House Of Legions (The Angel Descendants book 1)

Chapter 34 (Liam)

The night in Khiron was a bustle of chaos, Liam had done almost everything he could to stay unnoticed, keeping his distance by staying across the bayou, but Ruzak had other plans.

Sitting on the bench, Liam watched from across the water, the fire crackle and listened to the descendant's gossip, and next to him laid Ruzak. His wings stretched across the ground, head nudging Liam's thigh, but he never complained.

The bird had awaited his presence long enough. Liam, being the only one who was allowed to stroke the wings of Ruzak even if it was done in secret because Casters were forbidden to make such close relationships with the Guiders. Like a stupid rule would stop him from doing what he wanted.

Shaking his head in silent disbelief he stroked Ruzak’s wing, pausing when he heard the sound of grass moving, “Ah, I was wondering when you’ll be joining me.”

A tall woman showed herself, Ruzak snapped his beak, and flew up into the air.

“Not all are pleased, obviously.” A strong, deep feminine voice answered before her face was seen. Some found her voice enchanting. Her body planted next to him, attired in a long light powder blue dress. Platinum hair shined as bright as the shimmers of stars, and eyes black as midnight. She was strikingly beautiful but not shockingly so to Liam’s eyes.

She was different compared to the other Elvan, and he knew her struggles that came with it, “Alexandra.”

When he saw her grim face his voice dropped, “What’s with the hair?”

“The moon ceremony, my mother suggested I blend in with the Elvan and not with the Lightwatcher’s.”

“So she made you dye your hair? Is there no end to her madness, you should consider living with me.”

“Then I would be just one of your mistresses.” She teased.

He couldn’t argue, he had considered it many times in the early years. She was the Elvan Princess and half Lightwatcher, he knew she would’ve made an exceptional distraction, but he also knew he hated their diet, just the thought of it made him pale, but he decided why not amuse her, “The thought did cross my mind.”
