Chapter 14

“I’ll pick this up,” Damien said, “Mav do you need any help?”

“No, it’s fine, we’re almost done here anyway.”

Faith was helping with the cleanup. Dinner had been a lovely affair. A kind of feast: meat, potatoes, salad, sausages, plus the warm up snacks, plus dessert. I’ve never seen anyone eat this much.

Bear shifters ate insane amounts of food, she was sure they were going to explode at any moment, but they didn’t even seem full, or tired.

Afterward, they divided all the cleaning work, which they carried out with almost military efficiency.

She was almost done, took the box of cooking tools to the workshop and went back outside.

Zoe was saying her good byes, every other bear but Damien had already gone. It was past twelve, and these guys woke up at dawn, she didn’t envy them.

Maverick was pouring water over the bonfire, then dirt. He made real sure it was completely put out when he turned to her.

“How did you like it?”

“What? The reunion? I think it was fantastic. Even the weather’s perfect for it.”

“Yeah, not too hot, not too cold. I’m glad you were here with us.”

She nodded and lowered her eyes.

“You okay?” Mav said, walking to her.

“Yeah, everything is great.”

“You know you can tell me anything, right?”

“I... I feel like I owe you an explanation.”

Maverick moved closer, put his hands on her shoulders and kissed her. A sweet kiss. Her insides fired up instantly. It was warm and wet and slow, when he finished he smiled.

“You don’t owe me anything,” he said, “come on, I want to show you something.”

He picked up a pair of flashlights and tossed one at her, “think fast!”.

She caught it, and when she turned to look at him again he was picking up a blanket from the bed of his truck.

“Just in case we get cold.”

“Cold? Why?”

“Shh, it’s a surprise, don’t spoil it, just follow me.”

No moonlight passed through the forest canopy. It didn’t matter, her kind thrived in the dark, and it didn’t take much to see that Mav didn’t have any problem either.

“You can see in the dark too?” he said.

“Not if it’s completely dark, but if there’s a glimmer of light anywhere I can see much better than any human.”

“Cool, I guess being a vampire has a lot of benefits.”

“Not as many as being a shifter.”

He smiled at her.

“We can’t fly. Or whatever thing you did back there, that was awesome.”

“Thanks. I didn’t fly, I just moved fast.”

“None of us could pick up your movement, that’s no small feat. I think I’d always be doing everything like that, super high speed, I’d finish work and then just explore in my bear form.”

She chuckled.

“Well, it doesn’t quite work like that.”

They were deep into the forest now, the undergrowth was much harder to navigate, bushes, roots, stones... it was nature in the rawest sense, not the distilled down, picture friendly areas people trek.

Maverick turned on the flashlight. The trees were huge here, getting bigger and bigger as they got deep into the heart of the forest, far from the base.
