The Lair

After The Battle

Regrouping Time

Time: Minutes Remaining…

Yeah, this was definitely not a win for any of them. While they got one of the relics back, they lost the other, and it just so happened to be the more dangerous one.

This battle had kicked their asses.

And now, came the fallout.

Before returning to the safety of the house, now attached magically to the house inNew Orleans, they tucked awayThe Vampyre’s Crossat the lair.

It was put away in Pandora’s Box, and safe. They’d retrieved one more, and they were continuing on the path to get them all.

Only, losingThe Necromancer’s Sword…

And Kiera…

That was a problem.

Had it not been by Aiobeheann, and they’d not lost Kiera in the process, it wouldn’t have been so bad. They could always regroup and find the relic.

Only, now, they had to find Kiera too.

The big issue with that was Alex. They had to tell him that while they had saved their own asses, they lost his mate toThe Wickedest Witch.

This was going to suck.

If that wasn’t bad enough, Fate was about to be free, and they had a teenage Nephilim that Jolie manifested into existence.

How?

Well, Nephilim were angelic, and they were the precursor to demons. Meaning, they were dead. With the help of The God Stone, and the spell Rinnon accidentally put on her during sex…

They raised a Nephilim from her own body.

Lilith was born, and she had no freaking clue how to do what Nephilims did.

Bad shit.

Well, maybe there was a plus to this. At least they didn’t have to worry about Fate killing Lilith.

She was full grown, and attached to her father.

How attached?

Uh, Flynn had a teenager holding his hand, and it didn’t look as if she was going to let go anytime soon. Again, that might work to their advantage.

If Fate got a hold of a Nephilim…

Been there.

Done that.
