Rane’s Mate(5)

By:Hazel Gower


“Okay, who do I have to get to replace me? I can’t watch without touching her or breaking some bones in these guys that she’s attracting.”

Kane chuckled. “Not to worry. I’m coming, I’ll be there in a couple of minutes, and then we can endure together.”

He shut his phone as Jamie, Devlin, Owen, Cullen, Dominic, and Tray came up next to him. “We heard the good news, bro. Good luck with that one, she is hot.”

Rane whacked Jamie upside the head. “Does anything but shit come from your mouth?” He turned to Tray. “How the fuck did Kane get you to do this, Tray?”

Tray frowned. “He didn’t, I’m in the same boat as you.”

Rane raised his eyebrow.

“Sara,” Tray explained.

Rane laughed. “When?”

“Kane’s thirty-fifth birthday party, but she was still seeing that dick then. They broke up a week and a half ago, so I’ve been biding my time. I knew she’d be staying with Faith this weekend. Don’t worry, Rane, I know how you feel. The guys have been holding me back. That last guy that came up to her nearly didn’t leave here alive.”

Rane nodded, glancing over at Faith only to notice that she had gone still. Fuck, she was going into one of her trance visions. She was pushed from behind and started falling. All seven werewolves ran straight to Faith, but Remy, Sara, and Kirby caught her right before she hit the ground.

Rane picked Faith up, and even he could feel that this was going to be a big vision. He yelled over the noise to call Kane and see how close he was. The six werewolves surrounded the women, protecting them from any danger or prying eyes.

Rane was surprised when Sara spoke up. “This is not the place for her to be having one of these.” All the wolves turned to stare at her. Sara rolled her eyes. “She’s been one of my best friends for sixteen years. My God, I’m a water element myself. I know you guys are something paranormal, but she would never tell us what.”

All the werewolves turned to Remy and waited for her to tell what element she was. Groaning, she reluctantly told them. “Okay, fine, I’m a fire element. You can all stop looking at us now. You expected Faith to keep your secret, so she also kept ours.”

Faith was snatched out of Rane’s arms and the wolves stood to attention as Kane took over. “How long has she been out? Who was around? Did she touch anyone?”

“Five minutes tops,” Rane said. “I didn’t notice anything suspicious, and no, she wasn’t touching anyone.” He turned to the women. “Did any of you see her touch anyone? Did you notice anything suspicious?”

Kirby moved forward, speaking up. “No. I only felt you seven wolves, though there is a cat shifter somewhere out there, but I don’t know if it’s male or female.”

Remy and Sara looked at her in surprise. “You’re a what?” Sara asked.

Kane interrupted, “Not here. Not now. We need a safe place.”

Taking out his phone, Kane made a call and five minutes later they were all backstage in a medical tent. Once everyone else was cleared out, the twelve of them sat quietly, too scared to say anything. They all waited for Faith to come out of her vision. Kane held her tight on his lap.

Faith came out of the vision, panic stricken. “You need to call more wolves.” She rubbed her forehead. “Honey, massage my head, I saw too much in such a short period of time. Fuck, Remy, Sara, and Kirby…where are they?” The three women came into her line of vision. “I’m sorry, but I’m going to say a lot of weird stuff and I’ll have to explain it later.” She turned to the werewolves. “I’m so sorry if I say something I shouldn’t.” Everyone nodded. “Here it goes—psychics, elements, and sensors must be drawn to each other. We must all love music because there are a lot of us here today. So what do you think is going to happen tonight? Demons, minions, and zombies are coming.”

Kirby and Sara laughed. “Um, very funny. They’re all make believe,” Sara commented.

Faith smiled sadly at Sara and Kirby. “I’m so sorry to drag you into this, but they are real. The military knows all about them, and they make sure it stays hush-hush.” Faith turned back to the werewolves. “Tonight is going to be major. The demons are working together in large groups, they’re desperate for these people.”

She turned and focused on Rane. “You’re going to have to get military help, as I don’t know how we’re going to contain this. I saw four groups of people the demons want.” She pushed off Kane and started to pace. “In the first group I saw two women. They are both some kind of element. I think they’re in their late twenties-early thirties. They were both blondes, one with blue eyes, the other green. They both had jeans on. One had a black lace top, the other had brown sequins, and they were coming out of the techno beat shed. One of the side doors was near gates and I saw three demons, and I did a quick count and I think there were eight minions and two zombies. That was all I got because it flashed to the next one really quickly. The only definite I got was the demons.
