"Where’s your land?"

"You ask a lot of questions."

"It’s a hazard of knowing me." Her boys all snorted and she glared over at them.

"My pack holds the next lands to the south."

"Great," she muttered. They were heading that way. Now they’d be forced to stay out of the forests. Certainly he’d have his wolves watching them.

"A sickly Elf, a Fey who is not wild, and a shiftless Were," the man, Rhee-En, mused.

"And us humans," she grumbled. She paused, her brows drawing together in confusion. What did shiftless Were mean?

He stepped them forward. "Do please feel free to explain."

Prince rode his horse forward a few steps and pulled off his silly, floppy hat.

The Were holding her sucked in a sharp breath. Did he recognize Prince?

He bowed his head slightly.

Apparently so.

"My…companions are assisting me home. We mean no disrespect being in your lands."

"Understood. Your journey has not been kind."

Prince frowned at the barb. "No. It has not. Time has become important. If you would return Aro, we will be on our way."

Rhee-En and Prince stared at each other as her heart beat furiously in her chest. Finally Rhee-En loosened his hold as he turned his attention to her. "Do you wish to go?"

She shook her head slightly, not understanding the absurd question. "Of course I do. I have to get Prince home."

He chuckled. "Prince? Is that what you call him?"

She grimaced, but nodded. Though she knew Prince’s name, she wasn’t about to admit it.

His brows drew together again. "You are the one the dragon saved."

She said nothing. He stared down at her. Her eyes narrowed slightly and she tilted her chin up, meeting his squarely. "He finds me interesting."

"You are human."

I’m an interesting human.

His eyes widened.

A satisfied smile curved her lips as she leaned forward. My family include Were, Fey, human, and Elf. I love them all. I wish no harm to your forest or your people. Let me return to mine.

He nodded, still in shock, and released her.

She took a step back and gave him a brief nod of thanks. Before he could come to his senses and change his mind she bolted toward her boys.

Kei reached her first and she flung herself into his arms, holding him tightly.

"Are you hurt?"

"No."

She pulled away and turned to face Rhee-En. Garen moved beside her, pushing himself against her and under her arm.

"My lands begin not far from here. You may travel and camp within the borderland woods if you wish." He gave another nod to Prince. "I wish you a safe journey." His gaze returned to her. "Keep an eye on your little one."

While she grumbled in protest, he turned and disappeared into the trees.

"I imagine that’s not the last we’ve seen of him."

"No," Prince agreed. "Likely it is not."

She looked over at him and he smiled a soft, sad smile. Suddenly she grinned and gave him a sharp nod. His smile grew and reached his eyes.

They’d work everything out. She’d lost sight of what meant most to her when he’d broken her heart. Though she was still in love with Prince, she couldn’t forget how much she loved him as a friend.
