going to be all right with these two?”
    “Sure. I have every woman’s dream, a
mate and a spare. What could go wrong?”
     

Chapter Three
     
    “Dammit to hell, this water should be
frozen solid!” Ujarak cursed. He got off his snowmobile and went to
the bank of the stream.
    JP stopped his machine next to
Ujarak’s. The ride so far had been heaven and hell. Susan was soft
and warm against Jean-Paul’s body, her arms holding him tightly,
her thighs pressed around him. Occasionally, she would lay her head
against his back. His body responded with each squeeze and made
riding the snowmobile an exercise in frustration. He patted Susan’s
hands to release him and waited for her to disembark. She walked
toward Ujarak. JP removed his helmet and joined Susan at the
stream.
    “What are we going to do?” Susan
asked.
    JP winked at her. “I can refreeze the
stream. It won’t last long, but should give us the time to get the
machines across. Can you drive ours over, Susan?”
    “Sure, no problem.”
    “Okay, you two get ready and I’ll
build you a bridge. Wait until I signal you to go
forward.”
    “I guess you might be useful after
all,” Ujarak grumbled. He reached for Susan’s hand and led her back
to the snowmobiles.
    Jean-Paul gritted his teeth, tempted
to shoot a fireball at the polar bear for touching Susan. Of course
it would be a waste of magic since shifters were immune to spells.
The only way to get to them was by magically affecting their
environment.
    A fireball wouldn’t hurt the bear, but
a tree branch to the head would. Ujarak and Susan started the
snowmobiles and sat idling. Jean-Paul turned toward the stream and
reached for the water with his magic. “Stream that flows, feel the
cold, ice so solid, build and develop. Sturdy and strong, bridge
builds long, as I command, let it be so.”
    JP watched with satisfaction as ice
crystals began to grow across the top of the water and the flow
slowly trickled and then stopped. Jean-Paul stepped on the ice,
testing it, and then motioned to Ujarak to cross. He made it
without a problem and then Susan followed him with her
snowmobile.
    When she stopped on the other side, JP
got on behind her. He put on his helmet and wrapped his arms around
her. He mentally groaned as he snuggled up to her and wondered if
she could feel how much he desired her. Before he could say
anything, Susan started after Ujarak. JP gritted his teeth and held
tightly to the one woman who belonged to him.

    Susan smiled. Watching JP turn a
stream to ice was a little intimidating, but the proof that he
desired her pressed against her behind and gave her a sense of
empowerment. He belonged to her, her mate. He’d said turning into a
wolf was magical and she could attest to that, but being a lycan
wasn’t anything like what JP could do with the elements.
    Ujarak made a slight turn and Susan
followed. They left the line of trees and headed across the plains.
Their headlights didn’t take away from the night sky filled with
stars, the white of the snow glowing softly with the light. She
could see clearly with her lycan sight and wondered if JP as a
witch could see as far.
    She yawned and wondered when they
would reach the polar bear village. She felt weary as it was. All
of them would need to rest before they traveled farther north. Her
stomach rumbled. They hadn’t stopped to eat. The tea at JP’s was
the last food she touched. Jean-Paul rubbed her stomach and Susan
blushed. Had he felt her stomach complaining? Ahead of them, Susan
could see a glow of lights. They must be getting close.
    It was already late when they pulled
into the small village on the edge of Hudson Bay. Ujarak showed
them where to park before leading them to a small house. The door
flew open and a young woman with dark hair grabbed Ujarak in a
hug.
    “I’m so glad you’re back. The whole
village is in an uproar over the fires. Poor Anaaya is here with
mother since Uncle Itigaituk ran off.”
    “She’s
