she couldn’t be certain. Swinging open the door of her car, Ada climbed into the driver’s seat and waited for Dane to jump into the passenger seat before bringing the engine alive with a rev. As they passed through the crop of tree’s Ada felt the hair on the back of her neck stand up, she had to stop herself from slamming on the brakes to go in search of the presence.
It wasn’t Abaddon, the presence wasn’t strong enough for him and besides it would be ridiculous for him to attack while most of the Aje Authority was at Kade’s home. She was lost in thought as she pulled her car onto the dirt road that stopped at the foot of Kade’s property. Suddenly movement leapt in front of her car and Ada slammed her foot onto the break with a scream. She felt Dane’s hand reach out to hold her into the seat.
“What the fuck was that?” Dane shouted, swinging the door open and flinging his seat belt off before leaping from the car.
Ada sat shaking, feeling her heart race, her fingers clutching the amulet around her neck. She quickly strengthened her barriers around her. With trembling hands, she opened her door and gingerly stepped out of the car. She could see Dane standing at the front of the car.
“Ada, what happened?” she heard Frankie’s voice call.
Ada turned to see the Shapeshifter in horse form galloping towards her car down the driveway. Ada stood at her door, too afraid to step forward to see what it was that she might have hit, she didn’t even know if she hit whatever it was that was in front of her, it happened so fast. Tears began to fall down her cheeks when she felt the warm and familiar arms of Frankie wrap around her shoulders pulling her into his chest.
“I don’t know what it was Frankie, just movement right in front of the car” she spoke her voice quivering with the tears that now flowed.
“What is it Dane?” Frankie asked looking over Ada’s shoulder.
“A male, appears human, I felt his presence lurking in the crop of tree’s when we left, but then he just suddenly leapt in front of the car.” Dane replied.
“Is he dead?” Ada asked shaking off the tears.
“No, just curled up in a little ball of snivelling tears” Dane said with disdain in his voice that sent a shiver through Ada.
She walked to the front of the car and saw the familiar figure curled up into a foetal position of Travis. Ada let out a breath and knelt beside him, pulling him into an embrace. She looked up at Dane and saw his eyes glow red briefly. Ada blinked not sure whether what she just witnessed was real. When she looked at him again, his eyes were the same bright blue they had always been.
“Travis, what are you doing?” Ada asked gently.
Travis lifted his head, his cheeks wet with tears. His shirt was dirty and torn and he looked like he hadn’t slept since she had healed him.
“I need you Ada” he said.
“Oh Travis” Ada spoke quietly.
Frankie seemed to understand what had happened and stepped in. He leant forward and pulled Travis up to standing.
“What is going on?” Dane asked.
“He was attacked by a Demon two nights ago and I healed him, but he has been somewhat smitten ever since. I don’t know what’s happened, but I’ve never had someone I heal fall in love with me before” Ada explained with a shake of her head.
Dane nodded and stepped forward. Travis flinched as Dane reached up his hand to Travis’s face.
“Don’t be afraid” he said gently.
Suddenly Dane’s aura became a bright and glowing blue, it was almost blinding in its beauty. He caressed the side of Travis’s face gently and Travis closed his eyes, leaning back onto Frankie’s chest. Dane reached out for Ada’s hand, clasping it in his. She could feel his power surge and her groin clenched. Ada cried out as pleasure flowed through her. Her nipples stiffened and her eyes blurred. It was too much, she felt her eyes threaten to black out and felt as if her knees were about to buckle underneath her when
