The brunette pointed the weapon at him.
    “She’s here? In these woods?” Suddenly those dreams made sense, that sweet smile, those green piercing eyes. Was this Annalise his mate? Was that why they met so many years ago?
    “Listen, asshole, where is she?”
    His heart skipped a beat. “She’s lost in these woods? Why would she go walking alone?” He spread his wings. “Head back that way to the willow tree and wait for me. I will find her.” He would not stop searching.
    “For all I know you took her,” she spit out, taking a few steps back.
    “You’re very mistrusting.”
    “Says the man with wings!” She kept the weapon pointed.
    Frankly, he’d done nothing to get this kind of reception. “Fine, do what you will, but I will find the girl.” Wick spread his wings and took to the sky. He was searching for a female he met long ago but his heart yearned for her to be the one. Could this be the moment he’d meet his soul mate?

    Jayn watched a fucking fairy fly into the sky. Once he was out of range, she lowered her gun and took a giant breath. Did that really just happen? “Annalise!” she screamed again. Where was her girlfriend? She was two hours late and now Jayn found out that fairies were real. Wings, loincloths and muscles, all real and damn did he get her juices flowing. The last time a man got her hot was in high school and she was pretty sure it was just because he looked girlish.
    “Where the hell are you?” she called again. Jayn shook her head. Thoughts of this fairy would have to wait, even though he did have the green hair that Annalise always talked about. Hell, this had just taken a turn for the bizarre.
    Jayn glanced down at the footprints in the thawing ground. They were the same tread and size as Annalise’s. What she would give to call in backup. Too bad good reception here was as likely as seeing an angel, or should she say, a fairy. She followed the tracks quietly. With all the technology nowadays, how come no one knew they existed? A grown man with wings!
    “Annalise, damn it, answer me!” Maybe Jayn had stumbled into some funky mushrooms that were giving her hallucinations. There could be all sorts of hallucinogens in this forest. That fairy looked too much like the one Annalise described. Where was she? Jayn was starting to get really worried about her girlfriend. “Annalise!” she screamed again.
     
     

    Chapter Two
     
    Annalise closed her eyes. She tried to ignore the fear that raced down her spine. Would her obsession with the green fairy finally get her killed? She thought of Jayn and shuddered. Annalise was not ready to leave this world. She wasn’t ready to leave Jayn. The terror was still there but so was strength. She opened her eyes and shuffled further back, though there was nowhere to go. Annalise sat scrunched on a small ledge below the jagged cliffs and above the raging waves that crashed against the rocks. The sound was stunningly loud. She could barely hear her ragged breath and slamming heart beat. Jayn wasn’t exactly afraid of heights but that sure as hell didn’t help when she looked down. There was no way to swim with that current and the rocks looked rough and would surely cut into her skin. So, here she waited. After yelling for an hour her voice was hoarse and her throat scratchy. The sun was still up and the breeze was warm. Jayn would find her.
    It would just take time.
    No crazy ideas. All she had to do was wait for rescue. Annalise took another deep breath. She berated herself. The first rule of hiking was watching her step. One little misstep and she tumbled down a hill, hit her head on a tree, and slid down an embankment. Terror had seized her thoughts as the edge of the cliff came right at her. It was sheer luck and the grace of God that her backpack strap caught. She was jerked back toward the rocks and managed to land in this carved out space. It wasn’t really a cave but an indentation made by years of wind erosion. It held her
