Chapter 7

Misha opened his eyes and looked around, instantly realizing that the eerie silence had woken him. The engine on the truck was off, and the cab was empty except for him. Ifan was nowhere in sight.

He couldn’t see a thing. There wasn’t even any moonlight to light the surrounding area. It was pitch dark outside. It didn’t help that Misha didn’t have a clue where he was. His heart started beating faster as he sat up, gripping the jacket that covered him tightly in his hands.

“Ifan?” he called out desperately through his bond with his mate as fear began to fill him.

“I’m here, Misha,” Ifan responded right back almost immediately. “Just stay in the truck. I’ll be there in a few minutes.”

“Where are you?”

“I’m just scouting the area, making sure we don’t have any unwanted visitors.”

Misha started breathing a little easier. He could still feel his heart pounding rapidly as the darkness seemed to close in around him, but he didn’t feel the all-consuming fear he had when he first woke up.

“Are we home?”

“We’re not too far from home, but I wanted to check things out before taking you there just in case.”

“Have you found anything?”

“Nothing looks disturbed, and as you pointed out once, I can scent things that are quite far away. I don’t smell anything that shouldn’t be here. I think we’re good to go.”

“Okay,” Misha replied, although he didn’t feel okay. He doubted he would feel okay until Ifan returned. Even sitting inside the truck, he felt vulnerable. He wanted his big tiger to come keep him safe. “Just hurry please.”

“On my way, baby.” Misha continued to look around as he waited. His nervousness grew by the second. It was quiet, but it seemed almost too quiet. Misha didn’t know anything about the area where Ifan’s home was located, though. Maybe it was supposed to be this quiet.

Misha pulled the jacket more closely around him as a deep chill began to set in to his bones. He shivered, but he wasn’t sure if it was because he was cold or because he was scared. And he was getting damn tired of being scared.

He was getting damn tired of other people dictating the course of his life. If it wasn’t his father or Hugo, it was the UPAC council. He just wanted to live a quiet life somewhere with someone that cared for him, like Ifan.

He didn’t want to be scared anymore. He didn’t want to be constantly looking over his shoulder for someone to jump out and grab him. And he certainly didn’t want to be sitting in a truck while his mate checked to make sure that their home was safe.

Felling angry and resentful, Misha pulled the large jacket on and climbed out of the truck. He closed the door and started pacing. The faster Ifan came back, the faster they could get to their home and get on with living their lives.

“Ifan?” Misha’s steps faltered when Ifan didn’t immediately respond like he did last time.
