that happen and we have kind of ignored the world for long enough.”
    Gandore nodded and looked back into the cave. “This is pretty and, I am sure we can make it work for now, but there are a few other caves close, mind if we spread out a little?”
    “Nah, that is what I figured,” Drakk said and then looked back out to the ocean. “You think they were right, about mates, I mean?”
    Gandore laughed and looked at his leader. “You know better than I do about the tales of mating. However, I would assume the way you and Jex are acting, that you are going to have to figure it out quick. If the tales are true, you and he will go into the mating heat in the next few weeks.”
    “I don’t have time for this shit, Jex can be her mate, and that should stop mine,” Drakk said.
    “Not sure that is the way it works, boss.” Gandore frowned.
    “Well it is going to,” Drakk said firmly and then stomped back into the cave.

    Aislinn opened one eye and then another and looked around. Where the hell was she? With a groan, she reached up and touched her head, expecting to feel a huge lump at least because of the headache that was plaguing her. There was nothing, damn it, she had not gotten drunk, she would totally have remembered that.
    Slowly she sat up and took in her surroundings. She was in a lush bedroom. Hell, it had to be one of the five star hotels in New Orleans, it was amazing. The walls were cream colored but the soft pinks and blues that decorated the room was enough to make her think of an old Victorian home. The curtains were heavy and thick, pink with blue swirls through it. The white four-poster bed and matching furniture looked older, because of the intricate carvings on them. The comforter was thick and light blue with blue flowers, the room was beautiful.
    “Ah, she is awake,” someone said and Aislinn tensed and looked at the doorway. Her eyes narrowed when she recognized the man. He had been in her shop with his other crazy friends, and although he was handsome, she knew he was crazy. Shit, she had been kidnapped by a lunatic.
    “Yes,” Aislinn said slowly. She didn’t want to freak out too much; if he were unstable enough to kidnap her then he could kill her just as fast.
    “Are you hungry?” he smiled at her.
    “Oh no,” don’t make eye contact , she thought. “I could really use a phone though...uh…”
    The man smiled again and nodded. “Jex, my name is Jex, yours is Aislinn, I already know. Going to have to wait on that, doll, first you need to eat, and then we need to talk with Drakk and the others.”
    The others ? she thought and looked around the room. Where were the others? How the hell did he know her name? Damn it, she needed to think. If she was in a hotel, she stood a good chance of making enough noise to draw attention to her problem. There was no way they could hide a screaming woman.
    “Well, Jex,” Aislinn said slowly again. “Maybe if I could just clean up then.” The bathroom, all of the fancy hotels had phones in the bathroom.
    The man scratched his head and nodded then looked around. There was only one door in the room. Wait, where was the bathroom ? she wondered and looked at the room again.
    The man started muttering to himself and rolled his eyes, Aislinn pulled the covers back up to her chest.
    “Duh, bathroom, why the hell is the no bathroom here,” the man said and turned in a circle.
    He snapped his fingers and smiled then looked at her and wiggled his eyebrows. “Your wish is my command.”
    “Huh?” she said slowly and then waited.
    The man pointed to the wall across from the bed and smiled bigger. There was a door where there hadn’t been one. What was going on? Drugs, they had drugged her. Damn it, she knew she should never have been in the store by herself. Always have a co-worker, that was her rule, but Samantha called in sick. Shit. She needed to get out of there, and she needed a drug test to nail these bastards.
    “Bathroom,” the man said
