Chapter 555
- Vin glared down at the angel, and new malice burned in his eyes. Noah struggled to his feet, but something in his leg didn't agree with him, and he fell to a knee with a loud groan. He tried again, and again the leg didn't work. He flapped his wings, but something inside him was broken, and every attempt he made to get up ended with him falling. With how Vin had hammered on him, it was a wonder the man could even lift his shield. His boots had left a small crater from Vin's hammer punches.
- "Azreal, Noah," Vin said, and he put his foot on Shir's head. "Remember last time? You deserve this." Chuckling, he leaned onto his leg, and the angel underneath screamed as his thigh dripped red liquid onto her.
- "Vin, don't!" Mia said, looking over his shoulder down at the helpless, wingless, broken angel.
