Hunter was boiling with a mix of emotions. On the one hand, he was angry at Nieve for not staying at his sister’s cottage and putting herself in danger. On the other hand, seeing her so shaken up with fear after the attack, he could not help but feel relief that she was unharmed.

“What were you thinking?” he murmured into her hair. “What were you thinking…” Over and over, in a careful, soothing way. He thought it would have been so much easier if he had just killed her, but he couldn’t tell her that. Margaret and the cubs would have been taken care of, and he’d finally afford to give up this dreadful job. Why did she have to look at him and smile the way she did? Now, he and his family were in danger too, and all for this slip of a girl.

But then, Hunter felt her sobbing in his arms and he realized that she had lost more than he would ever know. All her life up until then had been a lie. Her stepmother had just been biding her time until she could get rid of her and solidify her control over the kingdom. Her father was under the spell of her stepmother, and there was nothing Hunter, or anyone else, could do to save him. All Hunter could do was to save Nieve. It was what he needed to do with every ounce of his strength. It was a primeval need. Once he held her in his arms, he could no longer deny that she was his soul mate. She was the reason he had been put here, on this Earth. And nothing would ever make him hurt her, or stop him from protecting her.

Eventually, Nieve cried herself out. Taking a deep breath, she pulled herself together and stepped away from him.

Hunter knew where he could take her. He had a cave where he sometimes stayed when he was out hunting, and she would be safe there. No one, not even another bear-shifter, would be able to find her there.

“Come with me,” Hunter said as he offered Nieve his hand. “I will take you to a safe place.”

Nieve reached out and took his hand. The hand of a strong, handsome man. A very naked man, at the moment. This time, however, she didn’t complain. She wasn’t afraid of him anymore, and strangely enough, his naked form didn’t make her feel as awkward and apprehensive as before. In fact, she took her time to admire his broad shoulders and firm thighs as she followed him down the forest trail. Unfortunately, a little way down the trail, they came upon his discarded clothes, and Hunter released her hand. He picked them up and started to get dressed.

“Well,” Nieve said after she swallowed hard and made sure her voice didn’t waver. “At least, now I know you don’t go around naked all the time.”

Hunter smiled at her. “These human clothes don’t fit me when I’m in bear form.
