Chapter 279

• Jesse ran faster, determined he was catching up to her. Minn was using all her reserves now, but had to tire at some point, he thought. He ignored the fact that he knew she’d run all the way to the mountain once Leah had gotten out of that place.
• Seeing the rise in the ground on the other side of the trees, he darted between them, so he was literally on the higher ground. Jesse’s cat poured on speed he didn’t know he had. That was their mate he was chasing and short of interference from the heavens, he was catching her.
• Minn was still darting in and out of the trees, it was slowing her down, even if she didn’t realize it. Part of him hoped Evanna was working on getting control of her, but after seeing what happened to her when she did, he needed to be able to get through to her. At least they were headed back toward the van now.
