We sat in the Hummer under the fluorescent beam of the parking lot lights at the Hess gas station.
Keegan offered me a plastic shopping bag filled with ice from the fountain soda machine and a sympathetic smile as I pressed it to my neck. The chill immediately relieved the sting, but nothing could soothe my loathing for Raphael and my self-hatred for allowing that bastard to walk away unscathed.
Though Iâd come terribly close to wounding him with something far more impactful than my fist. The truth.
Not my truthâLuciferâs.
The monster had made Lucifer reenact my fatherâs gruesome murder. If itâd been a few years ago, I wouldnât have been able to reduce my reaction to mere tears. I would have been hysterical and vomiting at best. But Iâd hardened a hell of a lot since my sixteenth birthday. Tiernan had done his worst to me, and I was the one still breathing.
My resilience had been forged in my own personal hell long before the devil shredded a man in front of me.
I didnât know Zoto from Adam, but I wouldnât have been surprised if he had been strictly collateral damage. A fallout from Raphaelâs sick vendetta.
But Raphaelâs plan had backfiredâat least where I was concerned.
The experience was disturbing, and heâd given me new nightmare material, but his true goalâfor me to see Lucifer as a vile butcherâhad been foiled.
All I saw was a man plagued by a vow and duty that didnât deserve him.
I saw a man whoâd promised me with his penetrating stare that heâd protect my soul if I gave him the chance.
My eyes never left Luciferâs emotionless mask as heâd obeyed Raphaelâs commands. Heâd offered me his silent strength, and Iâd devoured it like heâd met me starving in the pits of hell and handed me pomegranate seeds.
But then Raphael touched me.
Heâd fucking touched me. And like an unstable grenade, Iâd detonated.
In my triggered state, Iâd foolishly shown Raphael my trump card. The one Iâd never intended to play unless it was my only remaining option.
With a malevolence so cold that it had crystallized the blood in my veins, Raphael had whispered in my ear that if I dared utter another word, Zotoâs execution would look like childâs play compared to what heâd do to Lucifer.
So, Iâd surrendered. A temporary cease-fire while I regrouped.
âYouâre in charge of surveillance, right?â I asked.
It may or may not have sounded like an accusation.
Keegan nodded. âI am, but Raphael didnât see anything he wasnât supposed toâitâd already been handled. Lucifer made sure of it.â Keeganâs amber eyes burned with a loyalty that was undeniable. âRaphael may be my boss in name, but Lucifer is my brother by choice. I know Liam and Finn feel the same.â
My teeth sank into the inside of my lower lip while I considered my next words. âRaphael confronted me about it. He knew that Lucifer and I . . . that weâd spent time together while he was away.â
Keegan sighed and leaned back in his seat, rubbing his hands on his thighs.
