Fallen (Dark in You 7)

Fallen (Dark in You 7) Only a few are brave enough to fall . . . When Raini desperately needed help, she went to the one person who she knew could save her dying friend . . . her secretive and ruthlessly powerful anchor, Maddox. His price was that she grant him access to her life, yet he's still determined not to form the anchor bond with Raini. That rejection stings, even while she can't stop her body - or her demon - reacting to his presence. Maddox is a descendent, a rare breed of demon possessing angelic blood - and Raini knows he'll let someone close when hell freezes over. As a succubus, she's used to men wanting her uncontrollably - and used to having all the power. But while Maddox wants her strictly on his own terms, for the first time she can remember Raini's struggling to keep her own emotions in check. Yet when someone - or something - starts to target Raini, Maddox's protectiveness goes into overdrive. Suddenly he's finding it harder to keep his secrets and his distance, for nothing seems to matter as much as Raini. As the threat escalates into all-out war, they both have to decide: can they trust the other to catch them if they fall?

"Do you think maybe that's why Viper has asked to meet with you?" he asked, referring to the president of the Black Saints— an MC club that popped up out of nowhere six months ago. "Think he wants to make it his business?"

"It's possible. But I don't see why he would. Neither he nor any of his 'brothers' are descendants; they don't even have demonic blood."

"But they are angels who've fallen, much like our ancestors, so we're one of the closest species they have on Earth to their own." Hector twisted his mouth. "I heard a rumor about the president."

"That some believe he's an archangel? One of the infamous Seven?"

Surprise flickered across the sentinel's face. "Yes. Do you think it could be true?"

"Possibly." Maddox crossed to the sofa opposite Hector and sank into it. "If so, he'll be a force to be reckoned with. All the members of the Seven are dangerous."

"If I remember the ancient stories about them rightly, there's Michael, Raphael, Uriel, Gabriel, Samael, Azrael, and Raguel. Which one do you think Viper could be?"

Maddox shrugged. "It's not as if we can contact someone up above and ask who's missing." He drummed his fingers on the armrest. "I'll find out what Viper wants tomorrow during our meeting. Moving on, did you find out who's trying to cause dissension among our lair?"

"From what I can tell, the whispers originated from Euan and Marcella."

Maddox exhaled heavily. "I thought as much."

"Yeah, that was my guess as well. But I was hoping Euan had nothing to do with it, considering he's your cousin. I don't think he truly cares much that Raini isn't a descendant, but others do. He's capitalizing on how uneasy they are that, for the first time in history, a descendant's anchor is a breed other than our own."

Which was why both Maddox and his demon had been utterly shocked to realize that Raini was theirs. Being far too jaded, Maddox had thought himself impervious to such an emotion, but shock had slammed into him hard that night. When his demon snapped out of its stunned state, all it had wanted was to form the bond and leave the anchor mark on the hollow beneath her ear, declaring she belonged to them.

"They don't know what it means, or if it even means anything," Hector went on. "But they are nervous about having Raini around, because she could see things she's not supposed to see."

"She only comes here once a month, and she only ever comes through the side door and then up to my office. Although the window overlooks the dance floor, she can't see the VIP area from here. In any case, I always give the lair advanced notice of her arrival. They know to curb their … activities until she's gone, just to be on the safe side."
