Chapter Eight: Kayden

When Kayden woke, everything was dark. At first he couldn’t say what had disturbed him.

He was in bed with Sidney. Her warm body was resting in his arms. The heightened senses of his bear picked up her slow, regular heartbeat, and he could feel the heat of her breath exhaled against his shoulder.

He was comfortable. He was with his mate. Everything was as it should be.

But something was wrong.

Slowly, that niggling sense of urgency in him grew.

Silently, he slipped from her embrace without disturbing her. Still naked, he moved towards the window. By the light of the moon, he could make out her garden. The grass was already a little too long because Sidney was too busy with the wedding chaos. His eyes moved along the small patch of lovingly tended flowers and herbs, then past the two small apple trees she told him she’d only planted last year.

The garden was empty.

After a moment, a rabbit crossed the lawn. It vanished beneath Sidney’s roses, and then everything was still and silent once more.

Kayden kept watch. The strange urgency in him had not left.

When nothing else had happened after a minute had passed, he gave Sidney a considering look. He didn’t want to leave her—not like this, without a word. What would she think if she woke during the night and found him gone?

Still, the senses of his bear could not be denied. For much of his life, his bear had kept him alive.

If his bear thought that something was wrong, Kayden had to believe him. After all, if something—or someone—had trailed him here, then Sidney was in danger too.

On bare feet, he walked silently out of her bedroom. When he came to the patio door, the garden was still silent and undisturbed, a vision of peace in the silver light of the moon.

I need to— his bear began.

Yes, Kayden agreed quietly.

For once, he and his bear were in agreement.

As one, they slipped out of the patio door and closed it silently behind them. The grass was a little wet beneath their feet, the wind cool, carrying the tantalizing scents of the creatures of the forest.

Carefully, he walked through Sidney’s garden until he reached the small creek at the end that divided it from the forest. He crossed the creek easily. A heartbeat later, he had vanished silently into the underbrush of the forest as though he’d never been here.

Once he was safe from human eyes, he stopped and took a deep breath.

Shifting came naturally to him. He’d known how to shift back and forth without effort long before he’d spoken his first word. It was not truly a change to him, just as some people could easily switch between languages. He was both bear and human. It took no more than a single thought to shift from one form to the other.

One moment, his thoughts and his senses were those of a human—the next moment, instead of his bare feet, he stood on the wet moss on four paws, and his thoughts and his senses were those of the bear.
