House Of Legions (The Angel Descendants book 1)

Jullie ran from behind Liam and hugged Kalbreal, who again had no shirt on. His body covered in circular pieces of drawings, in the middle of the circles were letters written in beautiful Angelic designs of burnt orange and black specks around it.

Kalbreal lifted Jullie with a genuine laugh in his vocal cords, “What, Australia isn’t doing it for you already.” Broad shoulders flexed, as he swung Jullie around. He was almost as tall as Liam but bulkier in his built, and an arrogant ass, who got under Liam’s skin, and they say Angels aren’t conceited. He just hoped the Angel kept his tools away from Clare, because Liam’s generosity to Kalbreal only stretched so far, and Clare was beyond a hard limit- untouchable.

Which got him thinking of Calub, it had been days since they’d spoken. A thought of what his friend would say about Kalbreal shirtless and holding Jullie was enough to make anybody smile, especially since Calub had claimed Jullie. His sister thought Calub was another notch in her bed, she was going to be pissed when she found out just how wrong she was.

She got down and touched Kalbreal’s chest, where one of the sketched drawings had been slashed across. It was the only full black marking with an orange diagonal cut down the middle.

Jullie whispered, “Not the same without my three boys.” She couldn't hide the sadness in her eyes, which always got to Liam. But the reason behind it got to him more, his Jullie wanted a family of her own, she wanted kids. Unfortunately, it just wasn't happening.

Moving to Australia to stay with Calub while he trained was Liam’s suggestion. She was only back because Liam had asked her too. She had been running in circles with him and for him since she arrived, but he knew she wanted to be with Calub, as much as she fought it’ his sister always held her heart on her sleeves. He’d treat her with a new car when this was done, and maybe another boat, if she behaves, just the thought of spoiling his sister made him feel better. Jullie loved her presents from her eldest brother.

Liam looked at Kalbreal’s chest and the scar Jullie’s fingers brushed, knowing exactly what it meant to have your abilities weakened. Luckily he wasn’t an Angel, but a part of him dare crossed the thought to his mind, instead he brushed it off with a question to his sister, “Jullie did you find it?”

“No, but I was picking up something of Tempter origin in this place, what happened?”

“Franchesca Draiken is now deceased,” Kalbreal answered, slipping on a t-shirt, how convenient, “killed by Barbatos, the others should be in the realm by now, preparing for the moon ceremony. I came back to see if there was anything I should take Clarebella.”

Liam touched at his pocket, the phone, her phone, he almost slipped it out, but decided to hang on to it instead, keeping his hand in his pocket, “Such a sweet boy,” Liam said dryly.
