Chapter Thirteen

Noele followed Thane’s gaze to the other side of his room. Ramiel. Her breath caught in her chest, and she instinctively ran to him. They were finally together again!

“Oh, Ramiel! I’ve missed you so much,” she said as wrapped her arms around him and began to cry.

She waited for him to envelop her in his strong arms like he always did, but he stood still, his coldness instantly noticeable. Why wasn’t he happy to see her? What had changed in the time between when they were last together and now?

Lifting her head off his chest to look up at him, she saw a sternness in his eyes she hadn’t seen since the first night they met. He stared down at her like she disgusted him. Without saying a single word, he made her feel like she wanted to cry.

What had happened to the man she loved?

“Ramiel, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you happy to see me?” she asked, fighting back a sob.

His gaze traveled down from her face to her body, and she understood immediately. Not that she blamed him. Noele knew what kind of male Ramiel was, and seeing the woman he loved dressed like some kind of whore would never make him happy, even if it was the first time they’d seen each other since her death.

She took his hands in hers and kissed them. “I did what I had to so I could help you and the Sons. Our son.”

“You became Hades’ whore to help me? How does that work?” he asked in an icy voice that chilled her to the bone.

He tugged on his hands, but Noele refused to let go. “Didn’t you just hear what I told Thane and Layla? She can warn the Sons so they can be ready to fight against Hades’ daemons.”

“Thane and Layla? So you’re fine with hanging out with daemons too? How nice for all of you. Curious how I got here? A fucking daemon, Noele! But what does that matter when you’ve been fucking Hades the whole time?” he barked as he yanked his hands from her hold.

She hated seeing him so unhappy. Somehow, she needed to reach him, but she knew her husband. When he got a thought into his head, it was hard to get it out. So she did the only thing that had ever worked with him.

Tilting her chin up so she could meet his gaze, she took a deep breath and gave him the truth he sorely needed. “Well, I’m sorry a daemon staked you, dear, but we’ve got the fate of the entire vampire world we’re working with down here, so you’ll forgive me if I’m happy to see my husband again. And yes, I have had to do some things I’m not particularly pleased about, but I wasn’t just going to let my family and friends I love fight this war on their own.”

Ramiel’s mouth dropped open just like it always did when she let him know how things really were. He could be a very stubborn male, so sometimes he needed a reality check.
