That conversation wouldn’t end any place good. I was grateful when Alex hadn’t followed her. Lea stood her ground for a few more seconds, but then stormed out of the r oom. “I think that’s enough for today,” Marcus interjected. No one should have to face what Alex had and would have to. Putting Alex once again in a situation where she’d have to hurt-to kill someone she loved wasn’t fair. How is this any different?”Īlex recoiled like she’d been slapped. “You loved her, but you did the right thing. “But you knew she needed to… needed to be stopped,” she rushed on before I could silence her. Bringing up Alex’s mom was going way too far. “ You loved her even after she became a daimon.” “ You loved your mom, right? ” Lea asked, her hands trembling. Pain lit up my chest, and I wanted nothing more to back her up, but I couldn’t on this.

“I know that, but…” Alex’s gaze fell to the cake. Lea’s lips thinned, and I moved closer to Alex. Lucian has warped his mind.” She paused, taking a deep breath. “He killed my sister, Alex! He killed those Council members.” As much as I hated to admit it or even acknowledge the fact, there was a bond between the two that even I feared I could not always breach. As an Apollyon, you will be able to.”Īlex paled, and I knew the idea of killing Seth horrified her. “What?” demanded Alex, her voice pitching in horror.Īpollo turned back to the window. By far, it was the smartest thing the god had ever said, but… Hearing Apollo say Seth needed to die made me want to hug the guy. Exclusive: The last chapter of Deity in Aiden’s POV
