Rae’s POV

“Toby! Wait! Please!” I holler out. Serenity is whining in my head. Her Alpha just took off on her. I’m left confused. I start to collapse as he ignores me. Chris grabs me before I can fall and I turn into his arms. “I don’t understand what’s happening, Chris.”

He doesn’t respond. He just pulls me into his arms. I feel as if my heart has broken. I am seeing every thing that Toby and I have ever done together flash through my mind. ‘Serenity, I don’t understand. Please, help me. Why do I feel so broken?’

‘He’s our mate, Raleigh. The other tie that you felt. It’s been him all along.’ She says. ‘Why would he leave me like that? Why would he just run? I know that he feels it? His wolf wouldn’t even speak to me.’ She cries.

I feel Chris carrying me and I can’t seem to care. I just want to know what is going on. I glance up to see if I can get a read on him but his face is closed off. I guess that his mind is closed off as well because I can’t into his head. I sigh, closing my

    Toby’s POVSitting across from Ryan, with my heart aching, all I can think about is Rae. Why can’t I get her off of my mind even while I am sitting here drunk. It takes a lot to get us drunk so I must’ve drank a lot more than I remember. Her face, as she saw me, flashes in front of my eyes. Her smile, the way her hair seemed to shine as she ran towards me, and the genuine happiness that I felt from her plagues my mind.“Are you going to tell me what happened?” Ryan asks, as I throw another shot back.I look around the empty club. I open my mouth to say something but all that comes out is, “Nope.”I grabs the glass from my hands. “What happened, Toby?” He presses.Sighing, no longer having a reason to feign having something to do, and I explain everything to him. My heart aches but it’s not for the reason that you would think. I’m not mad at her. I’m not jealous of Chris, well maybe a little, I’m just sad because I don’t understand. Why does she have two? Where does that leave me now t

    Two days. Two days is how long I’ve stayed here at Ryan’s. I need to go home. I tried to stop thinking about Rae but I couldn’t. No matter what I did, or how busy I was, I could not keep her off of my mind. So, here I am packing up the few clothes that I bought while I was here. Even though I was initiated as Alpha, my father took care of the pack while I was gone. I’ll sneak back into the pack, and get caught up on some things, before I make my way to Rae. As much as Cian and I long to see her, I’m afraid that I will walk right into her and Chris snuggling together. A knock sounded on my door and I turned to see Ryan standing in the door. “Hey, what’s up?” I ask. “You want a ride to the border?” He asks. I think about it for a second. ‘I would like to run.’ Cian says. ‘I really need to blow off some steam. I know that mother said that we need to go back to Rae but it doesn’t seem fair. I mean, what if Chris doesn’t want to share her? What if we can’t actually share her? Or worse,

    Chris’s POV Rae is twirling around in the yard, enjoying the warmth of the sun, when I feel a sudden presence come up behind me. I spin around and see Toby coming at me. I glance at Rae, to ensure that she doesn’t see us, and I walk towards Toby. I brace for the fight that I know is coming. I’ve heard the rumors and it hurts that she’s the target. I’m not sorry for what I’ve done. I love Rae and, according to her wolf, I am her mate. I get to have her, too. I don’t know what I will do if she decides to leave, though. The other thing that has been plaguing me, lately, is that I’ve been feeling a presence around us. There is no one ever there but it feels threatening. I am hoping to be able to talk to Toby about it, so he can help guard her but it doesn’t look like that is what he wants to do right now. “I’m not sure if I should punch you in the face right now or just walk off with her.” Toby roars at me. I raise my hands up in surrender. “Or, we could do neither of those things and

