“You will hold no space to fear anything in this world except me. If anyone threatens you or tries to hurt you, they will be met with a suffering so deep that Lucifer himself will beg mercy for their souls. I’ll tear the flesh from their bones one layer at a time and rejoice like the angel of bloodshed I was trained to be.” Gabriel’s hands slide up my back into my hair pulling my head taut to his, he angles my face. “I own all your fear, little hummingbird. No one else can have it.”
