CHAPTER 6

“L et go!” Lucian hollered. “Let me go!”

Mephistopheles’ grip was hard as steel, and where it touched Lucian…

His skin began to smoke.

In his eyes a red light streaked from corner to corner, an angry lightning storm of evil power. Thankfully the fallen angel had cast a spell to freeze time around them, and no one else in the museum would hear any of this.

A solid knot of cold fear twisted inside Addie’s guts. This was Lucian. This was her boyfriend, standing right here in front of her spouting off an endless stream of profanities as he struggled against Mephistopheles’ grip. She knew Lucian. She loved Lucian.

Only, it wasn’t him. Not completely. She could smell the stink of dark magic on him. Before this moment, here in the museum, she hadn’t noticed it. There was no mistaking it now.

Under a spell, Mephistopheles had said. Lucian was under a spell.

Why hadn’t she noticed it before?

Addie came back to her senses with a jolt. She couldn’t just stand here and let this happen… whatever ‘this’ was. She had to save Lucian, whatever it took. “Don’t hurt him,” she told Mephistopheles. If he ripped Lucian’s arm off, it would kill him. There wouldn’t be any saving him then.

“I’m being careful,” the fallen angel promised. “When he calms down, we’ll proceed.”

“Okay, but… Mephistopheles, what are you doing here?”

“Uh, uh, uh,” he tutted. “I thought we agreed that you would call me Philly, just like I call you Addie instead of Adair.”

Addie pressed her lips tight together. She hadn’t actually agreed to let him call her by the familiar form of her name. She usually only let friends call her Addie, and whatever she and Mephistopheles—Philly—were to each other, they certainly weren’t friends. It just wasn’t an argument she wanted to have with him. Not when he was powerful enough to literally freeze time in its tracks all around them, like he was doing right now.

That kind of power could swat away a pretty little witch like her without even breaking a sweat.

“Fine,” she said. “Philly it is. Please don’t hurt him.”

“I won’t.”

Lucian swore again, using words that Addie had never heard him say before. He tried to throw a punch at Philly. The angel squeezed harder, and Lucian dropped his fist with a shout of pain.

Addie winced, but she thought maybe holding Lucian down was best. At least until they fixed what was wrong with him. “Philly,” she repeated, “what are you doing here?”

“I came because I knew you and your boyfriend here—” Lucian growled and struggled again, and this time Philly twisted his arm until Addie heard his elbow pop. “—were coming to this reception. I thought perhaps you might bring along Kiera and that son of mine. Are they here? Maybe they could help me with your man.”

Addie was beside herself worrying over Lucian. She didn’t have time for Philly’s daddy issues about how Kiera had given up their son for adoption back when he was a baby. “Kiera and Alan are
