.You are the only living female human with the direct blood of a fallen Watcher that we know of.That is why you are so special.”Keely stares at Nick in stunned silence.Her lips move with the many questions she has, but nothing comes out.Instead, she finally says, “That’s why he’s always so bright.”“What do you mean?” Nick asks her.His voice is carefully controlled.“Both times he was surrounded by a bright light.Like, it was coming from him.From inside of him or something.It made it hard to see him.” She bites her lip.“I’m confused.Is my father bad then?”He leans forward.Runs his hands through his dark hair.“Never doubt that Keely.Never trust him.Never underestimate him.He is bad, just as bad as Lucifer.He will use you.He will hurt you if he has to, if he wants to.You don’t spend that much time living among Demons and have a good side.Please trust me on this.Trust that God knew what he was doing.”For some reason, Keely had found it easier to accept when she thought she was a monster.A Demon child.Now she’s believed to be the only surviving daughter of an Angel.Watchers are Angels.Who knew.“Oh.Oh.Watchers are Angels.Watchers are Angels? Then Bryon is…?”“Not an Angel.Descendant.Genus Lapsis.When an Angel falls in love, is granted permission from God, it’s a whole different story.So a very long time ago, a Watcher fell in love with a woman and many, many generations later, Bryon was born.He has the blood of a Watcher, same as you, only with God’s blessing.”“And you’re a Guardian.So does that mean…?”“That means some time back, a Guardian Angel fell in love and years and years later, I was born.”“Oh my God.” It’s Keely’s turn to pace the room now.She walks back and forth, chewing her lip.Tries to comprehend everything he has told her.This is just too much.“So, just because God wasn’t asked first, my father had creepy giant children and was sentenced to Hell? That seems a little extreme.”“God has a plan.You can’t just go against God and expect no repercussions.They fell as Angels and mated with human women.Two totally different species.” As if just remembering, he adds, “Also, we’re not sure how many daughters the Demon King fathered.Police records indicate there were twenty-two including you, but we haven’t been able to confirm that.The sperm bank burnt down, destroying the records, and we assume any of his leftover donation.When the Watchers fell, there were twenty-two of them.Twenty-two giant hybrid sons by twenty-two fallen Watchers.Now your father had twenty-two daughters—daughters that were supposed to be impossible to conceive.I think that is more than coincidence.”“Asmoday said I had the potential to change everything.What do you think he meant?”“I don’t know, but you cannot trust him.He’s a Demon.You may share a father, but your mothers are very different.He was born of Hell and is as dangerous as they come.”“I don’t really feel that way when I’m around him.I know I should be afraid of him, and I start out that way, but then I’m just not all of a sudden.” Her cheeks turn pink with heat because she knows why she doesn’t fear him.“He can charm you, Keely.He can take the form of anything or anyone.He can be whatever he thinks you want him to be.Be very careful.As long as he only comes to you in your dreams you should be all right, just don’t agree to stay.Do you understand?”“What will happen if I do?”Nick’s eyes lock with hers.“I’m afraid you might not come back.”Eleven:Nick stares at the speckling of hair on the backs of his hands until his vision blurs.He is so absorbed in his thoughts that he doesn’t hear the knock at the door.Doesn’t feel the shift in the couch as Keely leaves his side to answer it.It isn’t until Lila is standing in front of him, hands on hips, staring expectantly that he focuses on his surroundings.“What are you doing here?” he asks slowly.Lila squints at him.“Well, I’m so happy to see you too.”Nick sighs.He doesn’t have the patience for Lila right now.In fact, he’s fairly certain his patience is all used up for the day.He has filled his quota with Keely and he’s a first come, first served kind of guy.“What are you doing here, Lila?”Lila clicks her tongue.“I came to check in.” She crosses her arms in front of her.“I wanted to see if you had figured anything out.From what we discussed yesterday, I mean.”“No, I haven’t.” He raises his brows.Is she really going to bring this up in front of Keely? “You could have called to check in.” He glances over at Keely, who happens to be watching them intently, then back to Lila.Slits his eyes in an obvious glare.Hopes she takes the hint.Lila plops in between Keely and Nick on the futon.“What are you watching?” she asks.“Seriously? Nobody is going to bother to elaborate?” Keely asks, her voice several octaves higher than normal from annoyance.“Lila is just referring to what I told you about earlier.About how I think someone may be playing both sides.” Lila raises a questioning brow.Nick ignores it.Keely looks at Lila.She looks back to Nick.Her eyebrows crinkle while she thinks.Would Nick say this in front of Lila if he thought she were the traitor? Keely finds this doubtful.So, if Nick doesn’t think it’s Lila, then that leaves Bryon and Dustin.Keely cannot imagine either one of them being a traitor.Of course, a few days ago she wouldn’t have been able to imagine them as Watchers either.Not that she knew Watchers even existed a few days ago.Keely closes her eyes.Forces herself to concentrate.Bryon just wouldn’t do something like that.Especially after he begged her for another chance.Not unless that was just an act so that she would trust him again.Dustin is much too in love with Lila to betray her [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
