“But you said we were strong, Papa,” Sophia challenged.
Ari gave Megan a look of controlled irritation and she grabbed Sophia’s hand and rose to her feet. “Come on, baby. If Papa says he wants us where we’re safe, then we go where we’re safe.”
“But that’s so... so lame,” Sophia complained.
Without warning, Jesska couldn’t catch her breath, her panic was so intense. She grabbed for Kaspar.
“Baby, what?”
She shook her head. She was suffocating.
“Skít,” he snapped, forcing her down onto the sofa and rolling her onto her side.
Jesska, talk to me.
I can’t breathe.
“Upstairs!” Connall snapped. “All of you, now.”
Kaspar laid his hand on Jesska’s chest. “You can calm this, baby. Try. Take a breath.”
I can’t.
“You can, sweetheart. I’m here. No one can hurt you. Breathe, baby.”
Jesska shook her head, her panic overwhelming her.
“Breathe, baby.”
She sucked in a short breath.
“That’s it. Again,” Kaspar encouraged.
Jesska took another breath, then another, until she was able to take in a deep one and let out a sigh of relief.
“Good, baby.”
“What was that?” she whispered.
“You have the gift of prophetic empathy, elskan,” Kaspar explained. “You can feel physically what will happen in the future.”
“Then it’s gonna be bad.”
“That’s how it seems.” He stroked her hair. “Can you sit up?”
She nodded and pushed up from the couch. The doorbell pealed again.
“I need you to go upstairs,” Kaspar said.
Jesska nodded and rose to her feet. She headed out of the front room towards the stairs, but didn’t quite make it. The front door exploded around her and she was dragged into the arms of someone incredibly strong. She let out a scream, but it was cut off by an arm around her neck. She was choking and gasping for breath as Kaspar ran toward her.
“I will kill her,” the man snarled at Kaspar.
“Holy shite!” Kade snapped.
Kaspar focused on the man and swore.
“Father?” Kade asked.
