Chapter 8

Samael

A crowd had assembled around the two SLR Mercedes, parked out the front of my building. I couldn't help my chuckle when Ezrael walked up to the black one parked infront and bent down and kissed the windscreen.

Someone behind me cleared their throat and I turned around to see Richard from the marketing department.

"Mr Lambert" he said.

"Richard." I replied.

"I hate to impose but may I ask if they're yours?" asked Richard, looking over the two cars.

"No, not mine. But I know the owners well. Do you like cars?" I asked.

"Mr Lambert these are not just cars, they're SLR Mercedes McLarens. I've only even seen pictures, they are not only fast but a true piece of art." replied Richard and I realized even though Ezrael was now lifting her trunk to place her bag inside Richard never once ogled her like the other men in the office did. He was truly more fascinated by the cars.

"Would you like a closer look?" I asked.

"Oh god yes." said Richard almost exploding out of his skin.

I called Ezrael over. She looked at me questionably but shut the trunk and came over to stand in front of me.

"Rae, please allow me to introduce you to Richard. He works for me in marketing. He seems to be a great admirer of your car, is it possible for him to have a closer look?" I asked.

Instantly Ezrael's mood changed, a breath taking smile dressed her face as she turned to Richard and to my delight she spoke to him.

"Does she not take your breath away? But if you like her you should see my Bugatti Veyron super sport. That little lady makes me tremble. Still to this day she humbles me with her beauty." said Ezrael.

"Bullshit." said Richard looking like he was about to pass out.

Suddenly Richard's gaze shot to me and he looked horrified that he'd spoken in such a manor. I put the poor man at ease by giving him a wink, patting his back.

"Would you like me to take you around the block, so you can have a feel of her." said Ezrael.

Instead of replying Richard looked at me and I simply raised my hands in the air, letting him know it was his choice. I don't think I have ever seen a human so excited. Ezrael lifted the car door and most of the crowd let out an AH, as Richard climbed in.

Azrael, Flint and Erik stood beside me as Ezrael climbed into her car and started the engine. I wasn't ready for the throaty rumble, the car really did sound amazing.

"I hope you're paying attention Samael." said Erik

"Excuse me?" I asked not sure what he meant.

"Fast Cars and Bikes, they're one of Rae's soft spots, Ocean gave her one taste and she was hooked." said Erik as Ezrael put the car into gear and flew out into traffic causing me to gasp at the skilful ways she manoeuvred the vehicle.

I had never really been into cars and bikes. I made a mental note to pull Michael aside the next time I saw him and get as much information as I could. The sound of a roaring engine and screeching tires had the crowd spinning on their heels to see the SLR drift around the corner and straighten before it came to a stop infront of the building once again.

The drivers side door lifted up and Ezrael climbed out buzzing with joy. She left Richard in the car and strode directly over to me. Without warning she wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me deeply, my body reached automatically as my hands gripped her waist lifting her so she could wrap her long legs around me and I was able to press her hard against my body. All to soon Ezrael pulled back from the kiss and looked into my eyes.

"I'm still very angry with you, but I have idea as to how I'm going to begin your punishment." said Ezrael.

"And how are you going to do that?" I asked as I lifted my right hand and gripped the back of her neck titling her head as I kissed her neck.

"Tonight, I am going to make love to Azrael and you are going to watch." she purred quietly.

I pulled back staring into her eyes, two emotions crushed down on me. Firstly, a mind splitting lust that pulled all the air from my lungs. How could the idea of watching Azrael and Ezrael be so overwhelming? Secondly dread at the idea of not being about to touch her.

"I am going to give my body over to him and allow him to do any number of things to me and all the while you are just going to sit back and watch unable to join us." she said watching me closely.

"Why?" I asked.

"I know the idea of watching excites you, but I also want you to feel as I feel. When I look at you now all I see is all the woman you have let touch you, while I waited." said Ezrael as her smiled dropped.

"Angel I didn't know you existed, I'm so sorry." I said, as I lowered my head into her shoulder.

"Samael, I didn't know if you'd ever find me but I waited. I have been told I'm pretty and I've had a few admirers, but I waited for you all the same." replied Ezrael as she brushed her hand through my hair.

"You are far from pretty my beauty, you are stunning. I struggle not to rip the eyes from every man that looks at you because they want what is mine, you are everything. I will do anything to make you see you're not the mistake you think you are, you are mine and I love you." I replied.

