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 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 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

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

Rayne’s POV All the anger I had built up inside of me I let fuel the flame that was already burning deep within me. The next thing I knew I was engulfed in flames and it felt amazing. I realized at that moment not only did Reese evolve from me marking him, but I had also, and I could feel the power coursing through my veins. Reese had been concerned about me when I let myself be consumed by the flame but he need not be, because it was the same power, I am sure that made him burn. I focused not on one but all the targets that were set up and I shot the energy out through the tip of my fingers like a bolt of lightning from each and as each target incinerated the flame with in me dissipated. “Baby that was smoking.” Reese says to me in our link and I assure him that I like this game and it was good therapy for me not to kill anyone. Reese began to laugh and Sal stepped forward declaring us the winners. I ran to Reese and jumped into his arms and kissed him hard. Reese once again h
