Angel — H.P. Mallory

I don't know who I am or where I came from.
The only thing I do know is that I'm running from something…

When I'm taken prisoner to be thrust into a lifetime of prostitution, I learn I'm an angel. Yes, I bear the markings on my back that reveal my wings have been removed. But, when my only ally, a foul-mouthed sprite, insists my wings are intact, I realize the danger I'm facing.

I need protection.

And that protection can only come from three magically powerful men who were destined to protect the balance between shadow and light:

Dragan, a gargoyle and the King of Shadow;
Cambion, an elf and the King of Nature;
and Baron, a vampire and the King of Death.

At one time there were four, but Variant, the King of Light, grew greedy and usurped control for himself. He banished Cambion to the Fae Realm and Dragan to the Shadow Realm.

And he murdered Baron.

Now Variant is after me...

Excerpt:
Dragan, The King of Shadow

The shadows within me are pulling, struggling to maintain their grasp on the unconscious girl. I feel them wrapping their tendrils of dark mist around her, holding her tightly.
A woman has never had this effect on me.
As soon as I touch her, I feel power pulsing through her tiny body. It envelops my hand and weaves up my arm, into my chest and causes my breath to freeze.
By touching her, I feel my own magic boiling within me. But this time, the shadows aren't trying to force me to take her -- they're responding to her, stimulated by her, drawn to her.
I can't explain it, but I feel captured by her, by the magic that undoubtedly flows within her.

Cambion, The King of Nature

I remember the visions the angel had...
First, the sex. A not-altogether-unpleasant visual.
But I don't trust her. And I don't trust the vision, either. In fact, the more I think about it, the more convinced I am that she's after something.
Women, I've found, are manipulative, and the smart ones understand they possess what every man wants. This one is no different.
Yet I crave her. I don't believe this desire originates from inside me though. Instead, I wonder if I've been enchanted.
Dragan definitely appears to have been completely bewitched, because he can't take his bloody eyes off her. The barbarian is too stupid for his own good.
Where he sees an injured doe in the woods, I see an intelligent predator in the midst of setting a very convincing trap…

###
Baron, The King of Death

Dragan doesn't trust me. But he really doesn't trust me with the girl.
Little does he know I'm uninterested. Yes, I find her as beautiful as everyone else does. But physical pleasures are of little interest to me.
The only emotion that drives me is revenge.
Yet when I'm in proximity to her, I feel energized, full of life, even. My spirits are improved and this constant darkness that suffuses me seems less… dark, somehow.
It's dangerous, I think. It's the type of feeling one could become addicted to.
Not me, I argue with myself. I've experienced too much darkness ever to succumb to the light. I've known misery and pain such that no one has. It's been the entirety of my existence. And I'm nothing other than a death dealer. There's no place in me for lightness.