Ezrael unwrapped her legs and I lowered her to the ground but kept her close, as we moved towards her car.

Richard opened the door and smiled at Ezrael. Azrael moved to stand beside us and I watched Richard's smile falter as he took in my brother. Within Azrael's handsome face was the glare of death, but when Ezrael bumped her hips against his, his face softened and he gave her a soft smile.

"Thank you." he said out of no where.

"For what?" asked Ezrael as the three of us watched Richard climb from the car.

"That." said Azrael as he pointed up to the sun.

Ezrael turned toward Azrael and the pair stared at each other. This must be a very emotional day for Azrael. For two and a half thousand years he has been in darkness and now thanks to Ezrael he was standing under the bright rays of the afternoon sun.

Someone called my name behind us and I turned to see Stanton lighting a cigarette, I coughed as I turned back and watched Richard roll his eyes.

"Watch that slimy bastard Mr Lambert, he's not just looking at the car." said Richard as he thanked Ezrael for the ride.

What Richard didn't realize was he was about to get one hell of a promotion. Ezrael grabbed his arm before he could walk off, glancing over to Stanton before she returned her gaze to Richard's.

"Get my details from Jason and when you're free come over and I'll let you take the Veyron for a run, she's been locked up too long." said Ezrael.

Her laughter was magnificent as Richard grabbed her around the waist and lifted her into the air, spinning her.

"Your a very lucky man Mr Lambert." said Richard as he lowered Ezrael and extended his hand to mine.

"That I am." I replied as I shook his hand.

Stanton came forward as Richard said his farewell and promise to see Ezrael soon.

"How much did these cost you Lambert?" said Stanton as he looked over the cars and then lustily over Ezrael.

"I have absolutely no idea, Stanton, they're not mine." I replied hardening my voice to make sure he was reminded who was the boss around here.

"Got her own money then?" said Stanton.

"You have no idea." said Flint as he gave Ezrael a nod, I could tell from his body language he liked Stanton about as much as I did.

"Az you want to drive?" said Ezrael as she turned to face me.

"My jet will be ready and waiting for you to arrive, we'll collect everybody and meet you at SEA-TAC. I'll have Sawyer contact Jason with the gate details." said Ezrael as she leant up on tippy toes and nipped my bottom lip.

"Until tonight Samael" she continued within my mind.

I watched opened mouthed as she climbed into the passenger seat and the two cars pulled away from the curb and into traffic.

Four hours later, my limo was pulling up into a SEA-TAC at one of the rear entrances. I climbed out taking in the purple and grey G550 Golf Stream. Azrael stood at the bottom of the stairs with Uriel looking irritated. I approached the pair while Jason brought my luggage over.

"Everything ok?" I asked.

"Perfect except for Ezrael's and Flint's friends." snapped Azrael.

"Hey, don't be like that, there nothing going on between them." laughed Uriel.

Before I could enquire further, Gabriel popped his head out and shouted for us to get our arses on board. I gave Jason a farewell nod and climbed the stairs. I didn't see Ezrael or Erik as I took in the occupants, but Jen noticed me looking around and pointed towards the cockpit, I popped my head in and found Ezrael behind the controls of the plane with Michael looking over her shoulder while she went through pre-flight checks, to her right sat Erik while he communicated with the flight control.

"Hey." I said.

"Samael." purred Ezrael.

"Ok boys time for you to strap yourselves in and get ready for the ride of your lives. We're making a quick exit to get a slot between commercial air traffic." said Erik as he motioned for us to head back into the main cabin.

I took a seat next to Flint and cross from us sat Jennifer and a well build brunette male, in his mid to late twenties. The pair were in deep discussion about skis versus snow boards. I quickly looked over to find Gabriel sitting next to a similarly built red head male, but this guy was easily late thirties and he too was engrossed in conversation with my brother.

"Here." said Flint as he passed me a pair of ear plugs.

