Kagan stretched. Early morning light filtered in through the gauzy curtains, the white sheets covering him from the waist down. He couldn’t stop grinning. It had been centuries since he’d felt so relaxed, if ever. Mira still slept beside him, curled on her side, her breathing soft and slow. He stroked a few rogue curls from her face. They had both enjoyed themselves last night.

He could spend an eternity watching her sleep, enjoying the smile playing on her lips while she dreamed. She’d mentioned having awful nightmares, but her serene expression now told him she was thinking of things much more pleasant, perhaps their lovemaking. He’d certainly relieved those exquisite moments over again in his mind numerous times over the past few hours. He traced his fingertips down her cheek. She was beautiful when she slept, beautiful when she was awake, beautiful when she screamed his name during her climax.

My beautiful angel.

She fascinated him, and not just because of the ancient Seal she hosted. He’d never been with a woman like her before—strong, smart, independent. Her Seal’s powers had been apparent last night in the bedroom, as she’d taken the lead with him, driving him wild with need and the odd compulsion to submit. Scions submitted to no one, as a general rule, but Kagan would’ve blissfully knelt at her feet and served her for eons. At all other times, however, Mira managed to keep the inclinations to conquer and enslave locked tightly away. He’d seen her treat others with nothing but kindness, compassion, and tolerance. Well, except for her cheating ex.

That man deserved no goodwill.

He rubbed his eyes and rolled over onto his back to stare at the ceiling. He realized now why Argus had looked familiar. It was the flat, lifeless, gray eyes. He’d not seen a Nephilim in centuries, but the resulting battle the last time the abominations had surface had not been pretty. In fact, the repercussions had shaken the foundations of Heaven and resulted in Lucifer’s banishment. What he couldn’t understand was why the half-breeds were back now.

Mira stirred beside him, drawing Kagan’s attention once more. He propped himself up on one elbow and leaned over to kiss her forehead. She murmured a quiet protest, wrinkling her nose and huddling down into the covers. Her smile stayed in place, though, brightening his day.

With a sigh, Kagan left the bed and pulled the covers up to Mira’s shoulders, tucking her in. On her back, near her shoulder blades, he spotted her Seal’s mark—a reddish design that most mortals would consider a birthmark, but he knew the truth. The small abstract shape of a crown and bow stood out from her otherwise flawless skin. He couldn’t resist bending to press a kiss there as well. His own Scion sigil responded in kind, flaring hot in deference to the host he served.

Speaking of serving…

Either Divinity had yet to notice his absence or did not care. The later was most likely. She was omnipotent and knew where Her warriors were at all times.
