Chapter twenty-five

The Leader

Not silence.

Screaming.

The loudest of the screaming, I realised, ripped from my own throat as Jude was ripped away from me and staked to the ground. His eyes rolled to the back of his head as a dark stain bloomed across his stomach.

A matching roar came from Veric as he watched his lover collapse, unable to do anything to stop it.

I resisted the violent urge to vomit at the sight of Jude’s body, bent at a wrong angle. Eleri—Farro’s spellmaster—sifted to Jude, her knees slamming to the ground beside him before she placed her hands over his chest. Her fingers sank into the blood, and she immediately began muttering some incantation, the gold script in her wings glowing as she worked her magic.

I turned to where the spear had come from just in time to witness the angel that threw it begin to thrash and claw at his chest. Kido emerged beside us, blue wings churning like an ocean storm and hands raised, all trace of boyish delight gone as he drowned the angel where he was.

But it was the cold laugh that boomed beside the drowning angel that drew my attention away from the violent sight.

Nephamir’s golden form was as terrible as I remembered from Alziros, his sneer just as cruel, his eyes, now marred with a scar on his left side, just as calculating. He laughed like he was drunk on Jude’s blood spilling on the forest floor.

My gaze caught on a strange murky sphere that encased him, rippling in the light as he stretched his arms wide. Somehow, his voice thundered louder than the screams and sounds of death already ringing around us. “Behold, Noldaral’s finest warriors!” He pointed his finger directly at me. “All for you, Pet!”

Swarms of angels descended like projectiles into the crowd, chasing after those who were too small or slow to escape. The sound of steel and smell of blood poured out between the trees seconds later. Fae took to the skies, both to fight and to flee the Fallen army that blocked out the skies. I snapped my gaze back to Nephamir, eyeing that barrier again.

What is that?

“Consider this the consequence for running away,” he called out with a sickening leer. “I’ll call them off as soon as you return to us, Pet.”

I looked down at Jude again—at Eleri whispering spells under her breath to save his life. The colour had already leached from his face, his deep red wings were a wrong shade of purple like a mottled bruise. I turned back to Nephamir and pulled my lip up in a snarl. “Oh, I’m coming for you, alright.”

Veric had his silver hatchets palmed, his magic coiling to attack, when Kit slapped a hand on his chest, stopping him from launching into the skies and joining in on the fight.

I shot a questioning look at Kit, but a second later, I saw why—saw it on every angel in the sky waiting in ambush, and every angel already ravaging on the ground.
