“I know I’m your favorite.” He brushed his wing over hers when she didn’t reply.
“I swear to God,” she muttered, fighting a laugh, “if you’ve dusted me with blue, I’ll tie your balls in a knot and hang you up by them on the nearest sharp object I see.” The last time he’d glittered blue angel-dust over her wings, Raphael had—eventually—seen the humor in the situation. She couldn’t guarantee Illium’s health if it happened a second time.
Illium dipped low, stroking back up with movements that looked lazy but took considerable muscle strength. “Be nice to me or I won’t give you your present.”
“Idiot.” But he was her favorite of the Seven. How could he not be when he saw her human heart not as a curse, but as a gift? When he would lay down his life for the archangel who was Elena’s? When he laughed with the same easy joy as the children in the Refuge?

Sighhhhh. I looove Ilium and I really want him to find his mate someday. Please???
Oh- I just can't wait until January. I think I am going to go crazy!!!!
Illium is my fav of all the seven...until I read Dmitri's book and then he will probably be my favourite because Nalini makes me fall in love with all her characters :) I hope we don't have to wait too long for Illium's book though
GYYYAAAHHH. I can't wait to see more of Illium :) Thanks for the tease, Ms Singh- a shame we have to wait 2 months for the book!
kyaaaaaaaaaaa Illium!! (sigh) such a cutie.
Does Illium just like to push Raphael's buttons and have no sense of self-preservation? LOL He seems to have a crush on Elena. Lovely excerpt. Thanks!
Aww Illium is so cute! Thanks for the excerpt! =)
I have always loved Illium... he seems so adorable <3
Fantastic! Thank you!
You are such a TEASE!!!!
Thank you!!!!

I'm SO looking forward to devouring it.
Thanks!
(and: Team Illium / Team Kaleb!)

I totally agree that Bluebell needs his own book especially if naughty Dmitri gets one.
Aww, so yummy. Illium makes me smile. Thanks for this treat. btw, Archangel's Consort will help me celebrate my birthday!! yay.

I love him too. I hope Raphael will be lenient if he decide to punish him.
*SIGH* Nalini - you write...so beautifully! There is so much humour in there...but I love the last line so much. Illium has so much...joy! Thank you so much for the sneak peak!
I love Illium! Thank you for the great excerpt!
Ahh! That was cruel. I can't wait to read the book. Two months is too far away. I love Illium and hope he gets his own book. Can't wait for that day. :)
that's GOOD! I even wonder... if Illium be a bit stronger,would he challenge Raphael for Elena? I hope yes! they have chemistry togeether ;):)
Nalini thanks for the sneak peak! Would it be greedy to ask/beg for more:)
Awww, I love Illium! I like so many others REALLY want him to get his own book.
Thank you Nalini for that peek.
It is strange wanting Christmas and New Years to hurry up and be over so I can get my hands on Archangels Consort?
Nalini, you torture me, you really do. How can you give such amazing teasers when the book - for me - comes out in FEBRUARY!? I can't do it anymore, i might have to move to america and get it there instead, just so i can read it in January. <3
much love for Illium! (secretly wanting him to kiss elena, even if raphael... gets a little... 'angry' (:
loved illium he was so gentle, but playful as well. when does the archangels consort come out in aust?
I can't wait for Illium's book. He's by far my favorite character in the series. I'm hoping that his girl's not a dom... :(
Thank you! So sweet ..
I loved Ilium the first time I read Angel's Blood. There is just so much in him but there is so much loneliness hidden behind those smiles..sigh...to love a mortal and mourn for her all this time!!
Miss Singh, I do so look forward to read our Ilium's story...I'm pretty sure I would love him as much as I loved Dimitri when I read his story. I was thinking that Ilium will fall for a Hunter with a human heart...aahhh..wishful thinking. :))
I hope illium falls in love with a normal human and not a hunter who is just as fierce yet not a hunter.
