He just didn't expect the same mercenary to answer.With Fate pushing them together once more, Bellona will do anything to keep Rafael safe from his enemies, even if it means ignoring how the cheeky mortal makes her feel. Rafael might be a moving target for every bounty hunter in Italy, but he's not going to let his angel of death get away from him a second time.The goddess of war is about to encounter the one battle she can't win, and it's going to force her to question everything she ever knew about herself.