My brow creased in confusion, but I notice Michael, Azrael, Uriel, Eleanore, Gabriel, Flint and red head putting ear plugs in. All of a sudden their need was obvious. Over the sound system came Starship by Nikki Minaj louder than I thought possible. The plane lurched forward as Matthew checked the cabin door and banged on the side wall next to the cockpit giving them the ok sign. He took a seat next to his wife and the plane taxied out onto the runway, the music dulled for a second and I heard muffled voices from Erik and Ezrael due to the cockpit door remaining open, then with an ear splitting boom the music returned and the plane shot down the runway, like a bullet from a gun. Five minutes later we had levelled out and the music was lowered so we could talk within the cabin, Erik came over the intercom letting us know we'd be airborne for only one hour and forty minutes. We all settled back and enjoyed the flight, thirty minutes in Ezrael emerged from the cockpit, giving me a smile as she walked over to the red head talking with Gab, he unbuckled his seat belt and the pair hugged looking delighted to see each other.

"It has been to long old friend." said Ezrael, shocking Uriel, Eleanore and Michael,that she'd spoken aloud.

"You call we come running, but Aspen? Talk about La De Da, how you been kid?" said the red head as he took his seat.

I watched Gab chuckle as Ezrael swatted his hand off his lap and sat on his knee to talk to the red head.

"I can move if you like." said Gabriel still chucking.

"No need, I don't think you'll want Erik flying alone too long, with him not having a pilot's license and all that." said Ezrael seriously.

All of a sudden the plane lurched to the left, Gabriel grabbed at Ezrael as she stumbled and Eleanore's scream filled the cabin. But she fell silent when Flint, Matthew, the brunette and the red head joined with Ezrael as she laugh so hard she tumbled back against Gabriel chest.

"Not fucking funny." Roared Gabriel as he wrapped his arms around Ezrael squeezing her, before he too joined them in their amusement. My own smile grew as Ezrael pulled one of Gabriel's arms up and used his sleeve to wipe away her tears of laughter, but my smile dropped a little when I noticed they to were blood tears. There was so much about her that was a mystery to me.

Gabriel mumbled 'great' as he saw the blood stain on his sleeve and swatted at Ezrael's arse as she climbed off his lap and headed back to the cockpit, chuckling with Erik that his timing was perfect.

"Flint, who are the other two men joining us?" I asked.

"The red head is Cary and the brunette is Gideon, we've know them a while. Matthew and Grace are now part of their pack since joining us." said Flint.

"Pack." I asked.

"They're wolves, they run in packs." said Flint a little shocked at my question.

"What?" I chocked.

Flint all of a sudden looked like he'd said something he shouldn't have. He looked over to Matthew and he just shrugged.

"So Rae hasn't said anything to you about the Sawyers?" asked Flint.

"Does it sound like she's said something to me?" I asked.

What the fuck was Ezrael doing hanging around with wolves? I knew of their existence but I'd never seen one in all my time on earth. They were a very secretive race. I still wondered what was going through The Father's mind when he created them.

At the word werewolves, Azrael raised from his seat and came to squat over next to Flint and I.

"I know she going to rip me a new one but I think it's time you two got to understand Ezrael a little better, now that you two are going to be spending so much time with her and in turn all of us." said Flint, as he waved his hand around the cabin.

"Both of them?" asked Gabriel, leaning over the isle.

"Hey you watch yourself, now that Ezrael's blood is flowing through Jen's body. Trust me she's going to have desires you're going to have to deal with, Ocean saved Ezrael but mixing their blood, freaky crap." said Flint as he shivered.

Gabriel rose from his seat and gave the brunette next to Jennifer a nod to tell him to swap seats with him. Flint waited while the wolf gave a shrug and moved to sit next to his pack mate.

"You have my undivided attention, which one of you is going to explain the blood, Ocean and well fucking all this shit that going on?" asked Gabriel, looking between Flint and Jennifer.

"Rae's not going to be happy about this." said Jennifer, as she motion for Flint to tell the story.

"Do you remember the night Ezrael saved Jen?" asked Flint.

We all nodded, but Az's reaction showed that night still haunted him.

"What you may not know is, Jen died that night." said Flint looking sweetly at Jennifer.

Gabriel's body froze and he looked over to Jennifer, panic filling his eyes.

"You died?" whispered Gabriel, pulling Jennifer from her seat and wrapping her in his arms.

"Hey, it's ok. One of the Adarians fired a shard and it hit me in the head." said Jennifer, shrugging like it was nothing for Gab to worry about.

