Chapter Ten

Anya woke with a start as Finn sat up suddenly, his eyes wide and alert. Clouds once again covered the moon, filling the forest with darkness and spooky shadows.

“What is it?” she whispered, her heart beginning to pound.

Finn put a finger to his lips, indicating that she should be quiet. She nodded, but it took a great deal of self-control to keep herself from asking more nervous questions. He was peering into the forest with green eyes that almost seemed to glow, and she instinctively knew that he had heard something. Perhaps it was just a wild animal. In that case, Anya was not worried. She knew Finn could easily shift into dragon form and take down any wild animal that might be roaming through this forest.

But what if Saul’s soldiers had tracked them down once again? Anya knew enough by now to realize that she and Finn would be pretty vulnerable out here on their own, away from the protective shield that surrounded their campsite. She began to feel foolish for venturing out here on her own.

She did not regret sleeping with Finn—not even a little bit. The moments of passion that they had shared had been some of the most intense, wonderful moments of Anya’s life. But perhaps they should have gone back to the others afterward instead of so foolishly falling asleep out in the open. Not only were they unprotected, but there was no fire to warm them out here. Anya was realizing more with each passing second just how cold she was. Her toes and fingers felt like ice, and now that she was not pressed against Finn’s body, the rest of her own body was quickly freezing over as well.

Finn breathed in deeply, smelling the air. His brow furrowed further at whatever it was he seemed to smell, but before Anya had much time to worry about it, a twig snapped to her left, then another and another. Her heart pounded in her chest as she looked desperately into the dark forest, sure she was about to come face to face with Saul’s army.

Finn was jumping to his feet, too, and she thought he was about to shift, although she wasn’t sure how much good one dragon could do on his own against Saul’s army. But Finn didn’t shift after he stood. Instead, he walked quickly over to where Anya’s clothes were still strewn across the ground, and grabbed them up. He tossed them to her with a look of exasperation on his face and said, “You’re going to want to put these on.”

Anya wasn’t sure why it mattered whether or not she was naked if she was about to get killed, but she shrugged and started pulling on her shirt. At least it gave her something to do, which helped calm her nerves slightly. The snapping of twigs was growing louder, and Anya suddenly heard a familiar voice shouting out.

“I think they’re over here. Their trail goes this way!”

It was Owen. Anya’s heart leapt with hope.
