Chapter Six

Preston curled his upper lip as he took a step forward. “Who do you think you’re talking to? Don’t you dare demand anything of me.”

Rudy had no idea what was going on but he wasn’t gonna stand there and let Preston act all righteous. The guy was giving Aiden a condescending look, and that ticked Rudy off.

He threw his pillow at Preston, praying the winged man didn’t kill him. “Back off. You invaded our home, so you don’t get to make any kind of threats.”

Preston appeared shocked as he stared at the pillow on the floor. Then he turned a murderous glare in Rudy’s direction. “You dare assault me?”

Aiden stormed forward and shoved his hands against Preston’s chest. “Get out or I’ll make a meal of you,” he snarled.

That was…the grossest threat Rudy had ever heard. He hoped Aiden didn’t really eat people. Just the thought made him want to dry heave.

“Be warned,” Preston said in a low and threatening voice. “Harbor Gavril and you two will wish you’d been a stain on the bed sheets.”

Before Rudy could hurl his own insult, Preston was gone.

“What the hell?” Rudy looked around, feeling himself shake. He couldn’t believe he’d just stood up to a celestial being. Preston could’ve killed Rudy with a snap of his fingers.

He was lucky he was still alive and standing there. He turned his anger on Aiden. “Don’t you ever go toe-to-toe with an angel again.”

“We don’t know he was an angel,” Aiden argued, but Rudy saw how shaken the guy was. They were both lucky to be alive.

“Why did Gavril show up here earlier?” Rudy asked. “Why did he come here? That drunken asshole just put us in the middle of whatever is going on.”

“I need to talk to Reese.” Aiden dressed, so Rudy did, too. He wasn’t gonna be left behind, though he doubted Reese had any answers.

Aiden stopped in the living room and curled an arm around Rudy’s back. He gazed up into Aiden’s pale green eyes, still shocked, terrified, and elated about the whole mating thing.

Rudy wasn’t sure exactly what that meant or what it entailed. He just knew he liked the way Aiden stared at him. As if Rudy truly mattered.

“How you holding up?”

It was hard to focus when Aiden’s strong hand was pressed against him. Rudy also appreciated Aiden’s concern. Aside from Reese giving Rudy a second chance, no one in a long time had cared about his well-being. Over the past three years, people had sneered at him for his dirty clothes, had refused him work, or they had treated Rudy as though he were invisible.

He’d learned hard life lessons that a lot of people were assholes when it came to homelessness. Insults had been thrown at him. People had told him to get a job or go take a shower. None of them knew of Rudy’s background or why he was on the streets in the first place. They hadn’t care to find out, either.

Just Reese and Aiden. Rudy would never be able to repay what they’d done for him.
