Chapter 9

W HAT THE HECK do you mean you’re moving in with me?” Allie shrieked. It was crazy. No way was she going to let Zad and Metatron move into her apartment. She’d only had the place to herself — well, with her bobcat roommate — for one night.

The last thing she wanted was Heavenly Host roomies.

“Abba’s orders,” Zad shrugged. Nick moved toward her and for once, Allie was glad for his interference.

“Why?” Nick asked.

It was Metatron who answered. “The bounty is still upon her head. Abba is concerned with her safety here in the Inner Circle.”

Allie’s eyes bugged at that. “Well then, why doesn’t He just heal us and let us go back to The City?”

She was starting to wonder if the Remnants had even caught the disease. None of them had shown any symptoms or signs of getting sick. And then there was the question of why Abba would have sent some workers from The City to the Remnant mansion if the team was contagious. She wondered if this disease thing was yet another way that Abba was ferreting out the truth, like when He’d made her think the angel rebellion was far bigger than it was.

Zad gave her an indecipherable look. “No idea. But you know what He says goes. He has His reasons.”

Abba’s earlier words came back to her then: I have My reasons and you have to trust Me. Allie grimaced, but she nodded.

“Well, guess that explains why I have three bedrooms,” she joked as she glanced at Nick, who did not look happy. Not at all. Allie sighed. If she thought Nick had been jealous of her relationship with the angels before, what was it going to be like now? He was probably going to be insane over it. Great.

Zad hooked his arm around his neck and used his other hand to rub his knuckles on her head, much like an older brother would do. “We’ll have fun, kid. It’ll be like a sleepover from the Old Age. We can make popcorn, watch old movies…”

Allie knew what Zad was doing; he was trying to fuel Nick’s jealous fire. It was working.

“Oooh, can I paint your nails?” she squealed with fake delight as she elbowed him. “I’m thinking hot pink is sooo your color.”

Nick was practically vibrating from anger. Allie glanced at him and felt a moment of pity for him, even though she’d been angry with him just a little while ago for his possessiveness.

She needed to do something about the situation. The only way she could think of to calm him down was to let him know he had nothing to fear. Abba’s earlier words filled her head.

Nick is my mate…

Allie sighed. Heavily.

She looked at Nick. “Will you take a walk with me in the garden?” She almost laughed when he nodded and then smirked at the angels, as if to say, “See? She wants me.”
