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 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

Reese’s POV Something was off today with Rayne and Conner. When he asked to go with Caleb to their pack I started freaking out thinking Rayne was going to go with him but later overheard Rayne talking to Ella about how long they were going to be gone for and I realized Rayne was staying here with me. Relief swept over me and with Conner gone for a while I would have a chance to work on us. After Rayne had returned with Conner my mind went to a dark place and when Rayne went into heat it slowly brought me out of that dark place. The need to protect and comfort her during her heat consumed me and that’s when I knew that there was no way I was ever going to live without this girl. I just had to convince myself that I could deal with Conner being in the picture to. As I worked on pack business late into the evening there was a knock on my door and I told the person to come in. I was shocked to see it was Conner. He looked like something was deeply troubling him as he came in and took

Reese’s POV As I waited in the greenhouse for Rayne, shadowed by the darkness so I could see her facial reaction with the addition of my touch to tonight’s date. As I thought about the past two weeks, there was no denying that I couldn’t let her go. I needed Rayne in my life like I needed air to breathe. Rayne‘s scent alone was intoxicating and drives my wolf and I crazy to the point I can’t take it any longer not marking her as ours. Her smile, the way she looks at me and her touch I can’t stand not having. Whatever the deal is with Conner I was going to have to deal with it because I have finally accepted that I will do whatever it takes to be with Rayne. Today as Hunter and I talked about more strategies he noticed something was weighing on my mind and he asked. Knowing he is in a similar situation I felt at ease to speak to him about it. As we talked there was so many similarities between himself and me and I was glad to have Hunter here to confide in and my heart felt more a

Rayne’s POV As Reese holds me in his arms from the aftermath of our mating, he runs his fingertips down my bare arm and tiny sparks awaken my skin to his touch. My body now feels so foreign and it is as if I had been reborn the moment I fully gave myself to Reese. The bond is now fully humming between the two of us and I feel an undeniable constant pull to Reese as if there is an unseen rope tethered to each of us drawing us in to one another. Never could I have imagined that the bond could be this strong and I wondered if this was what Reese was feeling the whole time, we were near one another, and how he was able to control not marking me before he did. Pushing up from Reese’s chest I look into his eyes and I see a totally different Reese. He was no longer having to fight his wolf off because I was his and he looked so relaxed and content, as a smile creeped onto his face. “How are you feeling?” He asks me. “Like I was reborn. Everything is so intense. Why didn’t you tell me th
