“Are we almost there?” I called out to him, when he didn’t seem like he was slowing down.
“No.”The low, masculine voice in my mind made me jump and yelp. I nearly fell off his back, but luckily my grip on his fur was tight enough that I caught myself.
“You can speak into my mind?” I demanded.
“Yes. You won’t have the ability to speak into mine until you’ve claimed me as well.”
“You want me to bite you too?!”
“Yes.”
“That’s never going to happen, buddy.”
He didn’t respond to my words, but didn’t seem bothered in the slightest.
“I’m hungry,” I finally added. “Can we stop for food?”
“Unfortunately, we don’t have time to stop with my pack at our heels. I will feed you extra when we get home.”
Home?
Geez, this wolf was determined.
I gestured in the direction I vaguely thought Serae may have dropped me. “My home is in another world.”
“Now, I am your home.”
I scowled. “You really aren’t.”
I wasn’t disappointed that I’d left Earth, but that didn’t mean I was about to jump in bed with a damn werewolf. Even if some crazy sorceress had told me he wouldn’t hurt me.
She had abducted me, after all.
“Why don’t we have time to stop? You can’t just feed me more later; humans don’t work that way. I’m not a camel.”
He ignored the camel remark, probably not knowing what that was. Serae’s magic seemed to translate his words into my language, but it couldn’t do everything.“Many in my pack will want me dead so they can claim you themselves. It won’t be safe to stop until we reach our den.”
“What? Why will they want to claim me?”
“There hasn’t been a compatible female in Evare for any of us in nearly four centuries.”
Shock had my lips parting. “I’m the only woman in yourworld?”
“Of course not. You met Serae. There are many kinds of magical beings, and there are females among most. They simply aren’t compatible mates for us.”
Oh.
I supposed that wasn’t outrageous. At least, not entirely outrageous.
“What happened to the women?”
“Serae cursed us after a fool offended her. She thought she could reverse it, but failed. Repeatedly. She’s finally discovered how to steal females from your world to make up for her actions, four centuries later. Many of my brothers have been lost to immis, the insanity of immortality, without mates to tether them.”
Damn.
There was a lot to unpack in that, but I didn’t have the mental capacity to attempt it at that moment.
My stomach rumbled again.
