Wilson stared at Kim while she slept. He was afraid to close his eyes for fear Krauss’ men would show up and take her from him. No longer did he care about his safety. Now he worried only about Kim and the piece of him she carried.

His mind raced back to the files. The minute he’d read the genetic makeup of the father of Kim’s child, he’d known it was him. He didn’t even need to get to the name. He had little in the way of clear memories of the weeks prior to Kim’s arrival. It was entirely possible, and plainly obvious, that they’d collected semen from him.

He couldn’t help but laugh at the irony of not only finding his mate—which he was fast beginning to suspect Kim was—but also knocking her up without having so much as gotten past the kissing phase.

The rest of the I-Ops would love knowing he hadn’t even gotten past second base with Kim yet was going to have a family with her.

A family.

Never had he considered settling down and having kids. In fact, seeing his friends mate off, one by one, had sent Wilson into a panic, afraid he’d catch the mating bug. Now that he had a full-blown case of it, he couldn’t imagine going back to not having Kim in his life.

The snapping of a twig in the distance alerted Wilson to the fact they were no longer alone. He listened closely, trying to gauge how many of the enemy were there. Whatever Krauss had doped him up with did hamper his normal abilities. Something tickled the back of his mind and for a split second, he could have sworn it was the I-Ops. That was ridiculous. Protocol dictated that even if they had thought he survived the initial attacks, months ago, to only search for him for a certain period of time. That time had passed.

Kim moaned and he went to her side, worried something might be wrong. She jerked awake and grabbed his hand, seeming to calm herself when she found he was with her.

“Get some sleep, hon.”

He looked around, sure he sensed someone near. No part of Wilson wanted to worry Kim or put undue stress on her.

She caressed his hand. “I’m sorry I’m so tired. I used a lot of power to cover our tracks.”

“You did what?”

“Don’t be mad at me, Wil. I knew they’d hunt us down if I didn’t.” Her eyelids fluttered and Wilson knew she was exhausted.

“Kim, how much power did you use?”

“Enough to make them think we went in the other direction and enough to completely cover our tracks in this direction.” She released his hand and fear slammed through him.

“No, honey. No!” The idea that Kim could have over exerted herself nearly did what Krauss’ men had tried. It nearly broke his spirit. Wilson smoothed Kim’s long black hair back from her face and noticed how badly his hand shook. “K-Kim.”

She blinked, looking beyond tired. A slow smile spread over her pale face.
