House Of Legions (The Angel Descendants book 1) novel Chapter 90

She giggled at Nathan, who shook his head and kissed her absently on the head.

Clare felt her body tense, with all their eyes on her, including Kole. He pierced her with his snake-like green gaze, which she recalled was grey at the Eiffel tower, before they became firing lava.

Tash looked at her, “It’s quite obvious that Phillip is in love with you, he sends my friends messages all the time, about you, quite cheesy if you asked me.”

Phillip remarked, “Unfortunately,” abruptly bumping Clare, “for Phillip, it appears Clare’s heart dwells for another.”

Kole saw him, and in a flash was standing in front of Clare, with his drink in his hand, giving Phillip a grave stare.

Clare was nervous, her brother Calub was grinning, enjoying this.

Tash gave Clare an impatient look.

Kole still devilled eyeing Phillip, the tension heating up between the two, like the heat of an open fire, “Quite unfortunate for you.”

“Well,” Tash said, “aren’t you going to tell us.”

Clare stood stunned not knowing what to say.

“Yes Clare please, enlighten us,” Phillip’s voice was loud enough for all to hear his sarcasm, “Who is the man who got you so wrapped up.”

Kole started patiently at her. While she was still trying to gather her words. Nathan didn’t look as impressed as the others, in actual fact, he was more annoyed than anything, but kept quiet and waited patiently like the others.

They all had a death in their eyes, all hidden with secrets, but Kole had dark ones. He was suddenly pushed across the kitchen floor by an eye-catching bright light.

Nathan jumped to his feet, Calub already there helping Kole up. His glass now shattered in tiny bits across the black tiled floor, with the liquid splashed onto the cabinets and walls. Clare could smell the brandy, a small piece of the glass cut her hand. She looked at the blood as her wound healed, she then lifted her head. Kalbreal stood in front of Kole, his face and body ablaze in orange and red flames with high watts of light shining through it. Clare compared it to the sun at its highest peak, because she knew that he was not in his true form. An angel's true form would be with his wings, the house itself would disintegrate with that much heat.

Clare was a bit surprised that she didn’t disintegrate by looking at him as she had been led to believe she would at the bayou.

Tash standing next to Clare remarked playfully, “Well we all know who you have wrapped around your finger after all little sister."

Clare couldn’t hold the blush in her cheeks from showing, maybe it was out of relief, “You are going to have to take some getting use to Tash.”

Her attention swung full-on to Nathan, he was shouting at them, “She is still a kid Kalbreal, come on, it's normal to lash out and leave.”

Kalbreal pushed him, “He crossed the line, stay out of this Nathan.”

Kole got up, “Kal, calm down she’s fine, what in the realms is wrong with you.”
