Shadowed (Box Set)

Excerpt:
The angel was dead. Michael picked Loren up and rose, but as he headed for the door, the angel became weightless and took on a ghostly glow, then disappeared. Swallowing hard, Michael swiped at his eyes. His friend and mentor was gone.
All because he had dared to rescue a demon child from hell. All because Michael had stupidly fallen into a trap that led him away from home and the people he loved.
Glancing down, he noticed a trail of bloody footprints leading to the house. He momentarily stopped breathing. Loren had died in the driveway, and no demon could enter Michael’s home. He ran inside and found Britt lying in the foyer.
“No,” Michael said, rolling her onto her back and swiping hair limp with blood and sweat from her face.
Her shirt and jeans were covered with blood from claw marks, several quite deep.
“Britt,” he said, feeling for her pulse. It beat faintly against his fingertips. She was alive, but he needed to get her to a hospital fast. Where were the angels of mercy when a decent human needed them?
A fresh wave of sadness broke over him. His angel of mercy was dead, and if he didn’t act fast his lover would be dead too. Calling an ambulance or driving her to the city would take too long.
In his entire life he had never broken any of the cardinal rules of angels, until now. In his demon form, he lifted Britt and rose into the sky. We must never reveal the supernatural world to humans except to even the score between us and the minions of evil.
That meant if a demon tainted a human, the forces of good could intervene. Maybe this counted. After all, demons had done this to Britt. Didn’t that give Michael the right to fix it?
