ramblings and helping me find worth in them. And to Kari and Alison who have been

wonderfully supportive of this series. To Anny Cook, whose brilliance helped me find

such a perfect title for this story. And to my wonderful editor, Helen Woodall for

Lovers’ Stone

Chapter One

“Thanks Luke,” the young man looked at him seriously. “I appreciate this.”

“We’re family,” the tall dark-haired man answered with equal sobriety. “Not many

in our clan would believe it, Rand but that does mean something to me.” The dark

brown eyes frowned as they examined the light blue ones before him. “Our fathers

were brothers. I have to say this or I’d not be doing my duty here. Are you sure you

want to do this? Are you really ready to present Bethany with a mating stone?”

The younger man smiled at him. “Yes Luke, I’m ready. Besides there’s always a

chance I won’t find my stone. There’s still a chance to change my mind after I find it.

Besides, we may be Weres but we’re not wolves. We’re bears. We don’t mate for life. If

Bethany and I find out we’ve made a mistake, we can simply destroy the stone and

move on.”

Luke suppressed the urge to slap the kid in front of him. “Rand, if you’re walking

into a mating already planning how to get out then you’re not ready. Promise me you’ll

really think about this before you do it. Let’s go and come back in a week, in a month.”

The handsome face of the young man frowned at him. “It’s now, Luke. I’m ready

now and you promised Father that since I have no brothers you’d come with me, watch

my back. The hunters are getting bolder. No one thinks they know about this place but

what if they do?”

“Then I’ll kick their asses while you find your mating stone,” Luke sighed. “Go on

in but don’t ask me to wish you luck.” The kid smiles too easily, Luke thought. He

should be a hell of a lot more nervous.

“If I don’t find it, then it’s not meant to be, right?” Rand shrugged, turned and

headed down one of the tunnels to the left.
