Rayne’s POV Everything came crashing back to me that happened over the weekend as the ring laid in a pile of ashes on the sheets. My heart began to race as my wolf side push forward but then I felt a surge of magical power fighting my wolf inside of me. It was as if they were at war with each other inside of me fighting for dominance. “Rayne, are you okay?” Conner asks as I look at him feeling like I’m about ready to short circuit and he reached out and grabbed my hand and my body began to calm to his touch. “Rayne what is it?” My breathing began to regulate, and I was finally able to speak. “The ring, your mother put a spell on it and your sister gave it to me to wear knowing damn well what it was going to do to me. Conner, I think you awoke my witch side with us being together and somehow broke the spell.” Connor looked at me in disbelief. “You know you’re a witch?” ‘Without that damn ring I know I am half witch and half wolf.” I tell him and I could see the relief in his e

Reese’s POV I was beginning to lose my shit without hearing from Rayne. She said she would call and let me know what was going on with her grandmother, but I haven’t heard a word from her. Finally, I found her grandmother’s home phone number and called the number. An older woman answered the phone and I asked if Rayne was there. She apologized telling me Rayne was away for a birthday get away and I knew at that moment Rayne was lied to by Emma. “Could you please let her know Reese Cooper called from Ridgewood.” I told her grandmother, and I could hear her talking to herself as she wrote it down. We said our goodbye and I hung the phone up and growled as my wolf was trying to rip free from me. Downing the last of my drink trying to calm my wolf I needed to come up with a plan to get to Rayne or get her to me but none of my wolves or I could get into the town limits where I am sure she is. I knew she worked at the diner in her town and it wasn’t hard to find out she work the night

Reese’s POV After Ella escorted Rayne out of the room, Hunter ordered us all to sit. “I didn’t think I would be coming here to be a mate counselor but I guess I’m the right guy for this situation you have yourself in. As you just heard my mate say Caleb and I are both her mates. Yes, it is unusual for the Moon Goddess to give you two mates but sometimes it is necessary like in our situation. Ella has powers that can only be controlled by two mates. She is way too powerful for just one of us to be able to ground her. I believe your hybrid mate will need the same treatment as our mate.” Hunter says to me and looks at the other guy Rayne brought here with her. “What is your name?” Hunter asks him. “Conner.” He says and I could see he wasn’t a bit scared being left in the room with three Alpha’s. “Have you and Rayne made a connection?” Hunter asks him and I listen closely to hear his response. “My people call it twin flame mates.” Conner says and looks at me and adds, “We were to

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

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