    Rae’s POV I watch as Chris walks off, trying to distract myself from my nerves, and rub the grass off of my legs. My heart is racing so fast that I am having a hard time breathing. I think that I might actually have a heart attack. Serenity snorts. ‘Toby is our mate. Stop being such a chicken.’ She says. ‘I’m afraid to even look at him.’ I admit. ‘He’s not going to hurt you, sweetie. His wolf loves us.’ ‘How do you know that?’ I ask, curious. Serenity’s laugh should embarrass me but it eases my mind instead. ‘We can talk to each other when we want.’ My eyes widen. ‘What? How?’ ‘The same way that we can talk to you.’ A male voice intervenes. My heart stops, and I glance up at Toby. He is looking at me with a shy but sexy smirk. ‘Are you listening in to my conversation?’ I ask him. I can see the color rising into his cheek. He looks kind of cute blushing like that. ‘You were sort of broadcasting. Or, maybe your wolf was.’ He shrugs. “Why are we talking in our heads, though? We

    Chris’s POV She just walks off. She blocks off my mind link with her and she just walks off. I’m so furious right now. Jealousy rules my mind. My head hurts as I realize that I have been pulling at my hair. I take a deep breath and blow out my frustration. “That didn’t go well.” A male voice says, startling me. I had forgotten that Preston was here. “Yeah.” I admit. “That didn’t go nearly as I had hoped. I didn’t think that she would just run off with him. I mean, we’re married. What will people think?” “Hm. I don’t think that’s what is really bothering you.” Preston says. I glance at him but he cuts in before I can respond. “Well, I have a nephew to go see so I guess that I’ll see in a bit.” “Wait. I’ll come with you. I haven’t seen Jordan since yesterday.” I tell him. He nods, and starts to turn towards his sisters wings. “I’m not sure how you keep these visits a secret from your wife, Chris, but she’s going to eventually find out. Then if you think that she might choose him n

    Rae’s POV Simply delicious. Toby definitely knows how to cook. The flavors that are busting through this pasta causes a moan to slip through my throat. Toby chuckles causing heat to rush to my cheeks. I peek up at him and see that he’s watching me instead of eating. “Are you not hungry?” I ask shyly. “Not really. Watching you seems to fill me up pretty well.” I blush. “That’s sort of a strange thing to say.” “I know. That’s me. Strange.” I shake my head. Sitting back, I pause eating myself. “I’m not going to eat any more until you at least take a few bites.” He give me a small smile. “I just can’t stop watching the faces that you make.” He laughs. I raise my brows up in challenge. “I guess it’s too bad that you’re not eating.” Immediately, he picks up his fork and starts twirling the noodles. I wait until he shoves into his mouth before I do the same. Out of the corner of my eye, I see him smiling as he looks at me. When he doesn’t go for another bite, I pause in eating. Sigh

    Toby’s POV All goes quiet when we enter the dining hall. I feel Rae stiffen a bit as every eye turns toward her. I grab a tighter hold on her hand so that she remembers that I am here. She glances up and smiles at me, brightening my whole world. The world stops spinning as she seems to glow. Someone’s fork hitting their plate shook off the effects. I can feel my face heat up. I turn back towards the crowd and I can see some faces that are showing open hostility. The growl that springs from my chest comes without warning. Everyone closes off their expressions, leaning their neck, showing submission. I smile down at her as I step forward towards the table. “What would you like to eat, little Luna?” I whisper. “Uh, I’m not sure. I’m not really feeling very hungry all of a sudden.” She says softly. Once we reach the head of the table, I wrap her up in my arms. “It does not matter what these people think, sweetheart. I love you no matter what. Do not let them see you upset because the

    Rae’s POV The house is a buzz of activity. People, or should I say wolves, are flying around everywhere. The looks on most of their faces are pure joy. It warms my heart that most people accept me. The young teenagers seem to be excited about the party to come. I’ve never been to too many parties, only Chris’s birthday parties and my own sixteenth birthday party. I shudder as that one was a disaster. We still don’t know who, or what, killed all those people. My mind wanders to the possibility of something like this happening again. “What’s are your mind, dearie?” Melinda says. “Oh, I was thinking about my birthday.” I shudder. “What do you think is going to happen tonight?” “Are you worried that it would end up the same?” She asks, placing her palms on my face. “Doesn’t it seem odd to you?” I ask. “That nothing has happened in a year? I feel like I am always waiting for something to happen. Even when I do forget for a little bit, it sits in the back of my mind. And, I.” I freeze

