stood alone in the pitch black of the road, a very large, very dangerous creature padding around her.
    Hello, she tried again. It was a cautious and extremely polite mental page, something considered acceptable in exigent circumstances.
    He lifted his head and growled at her, teeth gleaming even in the heavy darkness that cloaked the world. She withdrew immediately. The cat didn’t like her mind attempting to touch his, recognized what she’d been doing. Someone had taught him shielding beyond natural barriers. And there was only one person who could’ve done that.
    “Do you know Sascha?”
    This time the teeth that were bared at her made her want to take a step backward but she stopped herself. She was Psy—she felt no fear. But all sentient beings had a survival instinct and hers was now asking what she’d do if the cats didn’t want anyone near their personal Psy. The answer was that she had no real choice but to continue.
    “I need to speak to Sascha,” she said. “I have very little time. Please take me to her.”
    The cat growled again and the tiny hairs on the back of her neck stood up in a reaction her body would usually have controlled. There was something very territorial, very aggressive about the sound. Then it walked away a short distance and looked back at her. Surprised at the easy acquiescence, she followed. Instead of heading up the road, it led her into the forest, deep enough that they were hidden from the road. Then it marked a tree with its claw.
    She didn’t understand until the cat nudged at her legs hard enough to collapse them under her. “Okay, I get it. I’ll wait here.” That was when strong jaws closed around her wrist. She froze. It wasn’t hurting her but she could feel the power of those teeth. One press and she’d lose her hand. “What? What do you want?” She fought her need to reach out with her mind and speak to it on a level that was normal and familiar. Teeth scraped over her watch.
    “Okay.” She waited for him to release her and he took his time doing so—the cat was very definitely male. Her eyes met his and she saw the sharp intelligence, the power and the fury. Dangerous and wild, he was also the most exotic thing she’d ever seen in her life. The urge to stroke her hands through the fur so close was almost impossible to resist. Except she knew this was one cat who’d never allow such an experimental touch.
    Finally, he let go. She removed her watch and he took it in his teeth. Then he was gone, a blur so fast she barely caught the movement. Alone again, she shivered in the chill of the night and wrapped her arms around her pack. Would he come back? What if someone else found her here? The possibility of being surrounded by more of those cats made her reconsider the logic of what she was doing. They were unquestionably not Psy; therefore the rules she’d based her preparations on didn’t apply.
    Pressing hard against the tree, Faith waited. She had no other option.
     
    Vaughn walked out of the bedroom and into the living room of the aerie wearing only a faded pair of jeans. He held her watch in his hand. “It doesn’t have a tracker.”
    Lucas frowned and reached out to take it. Vaughn felt the irrational urge to keep the slim metallic band for himself, a surge of possessiveness so unusual that it startled him. He handed it over.
    “Let me see.” Sascha peered at it from beside her mate. “It’s relatively ordinary as far as Psy timepieces are concerned.” She took it from Lucas and looked at the back. “Not engraved with any family designation.”
    “I thought you might be able to pick up something from it.”
    Sascha shook her head. “My psychometric skills are growing but this is too cold. I don’t think your Psy places much emotional importance on it.”
    The oddness of the statement wasn’t lost on any of the three. The Psy placed no emotional importance on anything.
    “You said she came out of that compound in Tahoe you were asking about?”
    “Scaled the fence like she didn’t want anyone to see.” He retrieved the watch, hiding it away in his pocket. Where no one else could touch it.
    “I didn’t think you Psy were much into the physical,” Lucas said, and there was a vein of sensual teasing in the words that Vaughn felt as sharply as a knife blade, though he’d never before been affected by the open sexuality of the pack’s mated pairs.
    “Why don’t we discuss it tonight, hmm?” Sascha leaned her back against
