With a sneer on her face, she surreptitiously glanced at a dazed George, who was lying on the bed in one position, not speaking or even blinking his eyelids. He looked as if he had been drugged with something.
Alison felt the irresistible satisfaction of demonstrating to the fallen angel that she could be more ruthless and cruel to others, pursuing it much faster than he could.
And she would not let anyone take her beloved away from her. Jack has always belonged to her, and she will destroy anyone who comes close to her man. Without a shadow of a doubt.
- I feel like I've been taken advantage of. - George's words made the fallen Angeles laugh under her breath. She leaned against the windowsill and with curiosity in her eyes looked at the boy, who was lying under the bedclothes, covering his naked body.
- Earlier you did not complain. I sensed in you the excitement and excitement of getting my body. Don't pretend to be embarrassed because as a demon, I can see through anyone. I'm getting stronger with each passing day," she replied, looking at her black-painted nails. - I know perfectly well that Jack still has a small piece of soul, that's why he is jealous of me. You'd better steer clear of him because if he finds out what we've done, he might get mad.
George swallowed his saliva harder and, looking at her with frightened eyes, shuddered.
- I had already noticed the sparkle in his eye some time ago. I had no doubts, which is why I backed off. I would rather not expose myself to him.
- It's exciting, you know? I find it incredibly stimulating to think that he is still fighting with himself. Even though there is more evil in him, this soul still wants to take over all the time. I think I can become crueler than he is, and then take a little revenge for what he did to me.
- Take revenge? - George looked puzzled, but quickly realized that Alison had changed. She was not the former girl who wanted to save Jack out of love for him, but a dark angel who wanted him solely out of pure obsession.
At the same time, she wanted him for herself, so that when the time came, she could take revenge for the past.
The roles were reversed, and the real show was just beginning.

She sat in front of the café. She watched the people who looked at her with undisguised interest. Alison savored the feeling of envy from the women who wanted to look like her. They were furious, especially as their accompanying partners expressed interest in the fallen Angeles. They looked intently over their shoulders to see the brunette, who was a reflection of the ideal woman.
She smiled mischievously as she flicked the man a seductive eye, and he, clearly shocked by her gesture, stumbled to his feet. His wife helped him up, being embarrassed by his clumsiness, but the man did not react to people's stares as he was still stunned. He couldn't believe that he was the one chosen by such a beautiful woman.
Alison took a small sip of coffee and set the cup down on the saucer, licking the foam from her lips. She felt the intense gazes of men on her and their strong desire, but none interested her. The men were below her standards.
- Jeremy is so handsome. I'm so glad he joined us again, but I'm afraid he still cares about Anne. Do you think there will be a spark between them again?
The fallen angel lifted her gaze and looked at the backs of the passing schoolgirls, who were excitedly talking about the boy who had the same name as her son. A brief moment of longing to see him and find out what he looked like manifested itself in her mind. She wanted to see how much he resembled his father and if he was also, like him, devilishly handsome.
However, she chased these thoughts away rather quickly, telling herself that this kid was of no interest to her at all. She didn't want to know him.
She threw a frustrated glance at the woman, who looked at her pusillanimously, not intending to leave. Alison pressed her lips together visibly irritated by her fierceness, and then out of nowhere, ravens appeared and attacked the defenseless woman. Pecked by the birds, she began to scream, asking for help. However, people did not respond to the plea, as everyone was horrified by the sight that was happening before their eyes.
They hurriedly ran ahead, fearing for their lives.
Alison got up from her chair and left the garden with a smile on her face, content with the cruel sight of the suffering woman. A scream tore her throat, but for Alison, it was the most beautiful melody.
With full grace she moved ahead, putting dark glasses on her nose. A faint smile appeared on her face when she sensed the presence of another demon. She stopped and looked back, greeted by Rafael.
- You're getting worse, but it's hellishly hot," he emphasized, stroking her chin with his thumb. - It's a shame that I hate you so much.
- It's not me you should focus on, but the chosen one who will soon get into Jack's bed. She'd better not make that mistake because in an act of revenge I might do something extraordinarily crazy.
- Jack won't touch her. Even more so when you're around. He never cured himself of this sick obsession with you," he sneered with distaste.
Alison's humor improved visibly. The subject of Jack had always been her favorite thread.
She smiled derisively as the bearded woman slumped to the sidewalk, arousing a shrill panic in the people. The sight was unpleasant to the eye, but Alison found it enjoyable. She loved watching the suffering.
- I guess something angered you because you made a terrible bitch of yourself. - Rafael didn't mince words, being amused by Alison's actions. With this personality, she impressed him much more than before, when she was an extremely annoying angel.
