning. Strangely, she hadn’t done the same for her spouse, who was still wearing the same suit and was unshaven, yet still magnificent in the opinion of the female nurses.

The hospital was buzzing with comments and gossip. But no matter what their opinion, everyone agreed that there was something strange about that couple. Merely the fact that they had everything one could ever wish for, and this to extremes, made them seem unnatural—like the descendants of a superior race with distinctive qualities that protected their kind from intermarrying, or examples of a new breed that had just emerged on Earth and had only a small number of representatives. Opinions varied, but it crossed no one’s mind that these two unique people could be extraterrestrial entities. The humans never imagined that walking among them were hyperdimensional beings, what they referred to as Angels.

“My rapid recovery has been remarked upon,” Aranes said softly, looking around her.

Abaddon glared at a visitor who wasn’t taking his eyes off his wife and was thinking clearly male thoughts about her. He wanted to punch him in the face, but it would look crazy to hit someone out of the blue, and she didn’t approve of such behavior. So he kept on walking.

“It was to be expected, but don’t worry, I’ve taken care of it with John. He’ll cover it up,” he reassured her, swallowing his irritation at being forced to restrain himself and at the insult to his male ego.

“The two of you were speaking for quite a while,” Aranes remarked. “I’m curious, what did you tell him?”

After everything her body had been put through, she had slept through the rest of the night. And since the moment she had woken up in the morning, they hadn’t been alone at all for her to ask him.

“I had to tell him some things,” Abaddon said casually.

His answer alarmed Aranes.

“You revealed who we are?” she whispered.

He sensed her alarm but carried on walking calmly.

“Not exactly,” he said tersely.

“Abaddon, did you forget that one of the most important Rules forbid it?”

The Dark Angel turned to look at her.

“I thought it more important not to let the man go mad. I know very well what it feels like to search desperately for an answer and question everything, even if you really saw what you’re sure you saw.” He faced forward again. “John has been through a lot because of us. It’s not his fault if he got mixed up in this situation. Besides, I’ve noticed that the Rules have blatant exceptions.”

Aranes couldn’t disagree with that and even though she felt he could have handled the matter differently, she wasn’t about to discuss it in a hospital corridor.

“Never mind, it’s done now.
