you hadn’t actually died. It takes a little while for us to come back from that. Rest for now. We’ll talk more in the morning. You owe Tempest an apple or something for coming to get me.” Landon left the room.
Even though he’d been a Rider for a long time, he had never died. He believed in the power and the immortality, but now he understood what it meant. They couldn’t die. At least he didn’t know of a way they could die. Tempest poked his head in through the window and gazed at him. He sensed the horse’s concern.
“I’m fine thanks.”
Good because I get tired of looking out for you.
He was stunned. “What did you say?”
Wow, it finally took you dying to understand me. I think it’s a miracle.
“Holy shit. I can understand you word for word.”
Tempest laughed. Yeah. Shows you what a hard head you have. I’m glad that you’re okay.
Wyatt wasn’t sure if he was crazy or not, but he heard the horse’s thoughts. He’d always wanted to. Now it was true. “So thanks for getting Landon. I appreciate it.” Someone has to look out for you when you fly off the handle. All over a woman. Humans.
I’ll never understand you.
“She’s not just a woman.”
I know all about George. So does Whirlwind.
“Do you know anything that we can do? I can’t lose her.” The horse peered at him with deep amber eyes and flicked his ears back. I’m not supposed to be telling you this, but there’s a way you can get around Raul’s ruling.
“What is it?”
Turn her into a Rider.

He blinked. Was that even possible? He’d never heard of three Riders for a certain territory. They were always sent in pairs. “How can we make her into a Rider?” She’s a unique human. She stirs passion and emotions in each of you. The last time she touched both of you at once, she blacked out. Who said she wasn’t a born Rider? They are rare, but it happens. The power inside of her might extend to more than what you think. You just have to unleash it. The two of you have to help her discover and use her power .
Both of us. He shook his head. Sharing with Landon wasn’t something he had ever considered. But he couldn’t lose her either. Maybe if that was what it took. “For a horse, you sure do seem to know a lot about all of this.” The stallion kicked the side of the house and the room shook. A biting wind raced through the bedroom. I am more than a horse. I’m an elemental. You should know that by now. I’m older than the hills. When life was first breathed onto this planet, I came into existence.
“Sorry if I insulted you.”
I’m not insulted. I’m just saying. I know a few more things about this whole organization than you. Take my word for it if you want to save your lady friend. Now get some sleep.
Wyatt wasn’t going to argue with him on that. With the new information, he was going to talk to Landon in the morning. If there was a way to save her, then he would do anything. He hoped that Landon would agree. He closed his eyes and his thoughts drifted toward George.

Chapter Thirteen
George gazed at her reflection. Her hair was all over the place and her eyes were puffy. The pressure of the storm weighed heavily on her. Everything hurt including her thighs after the two bouts of lovemaking she’d had in less than twenty-four hours. Of course that trail of thinking made her realize the snafu she was in now. She liked both men. Was drawn to both of them. It’s a pity I can’t have the two of them and call it a day.
That’d make it so much easier. Then I wouldn’t have to worry about choosing. She ran her hand through her hair and tugged on it. I really don’t want to choose. Each of them makes me feel complete except on a different level. Crap.
She sighed and hopped in the shower. The warm water helped revive her and relieved some of her aching muscles. After Landon left, she’d gone to the college to meet with Jeremy, but he never showed. When she knocked on his door at the
