CHAPTER NINE

MICHAEL AND RAPHAEL landed on Olympus early the next morning.

“I wonder if we’re too late for breakfast?” Raphael quipped. “You know, because we missed out on the family dinner.”

“You’re a dick.”

Laughing, Raphael followed him along the path to Aphrodite’s home. Unlike Artemis, she had her own sizeable home with staff.

Michael had attempted to reach Uriel last night and this morning, but he had ignored him; it wasn’t the first time. His only consolation was that Michael knew if he red-flagged him for an archangel emergency, Uriel would be out of the goddess’s house in mere moments. But he wouldn’t do that. It would be a breach of trust.

That didn’t mean he was beyond going in and dragging the guy out.

Uri, we’re coming in, brother. Final warning. You have sixty seconds.

Ten minutes!

Dude, we’ve been waiting all night.

Ten. Minutes.

Christ.

He turned to Raphael. “Let’s take a seat. He’s...actually, I don’t want to know what he’s doing, but he’s going to be a few more minutes.”

“Where’s Gabriel?”

“Right here.”

As they turned to take in the blond archangel, Michael cringed. Raphael let out a kind of coughing choke sound, which he knew was originally a laugh. Behind Gabriel was Artemis.

“Michael. I knew you’d be back,” she said, sitting next to him.

He stood, irritation pouring off him. He didn’t want to be rude, but neither did he want to give mixed signals. “We’re just here to bring my brothers home.”

“Yes. I’ve missed you.”

Christ.

Raphael had another coughing issue.

“How’s the new queen?” Gabriel asked, sitting down.

“We don’t have a new queen,” Artemis answered, confused.

“Not you. Michael.”

He crossed his arms, stepping away from the goddess. “She is...interesting.”

Gabe and Raphael exchanged glances before Gabriel burst into laughter. “Are you kidding me?”

Michael glared at them. He didn’t know if they were using telepathy, but he wasn’t having this conversation in front of the goddess. “Drop it. Where the fuck is Uriel. Uri, get your ass out here!”

Artemis crossed her arms. “Who is this queen? The queen of what? Is she your queen?”

“She was last night,” Raphael mumbled, laughing.

Uriel and Aphrodite stepped out of the house. He was doing up his pants while she braided her long hair, a picture of domesticity—of sorts. Michael watched as his brother turned and pulled the goddess up to plant a long, deep kiss on her lips.

He raised a single brow and shook his head. A noise beside him had him looking down. Artemis glared at him. “What?”

“Did you sleep with her?”

“Who?”

“This queen.”

Michael looked around at his brothers as if looking for the answers to the universe. Everyone suddenly had fingernail issues and began grooming. He returned his eyes to Artemis. “Yes. I did. I told you—”

As she began hurtling abuse at him, he saw her energy rising. The goddesses were powerful females in their own rights. Not more than him, but the last thing he needed was a confrontation in the streets of Olympus to draw Zeus out at such a precarious time. He grabbed one of her wrists as her arm rose, then the other.
