Thorne spun on his heel in seconds, his eyes wide and Noah spat out a spray of his drink and stared at her. “What?”“I mean, it’s okay if you are. I don’t mind. In this day and age, two guys being together is nothing new and it’s kind of adorable to think two demons might be—”“Just stop.” Noah held up his hand and she looked at Thorne who was shaking his head and silently chuckling to himself. She looked at the blond again and Noah leaned forward. “Thorne and I are not together. We never have been and never will be. I happen to think all women are goddesses, should be treated as such and shown the wildest passion imaginable.”Serenity’s face heated and she lowered her gaze for a moment.“Thorne and I have known each other for over one and a half centuries. We are as close to being brothers as we can get and that is it. There is nothing romantic or sexual going on

“If it makes you feel any better, Thorne and I don’t have parents anymore either. No demons or angels do. We’re… possessed.”“Possessed?”“Yeah.” Noah put the cap on his water and dumped it beside him, before picking himself up and going to the bookshelf again. Pulling out a different tome, he came back and sat beside her. The heat from his thigh against hers had her stomach fluttering, but she shut it down and watched as he opened the book. “The soul… no, that’s not quite the right word… uh… the essence of a demon is housed in a crystal.”Noah flipped a couple pages and showed her a picture. There was a pile of crystals heaped on the floor of a room and a body strapped to a table in the middle. He flipped over another page and showed her the picture.“One of those shards, houses a demon’s essence. It is then surgically grafted onto the

“So now what?”Noah grimaced and Serenity’s heart flipped as he looked back to her. there was something he wasn''t telling her. He and Thorne had been keeping her safe for so long, by not telling her anything, or showing her their world... now it seemed to not be sitting well with him, having to explain things and exposing things which might put her in danger.“We know the angels are not loathed to using dirty tactics and Manipulators. So, we just keep ahead of them. I’ll have to call in some contacts, and possible a few favors, just to keep you safe, until your birthday. Then… well then the real fun starts.”“What do you mean?”Noah leaned forward, his blond hair dropping over his eyes and he stared at his hands. “We have to get you to the leaders of the Horde.”There were leaders? Well, she guessed if there were higher ranking angels, there would be higher ranking demons too.

“No.”“There’s no other way around it, Thorne.” Noah said, pacing in front of the sofa Serenity was sitting on. Thorne was standing in the corner of the room, his blue gaze watching the blond pace.“I said no.”Serenity rolled her eyes and lifted her legs, tucking them underneath her, while the pair in front of her argued.“You know Claudette doesn’t travel and she’s the closest one who knows the ritual to bind Serenity to the Horde.” Noah was becoming frustrated, she could see it in the way he moved, the way his gaze constantly flicked back to her, then to Thorne. “We have no other way.”Serenity’s gaze shifted to Thorne. His leather funnel-coat had a sheen of water to it, his hair slicked, and she glanced at the window, noticing the drizzle of rain. He had an air of tenseness to him, as if he’d pounce at any moment.“And yo

“Thorne got us a meeting with a witch.”Serenity put the book to the side and looked at Noah. “Claudette?”The demon winced and shook his head. “Uh, no. Not that lucky. The one he’s found is a bit raw, but she’d be able to at least hide you from the Legion until we can get you to Claudette.”“So, I have to meet a rookie?”“Yeah. You guys will be able to trade stories.” Noah chuckled and Serenity flipped him off, earning another chuckle. “No, seriously, Thorne wouldn’t have suggested the witch, if he wasn’t confident in her abilities to hide you.”“As long as she doesn’t turn me into a frog.”“Might keep the coffee safe.”“Asshole.”“Yep, get used to it, princess.”The door of the apartment opened, and Thorne walked back in, carrying food and Noah all but rushed him, wrestli

A snorted giggle escaped her lips and Noah’s gaze snapped to hers. She licked her lips and lowered her gaze. “I’m sorry.”The silence in the room ratcheted up and Serenity lifted her gaze to the men in front of her.“So… since her?”Noah blinked. “Are you kidding? You’re seriously asking about my love life?”Heat raced across her cheeks, and she pursed her lips. “Well-I-I mean, you said you weren’t gay. But you haven’t had a girlfriend for what? Forty years? Come on, we’re going to be spending time together. I want to know a bit more about you. Sharing is caring.”There was silence again.“Well, miss nosey parker. If you really must know…” Noah sat forward, his elbows resting on his knees. “I’ve been with women since her.”Serenity’s face heated further, and she frowned at the intense gaze he was afford

Sitting next to Noah in the taxi, Serenity’s skin prickled. The pair of demons had been quieter this morning at breakfast, but no less intense. She’d caught Noah watching her on more than one occasion and while she’d usually flipped him off; she suddenly liked the attention. Thorne had left before them, making sure the witch’s house was secure and had messaged when it was. The cab pulled up outside a small bungalow in a leafy suburb and Noah paid the driver. They climbed out and walked up the path, the door opening as they climbed the steps. Thorne stood in the doorway. “Took your time.”“Go fuck yourself.” Noah growled, pushing past him and the darker demon turned, watching him. Serenity stopped next to Thorne, and he looked down at her.“He okay?”“He hasn’t spoken since you left. The traffic was terrible, and he was silent the whole way.”&

Owen scrambled to his feet, smoothing his hands over his shirt and pants, his hands diving into his pockets for only a second, before they came back out, devoid of rings. “There, see, I can’t hurt her again.”Noah watched closely, as Owen stepped closer to her and held out his hand.“I’m sorry, my dear, I need only a small drop of blood.”Serenity’s gaze shifted from Owen, to Noah, then to Thorne. The dark demon nodded, and she looked back at Owen. Sighing, she put out her hand and Owen smiled, guiding her toward the table.Noah was close behind her; an ever-present comfort and she looked back to him for a second. He was not happy. She could see it in his features. His gaze shifted to hers and he frowned. All he had to say, was he didn’t want her doing this, and she would scurry behind Thorne and they could leave.Serenity looked back to Owen as the witch pulled a hat pin out of a bowl on the table an

The bags were packed and sitting by the door. Thorne was pacing, his phone in his hands. Serenity sat on the sofa, her leg bouncing as she watched the demon walking back and forth in front of her.“Where is he?”Thorne shrugged, but didn’t look at her, continuing his pacing.She rolled her eyes and sat back. It’d been almost two hours since they’d left Noah with Owen, the witch. The demons were adamant he was a fake and Noah had gone after him and the hat-pin Owen had used to take some of her blood.Thorne’s phone pinged and he stopped, looking down at it.Serenity climbed to her feet and walked over to him, leaning over, and reading the message. Get out! The phone disappeared into Thorne’s coat, and he looked up at her. “Grab your bag. Now.”She raced to the three duffle bags and grabbed the smaller one, as Thor

Serenity’s hand gripped Thorne’s tighter and the demon squeezed hers in reassurance.At least she was safe… with one of her guardians.The thought of Noah being in danger slammed into her mind and she stopped, her hand slipping from Thorne’s. He stopped and turned back to her. The red lights were barely enough to see what he was signing. “Serenity.”“Is he okay?”Thorne’s head turned to the sound of fighting, before he looked back to her. “Yes.”“Are you sure?”“Serenity, Noah is fine. Trust me.”“How can you be so sure?”Thorne stepped closer, his figure imposing and for the first time since she’d met him, he was intimidating. “Because I’ve known him for over a century. He’s fine. He’s one of the most dangerous individuals I know.”Serenity blinked
