Baron

After being taken prisoner by the false king, I learn Variant is nothing like I imagined him to be…

His hair is as fair as the curtains that drop from the ceilings. Darker than mine by merely a shade or two. The golden hue of his skin contrasts sharply with his white robe and captivating green eyes. Lush lips and slender brows complement the regality of his features.

“Angel,” he says as huge, white feathered wings unfurl from his back, arching out ten feet in each direction. I feel my eyes widen as I take in their incredible beauty. He flaps them a few times and the wind carries across my face, bringing with it the clean yet woodsy scent of the man, himself. Variant is far more beautiful than any male or female has the right to be. But that doesn’t mean he isn’t going to kill me...

And kill me he will.

After all, Variant destroyed all the angels before me, so why should I be any different?

Worse still, what will he do when he finds out I’m half Succubus?

The more time I spend with Variant, the more I realize the false king is as complicated as he is unpredictable.

And though I hate to admit it, the Succubus within me wants him. Maybe almost as much as Variant appears to want me.

If Dragan, Cambion and Baron knew the thoughts going through my head and the feelings Variant causes within my body, they would despise me. Almost as much as I despise myself.

When Dragan finds a way out of the prison dungeon and the five of us escape, we’ll learn a secret even more surprising than the fact that Variant keeps me alive…
