Layel could not believe what he was hearing. Not three minutes prior, Thomas was complaining about his own pathetic life, and now, he was standing beside him claiming he wanted to face Fallen. Layel closed his eyes and breathed deeply, the sing of his blood was strong, letting him know demons were near. There was truly no time to argue with the petulant man, and they were practically out in the open. He could hear the bustle of the city just beyond the small alley.

Reaching into his boot, he grabbed a dagger and tossed it to Thomas. “Always keep one in your boot. You don’t know when or where you’ll run into a demon.”

Thomas caught it with an expertise Layel hadn’t been expecting. He flicked it into his hand and whirled, placing his back against Layel’s. He was impressed with the human. While he’d expected the chosen guard to have fighting skills, he had never anticipated the man chosen purely for the use of his Guild, would have them as well. Layel was more than a little proud of King George’s choice.

“Stay close to me, there is no need to be back to back, Fallen can fly.”

He felt Thomas shutter against him, and they both began to walk towards the mouth of the alley. His eyes grew round with shock when he spotted the three Fallen—a woman and two men that he hadn’t even known had been lost. He whistled a shrill trill that had all three Fallen turning to him.

“Layel,” Sanriel said, a wicked grin curving her lips. “Seraphina would be proud if we brought back his head.”

“Seraphina?” Thomas asked beside him.

“Remember our first interaction, when I said someone was creating chaos?”

“I don’t believe we got that far,” Thomas said as he edged back into the alley, away from human eyes.

“Well, we might have if you did not panic. Seraphina is the woman in charge of demons. Lucifer was real. He is dead. She is the one to worry about now,” Layel said. As he finished his sentence, still holding his sword, he snagged a dagger from his other boot and set it sailing, lodging into one of the men’s shoulders.

An inhuman howl filled the space, and three sets of glistening, dark black wings unfurled. Layel didn’t know if they would take to the sky, but if they did, humanity was going to learn about them whether he wanted them to or not.

Sanriel was on him before he had a chance to swing his sword. He crashed into the ground, shocked by the female’s speed. Kicking his knee up, he drove it into her abdomen and released his sword. Bringing his hands up, he wrapped them tightly around her neck. Her blue eyes bulged, but oddly, instead of reaching to remove his hands, she covered hers as far around his throat as she could. He could feel her nails stabbing dangerously into his neck. Aside from that, she was not strong enough to truly block his airflow. He, however, was.
