Chapter 12

Dawn’s wards glimmered in the sunlight, winking and taunting us with their impregnable nature.

“Think of all the power funneled into keeping that functioning,” Abbadon said over the flap of his wings.

Bane dipped toward the ground. “They have power in abundance, and that’s why we’re here. We need it on our side.”

I held on tight as we dove toward the earth, trusting in his arms around me to keep me safe. Last time we’d made this journey, it had been Lucifer holding me, his cultured voice in my ear and his athletic body pressed to mine. Lucifer was still here, of course, in the curve of Bane’s jaw and the corded muscle in his arms, but damn it was good to have Bane’s rough voice back. It was damned good to hear him curse and not give a fuck.

We’d barely touched the ground when guards came pouring out of the wards led by the archangel Michael himself. Michael shook his head in reproach at us as he approached. He waved back the other winged. They did as he bid, lowering their weapons and retreating into the safety of the glittering wards.

Michael came to a halt a few meters away from us. He crossed his arms and stared. His gaze settled on Bane and his brows flicked up. “I was wondering when you’d resurface, Bane.”

“What can I say?” Bane replied. “I’m not one for lying low.”

Michael grinned. “No, you aren’t. Not even if it means handing the reins to the Black Wing commander.”

The guys both chuckled.

Michael’s gaze flicked to me. “I suppose having an anchor helped.”

Bane’s arm slipped around my waist, and I leaned into his side. “Yeah, it did.”

Abbadon cleared his throat. “Um, maybe we should get down to business.”

Michael shook his head. “As much as it’s good to see you, Bane, you can’t be here. You need to leave.” His gaze focused on me. “And you need to take her with you.” He shot a quick glance over his shoulder. “Rumors have been circulating about a neph with extraordinary abilities, and The Powers are eager to find out more.”

“Honestly, I don’t give a fuck about The Powers’ curiosity,” Bane said. “We’re here to tell you that Asher, the shade commander, has Adamah.” He canted his head. “You know, the supposed neph you handed over to us several decades ago for safekeeping. The neph you told us was a dangerous murderer who needed to be kept asleep forever.”

For a moment Michael’s expression was a blank, and then all color drained from his face. “You know ... You know what he is?”

Bane shrugged. “Yeah, I do now. Now that I have my old memories back, but honestly, I probably wouldn’t have thought anything about it if the fucking shades hadn’t broken into my mansion and taken him from under my damned nose.” He released me and took a step closer to Michael. “They’re going to use him to kill all the winged, so you need to make The Powers listen.”

“How? How did this happen? No one knew .
