House Of Legions (The Angel Descendants book 1)

“Franchesca was truly something special, she hated the thought of getting married. Do you know that she was the last of the girls her age to get tied down. I asked her countless of times before, and I loved her, but she could never really be mine, she always belonged to him. I believed she could be persuaded, but now I see she gave her heart to him. It was always him, though in the end she married me, she was never truly mine.”

His gaze hardened, he spun on her, “Firstly you are the last born female, not the last female, secondly, I don’t know why you being attacked purposely by Tempters, that's why we need to get you to Khiron where you safe, so I can find out.” He said walking on, “Your mother did what she could to protect you, but there’s so much we could do without breaking laws girl, even the deceptors have them.”
