The goddess knew if Abaddon was born into the human realm in isolation, as he’d been born into the universe, he’d be doubly vile. So she created a mate for him. Soft where he was hard. Fiery where he was ice. Kind to his mean-heartedness. Sweet to his sour. A soul mate who would change him as they met in life after life. Who would melt his frozen heart and teach him love.

The goddess grinned. This would be good.

Chapter 19

Kat led the way to her bedroom, crossed the room, and knelt on the floor next to her mate. The book would stay hidden in her dresser until after Trina had removed the felo-de-se curse.

Trina sidled into the room, angling her gaze at the floor. “Why’s he on the floor?”

“It’s where he fell.” She and Lilith may have promised to give Julius a chance, but they were hesitant allies at best. “He’s asleep and his eyes are covered. You have nothing to worry about.”

The tension in Trina’s shoulders eased. “Sorry, but he’s mesmerized me before and it wasn’t a pleasant experience.”

“Not him.” Her tone was firm. “The Watcher.”

“Oh?” Trina waved to his face. “Like you’re not worried? You have him blindfolded.”

“It’s a bandage, not a blindfold.”

One dark brow rose.

Shoot. “I guess I didn’t quite tell you everything.” She sighed. “Before I got here that first day . . . the curse made him cut his eyes out.”

Trina recoiled. “What?” She shook her head. “Memory curses don’t—”

“The memory curse is wearing off on its own. I’m more worried about the felo-de-se curse.”

“Goddess bless you both.” Trina dragged her fingers through her hair. “Is it time-based? Trigger-word-based?”

“It takes effect at sunrise every day. The rest of the time, he’s fine.” Sort of. Except for the cutting.

“Why didn’t you come sooner? You’ve been doing all this on your own?” She crossed the room. “Dealing with two curses plus whatever trauma he has?”

Sympathy from Lilith had threatened her composure earlier, but getting it from Trina, who was always tough as nails, made her crumble.

“Oh, damn it, don’t cry.” Trina plopped down next to her on the floor and patted her shoulder. “I suck at the whole comforting thing. Are you sure he’s worth it?”

Kat sniffed and used her sleeves to wipe her eyes. “I weighed the pros and cons again today and the bottom line is whether or not he still had the capacity to make a positive difference in the world.”

“And you think he can?” Trina shot Julius a side-long glance.

“I know he can. He’s made a difference for me.” She wiped her eyes again and dragged in a deep breath. “Okay. I’m all right.”

“Does he still have eyes?”

Oh, he had eyes all right. “Um . . . well, yes.” Trina reached over and Kat smacked her hand away. “You don’t want to—”

Trina frowned. She magicked the bandage off his head. “It’s not that bad. The way you reacted I half expected him to be deformed.” She reached for him again.

“Don’t touch—”

“Back off.” Trina pointed at her and waited.
