Chapter 2

Waking up in a familiar yet unfamiliar cabin made Adam Ushmeg feel both comfortable and alert—something that had him looking carefully at his surroundings before sitting up. It was the same type of cabin material as the one he entered earlier, only he was now in what looked to be the bedroom of the woman he’d been trying to ask help from.

A look down and a thorough assessment told him that he was right—the energy he felt in this house was that of a witch, and she obviously was one. Considering how nasty his wounds had been earlier, it was a miracle that he was now only riddled with small ones, which were starting to heal on their own. His fast-healing abilities were very convenient for times like these, but there was only so much he could do.

Which meant he had one witch he was going to be grateful for and would probably owe a favor to.

Adam stretched his arms and legs, trying to find some little kinks that the witch might have missed. He’d had plenty of dealings with them in the past, and most healers were only able to heal the major wounds by stitching them together.

To his amazement, he felt almost no pain at all, not even any muscle cramps. He stretched again, then got out of bed, testing his limbs out and surprise filling him when they moved with ease.

No wonder her energy called to him.

Now, where was she?

A look at the clock on her bedside table determined that it was hours since he stumbled inside her home without permission, and he had more rest than he’d had in a week. That made him feel good, and the comfort this house brought in general made him want to stay for as long as he could.

But he had a mission.

And really, he had to assess her first.

Since he was already clean and donning trousers that were looser around the waist, probably cleaned up by her, he decided to go down the stairs right away, making his footsteps as quiet as possible as he tried to sense where she was. He couldn’t detect any movement downstairs, and a quick look at the kitchen and living room determined there was no one there.

But she was here. Instinct told him so, and his instincts had never failed him before. It was the same instinct that told him his mate was here, just as it was the same instinct that told him that whatever had almost killed him in Austin would come after him here in no time.

As a last attempt, he stepped out to the cabin’s backyard and finally found her—sitting at the side of the back porch, her legs crossed and her eyes closed. She was so still that she could have been dead, if not for the faint, steady heartbeat he heard after a while. She didn’t seem to hear him, but he felt her—in particular, more energy inside her body that shouldn’t have been there after the major healing she did on him.
