“It is my mate, Keith.” I said, extracting my hand from hers. “We are safe now.”

There was a soft whoosh behind me. When I turned around, I found that Oleander had already disappeared. I had heard that witches don’t meet others unless absolutely necessary. Probably that was true.

His face washed over with relief and his eyes sparked with joy, “Melinda, I have finally found you.” Rushing over to me, he grabbed me by my shoulders; his eyes raking over me from top to bottom. “Are you hurt anywhere?”