"It's the reason Ezrael and Jen are so close, Ocean brought her back; creating a connection between Ezrael and Jen. I don't know the specifics, but it kind of like what Michael can do when he heals people, but fuck load more. The upside is, it's softened Ezrael a little." said Flint, leaning forward and squeezed Jennifer's knee while she snuggled into Gabriel's lap.

"It's why, I have to be around Ez. I feel empty when we're apart for too long." said Jen, looking up at Gabriel hoping this explained something to him.

"Hush." said Gab, as he squeezed Jen tighter, still trying to deal with the fact he may have lost her if it wasn't for Ezrael and Aurora.

"Samael, do you remember Saltine." asked Flint.

"Who?" I asked.

"Sorry, Pepper." chuckled Flint.

"The little girl that looks like Michael." I asked.

"There's a res….." Flint was unable to continue. Ezrael, roared 'DON'T' as she stood in the doorway of the cockpit, her gaze on Flint was unreadable. We all watched as Flint rose from his seat and approached Ezrael, stopping in front of her cupping her face.

"They need to know." he said.

"Please don't do this." she whispered as she looked up into his eyes.

"He needs to know, Ocean will understand." said Flint.

Ezrael's softness vanished and she pulled away, as her eyes darkened.

"They don't need to know a fucking thing and Ocean will say when it's ok not you." snapped Ezrael.

"Don't fucking swear at me Rae and Pepper's not Just yours, she ours and don't you forget that. I love her just as much as you and Ocean would never let anything happen to her you know that." snapped back Flint.

Ezrael's eyes lowered and she whispered 'ours' before she looked back up to Flint, her eyes pleading.

"Don't look at me like that, you know I can't resist those eyes. Fine, my lips are sealed." said Flint as he bent down and gently kissed Ezrael on the lips.

"I need you all to take you seats we're about to land." whispered Ezrael, looking one more time at Flint before she turned back into the cockpit.

We all watched Flint as he took his seat again but no one uttered a word, twenty minutes later we were disembarking the plane to load into two white SUV's that were parked next to the plane. Again, we all sat in silence as Matthew and Flint drove us to our accomodations.

I was waiting for an opportunity, to get Ezrael alone but she seemed to make sure she was always busy as we arrived at the chalet. Before I knew what was happening Ezrael was walking away from the house with the two wolves and Flint and the four of them were carrying snowboards.

"Do I get an invite?" I yelled as I walked towards them.

"You board?" asked Cary.

"No, but Uriel and I aren't that bad on the skis." I said, looking over to Ezrael.

Since she'd caught Flint revealing information to us, she closed down again.

"Powder looks great, the more the merrier." said Flint.

It was about ten o'clock when the six of us returned to the chalet, Uriel was beaming from his race with Gideon. For wolves these guy weren't to bad. We found the rest of our group sitting around the fire in the main room.

"Looks like you had fun." said Eleanore as she dusted snow from Uriel's hair.

"Tomorrow you'll have to come, this place is amazing." replied Uriel.

"I can barely put one foot in front of the other without tripping and you want me to put skis on." laughed Eleanore.

"Point made, I think it's hot chocolate and window gazing for you Hun." chuckled Uriel.

"We have a couple of snowmobiles." said Erik, which of course got Michael's attention.

Ezrael stalked around the room and came to a stop next to the fire running her hand threw the flames making it bend and twirl with the movement of her fingers.

"Will I ever be able to do that?" asked Jennifer, as she climbed from her chair to stand next to Ezrael.

"No, just another bent ability to go with my dark heartless soul." whispered Ezrael as she looked into the fire.

"Hey." said Jennifer, grabbing Ezrael's hand before she could put it back into the fire.

"Stop this, we're here to have fun and I won't have you talking about yourself like this. I may not be all that, but I can bet you wouldn't hurt me if I attacked, giving me the upper hand." said Jennifer, a little smugly.

"True." said Ezrael, letting a smile dress her beautiful face, but that small smile bloomed into a huge one when five figures came striding through the front door, startling us all.

"Interesting company your keeping." said a larger than life tall blonde male. There was no way this guy was human and since Aurora was one of our new guests, I didn't even want to guess as to his origins

"Viking." bellowed Flint as he rose from his seat and the pair clamped hands pulling each other in for a slight embrace.

Ezrael beamed as she walked over to a blonde woman and the pair hugged like they were very close friends.

