inquired.
“Yes, now get showered so we can take Sadie
to Seattle before she bugs me to death.” He sat up rubbing his head.
“You know she is going to leave our
pack and join his, right?” I saw it in my vision. The look Kai and her share as
she walks towards her mate, it was a look of goodbye. “Will you miss her?” I
add delicately.
“I’m happy for Sadie, and if she
wants to join Seattle pack I will grant it.” He shut the door. Okay, didn’t
exactly answer my question. I needed to find out more about Sadie from Emma. I
was starting to recognize something else about my newly changed self,
something I never had before. Jealousy.
Goodbye
God, being a werewolf was so
political! Because we pissed off the Portland pack recently, we were denied
access to travel through Portland to Seattle, which just meant we had to take
some different freeways. Sadie was rubbing her hands on her legs nervously. I
was staring out the window at the beautiful green scenery when I felt a
tingling sensation in my head. I tried to ignore it, but Kai could sense
something.
“Aurora?” he asked from the driver seat
next to me.
Before I could answer, a vision slammed into
me. Sylvia was standing over a large oak table littered with small bottles and
crushed powders, a tall and very pale man in a grey silk suit stood beside her.
The man’s eyes began to glow violet.
“Tell me what you know of a person called
the Matefinder. Where is she?” His voice was trancelike. Sylvia shook her head
and frowned. A fine mist leaked from her skin like a protective bubble.
“How dare you try to use compulsion
on me! I’m a High Priestess!” She clutched a medallion on her chest. “You are
here to pay a blood debt. Pay and then be on your way!”
Anger flared in the man’s face, but he
extended his wrist to pay the debt.
I was suddenly aware of Kai growling in
front of my face. The car had been pulled over and Sadie was peeking from the
back seat at me, while Kai hovered over my face.
“Aurora!” He shook me.
“I’m here, I’m fine,” I shouted.
He sat back. “I’ll never get used to
this. You go all zombie on me and I can’t reach your mind. I don’t like this.
What happened?”
I chewed a nail. “Do vampires have
purple eyes when they are using compulsion?” I queried.
Kai’s eyes went yellow. “Yes, they
do. Please tell me you are not having visions of vampires doing compulsion on
you!” he roared.
“Wow, so vampires are real.” I
pondered with a mixture of excitement and fear.
“Aurora, what happened?” Kai pushed
again.
I quickly explained, but didn’t give
him details, and had to talk him out of driving over to Sylvia’s.
“This day is about Sadie. She is
going to meet her mate. Meeting with Sylvia can wait.”

Apparently the Seattle Alpha and Kai
went way back. They used to be in the same pack together in New Mexico. When we
entered a large grassy park, I could see the space needle peeking out in the
background, just like my vision. A man and a woman stood near a picnic table
with a large group of people further back in the grassy area playing soccer.
“Shamus!” Kai embraced the large man
with a red, shaggy beard.
“Kai! My brother.” Shamus returned the
hug. “You didn’t say much over the phone, just that this visit involved a
possible mate for one of my wolves. All of my guys are in a frenzy with
excitement.”
“Well, it’s a long story, but my
newly changed mate, Aurora, had to see a witch about something. Sadie
was there, and the witch did a palm reading for Sadie and said her mate might
be in the Seattle pack.”
He doesn’t trust him? I thought.
‘I trust Shamus with my life, but not
his mate,’ Kai told
me.
Interesting.
Shamus stepped towards me and
extended his hand. “You must be Aurora. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” He smiled
genuinely and I was careful to make
