227 Caine: Voyeur
But then my eyes travel farther, in the shadows between two buildings. Even my enhanced sight can’t pinpoint the body I know is there.
I open my eyes again, staring through the darkness at the place where Rafe stands. I can see that for myself. I’m asking why you allowed him to get this close.
As expected, he’s making my job easier.
Reggie.
Understood, High Alpha.
Her hips shift uncomfortably as I run my hand over her back. “Are you still dripping?”
Don’t you dare use Grace as bait, Fenris warns me, his entire body stiffening from his position under the camper.
“I’m not.” Insulted by my own wolf’s lack of faith, I hop back into the vehicle, though I don’t start it.
Her head moves in another slow nod. “I need a shower. I can’t get back into bed like this. I’m gross.”
Would you like me to remove the Blue Mountain Alpha with force? Reggie suddenly offers, a hint of eagerness in his mental voice.
“Not tonight. I have some work to finish.”
The question is asked with perfect deference, making my finger tap a little harder. Reggie isn’t far from the Blue Mountain Alpha, with stronger senses. He’s fully aware of what happened here just minutes ago, but I’ve been very clear about Grace’s status. The man must be confused, and yet he isn’t asking questions. How strange.
“Um, thank you,” she stammers, backing away the moment I hop out of the truck. “I should… check on Bun and Sara. Make sure they didn’t wake up.”
I pull my jeans back up properly, fixing myself, and glance up to see her staring at my crotch looking even more crimson than before. Her mortification is clear on her face, her gaze fixed on the wet stain she left behind.
He’s still there, watching. I can feel his eyes on the camper–on her.
I chuckle. No. Let him be for now, but don’t let him come any closer. Let him see what he’s lost. Let him understand who she belongs to.
Yes, High Alpha?
He’s probably itching to show his prowess after the massive sucker punch from Lyre’s magical protections.
The new alpha seems disinclined to keep his distance from Grace, but at least he didn’t arrive in time to scent her climax, only its aftermath. Still…
CAINE
A faint nodding sensation against my shoulder.
Since I’ve been, in essence, discarded after the deed, I circle the truck to enter through the driver’s side this time, letting my gaze drift to the shadows between two buildings.
It’s an interesting feeling, to be ditched after sex. My lips twitch as she opens the door gingerly, before waving at me one last time.
Her body stiffens. “No. I’m fine.”
He isn’t in the wrong for waiting; if Rafe has no intention of approaching Grace yet, it’s better not to reveal his presence. Blowing out a sigh, I reply, Nothing yet. Keep watching.
He’s drunk, High Alpha. But he’s making no attempt to get closer. Just… watching. “Positive.” Her voice is barely a squeak against my neck, making my lips quirk up. The faint buzzing returns for a second, only to disappear again.
Alternately, he’s gotten his naughty little paws on wolfsbane.
It should be a positive thing, but my lips turn down a little at the thought of our connection being reduced in any way. But more importantly, we need to get to the bottom of this transference. If this truly is something I can manipulate, Grace will never be in danger again.
And lose her scent? Absolutely not.
Interesting mate you’ve chosen. She takes what she wants and runs.
“Do you want me to wipe you down?”
“Of course 1–oh.” Suddenly, the strange feeling disappears. “Yes.

Yes, High Alpha.
Not yet, I finally answer, feeling somewhat disgruntled.As if I would leave when another man’s watching over my mate and children.

Grace needs to get a grip of herself and starts acting like a responsible adult if she wants Caine to treat her as his equal and trust her being a strong capable woman...
All the things she is thinking in her head, she should just tell him like that. Nothing wrong in saying she wants to be treated as equal, have responsibilities....
Well... i "acquired" as you say this child a couple of hours ago! Obviously I didn't make her overnight! 😅🤣...
Ferris 😍😍 Caine is definitely not the brightest bulb in the pack! 😅Thanks God Jack-Eye is smarter! 😉...
This girl is really slow to understand despite living with wolf for so many years.🙄 Caine is a caveman 🤦🏼♀️...
Yet again the wolf is smarter than the man.... Caine is missing really missing interactions skills!...
Fighting the obvious! I love 😍 Fenris! The escape plan is a dead one, completely...
So his wolf can separate and they speak together? Interesting 🤔😊 that's new...
