Fallen Into Hell: Fallen: Book 2 by Layna Snow (best romance books of all time .TXT) 📕

“Why did you help her leave?” Michael asked, his eyebrow rising as if he was curious.

He didn’t just act because he thought that it was moral. He didn’t want her to leave. He allowed her to escape because he knew that was what she wanted and he loved her.

Love meant, as far as he could tell, that you wanted others to be happy, no matter how it would affect you. He cared enough for her that he wanted her to choose.

“Love.” He responded simply. There was no point in explaining anymore.

“We do not understand.” Michael sighed.

They could never understand. It was something that had to be felt, to be experienced.

“You wanted her to leave?” Gabriel asked, as if to clarify. Thanatos shook his head in response. He wanted to spend all his time with Sophia.

“You allowed her to go, because she asked you to? That does not make sense. I feel your pain.” Raphael said hollowly, he seemed too distracted to notice Thanatos’ next nod.

Gabriel stepped forward, his head tilting to the side as he looked at Thane. “I have seen people do irrational things in the name of ‘love’. We have seen wars fought for that word. You, however, are the most rational of the Angels that have Fallen. I do not understand why you didn’t go with her, if she wanted to leave.”

That seemed like such an innocent question, however he had to say that the answer was a little difficult to find.

She didn’t ask them to go, and he did not want to put her in a bad situation.

They could be dangerous. They had enemies and responsibilities that might put her safety at risk.

And he would be broken if she died. If they caused her death.

He didn’t have to explain it to the Archangels. They could see into him in a way that made him feel weak and small.

“So, you chose to be moral because you didn’t know that there was another viable option? You did not let her leave because you were sinning with her there. You did so to keep her safe. So that you wouldn’t hurt when she died. We need to discuss this. This might change our offer.” Michael said, turning back to the others.

“No.” They didn’t need to get back to him. He already had an answer for them.

“No, what?” Gabriel asked.

“Won’t join.” He would not leave Adrian alone.

He also realized that they had been right. He had let her go for selfish reasons. So that he wouldn’t be hurt later.

She hadn’t asked them to go with her, but he hadn’t offered. Adrian was cruel and that might have pushed her away.

He would do anything to make her happy. He would change himself, and change Adrian if only to please the woman who had taken up residence in his heart.

He would prove to her that they were not nothing. That they could be enough for her.

They would also keep her safe. At all costs.

“I do not understand. What is more important than serving God?” Raphael, the last to turn, asked.

Thanatos was not surprised that they didn’t comprehend his motivation. They spent their whole lives striving for the greater good. They would not question the being that made them. They could not possibly go against an order.

He had once been like that, but now he knew what was more important to him. He now understood that there some something out there that could make or ruin your life in an instant. There was a force more motivating than Him, and it was just as mysterious.

“Love.”

He was going to kill someone! Sin just had to figure out who that someone was going to be.

He couldn’t kill Phie, he wanted to screw her, although he could certainly spank her lovely juicy behind! Besides, he cared for her too much to actually hurt her.

But he could still spank her. Sexy pain is okay.

And he would as soon as he figured out where she was. He was going to make her ass a lovely shade of red!

She could not continue to believe that she could just leave whenever she wanted to! She could have safe-worded, or clicked, out but she didn’t!

She could have talked it over with them, but she didn’t really try.

She just thought that her actions had no consequences! He would show her how wrong she was!

No, he couldn’t kill Phie, but he could kill Thane!

That spatula-cock bastard thought that he knew best! He actually believed that letting Phie go was a good idea? How stupid! He let their girl get away without even talking about it first, as if his decision was the only one that really mattered!

And after everything that Adrian had done for him! It was rash, ridiculous and Thane was going to pay for it!

Sin looked around the room, trying to figure out what to do. Thane had been gone for hours now. It should have only taken him an hour to lead her out and come back! If Death thought that he could cut him out of the relationship and make off with her on his own, he’d have another thing coming to him!

Like Sin’s blade!

It had been hours and Sin had already gathered some things to take with him. Because he wasn’t going to sit on his ass while the girl he wanted was gone! He wasn’t going to get cock-blocked by a dying sister! He’d show Sophie that she needed him!

Now, if only he could make himself move. What he really wanted was for Thane and Sophie to come back in and apologize for being so dumb. But he knew that wasn’t going to happen. She’d be long gone by now. It had been weeks up on Earth. He just hoped that
