House Of Legions (The Angel Descendants book 1)

Clare never considered them so close, a Caster and an Angel, together, sitting under the same sky. Different blood, but still brothers in a way, and there she was, guilt filling inside her. What had she done, kissing Kole? She couldn’t understand his resilience before, but now it stood as clear as the setting sun behind the two men. She’d called him a mere distraction and kissed him, never thinking about Kalbreal and the implications of her actions. She now understood it, realizing what he had to lose.

Clare spotted Nathan and the others further down surrounding a tree. She stepped out from the one she hid behind to face the both of them, Caster and Angel staring at her. Seeing Kole, his eyes unfolding everything she needed to know, as he turned his tormented face away.

She looked at Kalbreal, not knowing how to see him anymore, because at that moment, in front of her, sat a guy, in love with a girl, with the hope that she loved him too. But Clare knew, she, who he loved, loved another. Was it infatuation? she wouldn’t know, not until she faced the unknown stranger- William, whom her freshly wounded heart secretly desired.

All Clare knew at that moment was that she had definitely caught the eye of the handsome Angel and Kole’s reasons for choosing to deny her. She didn’t fault him. She knew in her heart, walking towards them, sitting silently next to Kalbreal, that she herself couldn’t bear to lose her Angel.

The others joined them, on the floor, Calub sitting between her legs, his arms resting on her knees. The white-haired girl sat next to Clare, breaking the ice, “I’m Safira Starcrest, Nathans lover.”

Clare put her arm around her, “I’m Clare, the sister, are you Elvan.”

Nathan shouted in Safira’s face, “I told you.” back to his cheerful self, he laid flat in between Safira’s legs, “Sister-sister, she’s a Lightwatcher, I told her not to dye her hair, Elvan wannabe.”

Tash yelled, “It’s better than the blue.” They all laughed, except Clare who just smiled, not knowing the joke, shared amongst them.

Phillip walked toward them, she didn’t know where he had disappeared to, “I’m sorry Clare, I was a dick.”

She bent her head back and lifted her hands, gesturing that he should hug her, which he did. Everybody started jumping on top of them besides Kalbreal and Kole. Kole got up and smiled, walking slowly to the door, leaving the others hugging and laughing.

Calub was screaming, “Get off, you guys are suffocating me,” still stuck under the lot.
