It’s under control [Tuesday Teaser]
“That was close.”
Cadriel maneuvered himself in midair and smiled at the angel coming out of the blinding light with hair almost as white as his folded wings behind him.
“Agnolo, why are you here?”
Like him, Agnolo suspended himself in the air and looked him straight in the eyes. “Cadriel, the gods—”
He raised his hand to stop Agnolo. “If this is about last night, please, don’t bother. I know the rules, but I just can’t attack anyone who is defenseless, and I mean anyone.”
Agnolo smiled uncertainly. “The gods are worried that what happened to Alastair will also happen to you.”
Cadriel narrowed his eyes before shaking his head, feeling annoyed. Alastair was supposed to be Victor’s guardian angel, but after Alastair had let the demon get away with the human he was assigned to before, the gods made him takeover the guardianship of Victor.
“Tell the gods this—I have never failed them since I started working for them, so I hope they won’t start doubting me now and comparing me to Alastair. We do things differently, and the gods should know that better than anyone else. They didn’t rank me an archangel for fun, did they?”
“Cadriel! You know I can’t say something so disrespectful!”
“I know.” He smiled. Personally, he didn’t see how saying what was in his mind disrespectful, but that’s just how most angels were, and Agnolo was not an exception. “Please just tell the gods not to worry, I have everything under control.”

Interesting little teaser there. P.s. I’ve contacted you about a Behind the Author Interview if you want it. My messages sometimes go to Spam. I think it would be fun 🙂

Is this the beginning of a larger story?
Jessica E. Larsen
That’s a complicated question. Haha 😀
This one is an excerpt for the first book in a series. You can say that it’s a beginning of a larger storyline, but it also stand on its own. A reader can read this book without missing the next, or read the next book without the first. Because the next books will be about the minor characters from this volume.
In short. This is a beginning of a series but also a standalone story. I hope made sense 😅

Sounds an interesting story! Except your selection of names make me stare to the screen like crazy hahha best of luck Jess <3
Jessica E. Larsen
Was it bad? They’re not humans so I figure that it was best to give them an unusual names. The main character’s is Triste (a demon princess) and “triste” is a wordplay of the Norwegian word “trist” which means sad. Later, I found out that the word “Triste” existed in Spanish. And this means sad too 😂
Huguette
oh no not bad, it’s your story and your choice, but I will never memorize them 😂 I know what Triste, I’m french educated and it means the same “sad” 🙂 yes in Spanish too but different pronunciation probably, what a inspiring name 😂
Jessica E. Larsen
Yes, we often say that French is like a softer Spanish. 😁
