Chapter 20

Kol felt warmth behind his back and turned over, recognizing the scent of his Ehlealah even in sleep. He curled around her, pulling her back tightly against his body and throwing a leg over her.

Then he was jolted awake with a blood curdling scream and the sound of a loud thump on the hardwood floor. Before his eyes could even focus, he found himself standing at the foot of the bed, his Psi fully engaged, snarling and growling at whatever the danger was.

Gradually his eyes focused on Ada Jane. Even in his battle form, his head canted to the side when he finally realized what he was seeing.

Ada Jane was naked, her long, blonde hair a mess, with her back pressed up against the wall, her chest heaving as she pointed her weapon at him.

Kol looked around the bedroom, then stalked to the bedroom door and peered out. He listened closely — his hearing on point in his battle form. Then he scented the house. There was nothing, and no one here to offer a threat. Slowly Kol began to let go of his battle form, walking back over to Ada Jane.

“What is it?” he asked, doing his best to speak English around some very large, blade-sharp teeth that had yet to retract.

Ada Jane watched in fascination as Kol’s even larger than usual body began to, what could only be described as deflate, as she stared at him. “Why do you look like that?” she asked.

“It is my Psi — my battle form. It is brought on naturally as a protective instinct or when we are preparing to fight. Are you well? Why did you scream?” he asked, calmer now that he knew she wasn’t in any actual danger.

Ada Jane shook her head as tears began to form. She turned away from him to find clothing, taking a deep breath and still shaking her head.

“My Ada Jane, there is nothing, not a single thing you cannot share with me,” he said, staying where he was rather than reaching for her as she was clearly out of sorts.

“I’ll be fine. I’m sorry I woke you.”

“You said honesty. I agreed. Now, I request honesty,” Kol said, fearing that his female may have changed her mind about claiming him. But still, that wouldn’t explain her scream.

Ada Jane turned around to smile at him brightly. “It’s okay, really.”

Kol didn’t return her smile, nor did he comment at all. He still stood in the same place he’d been, watching her as she hurriedly tried to put clothing on.

Ada could tell Kol was disappointed. He was upset, thinking there was a problem between them, and she didn’t want that. She’d have no choice but to be honest. “It’s not your fault, Kol. I’m so tired of everyone walking on eggshells around me. I’m tired of walking on eggshells around myself! I just want to be normal again. I shouldn’t have to require special treatment just to get through the dang morning,” she said.

“I do not understand,” he finally said quietly.