    Rae’s POV I open my eyes to bright light. I look around and find myself in a field. Did I die? My heart breaks realizing that I am not going to see my husbands or my children. I slowly stand up and weave my hands through the grass. I glance around when I feel a presence around me. A man steps out of the shadows and my breath hitches. “Daddy?” I ask. “Hello, pumpkin.” He says. I run to him and jump into his arms. “Daddy, I’ve missed you.” “I have missed you too, pumpkin.” He whispers. “What are you doing here?” I ask. “I came to see you. I am supposed to walk you to the moon goddess.” “The moon goddess?” I ask. “Am I dead?” He smiles sadly. “Not yet, dear. There are some very determined people working on you. But, you are dying. Come.” He says, as he wraps his arms around my shoulders. I can’t help but cry. I am glad that I get to see him but I don’t want to leave everyone else behind. “I am proud of you, pumpkin.” He says. “I have been keeping an eye on you. You, and your m

    Rae’s POV “Push, baby. You have this. One more time. You’ve got this.” Chris says. I feel like breaking off his fingers with this next push. Despite all of my yelling, and squishing his fingers, he has the brightest smile and radiates happiness. “Where is Toby?” I ask. “I want to wait for Toby.” I whine. “He’s almost here, baby. You know that he had to go to Ryan’s territory. This baby doesn’t want to wait. They are ready come out.” I blow out a breath. He doesn’t have to remind me. I can feel them pushing out. I groan. Toby had to leave to go help Ryan because a few of the hunters that escaped our raids have been causing issues. He’s been gone for a whole week. Now, he’s not here and the babies are coming without him. I want to cry. “You can do this, Rae. One more push and he’s out.” Linda says. I take a deep breath as Chris pushes me up. As I push as hard as possible, the door flies open and Toby rushes in. He rushes to stand on my other side. I am unable to say anything as I

    Toby’s POV As Raleigh falls, I rush to catch her. My heart is pounding in my chest. I know that she hasn’t been feeling well lately but I haven’t wanted to bug her about it. ‘Chris, meet me at the pack doctor’s office.’ I holler through the link. ‘Already on my way.’ She groans in her sleep and I pick up speed. I should have seen this coming after everything that we have been doing over the last year. She must’ve exhausted herself out. ‘Cian, can you detect what’s wrong?’ I ask my wolf. ‘Serenity has been blocking us out for the last week or so. I’ve tried to ask if everything is okay but she just assures me that she’s tired.’ ‘Do you think that it has anything to do with what we just did?’ I ask, nervously. A huge wave of guilt hits me. Maybe I shouldn’t have pressed that. Now, that I think about it, she hasn’t been very active in the bedroom lately, either. Cian scoffs. ‘Of course not. It has to be something else.’ “Let me see her.” Chris snaps, pulling me out of my head with

  • Erondale   Chapter 105

    Chris’s POV Exhaustion doesn’t even begin to cover how I am feeling right now. We have traveled three quarters of the globe and destroyed many hunters. I feel like I should have some guilt over this but I don’t. These are the scums of the earth. We ran into some hunter camps that had scientists working on humans. Labs were in more than half of the camps. Humans caged in cells smaller than a bathroom. Speaking of bathroom, they only had a pan to use as theirs. The smells that encompassed these labs were enough to make every one of us vomit. That was before we even saw the first cell. On top of the surface, they look like cabins. We would have not even noticed them if it wasn’t for Jessica. Toby’s top warrior. She smelled something. Of course, she found out that she was pregnant and that’s why she was able to smell it when the rest of us couldn’t. We destroyed the house before we found the secure wall. Magic was in play because once we found it, the house shifted on the outside to s

