The ground was cold, and her body was still in the ‘run for your life’ stage when she started shivering. The bear just moved closer; it seemed to be trying to protect her from the chilly night air or maybe just getting ready to eat her.
    “Sage? Sage, are you okay?” Me-Len called out.
    “Yes, but the bear won’t let me get up.” Sage watched as the bear shifted, and in its place was the man who even now made her so wet between the legs she couldn’t control the moan she made as she looked up at him when he got up. To make matters worse, his big thing was growing in size as she gazed at it, and this time it wasn’t constrained by clothing.
    One minute she was lying on the ground, the next she was being lifted in Brody’s arms. The man was hard across the chest but his skin was as smooth as a baby’s bottom, and so warm. “What are you doing?”
    “Taking you home,” Brody answered.
    “I’m not going home with you,” Sage snapped, angered. If this man thought he was just going to take her home and have his way with her, he had no idea who she was. “Who do you think you are?”
    “Your mate,” Brody answered, like it was something she was just going to have to accept. Her whole body tensed up. Did he just say I was his mate? No, no, no, she thought. Sage didn’t even pause to think. As soon as she saw Me-Len, she hit Brody hard in the nose and rolled out of his arms. Then she clasped her hands over her head as the magic sparkled above her.
    “Why did you hit me?” Brody yelled out holding his nose.
    “Don’t move, Brody. You’ve angered her and she’s scared.” Me-Len held out her hand toward him, but Brody moved forward. That’s when Sage casted out her magic, slamming him backward against the trees. Everyone in the woods froze as Sage waited to see if he was going to come at her again.
    “Sage, please don’t do that again. I know you don’t understand what’s going on, but—”
    With her attention on Me-Len, Brody grabbed her from the side. He didn’t hurt her, but this time her hands were caged in one of his above her head as his other arm circled her waist.
    “Listen, my little witch, I’m not trying to hurt you, but you’re my mate and I know you feel it, too. Tell me you don’t feel it.”
    Sage’s heart was beating so hard it was hard to catch her breath. She couldn’t lie to him for some reason. What the hell? “It doesn’t matter what I feel. My mother is most likely being tortured right now, and all you can think about is getting your dick in me. That’s all I can think of—getting her out of there.”
    She couldn’t stop it when the first tear fell; then the dam broke and the snotty sobs came. She didn’t think he was going to let her go, but he released her arms and picked her up, carrying her out of the woods without another word. Me-Len and the others all followed as Brody opened a car door and sat down inside with her. Stroking her hair, he held her tighter as Me-Len got in beside them. She picked up her hand as Brody petted her like a child.
    “Home, Lex,” Brody said to the driver. Her body was so tired from all the stress and running for her life that she moved closer as the heat that came off of him. It felt so good that she didn’t remember falling asleep.

    T he last thing she remembered was falling asleep in Brody’s arms. Now she was awake, wondering where she was and how she got here. Looking around, Sage realized she was in a bedroom under some of the softest covers she’d ever touched. A nearby clock showed that she had only been asleep for an hour. She heard talking in another room but couldn’t make out what they were saying. Turning her head she could see a bathroom, and reluctantly she got up from the warm bed. She needed to get her head on straight. Her mom was her only concern and with everything that happened, what did she do? She fell asleep in the arms of a shifter. Guilt was a normal fixture with her like every emotion she had, but
