    into his gut. He was temporarily insane. Yeah. That was it. Had to be. He looked at Devon again, noting that one eye was swollen, the corner of his lip busted open, and a chunk of meat almost ripped off his forearm. Lucien grinned up at him from the floor, almost laughed at the sight of the damage he’d done to that pretty face, but then sobered. Boy. Oh-god, Boy. He’d wanted to hurt him. He’d really lost his mind. Not Boy’s fault. The memories. Those horrid memories Lucien tried to keep locked in the darkest recesses of his mind. All those inner demons had sprung loose, blinded him, made him see black, made him crave to kill. Lucien grimaced as he rolled over onto hands and knees, his gaze searching for the battle pet. He stopped cold when the sight of the open doorway to his quarters arrested his attention. With a pained whimper, he closed his eyes, letting his power out. Devon was trying to soothe Rayne’s hysterical crying, but Lucien blocked them out of his thoughts. Cold metal and humming wires filled with scorching power lashed through him. His power continued to flow out searching. There were many scents and tastes, male, female. Lucien fought the urge to throw up with every feel of male essence he had to traverse in order to find… “Boy,” he whispered when he finally tasted the slightly salty-sweet flavor of the battle pet’s spirit.

He saw Boy slam against the door in the stairwell and burst down the corridor leading to the envirolevel. The end of the corridor was blocked by a trio of reapers. They’d been laughing and talking amongst themselves until Boy skittered around the bend and slid to a stop before them. Boy curled his hands into claws, taking a deep breath and letting out a feral roar that would put Seth’s to shame. Spit dripped from his bared fangs as his chest rumbled in a continuous savage growl. Lucien gasped at the fierce fury mingled with abject fear coiling through Boy Rayne. He would kill. Yes. He would attempt to kill the reapers blocking his path…and they knew it too. Fierce and beautiful as he was, the battle pet was no match for a death angel, much less three. Silver eyes went black in a blink as three pairs of jet-black wings began to spread behind the reapers backs. Lucien did not think of the consequences when he teleported right over the reapers, taking them by surprise when his body dropped on them from above. The ...
