LIGHT OF THE WORLD – EXCERPT
“We meet again, Miss Walker.” Despite his warm greeting, no smile graced his handsome features.
I took a glance back at Kincade who stood behind me, but his green-gold gaze was fixed firmly on Sebastian. I returned my gaze to him, my stomach nothing but a ball of nerves. My palms broke into a hot sweat.
“What can I do for you, Sebastian?”
His gaze flickered from me to Kincade and back again. Imperceptible, but unmistakable. And my gut clenched even harder.
“Kincade, perhaps you should be the one to tell her.” He sat on the sofa and leaned back as if he owned the joint.
Arrogant fuck.
“I don’t think so.” Kincade’s voice was gruff.
Hot tingles danced up my spine and prickled the base of my skull. “Tell me what?”
“Kincade left the Brotherhood,” Sebastian said, then paused for dramatic effect. He pinpointed me with those lethal eyes. “For you.”
That wasn’t news to me. I forced Kincade to tell me he left to protect me because I needed someone to trust, someone who always had my back, someone who was my self-appointed guardian. He was a general in the Brotherhood. A general who led a task force with which Ophelia fought with to hunt down and destroy Fallen high lords who were killing guardian angels and then stealing their humans’ souls. All in an effort to build Lucifer’s army.
I lifted a brow as I peered down at the man. “And?”
“And because he left, he broke certain rules.” Again, the man’s gaze flickered to Kincade.
I huffed out an exasperated breath. “Any idea when you’ll be getting to the fucking point?”
Behind me, Kincade sucked in a breath but it was so quiet I might have missed it if my senses hadn’t been on high alert.
“There are consequences for his actions, Miss Walker. He must return with me to the Brotherhood and face those consequences.”
My heart dropped into my shoes. My head snapped around to look at Kincade, but he stood unmoving as though carved from stone. His face had zero expression but I noticed his clenched jaw and the muscles flexing there. It was his reaction to me when I was being particularly difficult.
I looked back to Sebastian. “He can’t return with you.”
“He can and he will. He must.”
“No.” My voice wavered only a little.
“I’m afraid this isn’t up to you, Miss Walker. As the commander of the Brotherhood, it is my sworn duty to bring him back before the Warden of Nine.”
“What the fuck is the Warden of Nine?” I demanded. My hands clenched into tight fists. My blood beat at a furious rate inside my head.
“The governing body of the Brotherhood of Watchers,” Kincade replied.
And the terrible tone in his voice nearly sent me to my knees. He sounded unhappy and even a little disgruntled.
“They will be the ones to decide his fate,” Sebastian said as though discussing the weather or the latest cricket match.
“What fate?”
“He will either be cast out from the Watchers for all eternity…” Again, the man paused. Such a drama queen.
“Or?” I asked.
“I’ll be executed for treason.”
