Chapter Twenty–One

Alexander

F ia was gone.

Alexander’s head was pounding. I love you. Her words and the look on her face as she went with Erebus echoed in his ears and danced like a shadow before his eyes.

Noor had appeared moments after Fia and Erebus had vanished, springing into action to put out Fia’s fires. As soon as Alexander’s senses returned to him, he reached for the air fuelling the remaining flames and tugged at it, extinguishing the blue to nothing but smoke.

Fia hadn’t caused much damage, and he had already ensured the worst of it was under control. They were far from the rest of the camp here, but angels had come from their tents to see what all the commotion was about. Erebus would have taken her back to Ohinyan, Alexander was certain of it. He had to leave, had to return to the gate.

“Alexander?” Noor was beside him. “We’ll get her back,” the witch said softly.

Maab and the others appeared from the forest, along with three angels and a young woman in a hooded dress who held herself like she was royalty. Noor gestured to them. “These are friends of Fia’s, and you’re going to want to hear what they have to say before we make our next move.”

“I’ll speak with the soldiers,” the female angel said, marching away before anyone had the chance to protest. She wore the same uniform as the rest, as did the two males.

Alexander gestured to his tent. “Let’s talk inside.” He didn’t wait for the others to follow; he just needed a moment to gather his thoughts. As he stepped inside, his gaze flickered to the bed where he had sat with Fia in his arms just moments before, the most beautiful thing he had ever laid eyes upon. Then she had unleashed her blue flame upon Erebus, and in Alexander’s eyes that only made her even more incredible.

Noor made the introductions. “This is Rainn and Jax,” she said, waving a hand at the two angels. Rainn seemed to hold authority over the other two and was most protective over the young woman standing beside him. “That was Aura, who just left. And this,” Noor continued, “is their queen, Evina.”

Queen. The young woman nodded but said nothing, instead she looked to Rainn. “Her Majesty cannot use her voice at present. I will answer any questions on her behalf,” the angel said, staring at them all with his mismatched eyes as if daring them to disagree. He hadn’t left Evina’s side, and Alexander wondered if he should have offered her a seat. With the other two angels acting as her chaperones, he was sure if she wanted a seat, they’d have brought her one by now. But Evina didn’t strike Alexander as a demanding queen.

Alexander introduced Maab and Osara, the only two Nords who had followed them into the tent. The queen’s gaze lingered on Osara for a heartbeat longer than necessary, and when she looked away, Evina caught Alexander watching her. “My name is Alexander.
