Chapter One
Vex
Lucifer wanted that baby's soul. I had almost had her, but Balthazar interfered. Then lied to Lucifer.
Something I wouldn't forget.
I stood outside Crescent Manor. It was warded. Archangel warded, thanks to Raphael. Or maybe the baby herself.
I needed to wait until the baby left the Manor. Then she was mine.
But I needed intel.
Someone on the inside. Someone no one would suspect. Someone I could manipulate.
That's when I saw him—Steve DuPont.
Long dark amber hair fell past his shoulders, wild and untamed. Blue eyes. Sharp cheekbones. He had the look of a rock star—the kind of pretty that made people trust him when they shouldn't.
Joy DuPont's brother. Which meant he had access to Angelo's world—the enforcers, the Manor, the inner circle. And Red Rose Academy, where his sister had trained.
Two birds. One stone.
I smiled.
I had possessed him before when he was human.
Now I’d have some fun with him being a vampire.
