And we’re here to put an end to this.
He paused in flight and she watched him take a good look around. It’s just like your memories.
He then glanced at her with a crooked smile. How about we have some fun?
Something inside Olivia’s chest lit on fire. What are you thinking?
I want you to bite the bitch again.
With pleasure. When he flew her to the opposite side of the camp and landed on the ground, she stepped off his foot, shifting to wolf at the same time.
I’ll walk beside you, Olivia. Just lead the way.
CHAPTER SIX
Zane loved Olivia’s adventurous spirit and he didn’t know why it had never occurred to him to seriously date a wolf woman before. Of course, Olivia was half-human, which he knew meant that her shifter nature was modified. On the other hand, most of the shifter women he knew didn’t date much outside their packs.
Olivia got to him well beyond the fact that she was a blood rose. He felt her determination, for one thing. She’d zeroed in on Margetta and nothing would deter her.
He wisely followed Olivia’s lead as she circled around any number of out-of-control wraith-pairs. The camp had a feeling of chaos about it. And why would the community of Invictus be anything else? Wraith-bonding of this type, created by Margetta herself, brought out the worst in the wraiths and those Realm-folk with whom they’d bonded.
He had to duck more than once when something flew through the air.
When they were within fifteen feet of Margetta, he pathed, take one nip and the moment she jumps, turn south. I’ll levitate with you, tracking right above you. How far away is the southern wall?
About thirty yards.
That’s not very far. We’ll be cutting it close.
But we can do this, she pathed. Do you trust me?
Hell, yeah. And he meant it.
On my signal, I’ll leap into your arms. Just be ready to catch me.
Can you shift at the same time or will I be catching wolf?
She chuckled. I can shift. After you’ve got me, though, be sure to levitate straight up and take us over the spell wall. I’ll guide us. She paused for a moment, then added, Maybe I should just take her down and rip out her jugular.
Don’t even think it, Olivia. She’d probably fry you with her battle frequency and you’d be dead before you closed your maw around her throat. And even if you did sever her jugular, the woman has tremendous self-healing abilities; she’d survive.
I thought as much, but I couldn’t resist at least entertaining the idea.
With the plan set, and no other Invictus pairs close by, she raced forward and bit Margetta on the back of her heel again.
The Ancient Fae shrieked in a loud voice that hurt Zane’s ears.
As Olivia turned south, she began to run fast, leaving behind some kind of track that only the Ancient Fae could see.
For the cloak to hold, he had to stay right with Olivia. He levitated and flew as she bounded toward the south wall.
Ready to catch me?
Yep.
He put on a jolt of speed and held his arms out. He watched her muzzle lift, her wolf eyes meeting him.
Now! she shouted within his mind.
