and killed all those vampires.

This is the last time the angels get to destroy anyone. They can’t rule anymore; they are too corrupt and cold.

The army crashes into us like a wave against the rocks, and I don’t even know how it happened so quickly, but I lose track of all my mates within seconds. I’m sure I hear Ren roar my name, but I can’t see anything but wings, and magic, and everything going mad. My sword clashes with an angel right in front of me, his brown eyes glaring into mine. Ayda kicks him with her leg, giving me the element of surprise, and I shove my sword into his stomach. He coughs twice before falling off my sword onto the ground, and Ayda doesn’t wait, flying into the air. We sweep between angels in the sky until we get above them, and suddenly an angel smacks into me, knocking me off Ayda. I scream as I tumble through the air, the angel flying after me. Swallowing my panic, I pull out one of the tiny knives Myles gave me earlier and fling it at the angel. It slices through his throat, and hot blood smothers me before his body harshly hits my chest and falls away as I shove it with my arms. The ground looks so close, and I brace myself for one hell of a hard landing just before Ayda flies underneath me, and I crash onto her back. Grabbing her reins, I swing my legs around her, and she bolts into the air. I look down to see Madi in the air near me, her whole body glowing with blue magic as she shoots blue dust at angels near her, and they instantly drop to the ground. The demons are not as nice as Madi; I see several of them ripping the angels apart like candy.

I wipe some of the blood from my face as we fly higher and higher, leaving the war behind and heading to the city of the angels.

Chapter 67

As I shove my sword back into my holder, Ayda flies us straight past the rubble of the academy, of what is left of it. The beautiful gardens are gone now; nothing but dust smothers the floating rock, and strangely I feel sad that the academy is gone. For a while, it was my home, and it was where I met my best friend. And where I lost a best friend too.

And most of all, I found my mates. The loves of my life.

When I first came to the academy, I thought my life was over. My parents were gone, I literally had died, and I didn’t know what else there was to live for. Turns out, my life was just beginning. Pushing away all my thoughts, I focus on the city just as we come through the barrier that surrounds it, and Ayda swiftly flies up until she suddenly flattens out into a glide, and I get to see all of Neamh from high up. The city of light is as beautiful as I remember, but it’s tainted with silence now, not one single noise drifts up to me from the entire city. Turning Ayda, we head towards the castle in the centre of the floating island where I know the light above is hiding while his people are at war. My heart aches as I get further away from my mates, having no clue how they are doing and wishing I could be by their sides in the fight. I just know if the light above isn’t killed, then this war will never end. The angels will always do what it tells them, and I can’t live in peace until this is over.

Even if it costs me everything.

Swooping down, Ayda lands in a clearing opposite the large doors where the light above is hidden, but he isn’t alone. Three angels in white uniforms, helmets covering their faces, block the door, and they all turn to me. Sliding my sword out, I climb off Ayda as they walk over to me.

“Three against one? Not fair, guys,” I say, patting Ayda’s side.

“What are you doing here?” the angel in the middle asks, slipping out his own sword. I slide the spear attached to Ayda’s side out of the holder, knowing the fight is going to happen one way or another. I need to get into those doors, and they will protect it. I’ve never fought more than one person at a time,
