Chapter Thirteen

Darkness still reigned when they touched down on the small road just north of Vegas. A thousand glittering stars filled the sky, and the desert seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see.

“The wolves have a base just around the bend.” Ramiel pointed. “They pose as a motorcycle gang, even call themselves the Pack. Bold bastards.”

Mora could hear the faint growl of motorcycle engines in the distance.

“Their leader is an alpha named Bruce. In my vision,” Ramiel continued quietly, “I saw Bruce leading the others. Wolves are territorial beasts, and the Pack owns this area. No other wolves would hunt here without the Pack’s permission.”

“Is that why they attack the humans…” Mora blurted. “Because they’re territorial?”

Ramiel’s head turned toward her, an oddly snake-like move. “They attack because they’re monsters. Because they’re evil. And it’s going to be a horrible, savage attack. The wolves will ravage their prey. The beasts will rip out the humans’ throats. Slash open their bodies. In my vision, the blood is everywhere. Those who try to flee will be hunted down in the desert. I saw the wolves dragging the bodies for miles…”

She shivered. The air was so still around her, and Ramiel’s voice had just been too creepy as he talked. And the things he said… Mora swallowed. “Why would Luke allow this? I thought…I thought there was a law, of sorts, in place. That he punished any paranormals who tried to step out of line—”

Ramiel laughed. “You see, Leo? She’s still pretending she doesn’t know what Luke is really like. When she’s been on his side all along.”

Her shoulders stiffened. “Angel, you’re pissing me off.” Then she marched toward him, her tennis shoes kicking up dust along the road. “You don’t know me, and I don’t know you.”

“Oh, I know you…”

Two more angels appeared, seeming to fall right from the sky. One was a woman. The moonlight fell on her warm, dark brown skin. The other was a male. Tall, imposing, with skin a gold to match his hair. Their wings disappeared in a blink, and normal, human clothing covered their bodies.

“I know plenty about you,” Ramiel continued in that creepy voice of his. “You’re the one who obsessed Leo—”

“Stop,” Leo barked. “We’re not doing this shit again now.”

Her chin couldn’t notch higher into the air. Ramiel was looking at her as if she were a piece of trash that had stumbled into his path. The other two angels didn’t have any expression on their faces.

“You think you know me so well,” Mora said. She ignored Leo’s order. After all, he didn’t control her, and she was pretty sure the stop had been directed at Ramiel. “Isn’t it only fair that I get to know you?”

Then before Ramiel could respond, Mora lunged forward. She put her hand on the angel’s chest. Touch. It had always been something she feared, but she wanted to see this angel’s future.

She wanted to see—

Leo…slashing Ramiel with claws. Cutting the wings from Ramiel’s body. Ramiel screaming, begging for mercy—

“Mora!” Leo roared.
