He closed the distance between us, drawing me to him in a fierce, possessive embrace, even though another low grumble came from him that I knew he directed inward. “A colantha to the bone.” He leaned down, running his nose along my neck. He paused, then did it again. “You still smell like you.”
“That’s because I am still me.”
“But I can also sense that you’re different.”
I squeezed him back, the sensation of his arms around me still feeling so right despite all that had happened. “I’m still me, Kaillen,” I replied softly.
“I know.” He inhaled my scent again, and something in his stance loosened, as if his greatest fear—that I was no longer me, no longer the woman he knew—had vanished. “Your scent is stronger now, though. More powerful.”
My lips tugged up in a smile. “Haven’t you heard that I was the key to another realm, and apparently, I command power from that lost world?”
“I believe I did get a memo about that.”
I lifted my face to his, wanting him to kiss me more than anything, needing to feel his mouth on mine, his taste on my tongue, his body beneath my fingers. I’d been to hell and back, and the one thing I needed right now—craved—was him. Just him. Not his wolf. Not his demon. But Kaillen, the man.
Another low grumble came from him, and he pulled back just an inch.
The hope in me diminished when I saw him battling his wolf again. I stepped out of his arms and ran a shaky hand through my hair. “It’s okay if—”
“Tala!” Tessa shrieked as she barreled out the door.
Kaillen and I both whipped our attention toward her.
A look of horror covered my sister’s face as she came to a skidding halt beside us.
“What’s wrong?” I darted a glance over her shoulder.
She panted, looking more panicked than I’d ever seen her. “I was talking to Private Merrick in the back when an alarm went off in Klebus’s office.” Tessa’s eyes widened to saucers as her harsh breaths continued. “I overheard her talking to someone, and I think it was the SF members guarding the portal.” She gripped my hands tightly, her fingers biting into my skin as my otherworldly powers swirled inside me at the mention of that void. “She said to keep them contained, Tala.”
“Keep who contained?” Kaillen growled.
“I think someone has come through the portal,” Tessa hissed.
The cold late-autumn wind bit into my cheeks as I whipped my gaze back to Kaillen. His scowl grew as a deep rumble vibrated in his chest.
“I think they’ve been summoned, Tala,” Tessa said quietly to me. “I think this was what Mom warned us about.”
“The Bone Eaters?” I felt myself pale, as Kaillen’s expression turned fierce.
But I had a feeling Tessa was right, because it all made sense. All of the missing puzzle pieces clicked into place. Our mother hadn’t wanted me revealing my power because she knew. Somehow, someway, we had ancestors from that lost realm, and she knew that I’d inherited their power—otherworldly power that could summon them back to earth, if only a connection was created. And I’d made that connection. I’d felt their power when they’d tried to suck me back to that world.
“They can’t have you,” Kaillen said in a low growl.
“Maybe not,” I replied. “But they’ve finally been summoned, and I have a feeling whether or not I like it, they’re here for me.”
