Chapter Eight

Ryker, back in human form, watched Kenzie sleeping soundly across the room from him. The irony of the situation was painful. After all the times he had wished to see her lying there on his bed, that wish had been granted. Just in a completely different way from what he wanted. Ryker wasn’t sure how long she had been sleeping. He wasn’t sure how long he had slept, either. His memory of the night before got fuzzy after he switched to bear form. He still couldn’t believe Kenzie had stayed after he switched. When she had screamed, and a wild, terrified look had filled her eyes, Ryker had thought she was going to take off into the night. He would have certainly died, if she had. But she hadn’t. She had stayed, and sewn him back together. He owed her his life. And he owed her an explanation.

He was sure she had a thousand questions. She had brought her rifle in, and it didn’t escape his notice that she had fallen asleep with it pointed in his direction. He couldn’t say he blamed her. She was going to be astounded at the fact that he was nearly fully recovered from his wounds, too. The Northern Lights bears all had a genetic mutation that allowed their bodies to heal at a super fast speed when the bears were able to sleep for a stretch of several hours uninterrupted. This mutation was one of the reasons the Northern Lights Clan had been so powerful, and so hard to kill. The silver poison the Blizzards had used with the seals had been strong enough to act with lightning speed, purposely avoiding the possibility that the poisoned bears would be able to sleep enough for their bodies to repair themselves before dying. It was also the reason why, when a Northern Lights alpha wanted to punish an insubordinate clan member, he made sure to keep that bear from a long stretch of sleep. Otherwise the wounds from the bear’s beating would just close up in a day or two at most, defeating the pain of punishment.

Ryker was wearing a pair of jeans and a button down flannel shirt, but he had left the shirt unbuttoned for the moment. The cabin felt incredibly warm to him, although that might just be because he was still on adrenaline overload from the events of the previous evening. He glanced at his watch. It was after 8 a.m. now. Ryker stood and went to the front window. The bodies of the Blizzards he had killed the night before were gone. Other Blizzards would have come at some time during the night to remove them for proper burial. Ryker was lucky that they hadn’t tried to attack his cabin, although he realized that they probably didn’t know how badly he was injured. After losing six bears in one night, they might not have been in the mood for another fight.

Ryker heard a stirring behind him and turned back from the window.
