A Dangerous Fury (The Sentinel Demons Book 3) Read Online Free PDF Page A

after Hunter had lost his family, stepping in when Hunter had been aggressively slaying demons in an act of revenge, his usual hunting skills not up to par because of his grief. He’d failed to see an Evil behind him as he cut through a mass of the little bastards during a confrontation. He had made one stupid mistake that should have cost him his human life. Kristoff had come out of nowhere, moving behind the Evil and beheading it just as the demon was about to deal Hunter a death blow that would have killed him instantly.
    “Why me? Why did Kristoff save me?” he questioned aloud in a husky voice.
    “Because he was drawn to you, just like he was drawn to Zachary and Andrew,” Athena answered quietly. “Although your Winston brothers weren’t hunters when they were human or fated to be Sentinels, you’re all special because your radiants have extraordinary powers. They have talents that can help us have stasis again in the battle between good and evil. Kristoff didn’t completely understand why he needed to recruit all of you. He just knew it was important.”
    “How do you know?” Hunter questioned irritably. “Did you make me the way I am? Was I one of your personal creations?”
    “No. It was prophesized and you were destined to be born a hunter thousands of years ago. It was fated.”
    “The demon prophecies are a bunch of garbage that no one can decipher,” Hunter rumbled unhappily. “Talia and Kat are working on them, but I think Drew and Zach humor them. None of us believe in the demon prophecies.”
    “Every word in the documents is true. They’re just written in ancient metaphors that nobody can understand until it’s time for them to know.”
    “So even you don’t know the future, Princess?” he asked cantankerously.
    “I’m a goddess, not a princess.” She corrected him patiently, like he was a child. “And no…I don’t always know the things I want to know when I want to know them. The oracles reveal only the information I need when I supposedly need it.” She frowned as she met his gaze, obviously unhappy with that particular part of her existence.
    “So when did you realize that you were my radiant ? And how in the hell did that happen anyway? How does a goddess become a mate to a Sentinel?”
    She might be a little naïve to the current generation, but she’s brave, strong, wise, and beautiful. He was inside her mind, and Athena was a goddess with a conscience, integrity. No woman deserves to be mated to me, and certainly not a goddess.
    Athena reached out her hand and gently cupped his whiskered jaw, her eyes boring into his as she replied, “Because you’re worthy. Because whether you know it or not…you’ve kept me in existence for all these years by slaying Evils, even when you were severely punished and ridiculed for doing so.” She lowered her hand back to her lap but kept her gaze locked with his. “I didn’t know you were my fated mate until I saw you and you tried to kill me. I saw everything then. I thought I’d just cease to exist some day when I was no longer needed.”
    Hunter missed her gentle touch immediately.
    Mine. Mine. Mine.
    “I thought you were a demon,” he rationalized, cringing as he remembered how he’d attacked her. He could have killed his own mate in his ignorance—not that he was actually planning on making her his radiant . But it was pretty sad that he’d been blinded by the flash of red in her eyes. He knew now why the change in color happened, how the creation of the Sentinels had occurred. It was one of the first bits of information he pulled from their shared thoughts.
    “I know. I don’t blame you for it. And you couldn’t have killed me. I’m a goddess. We don’t die easily,” she told him arrogantly.
    But Hunter had caused her pain, and he hated himself for that. He broke contact with her unnerving stare and looked at the space around him for the first time. The room looked like a purple fairy had vomited the color all over
