Chapter Thirteen

Max leaned down and kissed Rose on the cheek. “I can’t wait to get back and try your cupcakes. Thank you. I merely want to get these errands run early because I know Damian and I have things to do this afternoon.”

She patted his cheek. “Be careful out there.”

He nodded at Catherine and waved at his mentor before he shrugged into his coat and headed out the door. Damian refilled their teacups and sat, holding his in his lap. “So, let me ask you this question. If you had all this knowledge and an understanding of the inner workings of the human-demon relationship, that made you somewhat of an enemy to the church, didn’t it?”

Rose’s shoulders vibrated as she giggled. “I don’t think you would call it an enemy, per se. But it definitely was a love-hate relationship, to say the least. I knew things about the church and the members that could have been extremely damaging to them.”

“Only our church?” Damian asked.

She scoffed. “No. Of course not. The idea that there are different types of Christianity is laughable—at least it is now that I know what I know. Everyone dipped their toes in the water. The Catholics, Protestants, Methodists, us, you name it. They were all involved.”

Damian shook his head. “Fascinating. Very fascinating. Then how did you get out of it all without someone…well, taking you out?”

“Grace,” she said pointedly. “In the form of an angel I think you’ve met once.”

“Gabriel,” he whispered.

“Mhmm.” She nodded. “That’s the one. He has visited me since I was a young eighteen-year-old and signed up to kick demon butt. He is the one who ordered my protection through the church and threatened Lucifer with punishment if I were to die at the hands of a demon. In fact, he paid me a lovely visit last night.”

Damian sat bolt upright in his chair. “He did?”

Rose waved to Catherine. “Could you be a dear and get that envelope out of my purse?”

“Of course,” her daughter replied and hurried to comply. She handed it to her mother.

Rose held the envelope out to Damian, who stood and took it from her. “Read that in the sanctuary of this house tonight.”

He nodded and slid it into the breast pocket of his coat. “Of course.”

The old lady dragged in a deep breath and focused on the fire. “The cycle must end, Damian.” Her gaze shifted to him. “And you must be the one to end it.”