"Sookie it has been too long, how are the boys? Are they here?" asked Ezrael looking over the groups shoulders.

"They're wonderful, a handful but wonderful. They're visiting with Aurora's father with Pepper. You know how she loves the palace, being a princess and all." giggled the blonde woman, her thick southern accent was amusing to listen to.

"Are we going to get introductions?" asked a tall Angelic looking man with familiar tawny eyes, who stood extremely close to Aurora looking over us cautiously.

"Aurora, Stark, Preston, Eric and Sookie. Please allow me to introduce you to Samael, Azrael, Uriel, Gabriel, Michael, Jennifer and Eleanore. And you already know Gideon, Cary, Matthew, Grace, Flint and Erik." said Ezrael, point each one of us out as she said our name. Unfortunately, she didn't do the same with the new comers, so I had no idea, what name went with who, except for Aurora.

"So these are your realms Arch's." asked the tawny eyed male.

"You say it like you disapprove." asked Michael as he stood, looking directly at the tawny eyes male.

"I was hoping for more, all things considering." said the male and he and the other tall brunette chuckled.

"Considering what." snapped Uriel as he shot to his feet.

"I'm getting a headache, Ezrael what's going on?" said the tawny eyed male.

"Stark, I haven't exactly told them what you guys are yet or where you're from." said Ezrael looking a little embarrassed.

"Oh this is going to be good." said Aurora as she strode into the room and took a seat on one of the empty chairs. We all fell silent as this Stark and the brunette followed her into the room and stood behind her. The tall blonde and the southern girl leant up against the wall looking as amused as their friends.

Ezrael looked over to Flint and Erik, with pleading eyes and the pair rose and went to stand beside her.

"Ok, I'm going to do this quickly and to the point, I ask that you leave your questions until I've finished." said Flint looking around the room.

Aurora and the southern girl giggled at Flint, but it was the look on the tall blondes face that had me intrigued, he seem bored.

"Aurora, Stark, Preston, Eric and Sookie are not from this earth as you know it, think of it as another realm like The Fathers. In their reality, supernaturals like ourselves are known to the humans. There Vampires, shifters and werewolves are in the public eye. But in the case of Aurora, Stark and Preston their true natures are still hidden. Stark is the last of his kind in their reality. He is an Arch, but an Arch much much older then yourselves, older than even the Adarians. Preston in Fae, but an ancient blood line that's mostly extinct. Sookie is a normal Fae but a hybrid. Eric's a Viking Vampire, old and powerful. Aurora." paused Flint as he looked over to the woman in question.

"Aurora's a goddess." he finished, looking around the room for our reaction.

We all fell silent. What can you say when someone tells you you're sitting in a room with supernaturals from another world and one just happened to be a godbess? I'll tell you what, fucking nothing.

The silence was broken when Gabriel shot to his feet shouting 'BULLSHIT', this didn't have the reaction I'm sure he was hoping for. Aurora and the two males standing behind her burst into laughter.

Aurora rose from her seat and the three separated, just before wings and fangs exploded between the three of them making them look truly out of this world, they were definitely more then we were.

"Your turn." said Aurora, looking over to the southern girl and the tall bored blonde.

Both extended their fangs, the male snarled and the southern girl raised her hand to let us see a ball of light appear from nothing.

"So you two are?" I asked looking over to the winged males standing with Aurora.

Stark raised his hand and said 'Arch' and that was followed by the other male saying 'Preston, Fae' before I could continue, the southern girl raised her hand and said 'Sookie, Fae- Vampire Hybrid and this is my husband, Eric. Viking Vampire'

"And you all know about us how?" I asked.

"Mostly Ezrael, but we are more in tune with other supes than yourselves. We'd know you're in the area just by scent and your energy." replied Aurora.

"And you're a god?" asked Azrael.

"Goddess, yes one of the last two death dealers." she replied.

"Hold on, I've heard of death dealers. The Father spoke of them once?" said Uriel.

"I'm sure he did, considering I almost ended his life once and he's the second death dealer." giggle Aurora.

The five of us shot to our feet, Michael, Uriel, Gabriel, Azrael and myself. I had my differences with our Father but like my brothers, I was not going to have anyone talk ill of him.

We all froze when Aurora's wings burst into flames and she stepped towards us.

"Do we have a problem boys?" she purred.