- The whole environment irritates me and I feel like killing everyone, but I'm held back by the thought that if I murder the whole town, then it won't be fun.
- And here I will agree with you because I need to have ladies to play with. One chosen one is not enough for me. - Alison suddenly saw panic in his eyes, and then he disappeared. She was sure he saw someone behind her back. And she had no doubt when she sensed the presence of an angel. And not just any guard because he was stronger than Henry.
She looked over her shoulder, and a mocking smile dawned on her face when she spotted Michael. She didn't think they would get rid of Henry so quickly, replacing him with a former guardian — an angel who had captured and imprisoned the fallen in the past.
He displayed extraordinary skills, but Jack began to match him. For the moment, they were worthy opponents.
- Alison. I never imagined that from a faithful sister who defended against the dark side, however, you would give in to temptation and become enemies. It's sad that you followed the dark path to get closer to the demon you morbidly desire. I thought you were stronger, but apparently I was wrong all along.
- And I didn't think you would replace Henry so quickly, pushing him off the higher ground like a rag doll.
- Henry is strong, and I believed in him all along, but this is an order from above. They want to capture you as soon as possible because they believe that this time nothing will free you again. You will spend a wonderful eternity in that place, until it hurts to enjoy your presence," he announced, correcting the gold ring on his index finger. - Although I know that with Jack there will be small problems because he has taken on strength.
- You won't get off easy with me either," she announced, trying to escape him, but he prevented her from teleporting. She bit her lip out of nerves, throwing him a hellish look.
- You let Rafael escape, and you're holding me back?
- He escaped before I showed up. He is smarter than you, so this day is your last day to walk the streets of the town and cause people to suffer.
- Interesting. Unfortunately, I'm not going to obey you, and I'm out of here," she announced, shrugging her shoulders. She wanted to leave, but Michael created an invisible cage, locking the dark angelic woman inside.
Although she didn't show it from herself, she simply panicked. She was overwhelmed by an inner anxiety about the perceived threat.
Michael was not joking. He was not an angel who thought and then performed a task. He was a guard who acted rashly, trying at all costs to get rid of the fallen who were destroying the balance of the town.
Furthermore, he was definitely different from Henry, who repeatedly turned a blind eye to her antics.
But, what now?
She tried to pass the protective barriers, but a light touch caused an unpleasant current to sweep through her body.
She was trapped.
- You are a beginner, Alison. You're no match for me, so you won't get out of there. It's over," he announced, combing his fingers through his shiny blond hair.
- The end? - She snorted under her breath, looking around with frantic eyes. - You may think it's so easy, but you'll never capture us. I guess you think you are irreplaceable, but then they were novice demons, that's why you succeeded.
Her words sounded so convincing that she smiled cynically as she noticed the approaching darkness. The bright sky was covered with dark clouds, creating twilight. They raced toward them, plunging the town into a gloomy mood.
Michael seemed slightly alarmed, and his fears were realized when he saw an approaching angel of darkness accompanied by demons. It looked quite frightening, so Alison began to clap her hands with excitement, guessing that Rafael had reported to Jack about the danger she was in.
- I said, "You won't capture me so soon. They side with the fallen even if they hate them. They need everyone," she announced enthusiastically, crossing her arms on her chest.
- The time will come when I will annihilate you all," he announced with a rude tone in his voice, looking at the fallen.
The streets became desolate. Time stopped, allowing the extraterrestrials to play out the battle.
- I won't say that I'm pleased to see you after several decades because the last time you trapped me in snotty conditions, and I was pining over that place without a shred of amusement until Alison showed up," Jack spoke up in a loud voice, directly addressing Michael.
He faced the angelic guard, and Rafael, who accompanied him, stepped forward. The demons lined up in a row, obediently awaiting Jack's orders.
Michael watched the scene with clear concern in his eyes. No one in Heaven knew that Jack had assembled a group of demons who subserviently served him. This was unacceptable, since infernal beings had no access to the human world.
Jack was getting cunning.
- How did you do this? What did you do that the demons entered the human world? - Michael looked confused, but his lips clenched in anger and his sharp gaze, made him look belligerent.
Jack ignored Michael's question and surreptitiously glanced at Alison, who was still standing in one place, unable to get out.
- You're driving me to frustration. Are you so weak that you can't handle one angelic guard? I am ashamed of you," he declared, rubbing his forehead with his hand.
- Easy for you to say," she announced through her teeth, fulminating at him with her eyes. She was still angry with him for siding with Sarah the previous day; however, she needed his help. - I'm a beginner, so I don't have the same power as you.
- You can gain it at any time. - Alison furrowed her brow, recalling the situation when she left the club. When she was angry, then she had more power. Is this what Jack had in mind? - And someone has just arrived who you will thank for helping you.
