Zaren lifted his face and sniffed the air again.

Yes, that was it—the scent he recognized. A surge of hope leapt in him as he quickly climbed lower to the ground, disturbing a group of palm-sized orange birds as he descended the thick trunk of a tree.

For a day, he’d been following the trail—the scent, the footprints, the movements—from the nest where Jane and her friends lived, but then it was gone. A small river cut through the jungle near the area he lost the trail, and Zaren knew she must have gone somewhere in a boat. What disturbed him the most, however, was the clear signs of struggle that were left in the area. At least six men had been there, and Jane and her mate as well.

Gad and Darling were right: something bad had happened to Jane.

After losing the trail late before sundown, Zaren searched frantically through the night, taking only an hour of rest on two different occasions. He traced the jungle along the length of the river in search of some sign, some lingering smell that would tell him where she’d been taken. And finally, just now, he’d at last found something: a familiar smell.

Not the one he’d hoped for, but at least he had found something.

The scent grew stronger as he drew nearer the base of the massive tree, his strong feet curling around the uneven segments of bark that acted as steps.

It wasn’t Jane’s scent that he followed, but that of the man. Jonathan was his name.

Zaren knew if he found Jonathan, he would find Jane.

A rustle in the jungle below had him pausing to listen. It was a two-legged creature, making an awkward, fumbling noise. A man with little skill at moving throughout the jungle.

Curling his lips in a determined, feral smile, Zaren launched himself to another tree, catching a thick vine in the process. He swung silently and smoothly from branch to branch toward the sound, avoiding a massive brown spider that he knew had a dangerous bite and the particular bulbous green growth on a branch that would turn his skin red.

Zaren saw the thick greenery moving below, and with one last swoop, he landed in a branch above the man, then dropped neatly to the ground in front of him.

Jonathan staggered back in surprise, his eyes wide and arm upraised to shield himself. But once he recovered from the obvious shock, he straightened and whipped out something sharp and silver. Half crouching in front of Zaren, the pale-skinned man gave off the stink of fear mingled with determination. He waved the weapon in front of him and said, “Get back!”

“Where is Jane?” Zaren demanded. He’d practiced saying those words to himself, over and over, and now he spoke them with more confidence than he’d spoken any words as long as he could remember. “Where is Jane?”

“Who the bloody hell are you?” Jonathan replied, still brandishing his weapon. Knife, Zaren reminded himself. Knife.

“Jane. Where is Jane?” Zaren said again, eyeing the blade while keeping watch for any tension on the other man’s feet and body.
