I begin to undress, unbuttoning my dress shirt and glancing at my reflection in the standing mirror. I look worn—even I notice it—like I’m holding the weight of my world on my shoulders.

And maybe I am. Heaven and Hell certainly depend on us winning this fight. There’s no doubt Lucifer will be coming for the living plane too, if he’s to succeed in his plans.

This is critical.

I may have appeared calm on the outside, but Aria and Maverick’s return, coupled with the sudden danger we were in, rattled me. Even now, I can see the shadows of Lucifer’s Hell creatures stalking the perimeter of the bubble Gabriel put us in, and I wonder if it’ll crumble at any moment. My hope is that Gabriel’s loyalty to the cause and his god is stronger than his hatred of us. It’s all I can do at the moment.

Although I instructed everyone to rest before we face down the hellions and use Azrael’s harp at the gate, I won’t be taking my own advice tonight. With my chaotic thoughts running amok, sleep would be impossible.

We need to feed to gain strength for what’s ahead, but with the light shield, no one can get in or out of the mansion. It’s not ideal, but we’ll work with what we have. We have no other choice.

Soft footsteps outside my room make me pause. It’s Aria. I can feel her presence through our link before anything else. She’s like an extension of me now. Parts of one entity. We are all.

“Cain?” Her timid voice has me looking up. I can see her reflection in the mirror hovering in my partly open door. “C-Can I talk to you for a minute?”

Her look of worry doesn’t go unnoticed by me, so I wave her inside. She steps in.

“Close the door,” I whisper, and she obeys. But she continues to stay close to it, almost afraid of coming any closer to me.

The hideous memory of her laying in Lucifer’s torture rooms, cut up and bloodied by my own hand, comes to mind, and nausea rolls through me. I quickly cross the room and wrap my arms around her. To my relief, she presses into me, burying her face into my chest, and I relish in the feel of her close to me again.

I would never hurt her. Never.

Damn that skull and what it made me see. There’s no doubt in my mind its dark power made me, Dorian, and Elias live through our deepest fears—mine still haunts me. It may very well haunt me forever.

We stay like that for a while, holding each other, saying nothing. And this time, when Aria tilts her head up to look at me, a smile touches her lips.

“I missed you,” she says.

“I’ve missed you, too.”

“Would you say…you’ve missed me like hell?” Her smile widens at her poor attempt at a joke, and I feel my own mouth lifting at the corners.

“You’re spending too much time with Dorian. His poor sense of humor is starting to rub off on you.