Alison tightened her lips when she saw Sarah. Perhaps she wouldn't have been so furious if not for the fact that she noticed a teasing smile on her face. She looked amused by the situation. She laughed at the brunette's inability to get out of the cage the guard had formed. Furthermore, she thought she was the worst weakling and loser among the fallen.
- You vapid, crooked-legged whiner! - screamed Alison, unable to bear her perfidious smile on her face. - Let me just find anything that will be able to annihilate you, I will undoubtedly wipe that stupid smile off your face!
- Jack you told me about her many times, but you didn't mention that she can be so charming," Sarah stated, mocking Alison. The brunette looked like she was about to explode with anger, so Jack took that as a good sign. She was closer to a quicker release from the angel guardian's trap.
- Speaking of annihilation.... - The fallen angel looked with interest at Michael, who clenched his fists in anger.
Now that Jack had more power and demons at his side, his chances of fighting back had diminished. He would not be able to capture and imprison him as he had once done with Henry's help.
The only option was to find a celestial object that had been lost centuries ago and annihilate the fallen with it to rid the world of humans forever.
- Word has reached me about a certain, dangerous object. - Michael looked the dark angel in the face and froze. How did he learn about the heavenly sword that was capable of annihilating angels and demons? This information was top secret, and only those closest to the Archangels had knowledge of the sword to find it and use it to restore the world to its former order.
- By what means...
- How? Well, you have a traitor in your ranks," he replied directly, twisting his lips in an ironic smile. - He is a wonderful angel who reports to me everything that happens at your meetings.
Michael looked worried. Even though he didn't want to believe him he had no choice because there was no other way in which the fallen angel would find out about the closely guarded secret that was so important in removing the demons.
- You know what's funny? That he also can't look at your superiors, who conduct as if the whole world really is theirs.
The angel looked as if he had suddenly lost faith in the guards, whom he considered devoted brothers, and felt great regret. There was a traitor among them, so who should he trust, and who should he not?
At the same time, Alison pushed with all her might against the walls formed and got out, frantically watching Sarah, who drove her to a veritable fury. However, with this, the fallen Angeles freed herself from the trap of the angelic guard.
Throwing a frustrated look at everyone, she was about to leave, but Jack grabbed her arm, forcibly holding her to him. Although she was furious with him, she was exceptionally pleased with this.
- You stay with me. We need to talk to each other, honey," he announced, still looking at a disappointed Michael. - If I were you, I would watch the guards carefully. - Jack wanted to mix things up because he knew that this would make it easier for him to find the sword when chaos reigned in the Heavens.
He let Michael's eye wander, which had great significance in their future fate. And only they knew what it meant.

He planted Alison on the couch and took a seat on the coffee table, with his legs preventing her from having a chance to escape. She pretended to be indignant, but inwardly she was excited about his games.
- Are you satisfied with yourself?
With this question, he surprised her. She squinted and looked carefully at his face, wondering what he meant. There were many situations because of which she felt joy, but what exactly was he talking about? This she was unable to guess.
- Express yourself in more detail because lately, I have been feeling excitement over the smallest little thing.
- You wanted me to be jealous, huh?
This answer was enough for the dark angel to guess that Jack had found out about her innocent fun with George.
- Does everything have to revolve around you? I just felt like having some fun.
- You succeeded. I'm mad as hell. And for two reasons. - Alison propped her chin on her hand and looked at her former lover with a smile on her face. - I feel like disfiguring your face so that you stop tempting everyone with your beauty....
- However, jealous," she muttered under her breath.
- And secondly... - At this point he broke off and violently grabbed her hand, carrying her to George's apartment. He forcefully pushed her into the boy's bedroom and then finished. - You killed the man who served me from the very beginning.
Alison opened her eyes wider, looking at George's lifeless body, which had been lying in the same position since she left the apartment.
She was surprised.
- Why do you think I killed him?
- Because angels and demons can't coexist with humans. Do you think how girls who are interested in Rafael end up?
Despite everything, she had no remorse. She was overwhelmed by a slight shock and nothing else. She smiled under her breath and dismissively shrugged her shoulders.
- At least he had experienced the most beautiful moments before his death. After all, he has always wanted this, no? This is the most beautiful death he could have experienced.
Jack could not stand it. He grabbed her by the neck and mercilessly pressed her against the wall.
- He was loyal to me. Although he made some mistakes, he was the only man I trusted.
- Then if you loved him so much, why did you come to my aid? You could have taken revenge and that way you would never see me again," she pronounced with indifference in her voice. Jack loosened his grip, and then his gaze softened.
- Because I still can't hate you enough.
