Gavin! Sierra! I called out to them, knowing we needed their help.

What do you need? Gavin responded back psychically.

“I’m here.” Sierra responded as well.

We need you to mimic us and act as our catalyst. Noah said through gritted teeth. It’s a bad break.

Gavin took my hand. Sierra took Noah’s hand. Instantly I felt the surge of power. I almost panicked. It felt like the power had a mind of its own. Like it wanted to break free and run rampant. I had to cajole it to return to the man’s leg. I had to will it to complete the mending process and close the open wound. I compelled the man to lift his leg and wiggle his toes. I was reassured when I felt the man’s leg respond to me coaxing him to move. I didn’t want to leave him without knowing he was completely healed.

I was about to release my hold on Gavin and Noah when I felt the power surge up again. As it surged, I felt my body go limp. Like the power wanted to drain me dry and take from me. I felt my body begin to rise in the awkward position. Noah and Gavin were like my anchors holding me down.

“Let go!” I heard Jemmy yell in the distance as the blackness wanted to engulf me. “Let go now. Sam!” I heard her yell. “Sam, you have to force them apart!”

“Now Sam! Now!” I heard Rachel cry hysterically.

I felt a huge gust of wind and suddenly I was free. My body came slamming back down to earth. I couldn’t move. My limbs felt like lead weights. I turned my head and saw Noah on all fours gasping for breath. Sierra was sitting on her butt her hands clasping her knees, looking stunned. Gavin crawled over to me and reached out for my hand.

Did you feel that? His voice was shaky. What was that?

I couldn’t respond to him as I watched Noah stumble over to me gather me up in his arms. “Blake, love, come on Blake.”

Jemmy, Rachel, and Micah came over, crying. Terrance, Dawn, Sam, and Marcel were kneeling above me. Everyone in their camp was surrounding us. Watching us. Looks of awe and fear scattered throughout their ranks.

“What do we do?” Sierra asked shakily as she stroked my hand.

“Take me back,” I finally gasped out. “Take Noah and I back.” I knew I needed to be with all my guys.

I needed to recharge from the power that tried to drain me.

Chapter 10

“What happened?” I heard Remy bark out in anger.

“She’s ice cold. Get her clothing off,” I heard the catch in Jace’s voice before I felt the cold air against my skin. “We need to get her into the pool and warm her up.”

I could hear everyone, but I was unable to respond. No words verbally or mentally could be produced. I was locked into paralysis.

I was freezing. My teeth were chattering so hard. I couldn’t stop it no matter what I tried to do. My jaw was aching from the intensity of it. My head was steady throbbing. It felt like little gnomes had burrowed in my head with hammers. They were pounding in my head to the point that I couldn’t see straight.

My vision was through a tunnel. My eyes gritty. Blurry. I tried to blink my vision clear, but it wasn’t working.

“Is she going to be okay?” I heard Micah’s frightened voice.

“She’ll be fine,” Jaxson said. I didn’t know who he was trying to convince; himself or Micah.

“I’m staying here. I’m not leaving. Exercise be damned,” I heard Jemmy mutter resolutely. “Micah can you take me back and help me get my pack?”

“Me too,” I heard Gavin say determinedly.

“Should we clear it with Terrance and Will?” Sierra asked hesitantly.

“I’ll call him now,” Drake said resolutely. “Micah, can you bring Terrance back here?”

“Hand her here, man, you can barely stand on your own two feet. You don’t look so good. Come on in,” I heard Troy command Noah.

I was transferred to Troy’s arms and he walked me into the water. I could almost sigh in contentment as I felt the heat of the water begin to seep into my body. It was warming me up. It replaced the cold that had set into my bones. Troy hadn’t walked in far because I could still hear their conversation.

“It was a bad break,” I heard Noah say quietly. “There was no way we could
