She came out of the night like a wraith. One moment, there had been only
darkness, with six of the nine moons waning and the woods sounds
quavering like ghosts in the wind. Then a wisp of movement breathed in the
trees. Brush snapped. Something large and menacing leaped the barrier
bushes. His heart jerked. The next instant, a whirlwind struck the road.

He shouted, kicking his riding beast into a charge. From the side of her
vision, she caught the dark movement. One fluid half-rearing motion, and
she twisted her six-legged dnu midrush. Then she spurred the beast back at
him.
Black hair whipped around her face in a halo of urgent violence. Her dark
eyes gleamed with the light of the yellow-white moons. The gray shadow
on the groundтАФthe wolf with its yellow eyesтАФbunched its body to fling
itself after the woman.
The dnu thundered straight for him, its six hooves frantic with speed. Too
fast! By the moons, she would kill them both. He should turnтАФshe should
turnтАФbut she didnтАЩt slacken her pace. Desperately, he leaned out, away
from his own riding beast. The dark woman leaned in. Her face, a blur in
the night was hollowed out by shadow. A howling seemed to hit him. Then
his arm slapped hers, and their hands dug into each otherтАЩs musculature.
Her body came free of the saddle. She snapped like a rope across the gap of
pounding hooves, letting her dnu race free in the night. Then her body
struck him.
One leg caught against his dnu; her chest hit his ribs. Her weight, slight as it
was, nearly lost him his seat even with his heavy grip on the double
pommel. Then her other leg was over, and her body melted against his
broad back as she slid into the rhythm of riding, her free arm seeking his
waist.
тАЬOn?тАЭ he shouted.
тАЬSet,тАЭ she shouted back. She was grinning, but beneath the six moons that
hung in the sky, the expression was feral and sharp.
