I got to the top but did my best to stay out of the way. My plan was to help Azar anytime I could.
Adae staggered back, halting the battle. His robe fell from his frame in shreds and rained down on the floor.
His body. . .
Sores covered Adae’s shimmering skin. They oozed green liquid. And on his back were two long jagged scars that were at least six inches long and three inches wide.
Azar believed that Adae was an angel.
Did he cut off his wings long ago?
I turned to Azar.
My gorgeous demon was out of breath. His chest rose and fell in rapid movement. Sweat drenched his forehead. Blood trickled down his arms and chest.
Adae leaned against the wall. “You got me, but you cannot kill me.”
“Then, I will be satisfied with your being in pain.”
“Who returned the sword to you?”
Azar tilted his head to the side. “Does it matter?”
“I want to know which brother betrayed me.”
“Why? You can’t go to heaven and take your revenge.”
Adae glared. “Even if you killed me, I know what you have done.”
“What have I done?”
“You have angered Lilith. I have heard whispers. Lucifer hopes for you to breed with Fatou and take your kids to power his army.”
What?
Azar shook his head. “No one will take our kids and no one of my blood will ever fight for Lucifer.”
“But you will, Azar. You were made for them.”
Azar frowned. “I am a child of God.”
Adae widened his eyes. Loud laughter left him.
And then suddenly Azar glowed a bright white that was almost painful to look at.
Oh my God.
My heart almost stopped.
Dark black wings spread out from his back.
And it looked like Azar was just surprised as Adae and me.
The wings were magnificent and covered in iridescent feathers that looked like they were made of metal. The edges of the feathers appeared to be translucent. Light shone through them like they were made of crystal.
Sadness spread across Adae’s face. “How?”
Azar’s wings stretched out above him as he prowled over to Adae.
