und. Another moan sounded. I’m hearing Mastyr Quinlan, aren’t I?
You are. You know him?
She looked confused for a moment. Well, not personally, of course. But I know what he looks like. I have a computer and access to the realm-web.
Right. Okay. So, the vision you had?
Here it is. Margetta’s told one of her henchmen you’d be barreling into the main cave. One of them is holding the net and I recognized it at once. It’s treated with a fae potion and you’d never be able to escape it.
Sweet Goddess.
Yeah. She wrinkled her nose again but this time for a different reason. The thing is, she abducted these mastyrs for one purpose: To draw you here and capture you. She’s after you, Stone. I’m not sure why, but I have a strong feeling it has to do with your ability to channel the elf-lord power.
Margetta’s presence changed everything. And he agreed with Aralynn. Earlier, at Charborne, Margetta had aimed for Aralynn, not for him. The Ancient fae had wanted his battle partner dead.
I think you’re right.
She nodded. And after the way you so easily channeled the elf-lord power, it all makes sense. If she’d killed me at Charborne, she would have had you.
His turn to nod. She just hadn’t counted on a wolf from Ferrenden Peace possessing the kind of power you have.
Her solemn expression blossomed into a smile and his heart once more felt swollen with affection. This was one of the reasons he hadn’t hesitated suggesting they bond. He’d run missions beside her for seven weeks and he loved everything about her.
What? She asked, no doubt surprised by his expression.
He took both of her arms in hand and leaned in. He planted a quick, firm kiss on her lips and let her feel what he felt. Just that.

Rosamunde froze in her levitated state. She was in the middle of a rescue with Stone and he could make her feel so much with just a brief pressure of his lips on hers.
When he drew back, she couldn’t quite close her mouth. Oh, my. She wanted to speak aloud, but she was afraid their voices would carry and alert the enemy.
Images flowed through her head of taking Stone back to Aralynn’s cottage and keeping him in her bed for the entire day.
She drew close to him, and settled her hand on his face. How about we go get your men then maybe we can do more of that. What do you say?
It’s a perfect plan.
She chuckled softly. Except for one small thing. How are we going to rescue the mastyrs from a madwoman and a cave full of her minions?
He narrowed his gaze at her. You know that wind you created, the one that got me safely to Joseph’s house? The one that evaded Margetta?
Yup.
Can you use it in another context? I’ve felt your power level and I think it might be possible for you to create something similar that would hide our presence from the Ancient Fae?
You think so?
He tilted his head slightly. You really don’t know what you have, do you?
I’ve never thought about it much. But I trust you, so let me investigate and see what can be done.
Stone’s belief in her abilities, gave Rosamunde confidence. She pulled away from him just a little to give herself enough space to draw inward without the distraction of being so close to him.
She closed her eyes and thought about the veil of mist she created through the elf-lord power. Could she do something similar, a kind of mist that would allow her and Stone to enter the cave unseen?
She opened her eyes, meeting his gaze. She thought it best to warn him. I’m going to try to access the elf-lord power from here. I don’t know if I can, but it would be the means by which I could create a kind of shield for us.
