  The male stared him down, his blue eyes sober and expression serious. “You believed in her once.”

  He froze again, the collision of feelings he couldn’t grasp sending his mind swirling. Had he known the witch the angel spoke of? His free hand twitched, and this time he didn’t hold it back. He brushed his fingers over the crimson crossed axes on his vambrace and down over the skull below them.

  Had he known her?

  He searched his memories and found none of a witch. He had never met one of her kind before. The angel was mistaken.

  Dark words rang in his mind, his order clear. Make the male leave now, or face the consequences of disobedience.

  Rook swept his palm down the length of his blade again, transforming it back into his crimson broadsword. He beat his scarlet feathered wings, focused his mind and readied himself.

  “Will you listen to me?” the angel barked. “Do not listen to him. He wants you here for some reason. Rook, you must listen to me.”

  He growled, flashing his sharp teeth, and gripped his sword in both hands. “I know no witch. I have never met one of her kind. I do not have to listen to you because you mean to deceive me.”

  “Fine, Rook.” The male rose to his full height, tipping his chin up as his blue eyes brightened, glowing in the low light. He held his hands out in front of him and twin curved golden blades appeared in them. “We will do this the hard way.”

  Rook readied his own sword.

  The angel unleashed his black wings, twisted away from him and beat them, hurling a wave of dust at Rook as he shot into the distance.

  Rook snarled and flew after him, his wings beating furiously as he fought to close the distance between them. He was damned if he was going to let the angel get away again. This time, the male was going down. He would capture the creature and present him to the Devil, and his master would recognise his strength and skill.

  The position of next commander of the First Battalion would be secured.

  Everything he had ever wanted in his life would be his.

  His wrists burned and he grunted as a wave of fire encircled them, chasing around them beneath his vambraces and searing his bones.

  It was all he wanted.

  This realm was his everything.

  He gritted his teeth against the ribbons of fire as they blazed hotter.

  His entire world.

  He squeezed his eyes shut.

  A feminine voice echoed in the darkness, cutting through the pain.

  Reached to him and wrapped him in comforting arms that stole it all away, left him drifting in the shadows, feeling light inside.

  “I’ll be with you forever.”

  Heat streaked down his cheeks, a tremendous pain welling up inside him, one he couldn’t contain.

  He threw his head back and roared.

  A single thought crystallised.

  The owner of that voice was his entire world.

  It shattered as quickly as it had formed.

  Rook frowned down at his wrists, beating his wings to keep him in the air. The breeze from them cooled his face for some reason. He lifted his free hand and brushed his fingers across the wetness on his cheeks, canted his head and studied it as he brought them away.

  It meant nothing.

  He shifted his gaze from them and fixed it on the retreating angel.

  A male who would be his prize and would secure his elevation in the ranks.

  He flapped his wings and shot after him, because achieving the position of commander of the First Battalion and the power it would gain him was the only thing he cared about.

  It meant everything.

  It was his entire world.

  The only forever he desired.

  Bound Angel (Her Angel: Bound Warriors paranormal romance series book 4)

  Second in command of the most fearsome legion of fallen angels in Hell, Rook only cares about one thing—seizing control of the First Battalion and moving one step closer to the Devil. But a dark angel of Heaven keeps seeking him out, insisting a witch needs his help, and one glance at an image of the ethereal silver-haired beauty stirs powerful emotions long forgotten and rouses a deep need he cannot deny or understand—one that commands him to risk everything and save her.

  Isadora has been a fool. Millennia alone, enduring an eternal life created by the bond she shares with the angel she lost, has taken its toll on her. Desperate to see a familiar face, she followed rumours to Paris and placed her trust in a group of witches, only to be betrayed once again. Now, they want the spell that has made her immortal and she’s close to breaking… until a formidable warrior with crimson wings comes to her rescue, awakening old feelings never forgotten in her shattered heart.

  With the mounting threat of witches and an enemy of old in danger of tearing them apart, can Rook untangle the truth about the past he can’t remember and can Isadora convince her demonic angel the forever he desires is the one he promised her?
