Tiny biting insects hovered nearby in the sultry summer air, but
resisted the temptation of his skin as he moved like a shadow,
soundless and unnoticed, through the thickly wooded state park. The
very idea of reserving tracts of wilderness amused him, even though this
was not his native realm. The fishy scent of fresh water nearby tickled his
nose. He adjusted his direction accordingly, and then his flared nostrils
caught another, more desired fragrance.

He paused at the forest edge, observing the woman who sat on the old
concrete boat ramp as she reeled in a fish with expert skill. “Y’all can come
out now,” she called over her shoulder without looking behind her.
He obeyed her beckons and quietly took a seat beside her as she cast her
line again. They sat in companionable silence, inches apart, never touching.
He did not quite know her reason for the studious avoidance of physical
contact and did not question it. He simply enjoyed the soft sounds of her
breathing, the rustle of her clothes, the splash of water, the rustling of
leaves, and the chirps of birds. It reminded him of his home in midsummer.
She caught another fish, deemed it inadequate for her purposes, and
released it back into the water after extracting the sharp hook from its
mouth. She glanced at the horizon and noted the sun’s descent and the vivid
flare of color across the western sky. “I’ve got enough to feed both of us
tonight if you’re hungry,”
she invited him as she hauled up the day’s meager catch. She gathered
her cooler and tackle and began the hike back to her tiny cabin. He fell into
step behind her, feeling protective and watching for danger.
“Nothing but the occasional black bear or badger around here,” she said,
her voice quiet in the rustling wilderness.
He said nothing, but shadowed her nonetheless. He knew park visitors
occasionally tramped through what she considered her territory and that
some of them had less than benign intentions. He’d killed one of them not
three days past.
The elimination of a tainted soul did not disturb him. After hundreds of
millennia, little actually disturbed him. He glanced at the slender hips
swaying with each step, the lure to masculine interest unintentional. Desire
surged, a heady sensation he hadn’t enjoyed since his mate died.
Had been killed.
Murdered.
That was the last time he’d seen the Erlking, who had avenged the
wrong, but the Erlking’s justice had not been enough. His mate’s death
shattered his soul.
