Chapter 11

The sunlight streamed through the window, casting an early morning glow in the small bedroom. Pete was sound asleep with his long naked body spooned comfortably around Marianna in a familiar way. She hadn’t slept much that night and couldn’t stop thinking about the sound and feel of Pete’s voice touching her mind.

Tangled up in skin, she snuggled deeper into his embrace and ran her fingertips along his arm that draped over her possessively. Marianna closed her eyes and sighed contentedly, enjoying the feel of his bare skin pressed along hers, and then she heard it.

Marianna.

It was faint at first and sounded muffled and far away, but she recognized it immediately. It was her mother’s voice. The warm, familiar sound flitted along the edges of her mind.

Marianna. Her pleading grew louder and resonated through Marianna’s mind. Can you hear me?

Yes. Marianna reached out and touched her mind with relief. Yes, Mother. I can hear you.

Pete said something incoherent in his sleep and tightened his grip. She whispered soothing sounds and kissed his cheek as she slipped out of bed. “I have to use the bathroom. I’ll be right back.”

As silently as possible, Marianna pulled on her white pajamas and went into the living room, closing the door quietly, careful not to disturb Pete. She stood at the center of the room and closed her eyes, focusing on following the comforting path to her mother.

I’ve been so worried. Are you alright? I thought you were like those other girls who’ve gone missing, but Dante kept assuring me that you’re okay. Her voice quivered, and Marianna could tell she was crying. I can hardly use telepathy anymore since your father died, and I’ve been so lonely without you.

I’m so sorry, Mother. Marianna wiped away a tear and struggled to maintain the connection. I want you to know that I’m alright. I’m better than alright… my mate found me.

Marianna, that’s wonderful. What clan is he from? Marianna…

Her mother’s voice faded, as the connection dissolved and vanished.

Mother? Mother, can you hear me?

Marianna tried to reestablish the link, but to no avail. She wandered to the window and stared at the snow-covered woods. She wondered if the connection was lost due to her abilities coming back sporadically or her mother’s waning powers.

She glanced at the bedroom door, focused her energy, and reached for Pete’s energy signature. Lightning flashed in her mind as his spiritual fingerprint connected with hers. She sucked in a shuddering breath and grinned as her body was energized by him… and something else.

It felt as though there was another layer to his energy—or hers—she wasn’t sure why, but she chalked it up to being mated. She knew that all Amoveo’s energy signatures changed once they were mated, so maybe that was it? She wanted to try telepathy to reach Dante, but she knew he’d be pissed that her powers were back and worried that Artimus would find her.

Let him, she thought. He’d get a face full of bear claw.

Grinning, and too excited for words, Marianna looked at the snowy trees and frozen lake.
