out eating when I spotted him through the window.”
    “Are you sure it was him?” Donovan asked, again, his voice very quiet.
    “Oh yes, I’m positive it was the Teacher. There’s no mistaking that man. He’s been in my life for nearly twenty years. I could spot him in a crowd just by the way he walks. Besides, I’ve been expecting him.”
    “You’ve been expecting him?” Chase asked in surprise.
    “He’s been looking for me ever since I escaped two years ago. I knew that if I stayed in one place for too long, he’d find me.” Nate sent his mate a small smile before looking back at Chase. “Joe convinced me to stick around this time.”
    “But how did he find you?”
    “There are others like me. The Teacher has a whole group of us. Some have used their abilities to keep him away from me. Some have not. I assume that is how he found me. But mostly I think it’s because I stayed in one place for more than a few days.”
    Chase sat forward in his chair, his hands knotting together. “There are more of you? Where are they, and why haven’t we heard about this before now?”
    “The Teacher moves us around a lot, so I’m not real sure where they are right now. And I suppose the reason you haven’t heard about us is the same reason not many people know about you. Sometimes, it’s better to keep things hidden.”
    Chase nodded. “I can understand that. But I’m curious, what about these others like you? Is the Teacher holding them hostage as well?”
    “Most of them, yes. But there are a few of them that like the life that the Teacher provides for them. We call them the Teacher’s pets. They like the money and power that they get from doing exactly what he says. The rest though, their lives are pretty much hell.”
    Donovan watched tears form in Nate’s eyes right before he bent his head. Joe’s arms immediately went around him, comforting him. He wondered if it could be that way between him and Jim. If they were mated, would he be able to hold Jim whenever he wanted? Would Jim allow it? Donovan had never been a cuddler in the past, but he could see himself going in that direction if it meant having his mate’s arms wrapped around him.
    “I had always hoped to go back for them, the ones that don’t want to be there. I just don’t know how,” Nate said a moment later, raising his head back up. “I don’t know where they are, and I’m certainly not strong enough to get them away from the Teacher and his army of guards.”
    “Is there any way to get them a message?” Donovan asked curiously.
    “No”—Nate’s forehead wrinkled—”well, maybe. But I couldn’t guarantee it would get to them or that the others wouldn’t get the message or even intercept it.”
    “How?” Donovan sat forward on the couch, clenching his hands together to keep anyone from seeing them shake. “How can you get a message to them?”
    “Okay, this is going to sound funny, but I’d have to…meditate. Some of the students have telepathy. If they were receiving at the same time I was sending, they might get the message, especially if they were close by.”
    “How close?” Donovan asked, the beginnings of a plan forming in his mind.
    Nate shrugged. “I’m not sure exactly. Justin has been known to read someone as far away as five hundred miles. So, within a few hundred miles at least. The closer the better.”
    “Justin?”
    “Justin Reid. He’s my best friend. He’s a telepath. Justin can read someone’s thoughts. The Teacher uses him mostly for business meetings and mergers. He also takes Justin with him when he’s discussing a deal with someone to make sure that they’re being truthful with him and not hiding anything. Justin has been keeping me safe for a while now.”
    “Safe? How?”
    Nate smiled. “He sends me messages every once in a while, telling me when to leave a certain area or to avoid certain people.”
    “If he can do this, why didn’t he warn you about the Teacher this time?” Joe
