Free Devi: Matefinder Book 2 by Leia Stone

said a truer word.” He kissed my forehead. “What other thing do you have to contact Nahuel about?”
     
                    I could feel him scanning my emotions. Tell him about the Devi thing now or later? Later . “You let me worry about that.” I kissed him as he gave me a suspicious look.
     
                    After breakfast, I got dressed and walked outside to the back side of the house.
     
                    I reached inside my shirt and pulled out the medicine pouch that Nahuel had given me after that witch, Prudence , nearly killed me by holding me hostage in the dream world. I emptied the bag into my palm. It held a small sprig of dried juniper, a tiny wolf carving and a black apache tear. Nahuel had said that if I ever needed him, to bury the apache tear and he would come. I dug a hole in the earth and buried it. I covered it up and waited. I wondered how long it would take. How would he get here? Was he human? Kai said that Shamans were a species of their own. Nahuel seemed extra special. He had stopped time at Sadie’s wedding to tell me things. It was fascinating and scary all at once.
     
                    After a few minutes, a twig broke deep into the forest behind the house. We had no fences. The pack roamed freely. I peered in the direction of the sound. There he was, between two tall pine trees. He motioned me to follow.
     
                    I picked the apache tear up and shoved everything back inside my medicine bag. He was almost out of sight.
     
                    “Hey, wait!” I screamed.
     
                    I ran to catch up. He turned to face me. We were deep in the woods.
     
                    He whispered, “I hear these woods have ears.”
     
                    Oh, the drones. RAIDOS. “Yeah, look, I called you because I wanted to know if you will perform the mating ceremony for Kai and me?”
     
                    He gave me a sly half smile. “Consider it done.”
     
                    “Thanks. We are thinking in about two months.” I lowered my voice to a faint whisper. “Sylvia thinks I might be a Devi. She said–” He placed his hand over my mouth. His head shook left to right. Not here . He mouthed.
     
                    Okay, so he knew what that was.
     
                    “I need you to come with me for a few days. Can you clear it with Kai?” he asked.
     
                    My eyes widened. “A few days? Where?”
     
                    “Canada.”
     
                    That was vague. I looked at him, confused. “Canada. Okay. Why?”
     
                    “So that you can fully get to know your spirit and your life’s purpose. Will you take this journey with me, Aurora? It is my honor to guide you on your spiritual path.”
     
                    He was always so serious! Whoa. Okay. “I’m not very spiritual. I mean I don’t eat animals because I don’t want to hurt living things, but that’s about it. I’m not so sure about God.” I was honest because he was giving me a pretty intense look.
     
                    He smiled. The smile turned into a full on laugh. I had never heard Nahuel laugh before. His long silky hair was tied back in a thick braid.
     
                    “What’s so funny?” I prodded him.
     
                    “When white people say they don’t believe in God, it’s like saying you don’t believe in yourself. Very funny. You are right here in front of me, so how can you not believe in God?”
     
                    I shook my head, confused. “Well, I’m not God.”
     
                    “Or are you? Are we all?” He opened his hands, gesturing to the woods.
     
                    “What?
