Nora's POV
"We need to leave." Kevin tugs at my hand with urgency. "Right now."
"The portal," I gasp, the words tumbling out. "My calculations show it should remain open for four minutes, though it might last longer." My gaze darts back to the greenhouse door, terror clouding my thoughts. The rituals were performed to tap into the Watson line's power and force open the gates. We suspected Leonard orchestrated everything as part of his grand scheme to seize control, likely using the same methods Chad employed.
Yet only someone carrying archangel blood can claim the throne.
Leonard arrived in Hell with a strategy, and I doubt getting imprisoned here was part of his original plan. But now he knows he's stuck inside with me, and we're all aware he has no intention of literally bathing in my blood. He plans to use me, just like his associate Chad did. Whether his goal is possession or forcing me into some demonic marriage, I can't tell. And I refuse to stick around to find out.
