Jayna, answer me!” Gabriel shouted as he vaulted from his mount and ran through the thick snow to her side. By the time he reached her, she had rolled onto her stomach and slowly pushed to her hands and knees. “I’m all right. Just bruised my vanity is all,” she grumbled as she gained her feet, then grimaced. “I think I might have twisted my ankle.” Gabriel let loose a breath he hadn’t known he was holding. He wrapped his arm around her waist to help hold her up as he tried not to think how nicely her body molded to his. “Did you see what flew over us?” She swallowed hard and nodded. “It was huge. And both ugly and beautiful.” “A Harpy. Did you just see one?” “One?” she repeated as she visibly shook. “Isn’t one enough?” “They usually come in threes,” he said as he led her closer to the trees. “Your horse ran off, and mine will never make it back to the castle carrying both of us.” “Go and get help then. I’ll stay hidden.” He searched her hazel eyes and saw fear but determination as well.
