A bad taste coated my tongue. “Werewolves? I detest them.”
“Azar, you are on the path of good. One day, you must work with them to battle against a great darkness that will be coming there.”
Fatou held Jade closer to her. “What type of darkness?”
Raphael gave her a sad smile. “Even I. . .am not sure of it.”
An angel doesn’t know. That’s not a good sign.
“All I know is that God has bound many of his greatest creatures to this area.”
“The werewolf pack too?” I asked.
Raphael nodded. “And others.”
I put my arm around Fatou. “What happens once we arrive to Crystal Lake?”
“Live there and stay to yourself. There will be no need to interact with the pack until I tell you.”
Fatou spoke, “Will it be safe for my daughter?”
Raphael chuckled in that same tone.
Jade giggled again.
Raphael’s wings fluttered. “You are a good mother, Fatou, but you will discover that little Jade does not need any protection.”
I’m not sure about that. I vow to keep them both safe.
Raphael looked at me as if he could hear my words. “In fact, none of your and Azar’s children will need much protection at all.”
Children? Yes!
For a second, I suddenly began to worry. “Hold on. Lucifer may come to demand—”
“All the fallen angels now know that you killed Adae.” Raphael’s smile widened. “And they know that you were given weapons from God—the wings of victory and a holy sword of resurrection. Neither Lucifer nor Lilith will bother you. Additionally, you are no longer linked to them. Therefore, they can no longer sense you.”
That still didn’t calm me. “And if they do happen to come?”
“I will be there.” Raphael rose a little higher. “Consider me your guardian angel.”
I smirked. “Then, back to the topic of our children. How many?”
“Why ask questions when the answers will come soon?” Raphael flapped those wings. “For now, go to Crystal Lake. Go toward your destinies.”
“But—”
And then he disappeared.
The King’s men continued to pray on the ground. However, the King gazed at Fatou. Sorrowful regret covered his face.
I still wish I could have killed you.
Fatou spoke, “If you took Jade out of her room to test her, then you must have discovered that Mother gave me her men.”
The King gave her a slow nod.
Fatou glared. “Where is she?”
