Chapter 14

Anjali opened her eyes and gasped when she felt a searing pain in her stomach. She looked around the room, confused. She appeared to be in some kind of cabin. She had no idea how she had gotten there. The last thing she remembered was fighting a horde of revenants in Monroe’s demolished drug lab as she searched for Jericho.

A shadow passed across her vision, but she couldn’t focus on a face. She tried to sit up, but a hand pushed her shoulder down.

“You need to rest.” The man standing above her had a soft, pleasant voice. For some reason she trusted him.

“Where am I? What happened?” she asked. Her hand drifted to her stomach, but the man snatched her wrist before she could figure out why she was in pain.

“You were injured during the fight,” the man replied softly.

The fight. She remembered feeling a sharp tearing sensation through her stomach. A sword. Someone had driven a sword through her.

Her insides were cold when she remembered the brown eyes that he met hers just as the pain exploded through her. Balthazar.

Her anger rose when she remembered seeing Balthazar pushing his way through the mob of revenants, preparing to drive his long sword through her. Apparently, he had finally figured out why he wanted her dead, which was unfortunate. He had marked her as his enemy and there would be no second chances, no more excuses. She would personally remove Balthazar’s head and present it to Michael and the Council.

Throwing herself from the bed, her pain lessened as her power swirled inside of her, begging to be released. She found her target and smiled broadly at him. Balthazar’s brown eyes were cast downward at first, but narrowed when he saw that she intended on attacking him. He shifted into a defensive stance and pushed open the sides of his leather duster, revealing his armory.

Anjali’s anger spiked when she saw the rows of metal knives and daggers. Rage spread through her. Her angel had tried to kill her! Vengeance had much to learn if he thought he could kill his Master. She removed her ring and let it fall to the floor. If Vengeance wanted a fight, she would give him one.

“How dare you strike me!” she yelled. Her voice was filled with power and had an authoritative tone to it. The Destroyer was furious that her angel had dared to hurt her. She sized up her angel. Though he was almost a foot taller than her and broad chested, he was no match for her power.

Balthazar’s knees almost buckled when he heard her commanding voice. His instincts told him to kneel, or face the consequences, but he ignored them. Never one to be afraid of an opponent, he stood his ground, but admitted that might be in serious trouble. The tips of her hair floated in the air and her eyes were black. Electricity snapped and crackled all around her.

“Whatever you do to me, I will do worse to you. I bested Aeries, I can best you,” he replied, sounding braver than he felt.
