Reese’s POV What the hell was I doing? Was I really going to let my mate leave to go to California? Quickly I rolled out of bed pulled my pants on and walked to the closed bathroom door and froze. I could hear the sound of Rayne crying behind the door. My wolf growled at me for making our mate cry and I felt anger towards myself for making her feel this way. I needed to tell her not to go and we would work something out. But then bedroom door opened, and Conner stood in the doorway, and he looked around the room and then his eyes landed on me. “Where is she?” he asked. I stepped away from the bathroom door and squared up to him. He was a big man for a warlock which didn’t make sense to me. Most warlocks I knew were tall but on the skinner side but not Conner. He reminded me of an Alpha with his statue and his demeanor. He wasn’t afraid of me either which meant he was either stupid or he was sure of the powers he yielded. “Do you truly love her?” I asked him. “Yes.” He said wi
Conner’s POV To believe my mother had spelled a ring for me not to turn into a wolf was a hard pill for me to swallow. Our relationship was always rocky compared to hers and Emma’s but I always thought that was because Emma was her favorite. But now I am second guessing my observation of the situation and wondering if Reese was onto something. Maybe there was more behind the whole thing where they didn’t want Rayne and I together. Maybe they feared what would happen if two hybrids got together and they wouldn’t be able to control us with a simple spelled ring. As I sat in Reese’s bedroom with Rayne teaching her the spell I realized how amazing Rayne really was. She was able to quickly pick up on the spell and her Latin was extremely good. Her grandmother had secretly prepared her for this side of her. “Rayne what happens if I am a hybrid like you?” I ask her, wondering what happens next and will she still want to be with me. “Well, you will shift for the first time and I will
Rayne’s POV It felt amazing knowing I wasn’t the only hybrid alive. I didn’t want Conner to know but I was wishfully hoping he was like me so thing were less complicated. Conner would now be learning things right along with me, other than the witch side, he was already taught. To hear Conner was of Alpha’s blood was interesting because of Ella having two Alpha mates herself. My mind began to wonder who Conner’s real father was and if he could be related to one of these three Alphas standing before me. “Caleb, take Conner out for a run and let me know how he performs. I need to know how quick he catches on and what he is capable of.” Hunter tells Caleb and then turns to the rest of us, “The rest of you, follow me.” Back in the meeting room I sat in silence listening to Hunter and Reese talking about how they should inform the council of what the Red Moon Witches have been up to but Reese is hesitant about informing them saying that they may think that it’s not safe letting a hyb
Reese’s POV I woke the next morning with Rayne’s naked body in my arms and I took in her sweet scent of candy apples. Last night was to say the least a sex fest and Rayne’s body was pleased repeatedly by Conner and myself. I still wasn’t sold on the sharing of Rayne but when I saw Conner taking her in the shower, I wanted nothing more than to be deep inside her myself. It took every ounce of restraint I had not to mark her last night and make her mine. Conner on the other hand had no clue yet what it was to mark a mate and I was happy that instinct didn’t kick in yet for him. If Rayne was going to be marked I wanted to be the first to do it. Rayne began to stir and I pulled her in tighter to me and she rested her head in the crook of my neck. “Your scent is intoxicating.” Rayne says as she crawls on top of me and she begins to kiss me. Our tongues dance softly with each other as Rayne starts to rub herself against my cock and I moan as I can feel her wetness glide across it. “I w
Conner’s POV Tagging in and giving Reese a break from Rayne’s constant needs to be pleased I now laid in bed holding Rayne’s body in my arms. I never realized how small she was until I had her laying over my body now. My fingers went to a stray piece of hair that laid across her cheek moving it so I could have a better view of her perfect face while she slept. A lot has happened in the last forty-eight hours and I was still adjusting to my new side. Caleb was an amazing teacher when it came to showing me my wolf side and I was thankful for him and his mate and her other mate for being here to support all of us adjusting to this new experience. I was more than eager to help Hunter with the map this morning with the town limits because I wanted to help take down the Covent that did this to Rayne and me. I wondered if there was more of our kind in Canyon Ridge and if there were I wanted to free them from the Red Moon Covent. Rayne and I were living proof that both sides could surviv
Rayne’s POV Trying to stretch my arms as I awoke but found they were restricted by what felt like one of my mate’s arms. Inhaling I knew whose arms they were as the scent of mint awoke the wolf inside of me. My eyes slowly opened seeing Reese’s face only inches from mine as he was curled up around me. Reese looked like he was peacefully sleeping and I took the opportunity to really look at him closely and I realized how perfect he was. He was everything I ever could have asked for except he hadn’t marked me which means he still wasn’t committing to the three of us being together and my heart ached knowing he wasn’t mine. “I’m guessing since you haven’t jumped my bones yet that your heat is finally over.” Reese said without opening his eyes and I knew I was busted staring at him but then I realized what he was saying. The burning pain within me was gone. “How long was I in heat?” I asked him, looking around the room trying to find out what time of day it was. “Two weeks.” Reese
Rayne’s POV Reese was gone by the time I made it out of the bathroom and a change of clothes were left for me on the bed. Reese’s mood swings were starting to give me whiplash and I wondered what was going on in his head. My heat must have changed something in him and maybe it was a good thing I didn’t leave with Conner to go to California. Then my mind went to Conner who had just found out he was a Hybrid just like me before my heat started. I remembered him being the first to enter me when my heat started without hesitation and I can remember him being with me off and on during my heat. I wonder how he was doing with his wolf side since it’s been two weeks now and a part of me missed not seeing him since I woke from my heat. Quickly I got dressed and before I was ready to leave the room I heard a phone ding on the nightstand. Picking up the phone I see a ton of missed texts from Emma. Emma: “Where are you?” Emma: “Call me. I’m worried about you.” Emma: “Seriously Rayne, w
Rayne’s POV Conner and I stared at each other and couldn’t believe what his mother said. There was no way we were brother and sister. How is that even possible. Conner tried to get answers from his mother, but she insisted on him coming home first with me before she told him anything more. He eventually hung up on her not wanting to listen to her lies any longer. None of it made any sense. My father would have had to have slept with Conner’s mother over a year before my parents got pregnant with me. Was it possible yes but did I believe it no. Then there was also the fact that Hunter said Conner was of Alpha blood and I don’t believe my father was because Reese’s family was the Alpha’s of the pack. Even though neither of us believed the lies from her mouth it still felt like there was an oddness we now felt about touching each other and it was going to drive me mad until we were able to prove she was lying. As we headed downstairs to the meeting, we walked a foot apart not hold
