A Matter of Time Excerpts
(Kade’s POV)
Churning in my stomach, electricity zipping beneath my skin. Anticipation. The nights of waiting just beneath the surface—touching the rock that separated Earth from Hell—were about to be over.
Lucien smirked as he paraded through the arch of human skulls that made up the gateway like he was some kind of god—which I suppose he was. The son of Lucifer may have kept us waiting for more days than I cared to count, but we’d waited less than the sixty-six days it had taken us to climb up the nine circles. The soot and fatigue that all seven of us waiting Fallen wore wasn’t apparent on his skin. I wondered how that could be, how the long trek from the center of the ninth circle all the way up toward the surface could leave him so untouched.
Those curiosities melted away the second Lucien touched the rock above our heads. His silhouette vibrated, contorting into something both larger and smaller. Earth and rubble crumbled at his touch.
This was it. They weren’t BSing when they said there would be rewards.
Lucien’s voice echoed a language I thought long since dead, and the ceiling above us cracked. The veins stretched, gaining momentum. Slivers of light beamed into Hell. Moments later the whole thing came tumbling down, leaving a hole wide enough for two semis.
The six other Fallen wasted no time, climbing out of Hell and back into the thriving life of Earth. The shaking of the topside tree limbs slowly subsided. The twinkle of honest-to-God stars shone high above them. The wide-eyed grins and moments of crazed satisfaction on my fellow travelers’ faces must have mirrored my own. I watched as they enjoyed the sights, sounds, and smells—all of which were too bright, too loud, and too pungent.
(Rayna’s POV)
The newcomer took one more step into the room. The flickering sconces along the walls didn’t throw out enough of their orange light for me to distinguish anything but the whites of his eyes and bared teeth. He was grinning. “It’s good to see you again, Rayna.”
My poorly gathered tough-detainee demeanor slid off me like the last drops of blood from my healed arm. That voice. Deep, dark, shadowed. It couldn’t be.
Lucien dragged his heavy chair into the center of the room. With its high back and luxurious red velvet cushion, it really was more of a throne. He didn’t take his seat like royalty though; he dropped into it from the side, kicking his legs over one arm. “She’s all yours,” he said. All he needed now was popcorn.
Heavy steps plodded into the room, thunks followed by the eerie rattle of a chain. I kept my eyes low, a risky move since I’d learned down here that it showed weakness. But better weakness than the fear.
“You aren’t glad to see me?”
More footsteps. Growing louder. Until only stained brown boots stood in my eye line. The leather he wore creaked as he leaned in close. Closer. Too close. I shut my eyes.
“Shocking,” he whispered in my ear, his breath blowing my hair back. The last time that voice had whispered in my ear we were on top of the Golden Gate Bridge.
He chuckled, and the chain dragging beside him clattered. In one swing his weapon crushed my shoulder. My bones shattered. The spikes on the ball and chain shredded my skin and bore into the muscle. White-hot pain exploded across my body. My breath wheezed out. He wrenched the cursed weapon from me, and then creaked and rattled away. The chain clanked against metal, probably him throwing it over the weapon rack.
I swore the shaky breath I took next would be my last sign of weakness. At least until this session was over.
“I don’t know why I’m surprised,” I said, opening my eyes. “Of course you’d still be down here. Where else would a Fallen failure with no wings go?”
The wingless Fallen’s back was to me. Lucien, in his throne, quirked a brow and swiveled his head around toward our visitor. The unmistakable sound of the broadsword leaving the rack rang out. My will sank. The Fallen came at me. With his hand on my uninjured shoulder for leverage, I looked into Azriel’s eyes as he ran the sword through my already crumpled shoulder.
