CHAPTER 104

  Lucien:

  I never should have let Raleigh leave.

  I was so stupid! I was an idiot! Why did I let her go? Don't I ever learn from my mistakes? Don't I ever take any precautions to make sure she's safe? What kind of mate am I?

  From the sidelines of the platform, I watched Raleigh and Greg scratch and roar at each other. My tail wagged rapidly behind me, anticipation curling in my stomach with each swipe Greg landed on my beautiful mate.

  Even as a human, Raleigh was still pretty intimidating, and pretty powerful. Lune's influence was controlling her as if she were a robot. Blue wisps of steam hissed from her fingers, the aura in her eyes stronger than the sun's blinding rays themselves.

  Greg pounced again, and with a force I never knew Raleigh could exhibit, she backhanded him into a tree, a loud crunch shattering through the forest. Greg howled and behind me, my pack cheered. Conner and Cindy galloped up to me, both of them looking smug.
