Chapter 71

• "Leo did it," Cielo says almost softly. "He was trying to hold off dying long enough to warn me about Damian."
• A sobering silence descends, a stark reminder of the reality they face. Ruben and Cain exchange hard looks and slightly nod. No matter their anger at their father, there is a clear villain here. Yes, their father shouldn't have chosen the path he did, however, Damian didn't have to choose his.
• Damian, the name of the man who is tearing Cain's family apart. The pathetic beast that wants his life. Who wants to take his mate away from him. His mate. His. This gorgeous, incredulous woman that is currently in his arms. His sweet Cielo. Damian can take the throne from him, but as sure as the goddess lives, he will not take his given mate from him. This demon is not his brother, nor ever will be. Cain would have gladly accepted him into the family before any of this transpired. Now, there is nothing that will steer him from this decision. Even with his dying breath, he will forever denounce that demon.
