Rayne’s POV I awoke to daylight slipping through the window of the cabin that my captures had brought me to. My head was pounding from whatever was in the shot they gave me and when I tried to move my hands, they were bond to the bed. The sounds of two people arguing came from outside my door and I tried to listen closely to hear what they were saying. “You told me if I did this for you that you would finally accept me as your mate.” The male voice said and if I was correct, I believed it was Ethan. Was that why Ethan was helping her? “In due time. I must get rid of her once and for all first and then we can be together. You will become Alpha after Reese loses it from losing his precious Luna and I will become the new Luna of the Ridge Moon pack.” She says and I can’t believe what I am hearing. How long have they been planning to take my mate down. “But what about the witches? You don’t think they are going to be a problem.” Ethan now asks and I know now why Emma was trying to
Reese’s POV It was morning by the time we made it near where the cabin was located. Caleb stayed behind to protect the packhouse just in case of an attack and Hunter and Conner came along with Emma in tow. To say I wasn’t pleased with her presence was an understatement but if she tried to pull anything I had Hunter to watch my back. The whole trip there I played the events of the night Kera attacked Rayne in my head and how Ethan was the one who took Kera down before she could get to Rayne and I wondered now why he just didn’t let her kill Rayne. Was it because he knew I was there? Was he hidden in the darkness that night letting Kera and Rayne fight it out? And what connection does he have with Kera? I never really saw them talk too much around me. Did the witches have him under some kind of spell? Nothing was adding up and it was driving me mad knowing that my Beta had betrayed me and his Luna. And then my thoughts went to Rayne and how I promised her that I would protect her w
Reese’s POV When the pack doctor told me that Rayne would be fine but would wake when her body was healed I felt relief take over and the tension in my body began to relax. I had the doctor do what was necessary to help her heal but insisted that she remain in our bedroom and stationed Shawn and Eric to stand guard at my door and not let anyone but the doctor or myself through. Ella insisted to remain by Rayne side and I felt comfortable having her there with Rayne as I had issues that needed to be attended to. Walking into the basement the smell of iron filled my nose and I knew that Hunter was already interrogating our new prisoners. Ethan’s bloodied body laid on the floor in the corner of the cell while Conner held his hand out towards the cloaked man who was hung in midair with Hunter standing in front of him. “I’m only going to ask you one more time. What were your orders?” Hunter said to the cloaked man as he held his partially shifted hand in the air ready to strike again at
Rayne’s POV The smell of mint tingles my senses and I take in a deep breath wanting to fill every inch of my being with his scent. If this was heaven then the Moon Goddess was playing with my emotions because all I wanted was to be in Reese’s arms knowing he would protect me from what was to come. Heat now engulfed me and I could feel his arms wrapped tightly around me as I let my body snuggle into his embrace. “Rayne baby, please come back to me.” I heard Reese voice like he was here with me but I know he can’t be because all I see is darkness. Then I feel his lips press softly against mine and my skin begins to tingle to his touch like it was being jump started. Power now begins to surge from somewhere deep within me and I begin to feel almost alive again, but I know this can’t be true because I felt my life slip from me while the smoke and flames engulfed me. A single tear fell from my eye and I felt it glide down my cheek thinking I will never see Reese again. My heart bega
Rayne’s POV Reese held me as I cried myself to sleep for the remainder or the night. My heart ached for what I made Ethan do knowing it was causing him so much pain. Reese kept telling me that the pain would pass and Ethan would be set free from Kera’s further persuasion of him but it seems death would have been an easier punishment for him. I didn’t completely think it through what I was asking of him to do and my heart ached thinking about how it must feel to reject your other half knowing how strong the mate bond is now. Morning came and Reese helped me get a shower even though I felt capable of doing it myself. I could see a difference in him and how attentive he was with me. The kidnapping must have taken a toll on him and he must just be feeling the aftereffects I told myself so I obliged letting him bathe me. I was not going to reject any affection he was willing to give me because it was also soothing to me having him with me especially since I thought I was never going to
Reese’s POV Rayne gave me a soft smile and I took that as a yes. I pulled her body up to me and I pulled her shirt up over her head and then undid her bra as her breasts sprung free. Her body was perfect and every time I saw her naked it was like the first time again for me knowing that my desire for her will never go away. Laying her body back down on the bed I began to gently kiss her lips and then moved down her naked torso taking in a hardened nipple in my mouth nipping and sucking on the rose-colored flesh. Rayne’s back arched into me and a moan slipped from her lips as I moved my attention to her other hardened nipple that deserved the same amount of attention. My hand slid down her body and I slipped it under her pants and panties finding her pussy dripping wet for me. That was one thing I loved about my baby she was always ready for me. I let out a growl as I felt her moisten entrance and stuck a finger into her tight pussy knowing my cock was going to be deep inside of it s
Rayne’s POV As soon as my canines broke the flesh on Reese a surge of power came to life within me and flowed from me to him. It was as if our two essences where mingling with each other’s becoming one. Never did I think I could feel closer to Reese but now I feel like I am truly a part of him. Reese’s body went limp on top of me after I retracted my canines from his flesh and I began to worry that I had done something wrong but then he pushed himself up and our eyes lock. I gasped at the site of his eyes that were now glowing red like he had a fire burning within him, a fire I am sure I put there. “That was incredible.” He said as he moved his lips towards mine and I stop him by saying, “Reese your eyes.” Reese looked at me confused when he said, “What about my eyes?” I hesitate not knowing how to explain it but then decided to just tell him what it looked like. “Your eyes are glowing red like you have a fire lit inside of you.” Reese moved his hand to his eyes like he wou
Reese’s POV Well, I didn’t realize that it was going to be this obvious that I let Rayne mark me as hers but as soon as Hunter and Caleb saw me they knew with my red glowing eyes. Next thing I knew we were outside, and they wanted to see if her powers coursing through me changed my wolf. The Warlock Witch and Conner followed us, and Conner stood beside the Warlock with his hands across over his chest and I wondered if he was jealous that Rayne marked me or if it was the fact that I now had some of the power he has that made him different from me. “Well let’s see it.” Hunter says to me, and I step away from them and shed my clothes and begin to shift. The shift felt different as my wolf took over and the fire within me now explodes into a flame around me. “Holy shit.” I hear Caleb say as I look down at my paws which look like they are on fire. “He looks like a Hell Hound but in a wolf’s body.” Hunter says and I am wondering if that is a good thing or a bad thing because from w
