she asked disgusted.
“Risking my ass for you—again.” He said as his left arm lit up red and shot down to his hand.
G asping, she stumbled back as the red light entered, illuminating through Hazel. She inhaled strenuously as Lucien lolled to the side and fell to the floor. Staring at them both, Athena trembled slightly hoping her eyes were deceiving her. Hazel was now breathing on her own—he’d given her life. But that was impossible because he was a demon! Demons weren’t granted with that power. One thing immediately dawned on her at that very moment.
Hazel was never her Charge. Lucien was. He was one of The Divine.

Athena nibbled on her bottom lip as confusion floated through her mind. She’d paced back and forth through the living room after putting Hazel in her other guestroom. She contemplated calling Muriel but knew she would only make things worse. One thing was apparent, she was definitely gonna have to protect him from Dezmon and his goons. Not knowing what else to do, she went back to her room and watched him. Again, he slept like the dead. He suddenly started to stir and she sat beside him on the bed.
Opening his eyes, he saw Athena staring at him intensely and he sighed.
“What’d I do this time?” he rasped out.
“You saved Hazel.” She whispered.
“Explains why I feel like shit.” He said as a matter of factly.
Her eyes were so beautifully mesmerizing that he could help but stare at them.
“Can we talk now?” she inquired.
He noted the concern laced in her tone and raised a skeptical eyebrow. Since they met, she’d been nothing but a hard ass. Even after he’d saved her life—he’d woken up with a blade to his throat. If she had been anyone else he would’ve killed her by now, but there was something about her that kept him intrigued.
“About?” he asked trying to sit up but his strength was st ill depleted.
“For starters, who are you?” she asked seriously.
“Lucien.” He answered and she sighed frustrated.
Swallowing her anger, she proceeded with the questions as calmly as she could. His sarcasm was just gonna have to roll off of her.
“Ok, what are you?” she pushed.
“A demon.” He said curt.
“You can’t be just a demon.” She modified.
“Unadulterated. Born in Hell. Raised in Hell. Trained in Hell. Live in Hell. Demon.” He corrected with a nod.
Sighing confused, she kept going.
“Who was the girl you saved at the hospital?”
“Delilah.” He answered and his diminutive answers were getting annoying.
Not to mention the thought of him with Delilah infuriated her.
“Who is Delilah to you?” she ground out and again he thought her words were dripping with jealousy.
“I owed her.”
“Why?” she asked narrowing her eyes.
“I left her at the diner alone and Vulcan attacked her.”
“Is she your mate?” she bit through clenched teeth.
“How is this relevant?” he asked studying her.
“Because you brought her into my house and obviously Vulcan wants you both dead.”
“I just needed to make sure she was safe Princess. I dragged her into this—” he said regrettably and Athena couldn’t tell if he was romantically involved with her.
But by the way Delilah called him by an endearing name she knew otherwise. She had no clue why she wanted him to just flat out say no.
“How’d you save Hazel?” she asked staring him in the eyes and he just sat quietly.
After a few moments she realized he wasn’t going to respond to that. Pushing her ego to the side, she swallowed hard and went to the next question.
“ Why’d you save Hazel?”
“For you.” He said seriously still gazing into her eyes.
She hadn’t expected that answer.
“For me?” she asked baffled and he nodded, slightly nibbling his bottom lip and she found it sexy.
“Did I break some kind of “code” or something?
