Angel's Redemption (The Fallen Warriors Series Book 6)
allowed Ethan to pull him to his feet.
    “Before we go, brother,” he said to Ethan, “there’s something you must know.”
    Ethan’s brow lifted in question.
    “I discovered something. Something big.”
    *****
    What seemed like an eternity later, Seth soared over the Manhattan skyline with his fellow Fallen at his sides. Aaron’s mate, Samantha, who had the ability to temporarily mask her nephilim presence, had led the group of humans into their attack positions just outside the Central Park angel tower.
    They’d had no run-ins with Consortium Guards along the way, which said something. The human lackeys generally patrolled the streets at night to ensure the curfew was honored, but either they’d all deserted their posts after finding out that the angels meant to eradicate all of mankind, or the Tribunal had already done away with them.
    “Are you okay?” Ethan asked from beside him. He flew with an unlit flame torch in one hand and his opposite arm tucked around his mate, Tayla.
    Seth tightened his grip on the flame torches he held in each hand.
    “I will be,” he said grimly. As soon as he laid eyes on Lily once again.
    “Remember, our objective is to get to the angel tower as quickly as possible,” Ethan said. “Once they sense our presence, they will most certainly ambush us. The humans will be waiting right outside the tower with their lit torches in hand. With any luck, we’ll quickly make our way inside and open the doors to allow the humans inside.”
    That was their best chance of survival. Although there were almost two hundred angels on this world, they were split between angel towers all over the world. The Central Park headquarters would have the largest population of angels, but Seth doubted there would be more than twenty of them.
    With close to a hundred humans, all of them carrying weapons, the angels in the tower would be outnumbered.
    They stood a chance of actually winning this battle.
     
    Seth felt the moment they flew into the zone of discovery. The tickle along his spine told him other angels were nearby. They would feel the same, which meant time was now of the essence.
    Soaring quickly through the air, they approached the tower. The increasing vibration through Seth’s body told him some angels had left the tower and were now headed toward them as well.
    “Time to make the drop off,” Ethan called out.
    Ethan, Jason, and Nate shot down toward the ground, depositing their nephilim mates beside their human allies, who even now raced for the tower. Then they flew back up to join him and Aaron just as a group of five angels sped toward them, their own lit torches in hand. Their faces were all familiar, of course. Given the small number of his kind, they all knew each other. Seth tried not to think about that as he turned his flame torches on. Any familial bond they might have had was torn when he and his fellow Fallen had been condemned to death. Now, as far as he was concerned, the other angels were nothing but their enemies.
    “Now,” Seth yelled. He aimed at the white-wings, and the shootout began.
    The next several minutes passed in tense concentration as he and his brethren zigged and zagged through the sky, aiming flame balls at the white-wings while avoiding their answering volleys. One came so close to his wing that he could feel the tip of his feather singe, but thankfully, it didn’t catch fire. The flame was so intense that one little spark would be all it took to almost instantly incinerate him.
    “Give it up,” a white-wing yelled. “You’re outnumbered.” Almost the moment he made that statement, a lick of flame shot up from below, catching him around the ankles. The flame sped upward, burning him to a crisp.
    Seth allowed himself a small smile of satisfaction when the other white-wings glanced below them for the first time and realized a small army of armed humans was in place just outside the tower.
    One of the angels aimed his torch toward the ground and shot
