jeans. His hair was dark and wild. He looked me up and down. I had my long blonde hair down. It hung halfway down my back. Kai pulled my arm, stopping me. He grabbed the engagement ring that hung from a silver chain on my neck. He was careful not to touch the silver chain, as it would burn him. My witch powers made me immune.
     
                    “Two months,” he stated and then kissed me.
     
                    “Two months,” I echoed.
     
                    I heard approaching footsteps and turned to see Emma running over to us.
     
                    “Are you going into town?” she asked urgently.
     
                    “What’s wrong?” Kai was in front of her in an instant looking at her belly. He was always worried about her.
     
                    “I have a crazy craving for Voodoo Doughnuts in Portland,” she stated.
     
                    I busted out laughing and Kai sighed.
     
                    “You scared me. I thought the baby was hurt.” Kai exclaimed.
     
                    “No, the baby is hungry. Can you get an assorted dozen? Devon is at work and I’m not allowed to leave alone.” Her pale heart-shaped face pleaded with Kai.
     
                    “No, you’re not. Yes, we will bring them back for you.” He patted her belly. “Hold tight, little one. You will have doughnuts within a few hours.”
     
                    I smiled. Was there anything sexier than a sensitive guy that liked babies and pregnant bellies, but could also kill a man with his bare hands? I don’t think so.

                    We pulled our car up to the entrance of Multnomah Falls. Multnomah Falls was a beautiful public tourist spot in-between Portland and Mount Hood. We had set it up as a meeting place if we ever needed to meet. I had visited the falls dozens of times as a kid. I had hiked the area with my mom and Drake. My throat tightened at the thought of my twin brother. Losing him was the hardest thing in my life. Sylvia had told me Matefinders were always female and always born in a set of twins. The boy twin was her protector. Drake had pulled me from the raging creek to save me from drowning, but in turn had been swept up and drowned. My father started drinking and became abusive after that.
     
                    “Aurora? Where are you?” Kai was peering at me with curiosity.
     
                    “Sorry. Issues,” I muttered.
     
                    He smiled and held my hand as we began hiking up the trail to the falls. It was an easy hike and we passed by a ton of tourists taking pictures. Just before we reached the top, we heard her.
     
                    “Psst!” Dr. Tavern was on a park bench in a small pull out just off the trail. We walked over and she wordlessly began leading us away into a thick part of the trees. We followed her, but my guard was up. She was acting sneaky. I wondered if we were being followed. Once she had led us far enough away, she turned to face us. There was a bruise under her right eye. She had dyed her hair from blonde to jet black.
     
                    “Oh my God, Dr. Tavern. Are you okay?” I knew the signs. I saw them on my own mother’s face growing up. Dr. Tavern was a victim of abuse. She was on the run. She pushed a red button on a disc-shaped tracker. It was some type of signal scrambler. I had seen her use it before.
     
                    She touched her cheek lightly. “Please, call me Alexa.” Her voice was raw, like she had been crying.
     
                    I looked at Kai. His eyes were yellow. “Who did it?” Kai had infused the power of the Alpha into his voice. It would be hard even for a human not to answer him truthfully.
     
                    “One
