Chapter Nine

Drew Winston paced his plush office at Winston Industries with a pensive expression, gripping the foam cup in his hand so tightly that it nearly burst. “Do you think he did it?” he asked Kristoff and Hunter, both of whom were currently lounging in his comfortable leather chairs near his desk. They had turned their seats toward the door and were presently watching him walk back and forth across the considerable length of his private office, stopping occasionally to take a slug of his cappuccino or to grab a decadent chocolate from his desk and pop it into his mouth. His personal assistant made sure Drew had an endless supply of both items, and several others that Drew indulged himself with throughout the day. If it were possible for demons to become overweight, Drew was fairly certain he would be. Fortunately, he was immortal, and he never had to worry about what he shoved into his mouth to satisfy his never-ending hunger. His body would always be in optimum fighting condition. There were many things Drew loved about being a Sentinel, and being capable of eating an endless amount of food that wasn’t good for him was at the top of the list.

“Which deed are we talking about?” Kristoff questioned with a small, mysterious smile.

“We want to know if Zach bound Kat to him.” Hunter turned slightly and tossed his empty soda can toward the trash, the container sailing neatly through the air and landing dead center. “Two points,” he grunted with satisfaction.

“He did. Tighter than he realizes,” Kristoff replied, a small smile lingering on his lips.

Drew didn’t ask how Kristoff knew this. The Sentinel king had powers that even he and his brothers hadn’t yet completely figured out. “She accepted him then?” Drew asked, hoping Zach would finally find peace.

“Oh…he hasn’t taken her as his radiant. She made a life bargain with him,” Kristoff commented casually before lifting his own cup of coffee to his mouth, taking a healthy gulp.

Drew’s eyebrows drew together, creating a furrow between his brows. “And will he be taking her as his radiant?”

Kristoff swallowed before he shrugged and then answered, “That I don’t know. No Sentinel has ever not accepted their radiant, but if anyone is stubborn enough to do it…it’s Zach.”

“I’d refuse,” Hunter grumbled, crossing his arms in front of him. “Better to not have a mate. Too much trouble.”

Drew didn’t answer. He was used to Hunter’s abrasive personality. And what Hunter was really saying was that it hurt too much to care about someone, to risk losing them. With Hunter’s past, it was understandable. He just wished his brother would stop divesting the Evils of their heads without provocation and breaking the rules. Drew hated seeing the price that Hunter paid for doing so, and unfortunately, it happened way too frequently.

“He needs her,” he told Kristoff fiercely, gripping his cup until the foam indented and was in danger of popping. Zach deserved his happiness and Kat was his only hope of finding it.
