House Of Legions (The Angel Descendants book 1) novel Chapter 49

A soft sweet man’s voice replied from the back, “You late what happened, bro.”

Clare followed the voice, it was the guy who was walking towards her. Pulling her into a bear hug, her response was automatic.

Adam smelt like Chinese food, his blue hair is shorter than the other shifters, and his blue eyebrow hair thicker than average. He had brown eyes and a tattoo on his neck. She couldn’t make out what it was, beside the v shape peeking out.

Adam queried, “Clare right? Your brother hasn’t shut up about meeting you for the past week.”

Nathan laughed and walked to stand next to the guy, he was several inches shorter than Nathan, “Don’t scare my sister away.”

Adam looked around Clare, curious about what he was looking for, she turned around to see what he was so interested in, but she was lost,

Adam looked at Nathan, “Where’s Calub, I made chow mien for him, with the blue cheese he likes.”

Nathan’s happiness left him as quickly as it came. Clare could see that pain and sorrow on her brother's expression, but there was also something else, that she couldn’t quite put her finger on.

She decided, and blurted it out, “He’s been kidnapped.”

Adam was undoubtedly puzzled, “What? Serious? We should go find him, come on.” he hurried out the kitchen.

Nathan going after him, “Adam, there’s no use, word is that he’s in the Demon realms, and the Garde won’t send any of their own.”

Clare was shocked, and puzzled, “What? I didn’t know that, I thought..”

Nathan interrupted, “You thought wrong Clare, Caidrian would’ve told you anything to get you here.”

Adam added clearly worried, “Rumor has it that Calub’s not your brother.”

Clare laughed at him, but uncertainty filled inside her just as sudden, “What? No, Caidrian would have told me, you would’ve told me.”

She looked at Nathan, who just shrugged, “Of course Calub’s my brother, he’s a Draiken, right.”

Nathan stared at her, if she guessed by his expression, he was angry, her eyes searched for clues in his frown, waiting, “Yes, he’s a Draiken, this isn’t the time to talk about this, that’s only speculation.”
