eyes glow red when he looked over her shoulder towards Dane. Ada frowned. Kade’s feelings were scrambled from her and she couldn’t understand what he was feeling, but she understood one thing, he didn’t trust Dane. She didn’t trust him either, yet something in her pulled her towards him, it was like something clicked inside her that prevented her from running from him.
‘Send Frankie, he will keep me safe’ she spoke into Kade’s mind which snapped him from the glare that he held towards Dane.
He looked down at Ada and smiled, but she could see that his canines were already elongated. His anger was overwhelming him.
‘What is it?’ she asked watching his face.
‘That man, I can’t put my finger on it, but something about him isn’t right’ Kade said, stepping around Ada and walking towards Dane.
“How long did you say you had been a part of the Aje Authority?” Kade asked.
“Only a few months” Dane spoke patiently.
Ada could sense Kade’s anger, it filled the room in a dense heavy fog, but Dane seemed to be oblivious to it. She stood watching her Father’s aura get darker around him swirling out to every corner until the room in which they stood flashed a deep crimson.
“Kade please, I am on your side” Dane spoke “I will look after Ada; I will allow no harm come to her. You can check with Karla, she has a full background check on me.”
Kade nodded and looked out the window beside the door, his aura suddenly disappeared and he retreated from the front door. Ada looked out the window and could see that daylight was emerging and although Kade was Nephilim he still was a Vampire and like all Vampires he was allergic to the sunlight.
‘Go Dad, I will come back tonight’ Ada spoke into his mind, sending her own feelings of confidence to him to try and ease his fears.
She knew that she didn’t fool her Father, he would sense her unease. But at that moment Ada had no choice, it was either sit around and read Merza’s journals in hope that she might discover some gem to give her the answers she sought to questions she didn’t know to ask or trust Dane to teach her the magic she held inside her. He was a Warlock, he had his own magic. He said he was ancient. He would be able to help her. Ada made the decision that she needed to take the risk and trust in the amulet and the power it held.
Kade turned to Ada and smiled a weak smile at her. He nodded before heading towards the stairs. Ada watched him ascend the stairs to his darkened room before turning back to Dane. She felt shaken by what had occurred, she didn’t know what to think, was her Father just shaken by Merza’s disappearance? Was his mistrust valid or was he just being paranoid because of the disarray that the Aje Authority was in? Ada frowned and fingered her amulet, she didn’t have time to go through everything and she didn’t have time to mull over all the thoughts in her mind.
Chapter Six
“It’s in the eyes I can tell you, will always be danger.” Mumford and Sons.
Ada knew she had to learn to let her instincts rule and right now they said to go with Dane and allow him to teach her to control her power. Ada shook her head in an action of clearing her mind as she walked towards the door that Dane had opened for her.
“You ok?” he asked.
Ada smiled and nodded walking past Dane and touching his shoulder lightly. As they got to her car, she noticed movement in the crop of trees at the base of Kade’s property. Ada paused and squinted her eyes at the trees.
“What is it?” Dane asked.
“I’m not sure, I thought I saw movement” she said rubbing her hand over her face. “It was probably nothing, I’m just seeing shadows”
Dane frowned still peering into the crop of woods. She sent her feelers out to see if she could sense another presence. Ada felt a slight presence but couldn’t tell whether that was residual, there were so many people at her Father’s property
