hoped there would be more improvement. He desperately wanted to meet Cade’s mate at the barbeque today , but he couldn’t make it to the surface. His repeated attempts left him exhausted and he now lay on the couch napping.
    Drifting in and out of dreams, he jolted awake as pain, like an icepick in his temple, shot through his skull. His moans of agony came out as whines and whimpers.
    In addition to being stuck in wolf form he had almost no control over his empathy. If he had hands he would be cradling his head . This was bad! There were too many people here for the barbeque and he was in emotion overload. No longer able to block or filter emotions as they struck him, he was battered unmercifully, and damn it was painful. He could handle a few people at a time but this exceeded his limits. This was a migraine times a thousand.
    Was that a female’s voice coming from the kitchen? he wondered through his haze of torment. Pressing his eyes shut tightly, he heard soft footfalls cross the room and smelled the sweet scent of woman.
    “Hello, Simon, I’m Anna James, Cade’s mate. May I touch you?”
    He couldn’t speak in this form even if his head wasn’t cleaved in half. Instead, he made a small harrumph sound and opened his eyes. It took a second to focus, she had squatted next to the couch about ten inches from his face and waited for his permission. With only paws available, he couldn’t shake her hand. Doing the next best thing, he reached forward, stretched his neck toward her, and licked her cheek. His wolfy hello made her giggle. He loved the sound of a woman’s laughter. She tentatively began to pet him, and scooted a little closer.
    Simon rumbled, this woman’s caress brought a sense of peace and health he’d never experienced in all his one hundred and seventy years. It felt like his energy level had been jump-started. The surge had his human half rising closer to the surface. It was as if his human soul was stretching and reaching toward her touch.
    She stroked him and scratched behind his ears. Oh my God, that is amazing! Her hands felt so good. His wolf continued the soft rumble of satisfaction in his chest. As close to a purr as a wolf could get. He adjusted his position on the couch, he needed her to touch every inch of him. Please, Anna, don’t stop what you’re doing.
    He heard his father calling for everyone to be seated and she whispered, “I’ll come back after dinner if you would like.” With one last scratch her fingers were gone.
    His human half shot to the surface like a bullet from a gun, her touch was nothing short of a miracle. Clutching the doorframe for support, he rounded the corner into the dining room. A hush fell over the family as all heads turned toward him. Anna had her back to him and slowly turned to look him in the eye for the first time. The short few steps from the doorframe to her chair were like struggling through quick sand.
    He extended his trembling hand to her, after so many days unable to speak, “Welcome, Anna,” was all he could croak out. His throat felt dry and raw from disuse. She gave him her hand and remained very still as he raised it to gently brush his lips across her knuckles. He turned to Cade as he released her hand . “You have a lovely mate, brother. She’s a treasure.” Already, the exhaustion was returning. He gritted his teeth, determined to remain human until he reached the couch. His backside hadn’t even warmed the cushions before he lost control to his wolf again.
     
     
    Twenty-five minutes later, he heard her soft footfalls and scented her as she returned. She lowered herself to sit cross-legged on the floor next to him. He sniffed for Cade’s scent, concerned that his brother would resent this interaction with his new mate. He didn’t smell or sense anxiety or jealousy from his brother, rather the fresh scent of pride.
    Her healing magic was profound, even his wolf sat silently watching in awe as this human woman achieved what no
