Chapter Fifty-Nine

Adrian

Avoidance only ever works for so long. It doesn’t disappear a problem. It doesn’t fix anything. I know all of that, and yet I can’t seem to break out of the habit. It’s ingrained into me too deeply.

When Carter asks me to come and watch over our girl while he and Silas deal with a ghost, I have to admit I’ve been doing it again. I know it needs to be different this time, and not just because for the first time ever my prophetic dream wasn’t useless.

Rachel didn’t die. I just wish I hadn’t had to turn her into a hybrid to save her.

It was how it had to be. Carter knew. I saw it in his eyes when he took her hand and told me I had to do it. What happened was exactly what he’d seen. It was fated.

Had to be, didn’t it? She never would have become our mate otherwise.

It’s all so messed up. Feels wrong.

I sigh as I pace around the downstairs hallway.

Silas and Carter left to deal with the ghost a few minutes ago, bickering almost the instant they moved outside. I listened near the door for a bit. Sounded like the ghost was being pretty demanding. They were probably going to be gone for a while.

Rachel would likely sleep the whole time. She’d worn herself out. I’d felt it out at the woods, after she teleported the car. She was powerful. I’d never seen anything like it before, and there were all kinds of rare hybrid witches at the academy.

Her wolf was strong too. My wolf was enthusiastic about claiming hers.

I stop pacing and start up the stairs. I need to see her, to try and make sense of everything.

She’s in Carter’s room, sleeping in his bed. My wolf has feelings about that. Possessive, jealous feelings that catch me off guard. He’s my Omega. He should know his place.

Then again, I remind myself, she’s our mate.

Our tiny pack gained a fourth member and she’s destined to be with all three of us.

Not just me. I’m not sure I’d even want that. I never dared hope I’d meet my mate. It’s never a certainty, and even less so for hybrids. We’re not that well accepted by shifter-kind in general. Our blood dilutes lines. But she’s like us now.

I cursed her to this new life.

My wolf feels pride as I look down on her sleeping face. She’s beautiful. I can’t deny that. She’s also strong. A fighter. Powerful. Determined. No one who saw what happened to her, what she’s capable of could argue those points.

But my feelings don’t echo those of my wolf. He growls at my attitude as I walk away from her.

I don’t deserve her. Even if I hadn’t been the one to turn her into one of us, I couldn’t let her throw her life away for us. She’s worth more than that. More than us.

The only way to make this right is to walk away from her.

If I have to walk away from Silas and Carter to do that, I will.
