way through the caving system. There were nooks and crannies in the mountains that even the most experienced cavers did not know about. He could go back and get the computer and the other things he had stolen from the army camp. His senses told him that they were amassing already to come and find him. It would only be a matter of time. He walked toward the back passageway and then glanced at the cave he had called one of his homes for a long time. It might not have been the most comfortable one, but it was the closest one to his Kaylana . Saying goodbye to it, he was saying goodbye to the woman he had loved for so long.
     

Chapter Six
     
    Alika slowly opened her eyes. She was aware of the world moving and swaying in the darkness and was nestled up to a very hairy male. As she inhaled, Alika realized that it was Phillip. The last thing she remembered was being chased by men with guns, trying to distract them so that he could escape. He had told her to stay put, but after he took so long she had a bad feeling so she went down to see if there was anything she could do. However, she had not assumed that they would be ready for her. The military had almost caught her on the vehicles they had used to chase her. Phillip must have distracted them because when she glanced behind her only one of them was following her. On foot she had lured the other one away, but he had wounded her. The pain had been a shock. She had lost her footing and hit her head. After that, she did not remember anything. When she looked up and saw nothing but darkness, she guessed that they were underground and that Phillip was carrying her. When she moved, pain shot from her shoulder all the way down her arm. I have to be hurt worse than I realize.
    Squinting, Alika tried to see where she was going. Her eyes adjusted so she could only make out darker shades of black. She placed a hand on Phillip’s shoulder, and he stopped.
    “Where are we going?” she asked.
    He grunted. “ You’ve been unconscious for several hours. We’re heading to another cave where I hope they won’t find us.”
    Alika nodded. It was a good decision for them to move. “I’m sorry I brought these problems down on your shoulders.”
    “It’s not a problem. Men are meddlesome. This isn’t the first time I’ve been hunted, and it won’t be the last. How are you feeling?”
    “Okay. You can put me down now.” She ran her fingers through his pelt and over his snout. He pulled his lips back into a snarl, but she figured it was a smile. It was also apparent that he was getting aroused from his large member poking her side.
    Phillip set her down gently. “ Stay close to me. We’re at a perilous part of the journey. It won’t be much longer now.”
    “Do you have any light?”
    He bellowed and then fumbled for something. After a second the sudden illumination hurt her eyes, but it allowed her to see. They were in a very tight space that her savior had to stoop in. When she looked down, they were on a very thin ledge that wound around the crag they were on. The path was about to open up in a few steps. Phillip carried a couple of items. Maybe some of them were the things he had obtained from her ship. He handed the light to her so she could examine her wounds. They were dressed. Alika felt the bump on the back of her head and the dried blood that matted her hair. The tight quarters and being so far underground were stifling. She could only imagine what Phillip was feeling in his second form.
    “Thank you. Lead the way.”
    He nodded and then squeezed through the narrow space. Alika was surprised that he was able to because it was challenging to press between the constricted passageway . They finally came to where the ledge turned into an open expanse. She swung her light around, and the darkness swallowed the illumination. The grotto seemed to go on forever. If she listened, she could hear the sound of running water. It had to be an underground river. That must have been where
