“You got a minute?” Ray asked him in the morning. He was sitting down on his own bed in the ratty t-shirt he slept in at home, so the formality was all the more disconcerting.

Some characters just won't leave... Ray is one of them. Raymond Halley first made it to the world in Omega for the Pack, where his fate was sealed when he became an omega and he was assigned five alphas to mate with to form a new pack. One of them was his best friend, Josh Jeremiah. But WAIT! That's not what happens here. Ray's pain was my pain and I wanted to give him a chance at something better, so now, 11 years after he was born, I time travelled to before he presented as

“Let’s sneak into your room,” he told Josh when it got too chilly outside.

He missed Ray, there wasn’t more to it. Somehow, they were seeing each other less than they had before they had begun dating. For the last three nights, they hadn’t even got to see each other alone, much less sleep together. It made sense, Ray was trying to step back, but the Halley household the first day of term had been utter chaos.

Maybe he was thinking about school because it was easier than thinking about the full moon. With his whole family preparing for the start of term, it was also inevitable his mind would be drawn to it.

He wasn’t the little kid who’d preferred drawing to almost any activity because he could do it on his own.

Chapter sixty-eight: Ray

Ray woke slowly, nuzzling at his groin in a way that made Josh’s heart jump—he’d dressed to the left today, thankfully. He wasn’t about to turn down Ray’s mouth on him, but he wanted his mate fully awake for it.

The only person more embarrassed than Ray was TJ, which was both amusing and awkward. How on earth had his brother missed what was happening? He hoped they hadn’t been too noisy, but still, his room wasn’t soundproofed at all and TJ was a werewolf. On top of that, there was no way to disguise scent.

He actually laughed as Josh finally pressed close from chest to toes—his whole body shivering with the rightness of it. It felt like he was on a wave of joy, body and soul, with Josh as close as he could get, so Ray could simply let go and be taken to shore, safe, contained... loved.
