Azael stands. Behind me, Leo and Sean take a step back. It's good to know they are afraid of something or someone, even if that someone is Azael. Jason pushes me forward.

"You're not scared of me," Azael says.

Jason yanks me by my hair and punches me in the face. "Are you fucking stupid or what?"

The punch leaves me dizzy and Azael pulls a chair for me and has me sit.

I expect Jason and his friends to make a fuss but instead, they knock on the door and rush out of the office as soon as the guards let them out. No one is stupid enough not to take Azael's warnings seriously. Not even my arrogant brother. Azael sits in his chair. "Do you need ice for your cheek?"
