to
help me that’s all.”
    “ He has feelings for you,” Cheve
stated matter of factly.
    I began to deny it, but
thought what the hell, if this pompous ass
knows everything then let him figure it out.
    I just shrugged it off until Cheve said, “Though you
don’t have any passion for him.”
    That got me riled. “It’s none of your business who I
have passion for. So just stay out of it.”
    Cheve swiftly grabbed hold of me and pulled me into
his arms. I did nothing as he lowered his soft full lips to mine.
The minute his mouth touched mine, flames of desire licked through
my veins. As he pulled me tighter against him I felt my body react
in an almost violent way. When his tongue had barely slipped
between my lips, I felt the stirrings of an orgasm build. What was
happening to me? I couldn’t believe how fast my body reacted to his
touch. As swiftly as it begun it stopped and Cheve stepped back,
clearly unaffected by our brief kiss.
    “ Your passion is most definitely
my business, Orenda. As a matter of fact, your passion and the lack
of control of your passion are all about my business. I’m your
Sensay instructor.”
    With that little announcement he went below to help
Mark. I just stood there with my mouth hanging open. Cheve my
instructor? My mind was whirling. What exactly did that mean? I was
still standing in the same place when the guys came back carrying
two backpacks. Cheve, rather rudely, shoved my backpack at me.
    Mark went to take it but Cheve said, “Orenda needs
to learn to carry her own burdens.”
    Mark glared at him, and I said,
“Its okay Mark.”
    Cheve hopped off the boat and waited for us to
follow.
    “ Wait. I need to get
Bullet.”
    Cheve looked puzzled. “Bullet?”
    With the mention of his name Bullet came around from
the other side of the boat. Cheve’s eyes widened. “So it’s true
then?”
    “ What?” I asked.
    “ That you are the one of whom the
prophesy speaks. You walk with the great wolf spirit.”
    I sighed “I’m not sure why everyone keeps saying
that. All I know is that Bullet just showed up a few days ago and
he is my friend. Be nice to him.”
    Cheve snorted, “Nice? I will revere him above all
other beings.”
    I rolled my eyes. For some reason all of the people
around me lately were a bunch of drama queens. We began our trek to
the village and the path was eerily just like the one from my
dream. I decided to ignore that and instead press Cheve for
answers. “Why and how are you going to train me?”
    “ Are you asking me my
qualifications, Princess?”
    I didn’t like the way he said “princess” and could
feel myself developing the red glow of anger in my belly.
    “ You are angry with me. That is
the first thing we will need to work on, that and your out of
control libido.”
    “ Hey! Who do you think you are?”
He stopped walking and stared me square in the eyes.
    “ I think I am your Sensay trainer.
The one who will teach you what you’re going to need to know in
order to stay alive. I’m also the one who will protect you with my
last dying breath for like it or not, you are the hope for The
Evolved that walks this earth.”
    With that he began walking again. “I will help you
master your senses by pushing them to the limits and finding your
breaking point. You need to be able to identify the exact point
that sends you over the brink and harness it. It is kind of like
building up your body strength at the gym. Each time you go, you
add a little extra to your workout.”
    “ Okay, so that explains the how,
now tell me why you are qualified to train me in this.” I was a
little annoyed at myself that the question came out a bit
spitefully. I was really letting this guy get to me.
    As if knowing exactly how irritated I was he smirked
when he said, “I am able to communicate with Great Spirit warriors.
They have honored me by teaching me many things including how to
master control over emotions and senses.”
    My mind was trying to wrap itself around
