CHAPTER 8

Rainna was torn between wanting to stay in the mountains with Trey and her need to return to the normal, civilized world she had left behind. From the moment she'd caught the discrepancy in the medication, her life had been turned upside down. Why she had ever thought it would return to some normalcy once the trial was over, she had no idea.

What if the council members turned Trey's request down and wouldn't allow her to stay in Vampyre Falls? What if they did approve the petition? Then she would have to face her elemental responses to Carson and Donovan, which she found so confusing.

She walked along the shore on the other side of the lake toward the falls. Trey would just be getting off his shift, as he had told her earlier in the day. She was still so shaken by her responses to Donovan that she tried even harder to control the hormones raging through her body whenever she was near the "wolf brothers," as she had dubbed them in her mind.

Since she had been in Vampyre Falls she'd met other shapeshifters, vampires, and a government-created species known as shadowwalkers. There were many odd creatures she couldn't even begin to name.

The government had apparently once again become frightened of what they could not understand or control. She was surprised at how many different species existed, some she had only read about in myths and stories and was now 55

discovering for the first time that they really did exist. It was enough to boggle the mind.

But again her question was how she fit into the scheme of things? Could she find a place for herself in their world?

She looked up and saw Trey waiting for her. He was talking with another man, a dark, shadowy figure with skin as pale as the snow on the mountain peak. They both turned to look at her as she drew closer.

Trey's brooding eyes were on her as she finally reached them. She could tell there was something on his mind. He reached for her and possessively enfolded her into his arms, leaning down to kiss her. She felt the familiar heat rise inside her and, as she leaned into his kiss, she wondered how long it would be before the other man left them alone. She was not about to have a repeat performance as she'd had with Donovan.

The control she'd been trying to exert over the last couple of days was beginning to crumble, and she had a feeling she wouldn't be able to fight her emotions much longer.

Trey drew back and turned to look at the other pale-faced man. Rainna's eyes widened when she saw that he had pointed ears.

"Rainna, this is Morganna's husband. You remember I told you about her. She's the main healer here in Vampyre Falls.

This is Kellen. Kel, this is Rainna. My mate."

Kellen offered a hand and Rainna reached out to clasp it, trying not to shudder at the coldness of the clasp.
