“But why?”

Alaine placed her glass down. “Because somehow, Ethon had also been bonded to Emma. It was a difficult time for everyone, especially Emma. The bond, pulling her in two directions, and Lucifer used that bond to entrap her.”

“Lucifer can’t leave hell, right?”

“No, the creator banished him. But he still has thousands of Fallen members who do his bidding,” Samuel interjected. “So, we consider every threat with great care. The last we heard, there were hundreds of Fallen gathering. But that was just hearsay, from an unreliable source. We haven’t been able to prove or confirm anything he’s said.”

“Let’s hope it was a lie,” Alex said.

“For sure,” Kade added, tossing a grape into his mouth.

“If you guys ever need me, you know I’m here for you,” Alex offered.

“Thanks, man.” Kade stretched his arm out across the table, offering him a fist. Alex slammed it with so much force I thought their fists would explode. But instead, they laughed it off.

“You’ll get used to it…eventually,” Emma chuckled, narrowing her eyes at Kade and Alex.

Not anytime soon.

“Can I ask a question?” I wasn’t sure if I was ready for the answer, but I knew I had to face the truth.

“Of course, you can,” Alaine replied. “That’s why we’re here. To answer any questions you may have.”

I nodded and gave her a smile. “Alex said you saw my mark?”

Alaine and Samuel exchanged a quick glance. “Yes, we did,” she answered.

“And you know who it belongs to?”

“Yes,” Samuel answered, taking another glance at Alaine. “I knew your father well.”

A knot twisted tightly in my gut, and I noticed the looks on Kade and Emma’s faces. They were just as shocked as I was. Alex automatically grabbed my hand under the table and held on to it. I was thankful for his support. His touch meant so much to me.

I swallowed a lump in my throat. “Do you know where he is?”

Every head trained on Samuel. The crease in his brow and the sadness swimming in his eyes was like a dagger to my heart. “I’m so sorry, Eden. Your father is dead.”

My heart felt like it had fallen out of my chest. The pain was indescribable.

Dead?

I knew death was always a possibility, but I wasn’t prepared for it. Death was final. It meant I would never get the chance to meet my father, or know what he looked like.

The next words were hard to push out. “Was he Fallen?”

“Yes, but he had a heart of gold,” Samuel said, his voice soft. “He was my best friend, and he gave his life to save my daughter and me, along with two other Guardians.”

I heard gasps from Kade and Alex and saw tears trailing down Emma’s surprised face.

“He was one of the bravest angels I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting,” Samuel continued. “He was an exceptional warrior, and a true friend until the end. When I look into your eyes, I can’t help but see him. He would have loved you.”

“What was his name?”

“Danyel.”
