Shots rang from the distance as Griff and Jo got to Felicia, but they were too late.

Ridge held the lifeless body of Felicia in his arms.

“This is my doing,” whispered Joanna. “If I had never come back, she would still be alive. I should never have come back,” tears filled her eyes.

Gus joined them. “If you hadn’t there wouldn’t be a soul alive,” he knelt next to Ridge and felt Felicia trying to and find a pulse. She was cold. “She’s gone, boy,” he touched Ridge’s naked arm. “Boy, she’s gone.”

“Get away from her!” Ridge rocked her cold body in his arms.

Jo and Griff exchange a glance. They looked at Gus.

“Do not tell anyone what you’re about to see,” she said.

Joanna morphed into her bear form and rubbed her body behind Ridge. He refused to move, so she nipped him at his nape and tugged him gently away from Felicia. When she transformed back into a human, Ridge slumped against Griff as Gus rubbed his eyes.

“Well, I’ll be damned.” The pact his ancestors had made had been true. “When you said you might need my help one day all those years ago, I didn’t think it was because you were one of those gifted ones.”

Jo looked at him as Griff led Ridge to the villa. “I don’t know if I would call what I am a gift,” she admitted.

Gus shook her shoulders. “You listen to me. There’s been a plague from here to Washington for the last umpteen generations. “You came because something called to you, didn’t it?”

Slowly, Joanna nodded.

“It called me back too,” Gus said. “That’s why I agreed to help you share your aura with the objects people brought to the town meetings.”

“They don’t know about me, do they?” Joanna asked.

“No,” said Gus. “I promised you if you needed me, I’d come, and here I am,” he smiled, his Santa-like eyes crinkling at the corners. “But there’s just one thing?”

Jo nodded, “Yes?”

“How is the town gonna be kept safe if there are more of those beasties around?”

“There is, one way,” Jo said quietly. “But I believe the Matheison men are the only ones who could help me to protect it.”

“Anything you can, do,” Gus said. “You want me to speak with them?”

“No, it’s something I should try and explain.” Though she wondered how she could ever convince two perfectly sane hunk of men that Smugglers’ Cove needs a coven of bear shifters to keep its residents safe.

“That’s the thing about sleepy coastal towns. You never get out to see the oceans much,” Gus said ruefully.

Jo asked what Gus he meant. Then he said he’d bring some townspeople to help take care of the remains of the fight. When they saw Felicia’s body dissolve like it was made of snowflakes.

Jo agreed she hadn’t seen much of the coast either.

“That’s what I mean,” said the chubby cheeked saloon owner. “All the damned Were-shifters.”
