last to know. She’ll be kicked out of the divine hall and shunned eventually. And you’ve finally given Morning Star every reason to pursue her now that you’ve given him exactly what he’s been wanting from you. He will find out eventually.” Edanai warned.
    I took a tentative pause. “She’s being guarded and protected.”
    Edanai raised a brow. “Oh? By who?”
    “Aon and Aliks. They met up with us as I was showing her around the neutral area. They were sent by Elohim.”
    That silenced and shocked Edanai.
    She was gauging my expression. I had no reason to lie to her about that. I was just as shocked as she was when they relayed that message to me in Angelic.
    “Sent by Elohim? So…this is already known and allowed?” She asked softly. An incredulous and confused expression masked her face.
    I nodded.
    Bewilderment now contrasted her initial confusion.
    “That…isn’t the only thing.” I slowly said.
    Her eyes snapped up to mine waiting for me to unleash another bomb.
    I shifted and sighed, unsure at first if I should even tell her.
    “Since we were together,” I started carefully, “We’ve developed the ability to communicate telepathically too.”
    I expected the look on Edanai’s face to shift into further disbelief but her expression remained cool.
    “What else did you expect?” She mocked.
    I looked at her irreverently. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
    She shook her head as she strode alongside the table, ending up behind me.
    She leaned in over my shoulder and spoke softly, “The conduit that established the link between you two is the child growing in her right now. At this rate, it won’t be long before she gives birth. I’m a little curious as to how all of this will play out but I suppose if the angels are aware of it and you’re still alive…” She trailed off.
    It was quiet.
    Of course. That made sense.
    I didn’t know how this was all going to work out either because it wouldn’t be long before someone there would pick up on it, like that damned seraphim.
    “Would you please keep this to yourself? I don’t want anyone else to know right now, not even Rahab.” I told her.
    She gave a soft snort of disbelief. “I don’t know how long you think it will go unnoticed but sure, I won’t breathe a word of it. I’m going to go. I’ve got plans with friends.” She added abruptly.
    Edanai didn’t need to leave like this not when other dangerous threats still loomed.
    I stood up. “Edanai, please be careful. I’d much rather you keep Rahab with you.”
    She pressed her lips in annoyance, “I think Rahab has better things to do than to shadow me around as a bodyguard. I’ll be fine. I can take care of myself, no need to worry.”
    “Rahab cares deeply for you, like I do. That means that I’m not going to let you get away with worrying about me if I can’t worry about you. I would feel better if you had others with you , and that you at least make sure that you keep in touch with me often.”
    I wasn’t going to breathe a word of Morning Star’s threat to Edanai. I know her.
    It would just make her that more militant in daring him to do something or make a move against her.
     
    She lifted her chin and pierced me with a hard stare, “No. Your plate is beyond full right now. I can promise the first part but the second is a no go.”
    “That’s not fair, Edanai.”
    “Fair, is a not a term that we as Fallen are familiar with anymore. It’s a good thing that y ou waited, I suppose. If she were still a simple human rather than super, she wouldn’t survive giving birth— let alone physical sex with you. You’re an absolute demon in bed.” She winked and then she began to ghost away.
    I stared at the blank space where she stood a moment ago, cringing at her words and the thought. My child would possess half of what I am. Darkness by virtue of being a Fallen. I’ve already doomed this child to a lifetime of having to fight and resist the permanent cursed wickedness
