Within the hour, she’d hit the streets with Kiya in the drizzle and biting wind. She’d persuaded a reluctant Josh to keep to his Monday work routine, which included a mandatory afternoon staff meeting with his department heads. She’d pushed every button, used every cliché to get him to not tag along with her.

The man wasn’t nearly ready to sit down and listen to a long drawn out explanation about Native American customs and folklore that covered her personal belief in spirit guides and a wolf that only she could see. The fact that she and Kiya had conversations were probably not something a man like Josh would ever understand anyway and certainly couldn’t fully accept without a good deal of rationalization.

That pretty much covered the reason Kiya, the wolf, belonged to her and her alone and always would. She’d been born connected to the spirit of the wolf. The hunter. Just because she’d had mutually satisfying, mind-numbing sex didn’t mean she shared the knowledge of Kiya with anyone. That especially included Josh Ander. He may have thought he’d seen a silver wolf—she was pretty sure she’d nipped that delusion in the bud—but how he’d managed to see Kiya in the first place when no one else ever had, nagged at the back of her mind.

She wasn’t sure what Josh’s sighting meant exactly.

The answer to that came from Kiya.

It means you have a strong connection to the man. He’s your destiny.

“Destiny with a multi-millionaire? That’s bullshit. That doesn’t even sound like me.”

Your destiny isn’t up to you, not entirely. Remember, the threads of your life and your future are intertwined.

“Since when? Come on. It’s all over the Internet people have reported seeing a lone, silver wolf hanging around urban Seattle. No way all of those sightings could be my destiny.”

Destiny means many things, Skye Cree. This city is your home, your community, part of your tribe. The people in it, all the people you interact with will eventually play a part in your future. There is a place in your future for Josh Ander whether you accept it or not.

“We need to put this aside for now and concentrate on finding Jenna Donofrio.”

Sadly, I sense Jenna’s spirit is no longer with us.

Skye stopped walking. She looked down at Kiya, met the wolf’s eyes. Violet locked into violet. Anger blocked the familiar instinct. “You might’ve mentioned that an hour ago. Jenna’s gone?”

She is. You needed this time for reflection before exploding into rage. Rage works against you. Fury and anger will get you nowhere.

Skye took deep breaths, tried for calm. “Tell me who is responsible.”

You already know that.

“Do not talk to me in riddles! Not now, not today. I want a name!”

Brandon Hiller followed her home from the grocery store. She went to get a can of soup. After her father left for work, he went back in the night and took her.

“What did he do with her body?”

You know I don’t see everything, Skye Cree.

“Damn it!” Skye yelled out loud to no one.
