Chapter Four

Ukko left the king’s mountain none the wiser. Cyrus had pumped him for every tiny molecule of information, having no explanation in the end. Neither of them could think how she came to be, but they were both equally sure she had to be some new form of female Spentas. That or she was created for them. There weren’t a lot of things the king didn’t know and this was apparently one of them, which scared the shit out of Ukko.

Instead of heading back to his home, he went to San Diego to find the man Nimah had been healing last night. Maybe there were answers to be had there. According to Nimah, she didn’t know what had drawn her to the man, though she wasn’t certain he’d been a man at all.

“So glad you could tear yourself away from your woman.”

Not many could ever sneak up on him, so Ukko wasn’t at all surprised to see a cherub perched on a brick wall at the end of the alley he had lain in less than twenty-four hours ago.

“Don’t think I won’t pluck your wings, cherub.” No wonder Ukko hadn’t been able to sense the “man” Nimah had healed. He was one of the lowest caste of angels. Cherubs didn’t have much power and could be easily bespelled. Anyone could have fogged his mind for any number of reasons. Probably seducing a woman he had no business seducing, getting his little angelic self cursed in the process. They were perpetually horny little troublemakers. “Why are you here? And what do you know of my woman?”

Claiming her out loud, even in front of a pesky cherub, gave Ukko immense joy. His chest swelled a little, as if he had won his first battle.

“Seth sent me to find her and bring her to him before she found you.” The cherub grinned, a lock of golden hair falling over sky blue eyes. “I don’t remember a thing after the lovely redhead with the glowing bronze skin.”

Yep, messed with the wrong woman. Cherubs never learned. Thankfully they couldn’t produce children. Nothing could be more annoying than thousands of little half cherub brats running around. But what was this about Seth?

“You have no idea what she is, do you? That’s why you came to find me.” The cherub jumped from his perch, landing a little too close. “Ah, how lucky you are I decided to wait for you to answer your questions, for a price.”

Ukko gritted his teeth as he took a step back from the creature he very much wanted to pummel, just on general principle. The creature was tall, wiry but too girlish-looking by half. His soft hands had probably never held a weapon. If he served Seth, the cherub had probably never been threatened before this errand.

“Who cast a spell on you?” Ukko decided to ignore the bait. If the cherub knew he desperately wanted the answers the creature dangled in front of his face, he would only drag it out that much longer.
