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 Palomaâs 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 thereâs 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 condoâthe one I can now call ours. This brings on another wave of relief, knowing sheâll 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. Iâll finally be able to tell her everything Iâve had to keep hidden all these years, every internal struggle and difficult position Iâve 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 Iâve been hiding, sheâs also figured out why Iâve 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, heâs probably deduced that the woman walking next to me is the mate I was questioning him about earlier.
âYou must be Raegan,â Rhett says, extending his hand to shake hers as we approach. âIâm Jamieâs Uncle Rhett.â
Her unblemished hand takes his weathered one and for a moment I think he might crush her delicate fingers. I can feel the growl climbing up my throat, but Rhett gives me a placating look, as if to say âchill out, Iâm not hurting your girl.â
Sheâs looking at me knowingly. âI didnât know you had family in Shadow Hills.â
âOh you know how the story goes,â Rhett suggests. âEveryoneâs got that crazy uncle they donât like to talk about.â He laughs heartily and Raegan doesnât bother fighting the smile that comes to her lips.
My nostrils flare, unamused. âAlright, thatâs enough. She was just leaving.â
Raegan pulls back and crosses her arms in that tightly tucked protective shield sheâs so good at making. Iâve hurt her feelings by rushing her away, but she has to understand, I donât want her here when I lose control. I canât promise I wonât accidentally hurt her somehow.
Compared to Rhett, I probably look like Iâve 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 Raeganâs wounded expression to my clear desperation. I canât stop clenching and unclenching my hands, and
