Basically, I had to find a way to accept Azazel if I was ever going to be at my best. I nodded, because now I had a different perspective regarding Azazel. If he was supposed to die, but instead got linked to me, then maybe he was a gift. A wicked, sexy, trifling ass gift, but one nonetheless.
“I understand.”
Darius smiled. “Good.”
“How long do you think it will take for Michael to get answers?” I asked.
“Not long for us, though, time moves differently in Heaven. It might take him weeks or months, but for us that might equate tominutes or hours. They’re immortal, time has no meaning. For humans, our time has limits.”
“Except for Guardians.” We were immortal.
He nodded. “And we are only six remaining. But though we are immortal, those who we protect are not, so time is always of the essence.”
“About Veronica, can you help her… I don’t know… forget what happened?” I asked, thinking about that poor child.
Darius nodded. “I will make sure she is taken care of.”
I nodded because that was good enough for me, then suddenly, I had a question. “Something has me curious and I hope you don’t mind me asking.”
Darius’s brow creased ever so slightly. “What?”
“You and Michael... what’s going on there?”
Darius laughed then. “Exactly what you’re thinking.”
My eyes widened. “But how? He has no dick or hole?”
“He has a mouth.”
“Oooh, my God!” I burst out laughing and threw my legs up because the thought of any Archangel getting down and dirty with their Guardian blew my mind. I had wondered if that was true and it was confirmed.
“This conversation doesn’t leave this room,” Darius warned as he pointed at me.
I waved my hand. “I swear, I swear, I won’t tell a soul.”
“Not even Azazel.”
“I bet he already knows. He’s old enough.”
“Hey may suspect, but his only interactions with angels and Archangels have been to battle,” Darius said.
I sighed, wiped my eyes from the tears after laughing so hard, but nodded. “Yeah, you’re right.”
Before we could continue the conversation, Michael appeared and this time, I did jump and yelp. And his ass smiled in satisfaction before turning to face Darius. “It took a lotof investigating, but apparently, six demons, freshly turned, assaulted six women all over the world in hopes that a child would be born that was half human, half demon. This happened over two thousand years ago before your time, Darius. Those children were slayed by the Guardians, their mothers too. As far as we know, nothing like that has happened since then, but perhaps the demons believe one of those children survived and their offspring still carries the demonic link.”
“Freshly turned?” I asked and looked at Darius.
“Human souls who were recently sent to Hell and made lower-level demons,” Darius explained.
“It was believed among the demons that they held some human essence still, enough to be successful in impregnating the women, and they were,” Michael said.
Darius ran a finger over his bottom lip. “Could the Guardians have missed one?”
“Impossible,” Michael said, as if he was offended that Darius would assume a Guardian could make such a mistake.
“Why is that impossible?” I asked.
“Six demons impregnated six women. All six died with their unborn children,” Michael said.
