    give him the children his tribe depended on. Children he suddenly yearned for, almost as much as he craved the feel of her flesh welcoming him into her heat.
    His tribe needed her. Cheveyo, often solemn but now relaxed with her in his arms, needed her. And he needed her, body and soul.
    He had to convince her she needed them every bit as much.
    She had fought them with all the strength she had. He’d recognized a desperation in her that puzzled him. Her body had eagerly responded to their touch, opening like the great, golden flower unfurling its petals as it rose to meet the summer sun. But her mind had refused to give in, even as her voice had echoed with fear.
    Cheveyo spoke softly. “She is more afraid of herself than she is of us.”
    Tate had long since given up being surprised when the shaman read his thoughts.
    “But what is it she fears? We offer her greatness—mate of both warrior and shaman, mother to our sons and daughters.”
    “At what price comes greatness? For our huntress, it would mean leaving behind the friends, the land she knows. The life she knows. Fear is not an unreasonable response.”
    Tate stalked over to tower over them. “It is the way of our people. She will learn to love her new tribe, and her new life.”
    He crouched down, one hand reaching out possessively to stroke the smooth skin of her cheek. He’d never thought to feel this way for a woman. To crave the feel of her skin under his and the thrill of the sound of his voice on her tongue. Now he had found her, there was no chance he’d let her go.
    She’d already captured his heart. He just had to convince her to keep it.

    Through the darkness she ran. Looking down, she saw her body was a translucent wraith of smoke. She ran not on the earth but across the moonlit sky.
    Beside her came the thud, thud, thud of a steady-beating heart. It echoed loudly in the dark and drowned out any sounds of the world below them. Turning her head, she found she ran alongside the specter of the Great Spirit, he who watched over the earth and her people. Awestruck, she stopped to face the spirit form of the totem.
    Greetings, Great Father. She bowed her head in respectful welcome. Her lips of mist did not move, yet the words hung in the air between them.
    Greetings, my huntress . His head nodded briefly in return. He studied her for a long moment. Run with me. While the night wind swirled across the skies, she found herself again stretching her legs with the mighty spirit.
    For long moments, they raced through the night. As their shadows rushed across the ground far below, she saw the Great Plains fall away behind them and the northern hills begin to form ahead. Soon they were crossing them, and ahead stretched the vast length of the Rock Yellow River.
    Along its banks, she could see a large camp settled on the edge of the river. It was near winter this far north, and she knew the people here had begun the trip to their winter lands.
    The Great Spirit stopped above the sleeping tribe. His voice carried both compassion and hope when he spoke again. Look closely at my people, Huntress. Tell me what you see.
    She studied the lodges carefully. They seemed well-formed, and well-cared for.
    Several fires smoldered in the dark, the flames keeping pots simmering throughout the cold night. She could see guards on the outskirts, keeping watch over the families that slept
