Maletayah shook his head. “Yes, I am their leader, but I will be protecting Battle when he goes out on missions. Raffy here is my number two. While I’m away protecting Battle, he will be here overseeing things. I can also assign angels to the other two defence teams, and the rest will stay here and help protect the land and the kings.”

“Understood, and that will be helpful. Thank you,” Shiloh said. “Do you have mobile phones, so I can send you the training schedules?”

Maletayah nodded. “We do.”

Battle laughed. “Somehow I wasn’t expecting angels to have mobiles.”

“As soon as they were invented, Zeus made sure they would work in Olympus. Lord Hades did the same in the underworld,” Maletayah told them.

“The dead have mobiles?” Robin asked in surprise.

Maletayah laughed. “No, but demons do.”

“So much to learn,” Battle said.

“You’ll get there. No one expects you to know everything straight away,” the angel said kindly.

“Thanks.”

CHAPTER 17

Blake was sitting in his office reading through his emails. He clicked open one from Ash and looked at the designs he had sent. He would show them to Baylan, but he loved them all. Once Tudor finished resting, he would talk to both him and Puff about the triple kings’ design.

He hadn’t even considered stationery or logos for the pack or for being king.

He was pulled from his thoughts when there was a knock at the door. “Come in,” he called.

The door opened, and Ash walked in. “Hey, Blake, have a minute?”

Blake grinned. “For you, I have lots of minutes.”

Ash laughed and threw himself into the chair in front of Blake’s desk.

“I’ve just seen your designs. They’re all amazing.”

“I was just playing around with them. I can make any changes you want.”

Blake shook his head. “No changes needed. They are perfect as they are. Send me an invoice, and I’ll pay it for you.”

Ash scowled. “Shut up.”

Blake laughed. “Fair enough. So, what brought you here and made you miss lunch?”

“Busy morning. I had some cake before I came in here. While you were training earlier, someone came requesting sanctuary. They said it’s known far and wide this is the safest place to be.”

“Did you grant them sanctuary?”

Ash shook his head. “No, that’s not for me to decide. I have, however, had him cuffed and thrown into the cells.”

Blake leant forward and crossed his arms, resting them on the table. “I’m sure you had a good reason for doing that. Who is requesting sanctuary?”

“Albion Warren.”

Blake’s mouth dropped open. “Seriously?”

“Yep. He said if we gave him sanctuary, he would tell us what Barnabus is up to. He mentioned The Rising. He also mentioned a spear. I had no idea what that meant and bluffed; he then mentioned that Barnabus had sent his shadow here to spy on us.”

“Come again?” Blake asked, looking as confused as Ash had been earlier.
