Chapter Eleven

“You never told me why you decided to break the rules and help the Horsemen. I can’t think I was that bad an influence on you.” Day coughed, hiding his laugh when Lam squinted at him.

“How could you have influenced me to help someone? You’re not altruistic enough to make me think I should do something nice.” Lam poked him in the side.

Day couldn’t argue with that statement. “I meant influencing you to break the rules, not help them. I mean, you had to threaten me to get me to help you with Gatian and Pierre.”

Remembering how Lam had threatened to stop seeing him if he didn’t help brought a frown to Day’s face. Lam patted his cheek.

“I’m sorry, but I couldn’t do it and I knew you’d be able to get what was needed.”

Huffing his annoyance, Day tapped Lam on the nose. “I don’t appreciate being blackmailed, love. You should know that.”

“Fine. I won’t do it again. I’ll simply ask you to help me.” Lam wiggled his eyebrows at him and Day shook his head.

“Asking would be better, though I can’t think of any reason you might want to help anyone. It’s not like you’ll be dealing with the new Horsemen—or any other angels for that matter.” He regretted his words the minute sadness sprung up in Lam’s blue eyes. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have reminded you.”

Day hugged Lam, resting his cheek on Lam’s bright curls. Lam entwined his arms around Day then gripped the back of his shirt. A sob shook Lam and surprised Day. He hadn’t expected tears.

Idiot. Of course there’ll be tears. I’m pretty sure he hasn’t dealt with all that he’s lost yet. He was healing from losing his wings before he found you. Now that he’s safe, Lam can mourn.

He murmured while smoothing his hands up and down Lam’s back. He tried to ignore the bumps from the scars on Lam’s shoulder blades. He and Lam had a matching set. The realization didn’t make him happy. He’d have preferred Lam to never suffer such pain and loss in his life.

A sudden surge of power brought his head up and he searched the area around them to see what—or who—had arrived. He put Lam behind him when he spotted Uriel standing to the south.

“What are you doing here?” Day demanded of the archangel. “You’re not welcome in this place.”

Uriel studied both of them for a moment, his dispassionate expression never changing. “I’m here to ask you to repent, Lucifer Daystar.”

Day grunted as Lam’s hold on his arms grew so strong, he was sure to have bruises there. “We’ve gone over this before. I won’t repent for something I believed was right.”

“Leading a rebellion against the Quad wasn’t the right thing to do, Daystar. It was foolish to believe you’d be able to defeat us.” Uriel crossed his arms over his massive chest and stared. “Corrupting one of our angels is another act that is very hard to overlook.”

“He didn’t corrupt me. I knowingly joined with him,” Lam told the archangel.
