“Did you hear something?” I strained my ears.

“Maybe?” Noah glanced around. “Should we shift?”

“Let’s wait.” We could shift instantly, and depending on who it was, being in our human form could put us at an advantage.

“Are you sure?” Noah eyed me warily. “Couldn’t that be dangerous?”

“Just give me a second.” I felt something. I felt her. I knew it in every grain of my body that Mara was near.

I walked down the porch steps slowly, positive that Mara wouldn’t be alone. Whatever reason Bryant took her, he wasn’t going to release her so easily. Now that the Pterons had made the level of danger crystal clear, I was more determined than ever to get her away from him. But I would do it the right way. I’d make sure she didn’t get hurt.

“Is it her?” Noah asked following behind me.

“Yes, and I’m the one dealing with the Pteron.” No one else was fighting my fight. Not even my brother.

I strained my ears again and heard nothing. I knew they had to be somewhere. Maybe he was still flying. I scanned the sky. There were few trees on the ranch—nowhere for him to hide.

“I know you’re out here.” I wasn’t going to wait around. If Bryant wanted something in exchange for Mara, I’d give it. I’d do anything to get her back.

There was no response. “Show yourself!”

And then I heard the most glorious sound ever. “Ian!” Mara called out my name from somewhere far off. It was a distant sound, but it might as well have been right in my ear for the effect it had on me.

My heart nearly beat out of my chest as I ran in the direction I’d heard her voice. “Where are you? Show yourself, Bryant!” Maybe showing I knew his name would help. Maybe it wouldn’t. Either way I was going to find out.

“Mara?” I switched tactics, calling her too.

I heard the faint sound of flapping wings before Bryant landed several feet from me. He had Mara pinned in front of him, pressing her against him. I growled. He had no right to touch her.

I motioned for Noah to go around to his other side.

“Try to jump me and I’ll kill the girl. Got it?” Bryant’s voice was harsh, but I could have cared less about anything he was saying. Mara was here. She was back.

“Let go of her.” I held back only out of fear of what he’d do to her.

“Not so fast.” He tightened his hold on her. “We have some negotiations to discuss first.”

“Let me go, Bryant.” She struggled against his arms. “This is ridiculous.”

Watching her struggle made holding back nearly impossible. “There are no negotiations.” She looked fine physically, but I knew looks could be deceiving. “She is mine.”

“She is no one’s yet, but yes she could be yours.” Bryant’s voice rode the fine line between playful and dangerous. I wouldn’t have cared if he didn’t have the most precious person in the world to me in his arms.

“Stop it. This is about me.
