dropped my hand from his face when I saw the others, and now used it to pat myself. Nope. No holes, no cuts, but when I reached my stomach, I winced. Melissa's hands were immediately on me and lifted my leather top.
“Christ Kas, look at that!” she complained.
I really wanted to look but between her, Maia and the others, I couldn't.
“I have had worse and you know it,” I snapped at her.
Her eyes locked onto mine, “Don't you dare.”
I rolled my eyes and lay back on the bed. Chax moved out of their way and stood against the wall. His eyes were on me and his skin had a pale, ashen complexion. I gave him my best smile, hoping to elicit his famous pissed off look that I had grown to expect. I didn't get it.
What? Is he getting all sissy on me?
I remembered him surrounded by the demons. He had more demons on him than any other Fallen.

“They targeted you, didn't they? They know what you are to me,” I stated.
He frowned and nodded.
“They know that you are my mate, I am certain of that. The attack was precisely calculated.”
That could mean only one thing. Someone had told them.
“Luxuria?” I asked. He shook his head.
“No, she was trying to help me, but shifted out when she thought you were losing the battle. It must be someone else.”
Yeah, it must be the damn traitorous Fallen walking around Exsilium!
I didn't voice the obvious; by the look on his face we had come to the same conclusion.
“There, all patched up,” Maia said, breaking our silent conversation.
I looked down as soon as Maia and Melissa moved away.
“You cut my leathers?” I moaned, looking at the slash in them.
“Shut it, Kas,” Melissa snarled at me, walking over to the bathroom.
Amon stood in the doorway smiling at me.
“Hey, you. Finally felt the need to come and say hi to me?” I taunted him.
“You're driving her insane, and it’s not good considering her condition.” I frowned at the last word.
“I don't have a condition!” Melissa snapped back.
My eyebrows lifted in a silent question. He peeked at the bathroom and when he was satisfied, he drew an invisible circle in front of his stomach.
Oh my freaking soul!
Melissa came flying out of the bathroom, “You did not just do that, did you?!”
Oh boy! This hormonal thing wasn’t for her.
Amon pressed his back against the wall and tried his best to look innocent.
“Argh! I'm going home.” Melissa turned and pointed at me, “Don't you dare end up like that again.”
Poof, and she was gone. My jaw hung open from shock and confusion. I looked at Amon who sighed, nodded at us, and then shifted out.
“Holy crap, she is crazy.” It slipped out.
I had forgotten that the room was still full of people and everyone had just witnessed that. Ariel laughed and came to sit on the bed.
“Kasadya, what happened out there?” Her eyes searched mine, but I looked away.
Fixing my gaze on Chax, I tried to think of a good lie. I wasn't ready to admit that I was starting to care for him.
“The prince had me wrapped up in some sort of invisible cocoon. My hellhound didn't like it so...” Chax frowned at me, but didn't voice his opinion.
“I see. Well, let's give you some time to get some rest. There will be no battles today.” Ariel’s eyes landed on Chax, whose face was set and fierce.
“Okay,” I replied, not certain what had occurred between them.
Everyone said their goodbyes and left. Chax was the last to leave. When he reached the door, I decided to take a leap of fate.
“I won’t be able to complete the divinity in time. We need to think of another way to win the battle that is coming. Ballen is going to use four priests to open the wall.” He stopped and turned to look at me, a frown on his face.
“How do you know this?” He closed the door and waited for me to reply.
“When I passed out there was this child that showed me the battle. Today he told me that I wouldn’t be able to complete the divinity
