Gabriel snapped away the fake when he felt it. It was the same felling he had when his farther had showed him his gracemates soul. His own grace flared but he contained it quickly as he could in fear his brothers would find him. "Really! Why in your father's name is an Arc angel pretending to be a trickster!" ok not what he thought he would hear. He turned and saw the most beautiful angry woman in the world storming up to him. He looked to her hip and froze. "ok who are you and why do you have my sword." He watched as she stopped and raised a brow. She then drew both swords one was the other was the sword of the cross. Oh, crap is gracemate was a member of the order of the cross and she was her to kill the trickster aka him. "ok one I found this in my room when I was sixteen, I didn't know it was your and two my name is Starla Grace Cross." Oh, she was a spitfire "wait cross, as in the first of the order?" she huffed ad sheathed both swords. "I'm a direct decedent of the north American and Europe outpost. Which you would have known if you didn't just leave out of the blue one night." She crossed her arms over her chest and he stared at it. "Hey up here halo boy." His eyes snapped up then he paused. "how did you know who I was?" "I can see all six of your wings." She surged as if it was nothing, but he dropped his jaw and looked at his own wings. "How" he sputtered like an idiot. She rubbed her forehead then turned and walked away. "you move on the order sent me to kill scout a hunt of a trickster. Ill tell them you were gone when I got here so you need to lay low for a while. I won't kill the founder of the order." He watched as she left but it was then it clicked. He had heard of the assassin of the cross but he never would have thought it would be a woman. more importantly his gracemate. He flew to the roof and searched for the star that was his mate soul and it was gone! She had been born and he didn't even know it. He heard a truck start and saw her in the driver seat. He tried to pop in the truck, but he couldn't. That's when he saw the warding. "smart girl, very smart." She had warding for everything know and even unknow carved deep in her truck. "she must have read the entire library I build." With out even thinking about it he returned to his apartment and packed. He was not going to lose her.

Gabriel stood in the master of the orders office waiting for the man to show. When he finely did, he seemed lost as to who he was. "wait you're the master and you don't know who I am." "that's because he's not the master." Two young men came in and nodded their heads at him. "He is only the commander of the order until are sister take her rightful place as the master." "and speaking of are sister you sent her after a trickster by herself." They were his gracemate brothers and she was to be the master of the cross! "I sent her to scout the hunt nothing more and to which that she failed. It would seem it got away." he raised a brow when one of the brothers looked at his back. "can you see them two?" he nodded "were decedents of two first blood lines and combined we have 13 Nephilim in are blood line." His jaw dropped as he stared at the boys. "who do you think you are telling this out sider such things." "he's Gabriel the arc angel, as in the one who created the order in the first place." The older man studded then palled. "I'm sorry I didn't know." He waved him off. "what can you tell me about your sister. Oh, and she didn't fail with the trickster. it was me." Both boys laughed "oh I bet she tore into you for an hour or two." He laughed "oh she's a spitfire." The older man looked mad as he stormed to his desk well not his but hers, he was just keeping it warm. "she will face the maximum punishment for treating you in such a way." "What!" the boys and himself both yelled at him. "she defied you there for she will be punished." Gabe snapped his fingers and the man turned to dust. He turned to her brother to see their reaction. One was smiling as the other was pouting. "but I wanted to kill him." "oh well hey let's get Rose and plan a surprise promotion party for Star." He just watched as the brother exchanged a look then shook their heads then at the same time spoke "nope she would kill us." "Boy I think we will get along great."

A few days passed, and no one question him on turning the man to dust. Everyone seemed happy. But since he did that, he had to take over on running the order. If it wasn't for Rose, his mates' best friend he would have burned the whole order down a few times by now. When he tried to go to his old room, he found out that it was his mates' room. She had even been born in it! He brothers told him about their family and even how she was named. But what surprised him the most was that her favorite sorry as a child was about the creations of the gracemates. He was sure her brother knew when both told him to give her time. The entire order seems to know the truth but how was he going to tell her with out her killing him and since she had two swords that could he would have to be careful. He was so deep in thought that he didn't hear her come in. "so when I said lay low what did you think I meant?" he fell out of the chair and she laugh. "well I figured you would have gone to the Bahamas and sip on a pinna colada not come here and kill the commander. Which I hear I need to thank you for." She sat on the edge of the desk as he just stayed on the floor. "what can I say you set me straight." She threw her head back as she laughs but then became very serious. "have you spoken to you dad lately?" "no. no one has he left about the same time I did. Why?" she crossed her arms and stared him down "first I need to know if your staying or if this is just a pit stop for you." He stood in front of her and became serious. "What happen?" he knew with the way she spoke something was happening. "the apocalypse is starting." He blinked the sighed. He places each had on either side of her hips looking her in the eyes. "I go were you go I won't lose you like I did at the beginning." She smirked "so god or chuck apparently told me the truth I'm your gracemate. That's why I found your sword and why I can use it with out turning to ash." His eyes darkened, and he nodded. "well you're going to have to work for it halo after all I've never dated let alone had sex. So, you have your work cut out for you. You've got to get me to fall in love with you." He smirked and nodded "I like a challenge." He closed the distance and kissed her. At first it was soft and sweat but she grabbed his shirt wrapping he legs around his waist and dominated his mouth. When they pulled apart, they were panting. "now what are we going to do about Lilith and your brothers?" at the mention of Lilith his hold tighter. "she's not coming near you. She killed the other mates and there no way she's killing my Star." She kissed him and held up his angel blade that she some how took off him. "well according to your dad it's a cat fight that he will want front row seats too. He said he made my soul to be stronger that all of the mates and arc angels combined." His eye went wide as he remembered something. "If you die you become an arc angel." She touched his cheek. "you will never lose me my mate."
