Chapter Twelve

Belle was dumbfounded as she found herself staring at another angel from the armada. One of the few she was truly friendly with. Jaelyn. Except Jae was posing as a human named Jennifer and apparently dating Gwen’s brother.

“Jaelyn?”

Beside her, she could feel the controlled anger radiating from Kai. She was honestly impressed that he was keeping quiet. But then again, he does quiet well.

Jaelyn swallowed visibly, her eyes wide and her fear palpable. “Belle…” Her eyes flicked back to Kai before immediately falling to the floor. “Kai.”

“Jen? What’s going on?” Ben interrupted, looking between them all. He gave her shoulder a squeeze. “How do you know them?”

Gwen moved to stand sideways between the two pairs, asking, “And why are they calling you a different name?” It didn’t escape Belle’s notice that Gwen’s tone was far more accusatory than Ben’s. But that was to be expected.

“It’s nothing,” Jae finally said, turning a smile to Ben. “I know them from a while back. Maybe they’ve confused me with someone else.”

Belle swore she could feel the temperature of the air kick up on Kai’s slow exhale. She knew exactly how he was feeling, but she didn’t have his patience. “You can lie to them,” she said shortly, “but you can’t lie to us. What the hell is this?”

“Hey,” Ben said, turning a hard frown on Belle and Kai. “I don’t appreciate you talking to my girlfriend like that. You’ve obviously confused your associations, that’s all. I imagine you meet a lot of people.”

“Don’t insult me,” Kai snapped. Belle wasn’t honestly sure if he was addressing Ben or Jaelyn. Or both. But his next words were clearly for Jae when he added, “Jaelyn. Let’s talk.” It wasn’t a request, and he didn’t wait for her to respond before turning and striding toward the open door to Ben’s computer room.

Belle gestured for Jaelyn to follow first, but she had no intention of being left out of this conversation.

Ben made as if to start forward and Jae put a hand on his chest. “I’ll sort it out, babe, don’t worry. Wait here for me?”

The hesitation was obvious in his eyes, but he finally smiled and nodded. “If you’re sure.”

Without meeting Belle’s gaze, Jae turned and followed in Kai’s wake. Belle looked past her, to Gwen, and said, “Knock if you need us. This could take a minute.” Or several. But she didn’t want to upset Ben unnecessarily. He was going to have a bad enough day as it was.

Belle fell in behind Jae and pulled the door shut once the three of them were in the office space. It was nearly the size of the guest room she and Kai had shared upstairs, but taken up with a computer desk, flat screen monitor mounted on the far wall, and two-seater recliner set connected by a storage cubicle in the middle. Sports flags, a signed photograph, and a diploma adorned the wall space above the chair set.

“Talk.” Kai’s command was firm as he leaned not-so-casually against the wall beside the television.
