Not Just Another Fae (Vegas Fae Stories Book 4) Read Online Free

hint of the missing Weres. There were, however, several
more people driving through the area. It was mostly just cars on the road, but
closer to the actual town at the top of the mountain, there were several
motorcycle riders using the trails. We wouldn’t be able to search out here much
longer; at least not in the daylight. Even with the rain coming, there were
still too many people out here.
    Although I could detect the energy a live person or animal
emanated as they moved around within the field of my senses, any residual
energy left behind when they were gone usually dissipated pretty fast. Dark
magic, with evil intent, lasted a bit longer. But I hadn’t caught a whiff of
anything like that out here. Still, there were beings that weren't easy to
sense; like me for instance. As a High Fae I couldn’t be recognized like
regular Fae. It was rare, but I wasn't the only magical creature that was like
that. If there was something else out here, I was just going to have to wait
and see if it appeared. Shaking my head, with nothing else I could think of to
do, I went back to the car and waited.
    It wasn’t too long before she and Charlie returned. It was
my first real glimpse of her as a Wolf. Her fur was light tan, with brown and
black mixed in. Darker on the top of her body, then growing lighter toward her
belly and legs. Her face had gray in it and she was a little smaller than
Charlie. If I had to guess I would have put her at about 115 pounds, pretty
close to her weight as a human. I watched as she began to shift and then popped
open the back door to grab her clothes.
    "You guys find anything?" I asked, handing them to
her.
    "They were here," she replied as she pulled on her
pants. "We found some of Darren's fur on a few bushes near the hill and
his blood on some of the rocks. No sign of Liz, though. They were going west,
into the mountains. From what Charlie says, their trail heads south of the
village, but it's too risky to go there in the daylight. I couldn't smell
anything. With the storms moving in again, the wind is blowing the wrong way,
and last night's rain washed away any scent."
    "We should return when there are less humans,"
Charlie said, hopping into the back seat.
    By village, I assumed he meant the actual Cold Creek housing
area. There were quite a few cabins there, as well as the three ponds. Those
were stocked with fish and there'd be a few anglers there by now, trying to get
in a little fishing before the storm returned. The area between Mt Charleston
and Cold Creek had very few inhabitants, but both housing areas were well populated
and many folks hiked and enjoyed the outdoors near the two communities.
    "Okay," I said as I handed her the keys. "Take
us back to Corn Creek and we'll figure out what to do next."
    "What about Martin?" she asked a little while
later. "You said you had a way to contact him."
    "I do," I replied as we approached the main road. A
few scattered raindrops were already appearing on the windshield. "Pull
over here."
    As she did so, I sent out a mental call to Sendy, the Aurae.
    "Yes, my Lord," Sendy said a moment later from the
back seat next to Charlie.
    "Whoa!" Jen exclaimed as she heard Sendy's voice
behind her. "Who the hell is that?"
    "Sendy, this is Jen," I said. "Jen is a
Werewolf. She's part of Martin's pack. Jen, this is Sendy, a sky Fae. She can
take a message to him."
    "A pleasure to meet you," Sendy replied, slipping
a t-shirt over her head. "I am familiar with your Pack Master. What
message is it you need carried?"
    "Sendy," I began. "We need you to tell Martin
that we think his missing Weres came this way. Jennifer found some of Darren's
fur on this side of the highway but we can't go any further this time of day
and more rain is coming. I need to know if he's found anything there and what
he wants her to do. Charlie and I will come back out here later tonight,
weather permitting, but it's his call as far as his people are concerned."
    "Martin went toward the Sheep
