always get what I want.”
     
    Jaymes shouldn’t have found what she said appealing, but he did. He ignored her and everything else around him as Karver started to speak.
     
    “There’s a surge of power that almost knocked me to my feet just a few minutes ago,” Karver said as he looked at everyone in the room. “Did anyone else feel it?”
     
    “I think we all did,” Jaymes said.
     
    “Good. I believe it’s coming from somewhere in the East,” Karver informed them as he sat down in the large black chair. “We need to know who or what’s emitting that kind of power.”
     
    “So… supper was interrupted because of the little power surge we felt?” Caleb asked like a snotty little teenager who had to come in before curfew. He shook his head, but his spiked black hair didn’t move an inch as he stared over at Karver.
     
    Karver crossed the room and threw Caleb up against the cavern wall by his throat. “Do you have a problem with that?” Karver hissed, “Because if you do, I’m sure I can fix it.”
     
    “N-n-no. I’m happy to come whenever you call master,” Caleb stuttered as his blue eyes looked down at the dark cavern’s floor.
     
    Karver set him down. “Lucky for you, I’ve already fed and I’m in quite a good humor,” he told Caleb right before he glared at everyone else in the room, daring them to say a word. “We’re going to find where it’s coming from.”
     
    Karver paced back and forth before turning to Jaymes. “I want you and Ophelia to track it and report back to me before taking any action.” Karver glanced over at Ophelia and then back to Jaymes. “Tread lightly.”
     
    “It’ll be done as you wish then,” Jaymes murmured as he bowed.
     
    Ophelia slowly smiled and bowed to Karver. She loved the thrill of the hunt and her body was already thrumming with the anticipation. She looked into Jaymes’ black eyes and nodded that she was ready. They closed their eyes and dissipated.
     
    Ophelia and Jaymes reappeared in the woods outside of the caverns. The full moon shone down like a beacon in the dark night. Their already pale skin seemed to glow even brighter as they stood in the moonlight. Somewhere, far off in the distance, an owl hooted, but nothing else dared to stir.
     
     “So, what’s the plan?” Ophelia asked as she ran her finger down Jayme’s chest.
     
    Jaymes moved away from her. “We know we need to move towards the East, but until we feel the surge of power again we won’t be able to pinpoint it.”
     
    “I always did love the thrill of the unknown,” she said as she moved closer to him.
     
    Jaymes pulled her towards him and grabbed hold of her curly brown hair as he tilted her face up towards his. “Listen closely, Ophelia,” he hissed. “We’ve business to take care of together and that’s it.”
     
    “Why deny that we can help each other?” she asked as she stared into his black eyes. “You’re the strongest male in the clan besides our leader and I’m the strongest female. It’s in fates design that we be together.”
     
    “I could easily rip your heart from your chest while you sleep,” he whispered in her ear. “Doesn’t that bother you?”
     
    Ophelia shook her head as she bared her fangs. “I don’t want a rafa as my male, Jaymes. The thought of being overpowered thrills me. I can’t be with someone weaker than I. You and I make perfect sense.”
     
    He gave up trying to argue with her. “We’ll head to Oklahoma and find a place to rest. The closer we get, the stronger the waves of power should be and the easier it’ll be to track.”
     
    Ophelia nodded her acquiescence. “Let the hunt begin.”
     

Chapter 5
     
    Lucy drove to school the next morning with a million thoughts running through her head. The ride home in Michael’s truck last night was fairly quiet and she wasn’t sure what to say. It just didn’t make any sense to her. He was model material and she’d been off every male’s radar her entire
