was
becoming very dear to me. I could trust her. I knew it. I could sense or smell
it. My wolf could too. Emma was a good person. I didn’t trust easily. I
returned the smile as best I could. “Boyfriend,” I said smirking as Kai caught
my eyes a few feet away where he was talking to Devon. “Kai’s my boyfriend.
We’re taking it slow.”
    I heard him growl and then discreetly
cover it into a cough. Emma snorted with laughter. “Playing hard to get?” she
whispered in my ear. I grabbed her hand to lead her away where we could have
some girl talk. Once we were alone, I told her about my vision of Jake’s mating
ceremony.
                    “You’re going to be pregnant.” I smiled.
                    “When?” She asked and then smiled, grabbing
her belly. Silent tears slid down her cheeks.
                    “I don’t know. Time is too hard to tell.
There was snow on the ground.” I smiled.
    Kai, Max, and Devon came to find us.
    “I still don’t know fully what a Matefinder
is, what they are capable of. But I know someone who does,” Kai told us.
                    I looked at him expectantly.
                    “Sylvia,” Kai said with resignation.
    Devon groaned. “I hate witches.”
    I jerked my head back so fast that I
almost fell over.
    “Witches! Wait. You’re telling me witches
are real too?”
                    Emma smirked. “And vampires.”
                    I swallowed hard. Okay, breathe. Just breathe.
“And fairies?” I added. Everyone busted up laughing as Kai placed a hand on my
shoulder. Okay, I guess that’s a no on fairies.
                    “Why would a witch know about my ability?” I
prodded.
                    Kai let me lean against him. “Because witches
are the keepers of all supernatural knowledge. I only know rumors of the Matefinder,
things I learned on my travels through packs. Children’s stories my mother told
me. But witches know everything.”
                    I guess it was time to meet this witch.

Sylvia
     
                    Sylvia was a tall witch with long, thick,
auburn hair and bright green eyes. She appeared to be in her early forties, but
she was a witch, so who knew what her real age was? She was beautiful and had
long, slender fingers which traced the lines of my outstretched palm. Kai stood
to my right and Devon to my left. Max and Emma were outside the door keeping
the pack out of earshot. With their werewolf hearing, I was pretty sure they
could hear every word.
                    Sylvia’s voice took on an airy quality. “Yes,
it’s all here. She can find mates, but not at will. Only spirit can guide her
visions, but there is dark magic that could force her abilities. She could be
coerced to find mates for anyone. That is why she will be hunted.”
                    Kai growled.
                    Sylvia looked up at him. Her eyes, once a
bright green, were silver. “Not by me, wolf. Stand down.”
                    She looked back down at my palm and sniffed
long and deep. I fought the urge to pull back. “Yes. She has magic, too, from
her grandmother.” She paused, looking up at me tilting her head to the side. “How
odd. Your grandmother was a Witch.” Her brow crinkled. She took a deep breath
again. “Your blood smells powerful, but there is a block. I can’t see more. I
don’t know what clan you are from. Someone has shrouded you in protection
magic.”
                    “How can she be part witch? That isn’t
possible.” Devon stated what I was thinking.
                    Sylvia grabbed Kai’s hand and held it next to
mine. “It shouldn’t be possible. Old lore states that Matefinders can take on
their mate’s ability. She can do what Kai can do. Matefinders are always
female, always born in a
