Nefretiri
I wasn't expecting to feel Ivan; I initially thought I was going crazy.
At first, it had been the sense of the bond, and I'd welcomed it. That feeling was something I craved all day, and no matter where Ivan was, I felt the energy. However, it was much stronger now, and I'd thought he was trying to reach out and failing. I hadn't been prepared to have him hijack my voice and speak through me. The only other person who'd done that was my father, so I assumed it had been him.
Unfortunately, I wasn't alone, and Miranda and Caroline knew nothing about the supernatural world. So, me suddenly speaking in a deeper tone that sounded like a man was disturbing to them, especially Caroline. I wanted to explain, but how did I do that without scaring them more? It wasn't easy to say, hey, my mate and husband somehow learned a trick my rooster father taught him. Except Ivan said that it wasn't my dad who'd taught him.
