Before they solidified outside his entrance, he froze and sent the order to stay invisible through their link.
“Intruders have been here. I feel them still.” He growled.
“I don’t feel anything. What do you feel?”
He sent her the feelings, letting her absorb them so she could recognize them later.
“How did they find it?” Thana questioned, floating up to the highest point of the mountain with Severin.
He’d ferret out the enemies before allowing his female to be captured again, or worse.
“That’s a very good question. Only a few people know of this place,” he ground out.
“Sev, you know I didn’t—“
“Of course you didn’t do it. I never thought you did. Castle, Uriel, Enzo, and Eliana are the only others who know of this place. I can’t imagine any of them giving the location to our enemies.” He couldn’t keep the hurt out of his tone, but he knew he’d failed.
“Who do you think did then? This cave is on such a steep face, and hidden so well. I can’t imagine anyone just happening upon it unless they were Superman or some shit.” Thana brushed her wind form against his.

Thana followed Sev while he catalogued everything along the way from his home. She could tell he wasn’t happy with whatever he found.
“I have another location nobody knows about, but I know about. Follow me.” Severin rolled around her mist form, forcing her to flow with him.
“Silly man, you don’t have to use force to make me go with you. I’d go willingly as long as you are with me.” Thana allowed a wet tongue to enter his mind, licking up his phantom neck.
“Mmm, I’ll show you, silly, once I have you safe.” Severin sounded worried.
“Sounds solid. Pun intended.”
She followed him, realizing the city of New York was getting farther and farther away. She didn’t bother asking where they were going, trusting him to take them somewhere safe.
“Good girl,” Severin whispered.
His rumbled words sent absolute pleasure down her spine.
They traveled for hours, and she recognized the Adirondacks. She’d hunted there many times when she and Thane first came to America.
Severin took them down to a beautiful lakefront property. He floated in through the chimney, so she followed. From the looks of the place, there wasn’t any sign of other inhabitants for a long fucking time.
“But how?”
“Silly girl, I’ve been on this continent before. I chose not to disturb Scepter and his people. If I’d known you were mine, I’d have claimed you long ago.”
Thana waited until they materialized inside the beautiful home. Stained-glass windows lined the double doors guarding the entryway. She looked at the arched doors, loving the beauty of the artistry.
“Wow, this is gorgeous. Who created these?” she asked.
Severin brushed the hair off her face with the back of his hand. “Its beauty pales in the face of you.”
“The thrill of the hunt is in your eyes, Severin. Are you hunting me, or are you excited to see me?”
“A little bit of both. I sent my aura out before we entered the chimney. This land is perfectly secure because I’ve kept everything out except four-legged creatures that hunt for prey to live. Nothing like us or even shifters were allowed to enter.” He swept her off of her feet, covering her lips with his.
“I feel very secure indeed. So, what do you plan to do with me while you have us secluded in your little hideaway?” She blinked up at him, playing the submissive.
“I have a lot of ideas. Do you have any hard limits I should know about?” Severin licked the shell of her ear.
