The next morning, Talia actually was sore in muscles that she hadn’t even known she had. But she didn’t care.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were an empath?” Drew asked curiously as he devoured the largest breakfast Talia had ever seen.

He’d taken her out to a cozy little place that was apparently well-known for its breakfast menu and they were currently tucked away in a quiet booth. Drew was consuming almost everything on the table with obvious abandon, everything except for her food. Lowering her eyes to occupy herself with buttering her toast, she answered, “I learned to block it. I don’t really notice it anymore.”

“Then how did you feel my pain?”

Talia had been asking herself the same question. “I don’t know. It’s strange. That’s never happened unless the entity is actually in my presence. Can it be the mate connection?”

He crammed another piece of bacon in his mouth, chewing thoughtfully before answering, “Very likely. Mates like you and Kat are unknown to us, completely different from anything we’ve ever seen before. There are so many unanswered questions. I don’t like it.”

Tilting her head to look at him, she asked, “Why?”

“I want you for my mate, Talia. I intend to talk you into accepting me. But I don’t like not knowing what will happen. What if the dormant power actually hurts you? It would kill me if mating with me harmed you in any way,” he answered unhappily.

“It didn’t kill Kat. Drew, I think there’s a reason for the change in the Sentinel mates, at least for you and Zach, something bigger than just a fluke. You told me the Evils are getting more powerful, doing things they’ve never done before. I think some of the radiants are meant to be, that they’re part of a bigger picture. If the balance is tipping toward the Evils, then it has to be righted somehow.”

Drew shot her a surprised look. “I don’t think any of us have ever thought about it that way, except possibly Kristoff, and he’s not talking. How do you think it’s all connected?”

Talia warmed at the fact that Drew really listened to her, valued her opinions. She’d never really had anyone to talk to before who really listened without going cross-eyed from boredom when she got on one of her theories. Well…except for Pumpkin, but Talia was pretty sure her cat just tolerated her babbling. “I’m not sure, but I think it has to do with the balance of power. The gods created both the Evils and the Sentinels so there would be stasis, equal good and evil. If that harmony is lost and the power is tilting toward the Evils, there has to be something—or some people—to return everything to the former state of equilibrium.” She paused before asking excitedly , “Are there any demon prophecies?”

Drew gave her a curious look. “You believe in prophecies?”

Talia took a sip of her coffee before answering. “Obviously I believe in facts and science, but everything I’ve studied never included gods and demons, ghosts and spirits—or they were only considered to be myth.
