weeks. Cade was sleeping in the cave whether she wanted to or not. At one-thirty he sent her home. A short freezing ride to the store and by two-forty-five she was back in the cave.

    “The wound has a bit of silver in it. I think once we get it flushed out it should heal properly. Nasty business, head wounds, even for a vamp. Say , you can’t remember anything, right? Well, this should help with that too.”
    Thomas Reilly, a vampire and a doctor, had examined his head shortly after Cade left the bar. Now he and Aaron were going to open the wound again and flush it out. While they set about preparing to do that Shawn thought about the woman, Cade.
    Aaron had been livid when he came in from talking to her. Shawn grinned at that. He guessed livid had been an understatement. He had been furious that she wouldn’t bow down to his wishes and even more so that she had so easily thrown off his edict. Then he had started on him.
    “She didn’t even know your name. She doesn’t have a clue what it means now that you’ve bonded with her and she was strong enough to not only throw off my command, but to toss my mate across the room as if she was nothing more than a speck of dust.”
    “Aaron, I told you it was my fault. I should have been prepared for her magic. She does have telepathic powers anyway and with Shawn’s blood it’s only made them and her stronger.”
    Shawn nearly laughed when Aaron turned on Sara, but he decided that he might live longer if he didn’t. He had never met two more headstrong people than Sara and Aaron. “Things have gotten out of hand with Cade. It’s entirely my fault. When I came across her in that cave I had no idea that she was anything more than a—”
    “Cave! Are you telling me she is living in a cave? In the wild? Christ, will there ever be a female that comes to this Kiss that isn’t out to drive me insane! I thought when we heard that she was only living above the restaurant that she might have an apartment or an abandoned building she was staying in, but a cave. I want you to go and get her right now. Bring her back to this house and make her stay.” Aaron was standing with his arms over his chest and looking for all the world like he would be obeyed when Shawn had another memory.
    “You did that when we were in the French army together. You were mad because you couldn’t get that twit of a commanding officer to listen to you when you told him that we were going to be attacked. We left that night and the next morning all the men , including the commander , were killed by the ambush. We let them think we , too , had been killed to change our existence.”
    “Yes, that’s right. That’s when we met Kyle. He had been turned and didn’t know what the hell had happened. We sort of took him under our wing and helped him out. Do you remember Kyle, Shawn?”
    “Kyle Dixon. He is...he’s still alive. I heard from him just after I talked to you about coming here. He told me he is mated too. His mate is Madeline or something like that.”
    “It’s Madison. That’s great. I’m calling Thomas. He needs to get over here and look at this. This is great. But it still doesn’t negate that you fucked up royally with this woman. You will fix this, Shawn.”
    And that was why he was laying here on the bed about to have his head sliced open again and then cleaned. He wished it were that easy to erase things. He didn’t think he’d ever forget the look on Cade’s face when he’d reached beyond her to unlock the door. She’d looked terrified of him.

~CHAPTER 6~
     
    Cade got up at five and thought she might just chance Sara’s wrath. Her entire body was on fire one minute and freezing the next. It hadn’t helped that when she got to the cave all of her things were wet. Even the floor was damp. She didn’t have the energy to start a fire and didn’t have anything dry to keep it going with. Moving slowly, she made her way to the bike, not caring if it started on not. Or even if
