    Anniel was dabbing a tear from the corner of her eye. The rest just gawked. Lucien cleared his throat, his fingers stroking slow circles on Rayne’s back. “Right. So where did we leave off on the plan to infiltrate Earth?” Seth was the first one to clear his throat. “Devon and I decided that we all need to get down there. You need backup as well as protection.” Lucien frowned and looked at his brother. A pair of twins couldn’t be any more dissimilar than Devon and he. Where Lucien was blond, Devon’s hair was blacker than pitch. Devon was white as snow and Lucien sun-bronzed. Devon looked like Davariel and Lucien. Lucien was the male version of his mother, down to the almond-shaped ice blue eyes. Lucien stared at his brother’s eyes, eyes that glowed unnaturally, byproduct of the demon toxins coursing in his blood. “We’re all going down?” Lucien kept hold of Rayne with one arm while he rested the other across the back of the chair and looked at Seth, who obviously had clearly lost his mind. “We as in who exactly?” “All of us,” Rowie said drawing his gaze.

Lucien watched as his brother manipulated the image to zoom in on a city in the upper northeast hemisphere of what was once the United States. “New York is still considered the melting pot. Only now, it’s home to mixed Edenian and off world blood. It was, at one time, the site for government council headquarters.” “Zion,” Lucien said, remembering the few times he’d gone there before being sent to Alpha 7 for the first time. It was where Samael had ordered him to go to obtain permission to become part of the Edenian Master Guardians. Zion, the tallest edifice ever built, housed the highest ranking officials in the solar system. “You mean those sons-of-bitches no longer sit within that massive dildo?” Lucien snorted. Seth spoke up next. “We found out that during the war they transferred to an undetermined place. Zion is still used to conduct official business, but the ruling party is in a highly classified area unknown to just about everyone.” “Rumor has it that they’re hiding in plain sight,” Zak interjected.
