Chapter Six

Jules felt her eyelids getting heavy, but she was too comfortable atop Cristian to move.

His hands were leisurely running through her hair. Jules closed her eyes and let herself imagine what it would be like to have someone like Cristian in her life. He was annoying with his dominating ways, but now she knew why and understood it. His seductive green eyes conveyed deep emotions that she couldn’t get enough of.

And he protected her like no one but her father had before.

All in all, he was a good man. But a good man deserved someone who was respectable, someone who wouldn’t embarrass him. She decided right then, that though she enjoyed their lovemaking, if they made it off the mountain, she would leave Cristian and Romania behind without a backward glance.

As much as it pained her, the simple truth was that she wasn’t the woman for him. The knowledge made her eyes burn with unshed tears and her throat close with emotion.

“Tell me what you know of the Wendigo,” Cristian suddenly said, breaking the silence.

Jules swallowed past the lump in her throat, but didn’t move. “I know only what my father wrote in his letters. It was after I realized what he was after that I leafed through his books. There isn’t much said about the Wendigo, though what I did find gave a detailed description.”

“What did it say?”

“The Wendigo is really a man who has lost his sanity from a combination of magic and cannibalism. They say it’s a fearsome monster, taller, swifter, and deadlier than any man. He’s skeletally thin with skin that’s nearly white and completely hairless. The most bizarre part is they say the Wendigo has inhumanly long teeth, claws instead of fingernails, and glowing eyes.”

“Then your father was most certainly looking for the Wendigo,” Cristian said after a moment. “What did his letters say?”

Jules lifted her head to look into his eyes. “At first they were full of excitement as he jotted down some of the stories he’d heard on his way to Romania. Once here, he wrote almost daily, each letter filled with details on the Wendigo and how many people had gone missing since it began hunting.”

Cristian nodded. “The Wendigo will hunt and feed for several months before it’ll hibernate in its lair for a time.”

“We have to find it then.”

He softly ran the backs of his fingers over her cheek. “You should’ve stayed in Brasov. I can hunt better alone.”

“You know as well as I that our best chance is to hunt it now. Leave me in the circle if you have to.”

“Nay.” His voice was hard and cold. “He stayed near the circle all night, waiting for you to make a mistake and step out of it. I can’t chance that again.”

She shrugged, though his words disturbed her. “Make the circle bigger.”

“You’re fearless,” he said, amazement in his gaze.

Jules rose and turned her back to him while she pulled on her shirt. “I’m far from fearless. I stayed in my father’s house for three years.
