Say Her Name

"What do you know?" Axel whispers into my ear sending shivers down my spine.

"I know you are not human." I tell him, heat building in my eyes.

"Are you?" He asks me pulling me even closer.

Asmodeus is her name, Asmy is what they call her.

She's been chained to her throne for a century and is back now with a great appetite and a mind full of revenge. She'll stop at nothing to take that retched angel and tear her precious wings apart. But what Asmy didn't expect to find was the offspring of a now fallen and a human. That raven-haired boy as dark as his mother's wings knows one thing.

And that's her name.

Axel is his name, if you call him anything else he'll make sure you won't see the sun tomorrow.

He's had it rough growing up with a religious mother and a locked-up father. When his mother passed away in the hands of his father, his hands were tainted with his father's blood. Taking up the job of a bodyguard to a notorious drug dealer meant even more trouble. Axel didn't expect the redheaded vamp to show up after being beaten and left for dead with a dagger to his name. But his mother did leave him with something to defend himself. Her name.

Her name.
