JAMIE

Knowing Raegan finally knows the truth has me in such a euphoric state, I almost forget about my need to shift. But the longer we sat across from one another in Rhett and Paloma’s house, the tell-tale signs rushed to the forefront of my mind.

My temperature has probably skyrocketed just in the last five minutes, and now there’s a sharp pounding against my temples making the sun too bright and any noise too loud.

Raegan promises she would wait for me at my condo—the one I can now call ours. This brings on another wave of relief, knowing she’ll be safe while I let my wolf run free. The sudden onset migraine almost starts to feel like a mild pin prick at the thought of her being there when I get home. I’ll finally be able to tell her everything I’ve had to keep hidden all these years, every internal struggle and difficult position I’ve been put in. Then maybe I can tell her about the bond.

I have no doubt that if she was able to figure out what I’ve been hiding, she’s also figured out why I’ve been acting the way I have. If she was compelled to find me, surely that means she feels the pull too. I want to ask her, but first, I have to get out of this scorching human body.

Rhett is waiting for us at the front entrance. Based on the shit-eating grin plastered across his face, he’s probably deduced that the woman walking next to me is the mate I was questioning him about earlier.

She’s looking at me knowingly. “I didn’t know you had family in Shadow Hills.”

“Oh you know how the story goes,” Rhett suggests. “Everyone’s got that crazy uncle they don’t like to talk about.” He laughs heartily and Raegan doesn’t bother fighting the smile that comes to her lips.

My nostrils flare, unamused. “Alright, that’s enough. She was just leaving.”

Raegan pulls back and crosses her arms in that tightly tucked protective shield she’s so good at making. I’ve hurt her feelings by rushing her away, but she has to understand, I don’t want her here when I lose control. I can’t promise I won’t accidentally hurt her somehow.

Compared to Rhett, I probably look like I’ve come down with a heinous flu. My uncle on the other hand is as calm and cool as a cucumber, with many decades of shifting under his belt. His control is much steadier than mine, and I envy his years of wisdom.

Rhett looks back and forth from Raegan’s wounded expression to my clear desperation. I can’t stop clenching and unclenching my hands, and
