step forward which meant he had seen the smirk also.
“I didn’t know I had. I’m sorry Ada” he said dropping his eyes to the ground.
Ada sighed and dropped his hand. She felt like he suddenly had developed two different personalities. On one hand he felt like he was lying on the other it felt like he was telling the truth. Ada had never experienced anything like this before and she was completely confused. It made her long for Merza all the more; the one woman that could truly teach her all that she had to know, Ada had to attempt to save her Mother and the human race half informed. It was so frustrating, she felt lost.
‘I can’t explain this’ Kade spoke into her mind.
She could feel her Dad’s energy starting to become nervous. Not something that often was experienced by Vampires, so it put Ada more on edge. Ada sighed and scratched her head.
“I don’t know what is going on with you Travis. I can’t explain why you are seeing the things you are. Didn’t Frankie take you to the coven yesterday?” Ada asked.
Travis nodded and looked down at the ground.
“I didn’t stay there. Once Dane and Frankie left I ran out the back door. I don’t want to lose you Ada. I don’t want to be disconnected to you” Travis said, his eyes welling with tears again.
Ada sighed and ran her hand through her hair and closed her eyes.
“Alright, well let’s get you cleaned up and then I think we will all sit down and go through everything. I know I could use a nice herbal tea or a strong whiskey” Ada sighed as she led Travis to the bathroom.
Chapter Nine
“It’s not the size of the dog in the fight it’s the size of the fight in the dog” Mark Twain.
Ada searched through her wardrobe, sure that she still had some of her ex-boyfriends clothes stuffed in the back that would fit Travis. When she finally found what she was looking for, she turned to see Travis standing in the doorway, a towel wrapped around his waist. For the first time she noticed his chest was much more muscular than she remembered, suddenly her eyes were roving over his body, the light smattering of hair that dotted his abdomen and drew a line down to below the towel. Ada had to peel her eyes from the front of the towel and back to his face. She could feel her own face redden as she caught the look on Travis’s face, the slight smirk that said he knew what she was thinking. Ada cleared her throat as she thrust the clothes at him without making eye contact.
“Um these should fit you I think” she said as she brushed past him and closed the door gently behind her.
She was certain that she heard Travis chuckle as she walked away.
“What the hell is wrong with you?” she muttered to herself as she walked into the kitchen where Kade was preparing a teapot of chamomile tea.
Ada couldn’t hold back the giggle when she also noticed the bottle of Jack Daniels on the bench beside the teapot. Kade looked up and shrugged with a grin on his face. He glanced at her bedroom door.
“What do you think is going on? Do you sense anything?” Kade asked.
Ada shrugged, in truth she had no idea what was going on.
“There is something still in him, I’m convinced of that, but it can’t be Demon. It is something else that attacked him” Ada said.
“Abaddon?” Kade asked.
Ada turned to her Father leaning her back against the bench and closing her eyes. She nodded.
“It’s possible. He would know who Mae was to you. He would know that the best way to draw you out is to attack her son” Ada said.
Kade breathed in and sighed nodding his head, he leaned forward and lightly banged his head on the cupboard in front of him, before picking up the tea pot and taking it to the table with two mugs. He poured the tea into the mug and handed it to Ada, she took a sip feeling it warm her to the toes.
“This is a fucking mess” Kade growled.
Ada nodded her head sitting on the chair at the table and drawing