    Toby’s POV Watching Rae and Chris work their magic is incredible. We have arrived at yet another base of Hunters. This one wasn’t as kind as the last five that we arrived at. Most of those five surrendered and agreed to a peace treaty. This one, however, every one was tainted with hatred. A hatred for something that they didn’t understand. The way these hunters live is similar to how our packs live. They are familiar based. I would feel bad for some of these humans but, they are so full of hatred, they can’t be saved. My warriors and I have taken all of the small children, handing them off to the humans. They will figure out who to give them too. There are some hunters that lost their children due to the severity of the battles they waged. All of them were lead to believe that all supernaturals were a danger to them. When Rae stood up in front of them, and offered peace, only a few challenged her. Mostly the oldest ones were filled with hatred. Rae gave them plenty of chances. She

    Rae’s POV 2 weeks later I’m dressed up and ready to go. We’re headed to a small town full of hunters. We have sent out squads of warriors from the castle out on the hunt. One set came up with a small town that was full of them. It’s in another part of the world. Sadly, this makes me think of Emma. I feel the tears slipping down my face. Chris walks up behind me and wraps me up in my arms. Yes, I said Chris. In the last two weeks, he has explained things to me. While I am still mad at him, I decided to give him another chance. “It will be okay, Raleigh.” He says. I shake my head. I killed my best friend. “Rae, it was you or her.” Toby said, coming into the room. “I understand that.” I whisper. “It’s just that I feel like it’s sort of my fault. Of course, she is sort of right. She isn’t the only one to feel that way.” Chris stiffens. Toby comes to stand in front. The heat and sparks coming from both of my mates, sends comfort through me. I held onto Toby while I leaned against

    Rae’s POV 2 months later Laughter escapes my mouth as I run around the island. Toby is trying to spread icing on my face. Of course, it’s payback because I did it first. We were invited to a birthday party of one of the pups. Their mother asked me to cut the cake and I couldn’t resist. The kids are laughing at mine and Toby’s antics. He feints to the right. Too bad that I noticed he looked to my right first. See, he has a tell tale sign because he is worried that I am going to hurt myself. So, he just looks in that area first. I’m not even sure that he notices it. “You can’t escape me forever, Rae, darling.” He taunts. “Oh yeah?” I taunt back. “Yeah. It’s only fair you know. Don’t you kids agree?” He asks the kids. “The boys agree while the girls say a resounding ‘no’.” We both laugh. I squeal as he makes a move that I didn’t see. I jump across the island and stop in my tracks, my breath freezing in my chest. How did I not hear anyone come up from behind me? The lady standing

    Rae’s POVThe warmth of two bodies surround me as consciousness pulls at me again. I remember their names, Toby and Chris. I feel so comfortable that I don’t even want to open my eyes. I just want to go back to sleep. I don’t even know how I got into this position.The bed does not even feel like the same bed that I had been in last night. It’s softer, bigger, and allows the two of them in it. I am squished between these two men. Something nags at me, telling me that I know these two men and that they are an important part of my life.Why can’t I remember them? ‘You will.’ Something in my head says. I’m not bothered by this voice as I know that she is somehow a part of me. ‘Go back to sleep, Rae. When you wake, your memory will return.’ I remember the last time she said that I was blocking myself. ‘You’re opening it up subconsciously. Though, I am sure that it has to do with these cute men beside us. They are your mates, afterall.’Hmm. Okay, maybe I should just get some sleep then. T

    Rae’s POVDarkness surrounds me. I can’t seem to understand what is going on in my mind. I feel intense pain and I can hear some voices. I feel as if I should recognize them but I can’t seem to concentrate enough to hear them plainly. Two male voices are very distinct. They seem to be talking to a meek lady.Suddenly, I feel someone pick me up. I feel the pain but I am unable to make a sound or move. I feel a feather like electricity shoot through my temple as someone leaves a kiss. Who is this? There is something in my mind that tells me that I know.A cold rush hits my body as I am taken outside. At least I assume it is outside.“Hold on, little Luna.” I hear, sounding far away.“Please, my Love.” The second voice says.“This way. Hurry, before he gets back.” The meek voice says.I feel a shift in direction. Why can’t I open my eyes? Why do I feel so weak?“Hurry up!” She says again. “I don’t know how long he’ll be kept out of this plane. He’s arguing with his brother right now.”Wh
