He opened his arms, catching her mid-leap. He ignored the growl coming from the crazy lion. “What’s brought you home?”
Another growl from Thadd, this one much deeper.
“Oh, you hush it,” Torrance said, pointing a finger at her mate.
“Yaro had a vision, so I whisked us here. Then I realized you were busy.” She winked, sobering quickly. “I smelled something strange, so we went on a little hike, and then Mr. Bixley and I sent these two back here while I did a little cleanup. Oh, and I thought I’d ensure your garden always produced even when I’m not here to do my little gardening. P.S. You’re welcome.” Torrance smiled down at him.
A growl from his house shook the ground under his feet. He saw Noelle standing by the door. “Hello, Katjie. Come and meet my sister, her mate Thadd, and his brother Yaro.”
The growl stopped immediately. “Oops,” Noelle whispered.
“I like her already.” Torrance slapped his shoulder.
Ridge released his sister, eyeing the two women he loved most in the world.
Noelle came to his side. “Sorry I um...growled at you.”
Torrance waved her hand. “Girl, I’d have done the same thing if I caught my mate being hugged by some strange female. Note to you, Thadd, don’t ever let me catch you hugging some strange female ‘cause I don’t think I’d be as restrained.”
“I’ve made note.” Thadd tapped his head.
“I will not be so whipped when I find my mate,” Yaro said, turning away from them then shifted into a white lion before loping off into the woods.
Ridge snorted but didn’t say anything else. “He gonna be okay?”
“Yeah, he’s still adjusting to being around non-crazy lions,” Thadd said, staring down the path his brother had taken.
“Um, so when is he going to figure out, he’s around crazy still?”
Torrance flipped Ridge off then smiled. “He’s right, though. We’re all a little crazy.”
“So, what’s brought you here? Thadd said something about you wanting to visit but, that’s not all, is it?” He hated to bring the cheery moment down, but he felt real worry pouring from the couple.
Torrance looked at Noelle then Ridge. “I’m afraid not. You know Thadd gets dreams, or at least he got dreams of me, right? Well, I had a dream and needed to come here. From the looks of the woods, I might be a little late though.”
Ridge pulled Noelle closer against his side. After he explained about Merry and Carlton, Torrance’s jaw went slack. “That must’ve been what I felt. How about the other women who were with your sister? Have you checked in on them?” Noelle asked.
Noelle froze; her entire being went rigid. “I didn’t even think about them. I mean, just because my sister was...tainted, I never thought they were. Shit, they might be as well.”
“I think that’s why I’m here. We can’t allow them to be out in the world if they’re infected with the evil I felt before I left, or what the earth was showing me when I went out there just a little bit ago.” Torrance shrugged her shoulders.
“You’re an earth witch?”
“I can draw strength from the soil and feel from it, yes.”
NOELLE COULD SEE THE other woman didn’t want to say anymore. “Let’s reach out to Zelda.”
“Already did. She’s searching for the other women. I think we’ll have an answer shortly. However, she told me you were a witch, not a leopard and a witch?” Torrance tilted her head to one side, then other.
Before she could explain, a bright light exploded in front of them. Yaro flashed in between Thadd and the newcomers, his growl deep and resonating.
“Aw, isn’t he just the cutest kitty you ever did see?” Zelda stroked the white lion’s head without fear.
Yaro bared his fangs, yet Zelda didn’t appear to notice.
“Zelda, you do know he could eat you, right?” Ridge asked.
The witch beheld the lion she was petting and then Ridge. “I don’t agree. I could make him into cat stew before he could nip me. However, I think he and I have an understanding. Don’t we, Yaro the Future King?”
The white lion shook his large mane, dislodging the witch’s hand, and trotted over to sit by Thadd.
“Well, let’s just get right to it, shall we? Your sister was a bad egg as were her friends, even before they were taken by that fucktard Remwhateverzevier. So, anyhow, when they were returned, the lot of them were even more bent. While you thought they’d only been there a day, they’d been there for quite some time, more like months. That’s a long time for a unhinged doctor to do some crazy things to some already questionable people. I should know. I’ve dealt with crazy before.” Zelda turned in a circle.
“Um, Zelda, what’re you looking for?” Noelle asked.
“Usually when I say that or call someone crazy, Baba appears and says, Crazy is as crazy does, or something like that. Anyhoo, I digress. The others were tainted like your sister and were somehow connected to her. When her life was forfeited, so was theirs. Very tragic, I’m sure. As for your parents, they will be a lot more amendable to accepting her death than you think. You see, your sister had been siphoning their lifeforces since her rescue, making them think she was sweet and you the bad one. Now that she’s gone, they’re becoming more aware of reality, and with it, her evil. I have already begun the process of showing them life without her. It will hurt as that is what death does to humans. However, having their younger child, who is now happy with such a wonderful male, will bring them hope. Now, I must go. My mate is in need. Maybe it’s I who am in need. I can never be sure since I am always...” She waved her hand and disappeared.
Yaro shifted back, grunting. “She’s a strange female.”
Ridge nodded. “That she is.”
“Are all witches strange?”
Torrance and Noelle growled.
Ridge and Thadd laughed, then stopped when their mates turned narrowed eyes toward them.
“My mate is perfect exactly as she is,” Ridge stated.
“Which brings me back to the fact she smells like leopard and not your leopard.” Torrance crossed her arms over her chest and tapped her toe.
Thadd came up behind her, wrapping his huge arms around Torrance. “This I too would like to know the answer to.”
Ridge shrugged. “The Goddess decided it was so.”
Noelle smiled and snuggled her back against Ridge’s, not surprised to find his dick already hard. “I like that explanation, mate.”
“I smell the mating pheromone filling the air. Send me home, Tor, please,” Yaro pleaded.
In the next instant, Noelle and Ridge were the only two left. She tapped his arms, spinning to face him. “Ever make love out here? Hold up, wait a minute. Don’t answer that. Ever make love to me out here?”
His grin was bright and happy. “I actually never made love until I met you, Katjie.”
Noelle knew for the rest of her life she’d always remember the first time she made love, and the next, and the next. Because her leopard mate was more than happy to show her exactly how much he loved her, and wanted to ensure she found the greatest pleasure, within his arms. Being the leopard’s witchy mate was not only the greatest experience of her life, it was by far the most exciting thing she could ever have wished for. Whatever their future held they’d face head-on with the Mayhem Crew, along with the help of a bunch of crazy witches.
