House Of Legions (The Angel Descendants book 1)

Nadia stood there not saying anything, which grew on Clare’s nerves, not only was her leg in pain, but now she was probably going to have to play peacekeeper by the way the two exchanged looks.

Nikolai blurted out, “Oh for the sake of time, she had sex with Caidrian and paid me to help him forget, sorted, now change, let’s go.”

Clare dropped the bag on the floor, ”WHAT?” Her jaw fell, she hadn’t expected this, “YOU SLEPT WITH MY DAD?”,

Clare grabbed her hair and tied it up then started taking her clothes off quickly without thinking that Nikolai was still there.

He turned his back to her, she saw it and smiled at his action, other guys would have looked. His eyes staring seriously into the sky, like his years on the earth had sucked all his life source away, tainted by agelessness.

Clare shouted at Nadia, she was furious, “I could just KILL you Nadia, but right now I’m just going to pretend that I didn’t hear any of this.” She gave Nadia one last grave look, “I’m done, let’s go.”

Nadia thinned her lips, and flared her nose, “Will he be joining us tomorrow?” she said pointing at Nikolai,

Clare replied, “No, he is just a drunk like you said.”

He cleared his throat without facing them.

She looked at Nikolai when he yelled loud enough for Clare to hear him “Let me fix your leg.”

There was silence between the three of them, the stillness of the night and the sparks of light glimmering between their vision. The stars sparkling, unaffected by the intense circumstances which lay before Clare, like the diamonds they were. Clare inhaled deeply, taking in the air, the pain was bearable. Clare knew it would heal, but hidden in her, was the need to have someone care for her. It made her nervous when a person showed any interest in her, but now it was worse, probably her hormones, she thought carefully before she answered, “Fine, if you want to.”

Nikolai turned to her and walk the distance until he stood in front of her, he stared thoughtfully, “I suppose I am lost for words.”

Nadia answered, “Maybe you were going to tell Clare that she's looking gorgeous.”

“No.” He shook his head, “That’s not it, actually blue, is not your colour Love, and you should remove the bra, straps are vulgar.”
