Huh. It’s currently dormant. No flames of pain. I guess Cole
and Devon are no longer bonding. Grabbing my comb I pull it through my hair
while pondering this bizarre chain of events. Not bothering to dry it, I just
clip it off my face as I move to the bedroom to get dressed. Closing my eyes, I
reach out and sense Devon in the bar. Concentrating harder I sense Cole with
him.
Dressing quickly, I concentrate on Cole and swirl out of
existence and down to them in the bar, making them both jump a mile.
“Seem to be getting the hang of that. Everything okay with
you two?” I ask and they nod in unison.
“Everything okay with you?” Cole asks pointedly.
“I’m good baby,” I sit next to him and take his hand. “This
Power Surge is exaggerating a lot of my feelings, especially in regard to the
two of you.” I look over at Devon. “Every time the mark grows, it gets worse. I
just need to get it under control.”
Cole nods. “Just remember what we talked about,” he pleads
quietly.
“I know baby,” I reassure him as Devon looks at us intrigued
but wisely stays silent for once.
My Blackberry buzzing interrupts the growing silence. It’s
CK. “You’re home safe?” he asks before I even say hello.
“Yes, it’s all fine,” I say, irrationally irritated by his
concern.
“Good. The ceremony has been arranged for a week on
Wednesday so be in Milan on Tuesday so I can go over some things with you.”
“Yes, sir!” I snap as he, in usual fashion, hasn’t bothered
to ask.
He growls at my tone. “Liv,” he warns.
I falter in my anger all of a sudden, “I’m sorry. I’m all
over the place. This Power Surge is driving me crazy,” and to my absolute
mortification I start crying.
Two seconds later, CK has blinked to my side and is holding
me tenderly, crooning to me in Italian.
Much to Cole’s annoyance, which I can sense rather than see
as my face is buried against CK’s chest. Sniffling like an idiot I pull away
wiping at my eyes and CK hands me a hanky, which just sets me off even more.
“Liv, my sweet. Talk to me. Tell me what you are feeling,”
he says still in Italian.
Having the presence of mind to at least switch to English
before Cole blows a gasket, I shrug and say, “I don’t know. Everything just
feels… ‘more’. I don’t really know how else to describe it.” I sigh as both
Cole and CK take my hands while Devon just looks at me at a loss. The last time
he saw me cry was in 1746 and that was for a very good reason. He kneels in
front of me and places his hands on my knees. I smile weakly at him and he
smiles in return, reassuring me.
“I’m sorry,” I say suddenly feeling more idiotic than I have
ever felt. “This is ridiculous.” I pull away from them and stand. I take a step
towards the bar but then realize I don’t have to. Might as well use this Power
that is sending me into a snivelling mess. Thinking of a glass of Talisker, it
appears. I thankfully take a big sip, feeling the peaty heat slide down my
throat. Turning to face my sire and my boys, I force a smile on my face. “I’m
fine now.”
Cole doesn’t believe me though. “Liv, you’ve been saying
that for days now. Clearly you aren’t fine,” he snaps then shrugs
apologetically when I glare at him.
“I have to agree,” CK says. “Come to Milan with me now,
where I can look after you.”
Cole glares at him and clears his throat. “If she goes, I
go,” he states and CK just looks at him mildly.
“Same here,” Devon says.
“I’m not going anywhere!” I blurt out in frustration. “At
least not yet. I… we… will be in Milan on Tuesday next week as ordered.”
CK glares at my defiance but I really don’t care right now.
“Look, Cole needs stability, not to be dragged halfway
across the world and back again. I am fine. I will deal with this.”
“Fine,” CK grudgingly concedes to my surprise. He turns to
Cole and Devon. “If
