“That hurt,” she said. Leroy took a step forward hesitantly
and looked at Billie. She nodded, telling him he could safely approach. He did
and took her by the hand. She squeezed it gratefully. “I wouldn’t have hurt
you,” she promised him.

“I know,” he replied, smiling at her certainty. “I’m glad
it’s over, though.”

Billie circled around to stand beside Amy. She looked
relieved and explained herself to the man and his charge. “An injured Wolf
without her packmates in a stranger’s territory is a dangerous creature. I
wasn’t taking any chances. Kathryn would skin me alive if I let anything happen
to Leroy.”

Amy looked quizzically at Billie. “How does Kathryn know
Leroy?”

“Leroy’s her grandson.”

“Oh! Nice to meet ya, Leroy. No wonder you weren’t freaked
out by all of this.”

“Nice to meet you too.”

“But you’re not Richard’s grandson, so you must be from her
first mate.” Leroy nodded. “You are one lucky girl, Sierra!”

“Tell me about it. When he saw me in the bushes, I thought I
was dead. Instead he saved me.”

“Not many Humans around here know about us,” Amy replied
gravely. “You’re very lucky. Are you ready for food?”

“Oh, yes.” Amy skipped to the Jeep to retrieve a meal and a
bundle of clothes. With Amy’s help, Sierra changed into a wrap-around skirt and
T-shirt, handing Leroy his coat.

Billie nodded and turned to embrace Leroy. “Thank you so
much. You saved her life. I didn’t know until recently that you’re Kathryn’s
descendent.”

“I stay out of your world,” Leroy replied. “But I’m glad I
found her instead of another hunter. How did you know to come? Grandma said
Kato contacted you.”

“Do you remember the woman I brought into your shop? That’s
Sadie, my mate. She and Kato can communicate mentally. He told her, she told
me, and we came.”

“But he only found us an hour before you got here. You had
to have known before.”

“Kato knows things,” Amy helped. “He probably went to find
you after he told Sadie to send help.”

He nodded, thinking. “My Grandpa Isingoma did things like
that, according to Grandma Sara’s stories.” He shrugged. “I’ll keep my simple
life. You guys can have all this craziness.”

“Isingoma was your grandfather?” Sierra said through bites.
“Kato is your uncle, and Kathryn is your grandmother. That makes Kathryn
Isingoma’s former mate?” He nodded uncomfortably, not understanding the fuss.
“Wow.”

Billie, still serious, responded. “Let’s get Sierra back to
Boise. Leroy, we owe you one. Is there anything I can do for you?”

He shook his head and pointed at the Wolf in his front seat.
“Take care of her. That’s enough.”

Billie smiled. “Of course. And I’ll bring you something for
your freezer next time I go hunting,” she promised.

Sierra thanked Leroy profusely and accepted help walking to
the Jeep. She stretched out in the back seat.

We have her. She’s okay, and we’re headed home.
Billie sent a message to her mate.

Good! I’ll tell Kathryn.

See you soon, love.


Your mate is a Sensitive?” Sierra sensed the mental
exchange and jumped to the most logical assumption.

“Not exactly,” Billie replied.

Amy helped in her unique way. “Sadie’s a Mage, but don’t
freak out. She’s not like the Mages we’ve all dealt with before. She’s
awesome!”

Sierra freaked out. “What? You’re taking me to a Mage?”

Billie glared red-hot daggers at Amy. “We’re not taking you
to a Mage. We’re taking you to Boise to recuperate. Sadie is my mate, and she
won’t do anything to you.” Sierra looked out the window and started planning
her escape. Billie continued. “Look, I know how this sounds. None of us are
collared. She’s not like that.”

Sierra couldn’t smell a lie from either Wolf in the front
seat, which calmed her only a little. As soon as possible, she’d contact her
Alpha and get away from this insane pack and their Mage. Until then, she’d
discover everything she could. “How did you end up with a Mage as a mate?”
