Felix held me tightly in his wings and arms as I screamed my father’s name. Eziel came and knelt down in front of us where we sat on the floor. He cupped my face in his hands. “Roz, Roz. Have faith that he will be fine.”

Conall frowned at Eziel. “She just watched Lucifer capture her father in flames. She can be upset.”

Felix soothed my hair back from my face as I started to calm down. “Lucifer is Azrael’s brother though.”

Conall paused for a moment. He leaned to the side so he could look over Eziel’s shoulder and meet my gaze. “So the Devil is your uncle?”

A laugh broke through my dwindling tears. “Technically, yes. But it’s not like he ever showed up for a family reunion or anything.”

“Why did he take your angelic father?”

“He knew it would get Lucifer’s attention. Azrael is one of the Seraphim, he cannot just fall from committing that kind of sin. But if I had killed Meredith, I would have lost my wings,” Eziel replied.

“Do you know why he wanted to?”

“He didn’t tell me his reasons. Azrael has never met Lucifer. He was born long after Lucifer left heaven. I wasn’t sure how he would react.”

“So he may just imprison Father again for killing one of his archdemons and we have no way to save him.”

“That was my objection, yes.”

I sighed, resting my head on Felix’s chest and looking at the still forms of Mac, Alec and Jason. “We need to get them back home and make sure the police have released Hugh. Then we need to get to the Gloaming Court. All of us. In case Devina knows by now.”

“Yes. It would be a good idea.” Conall reached down and took both mine and Felix’s hands and helped us to our feet. Eziel lifted Jason over his shoulder with Felix doing the same to Mac.

“They’re okay, aren’t they?” I asked Felix.

“Yes. They are just in repose. The Devil drained their energy to use it to capture Azrael.”

Conall lifted Alec into his arms. “This Imperium officer, will he be a problem?”

Felix shrugged as he held Mac. “I don’t know him.”

“He is Jason’s maker,” I said.

Felix nodded. “Perhaps that will help us gain his loyalty. I’m not sure yet.”

“He seemed worried about Jason’s safety.”

“That’s a good sign.”

When we got outside, Song and Emma were sitting in the truck with Maeve standing outside waiting on us. She looked shaken, but appeared unharmed. Emma had obviously been crying, but Song was holding her hand. They laid Alec, Jason and Mac in the bed of the truck. Song climbed into the back with them to watch over them while we traveled.

Eziel touched my shoulder. “Your halo,” he said softly, then smiled as I made it disappear with less effort than it had been taking me. “You used it well,” he told me as he hugged me.

“I will take Eziel and Maeve back to Fairy. With Meredith gone, I need to rejoin my Court,” Conall said. I released Eziel and stepped into Conall’s arms, letting him tip my face up and kiss me.
