packs.”
“True mates,” Crina said in awe.
“Exactly,” Peri agreed.
“How are you going to find them and once you do, how are you going to bring them here?” Sorin asked. “Some of them are minors; you can’t just take them from their families.”
P eri rolled her eyes. “You’ve forgotten a tiny detail, Sorin,” she paused for effect and then said with a sly grin as she pointed to herself, “High fae, ůbber powerful. I think I can handle causing five gypsy healers to disappear with no problems.”
“So when do we start?” Elle asked.
“This isn’t going to be some exciting, adrenaline inducing, life threatening hunt,” she looked from Elle to Adam, “you still want to help?”
Adam shrugged as he wrapped an arm around Crina’s waist. “I suppose one tame mission a year isn’t too much to ask.”
Peri chuckled, “How magnanimous of you Adam.”
He grinned showing perfect, white teeth. “I have my moments.”
“I will talk with Rachel and Sally tomorrow and see if any of their magic can help locate others of their kind. We’ll meet at lunchtime and go over what I’ve learned and decide the next course of action.”
“Do you want to involve any of the other high fae?” Elle asked.
Peri thought about the question, considering the possibility that having others with considerable power might help. But then something inside her told her that she needed to keep the knowledge of the young healers as quiet as possible for as long as possible. “No, I think this information needs to stay among us. Rachel and Sally will be the only others that know. Healers are valuable, and until they are safely under our protection it would be better if others weren’t made aware of them.”
“Sounds like a plan,” Adam said as he took his mate’s hand. “Since we won’t be leaving tonight, Crina and I are going to turn in. We’ll see you all tomorrow at lunch.” Without another word he flashed and he and Crina were gone.
“We will take our leave as well,” Sorin said as he wrapped an arm around Elle and she flashed them from the field.
Peri look from the empty space where the couples had stood to Lucian. “I can’t believe Adam left without any bedroom commentary,” she shook her head, “I almost feel as if he’s going to suddenly pop up and say something completely disgusting.”
Lucian frowned slightly. “I am not used to everyone being so open about their intimate relationships with their mates.” His frown deepened as he continued. “When we arrived Adam was practically…,”
“Licking his mate like a man on death row licks the fork of his last bite of his last meal?” Peri interjected.
Lucian eyed her dubiously. “Exactly. Wolves touch their mates freely and often, but I do not ever remember seeing mated pairs talk so open about their intimacy.”
Peri tried not to laugh at the confused look on Lucian’s face. “Well, you might want to get use to the whole touchy feely thing because more than likely we’ll be going to America in our hunt for the healers.”
“What does that mean?” he asked as he took her hand and they once again headed back towards the Romanian mansion on foot instead of flashing.
“It means you ain’t seen nothing yet. And I totally mean that literally.”
Chapter 4
“There shall only be certain females chosen in a bloodline to become healers. The healer’s spirit will be pure and her heart will be selfless. Life shall flow out of her like healing water into the Pack that she serves. She will bring hope where there has been none, light where darkness has taken over and peace where turmoil has reigned. She is to be treasured and protected from all malevolence because there is no greater depravity than to take something meant for good and glorify evil with it.” ~The Great Luna
