Prologue

The building shook like a never-ending earthquake, but I knew never to mistake these tremors for an earthquake, this was the Keeper of Soul’s doing. He was here, the demon who took my child; he would pay, and I would be the one to make him do it.

I looked to my side and saw my beautiful wife, and normally, my thoughts would go straight to her beauty, but her precious face was pinched with worry and fear. She was freaking out, but it was not just her. We were all freaking out, even me, but I refused to show it. “Baby, it will be fine!” I shouted as the building shook. I tried to summon some of my source, but the shield that the Keeper of Souls was using was blocking my power. “We will get her back and safe!” I promised her.

Uriel looked fierce as he stood by my side, and I looked down at my beloved Gabrella.

“What will we do?” she cried, and the building shook roughly again. We all slightly spread our wings for balance, and I looked at Uriel.

“Go,” I barked roughly. “Find her!” I told him.

Uriel’s sharp green eyes bore into mine. “I will never stop looking until your little girl is back here, in your arms.” And then, he spread his wings and blasted himself into the air and out the door. I could trust him, it was not he who told the traitor about the baby, and he proved it.

“Michael,” Gabrella cried my name, “what are we going to do! She will never be safe here. They will never stop, she is the most powerful being alive.”

I held her smaller hand in mine. “You are right, she will never be safe. We brought her into this mess, and they may have taken her.” I clenched my hand when they started to shake from anger, they took her right from me, I held her once, and she was gone. “But we will do whatever it takes, until our little girl is back here in our arms.” I paused and said the words I never would have even thought of before, “Even if that means becoming a fallen.”

She squeezed my hand tighter. “You promise?”

“Yes,” I said without a doubt, “We will find our Bella Grace.”
