packed . You’ll be staying at the main house. No arguments .”
Rafe pulled out his cell phone to call Ian. Once he explained the situation to him , he asked about Robert and the guards.
“He hasn’t come back yet. Probably because time between here and Faerie gets so screwed up. I’ll take care of everything here. Hurry back,” said Ian.
As they went upstairs, Stephanie was once again trying to reassure Lisa. Sitting on the bed, they were both quiet gathering their thoughts.
Lisa spoke first. “ I should go back home. There’s no need for me to go stay at some stranger’s house.”
“Besides the fact that you two belong together, I think you might be in danger now. Rafe will explain it better than me, but basically, this guy you saw could be unseelie . You ’ re in danger of being taken to be used as a hostage.”
“ Why me? Not to be heartless , but why me and why now? There is a whole den of you guys , so what’s so special about me?” Lisa asked.
Stephanie sighed. “Shi fters can fight pretty darn well . I’m stronger now than I ever was as a human. You though, are vulnerable. The fae can see mate connections , I was told. Since you and Rafe haven’t done the deed, that guy could see that and he would know that he could use you . That would put the pack in jeopardy as shifters would give everything to protect their mate.”
“But what does he want?” asked Lisa.
“The waters. If he could get access to the pond, he could use the magic there. I don’t know how or what he would do, but I do know that it would make him magically stronger,” Stephanie said fearfully.
“I’ll go, but I’d better have my own room. I am not sleeping with him,” she stated firmly.
Stephanie grinned, “But you don’t know what you’re missing. Sex with your mate is amazing.”
“No, no, no. I do not want to hear about your sex life. Us talking when you were still single is one thing. Too much information and I’ll blush every time I see Colin,” Lisa said with red cheeks.
“Ok ay , guess I’ll just wait until you’re mated and we can compare notes,” Stephanie said outrageously. “By the way. Ever lose it in class with your students? I’m just curious because I heard words out of your mouth even a sailor doesn’t use.”
“Oh shut up, I’m always in complete control in class. Only around ‘mystic creatures’ do I let loose,” Lisa protested.
Finished packing, Lisa went to see if Stephanie needed help packing for the girls. Once done, they hauled their suitcases into the living room. Lisa made sure she had all the things she needed for her kitten.
Rafe turned to take Lisa’s bags, intending to put them in his vehicle. Following him outside, she realized he expected her to ride with him.
“You can put them in my car; I’m not leaving it here.”
“You won’t need your car. I’ll take you anywhere you need to go,” said Rafe.
“I’m a big girl, Rafe. If I want to drive myself, I will. I don’t like the thought of not having my car with me. And you’d better make sure your wolves know my kitten is a pet, not lunch.”
“I would suggest you keep it in your room. They’re not used to having tiny felines around.”
Rafe moved to put her bags in her car. This was not worth arguing about. His dad always told him to pick his battles. He was just glad she was going. He thought having her car gave her freedom. He did not want her to feel like a prisoner.
Rafe got in his Tahoe with Lisa following in her car. Stephanie and Colin were behind her in his sheriffs SUV. He had called his parents and they would meet them at the castle with the girls.
Lisa followed with mixed feelings. She was still reeling from all the revelations she had heard in the last hour. One day , I’m a single teacher leading a boring life, next I’m supposedly a mate to some wolf. Oh, and fairies are real.
