Wachei asked her.
    “Sure. I know you must be anxious to see Eryn again. Let me
have a cup of coffee and then we can leave.”
    Wachei left Edensaw and Cassidy to continue downstairs while
he went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. That done, he returned to his room
to grab a jacket. This time he would dress more appropriately than he had the
day before. He still wore jeans and a t-shirt, but he’d added hiking boots and
a lined nylon jacket as well. He also grabbed the new compound bow he used for
hunting and a quiver of arrows. The set he had used during the ice ages was
carefully packed away along with his clothes and furs from that time.
    Twenty minutes had gone by since Wachei had spoken to his
alpha and his mate so he headed out of his room and down the stairs to see if
Cassidy was ready to go. She was and stood waiting for him by the front door
along with Edensaw. The mated pair always went together everywhere, neither one
of them wanting to suffer through the separation anxiety that would take hold
of them if they were to part for any length of time. It was something all mated
werewolves could experience. It also wasn’t supposed to be fun to go through.
Each one would think something bad had happened to the other, which caused them
to think they’d been away for longer than they actually had. All they would
care about was being together again, and if they were separated long enough,
they reconnected in the most intimate of ways.
    “All ready to go?” Cassidy asked once Wachei had joined her
and Edensaw.
    “Yes. You can drop me off at the same place as yesterday.
I’ll go wolf and run the rest of the way.”
    “Okay. And you have your cell phone, right?” Once he pulled
it out of his pocket to show Cassidy, she nodded. “Good. Call me when you want
to be picked up.”
    He wouldn’t have forgotten his cell. Wachei still intended
to get Eryn to show him how to use it better. It would be another excuse to
keep her with him.
    Once they arrived at the place and Cassidy had pulled over
onto the shoulder of the road, Wachei got out and waved to her and Edensaw
before heading out to the grassed area. Clear of the road, he reached for the
spark of magic inside him and went wolf.
    Even in this form he had to watch that mortals didn’t get a
good look at him if they happened to cross paths, which hadn’t happened yet.
Except for Eryn, but Wachei was sure she hadn’t really seen him well enough.
Being a dire wolf, an animal that had been extinct for ten thousand years,
there was some difference between him and the native gray wolves. His legs were
a bit shorter and sturdier than theirs, and his head was larger and broader.
Also, his teeth were slightly bigger as well.
    Wachei broke into a fast run as he headed for the tree line.
He didn’t slow when he entered the wooded area. Once he was clear of it, he
drew himself back until he came to a stop. He’d have to go the rest of the way
as a man just in case Eryn was already waiting for him. Wachei didn’t think
that would be the case since he’d planned on being early.
    He shifted, willing his clothes back on. The compound bow
and quiver of arrows appeared at the same time. He then walked the rest of the
way. With the wind blowing in his face, Wachei couldn’t smell Eryn’s scent,
which meant she hadn’t shown up yet.
    Arriving at the place where Eryn had parked her pickup,
Wachei looked down the road she’d be using. He didn’t have long to wait before
he saw her truck. He smiled as she drove off the asphalt and onto the grass
before she turned off the engine. He closed some of the distance between them
once Eryn got out.
    “Hi, Wachei,” she said.
    “Hi. I’m glad you could make it. Are you ready for your
first lesson?”
    Her gaze landed on the compound bow and she nodded. “Yes.
I’m looking forward to it. So where do you want to do this? I didn’t bring
anything to set up as targets, and from the looks of it, you don’t have any
with you
