Chapter 58

Collar Free

I would like to, but the witch hasn't come yet and if I do anything like that this collar will tighten until I can't breathe. With that comment made, Dylan came banging on the door.

Come in, Dylan.

The witch is here to help you.

Tell her I will be right there.

Why do you need a witch? Chris is now confused for the umpteen time today. This has been a very confusing day.

The Alpha couldnt mate me with a bite, I am too young. So, he put this mating collar on me. No one can take it off except him.

We are hoping the witch can magically take it off. If she cant you and I will never mate, the collar will strangle me for betraying him.

That is some shit. We better get to the witch and hope she can fix this.

The witch looks at the collar, I have not seen these in ages.

He wanted me as his mate, but I was too young. He was not my mate, he was lying. I did not bite him or mark him, this was his only option and as you see I am stuck with it.

There is magic in the collar, very strong magic, I don't know if I can break the spell that is on the collar. I will see what I can do. She examines the collar closer. It can't come off without him?

That is what he said.

Is there any way we can get something that belongs to him. Something that has a strong smell of him.

I'll head over to his office, and I'll get some of the clothes he left behind, the ones from when he was with those, she-wolves. That should be strong enough. Its going to be the strongest smell we can get of him to trick the collar.

He kidnapped you and then slept around on you? Chris is about to shift he is so upset.

What he did is not important, getting this collar of is. Ray places her hand on his arm to calm him down.

Jamie came running in, I found his undergarments on the floor in the office in the corner. We know what he did with them and should hold his strongest smell.

She takes it and tucks it between Rays neck and the collar. This should work.

Just what I need his smell right next to my nose. Ray complains.

It is what we need to get rid of the collar. She wraps another pair around her hands and says a few magic words then she unbuckles the collar. You are free I have removed the collar. Before Ray knows it, the collar Is laying on the floor.

Mariah in Rays head yells, We're free!

What do you want for payment for releasing me? Ray asks so thankful that its off.

I know the Alpha that did this to you. He is a cruel man, he has bragged about what he did to you. I hate that man, he has used me to get his way at times. I am glad he is gone, and I am sorry for what he did to you. I know of your magic you have earned it. Your moon goddess made a good choice with you. If you need me again call, I will come and help you. In the future witches and werewolves will need each other.

You know what the moon goddess is getting ready for?

I am a seer, I see many things. I will help you when the time comes.

Thank you, thank you so much. Ray says rubbing her neck.

The future for your and my kind is up in the air. After saying that the witch leaves. With everyone in the room wondering what she meant.

Its time to get some rest, Ray take a shower and get rid of that smell, his smell. Mariah is holding her nose talking to her.

I need a shower to get rid of his smell. Even my wolf cant take his stink. Chris, I am heading home will I see you later?

Im never leaving you again. The two of them walk to her house. You take your shower.

When she is out of her shower. Ray does not see Chris. Her first thought is he left, he decided it was too much. Doris sees me and understands my look. He said he would be right back. He had to get something. With a sigh Ray goes in to check on her daughters.

She looks at each one, they are so beautiful sleeping there. It is Lisas turn to help with the pups, she is cuddled up sleeping on the cot. It's been a long day, my life is about to get better, at least I hope so. I am taking Lisas lead and going to get some sleep this has been a long day.

She is startled awake when she hears someone closing her bedroom door. Whos there? She lifts her head, and after looking around the room she didn't see anybody. Mariah did you hear anyone?

I was sleeping I didnt hear anything. Thinking she had imagined it she laid back down. She was about to fall back to sleep until she felt the mattress going down alongside her. She sends a strong gush of wind and blows whoever it is on the floor.

Its me Chris.

Chris, what are you doing in here?

I'm sleeping with my mate. Then he gets off the floor, I want to spend the night with you. He climbs back in bed, starts kissing her, passionately. When he lets go of Ray, she is short of breath, I have not seen you in a while. If I can't have you in my bed as my mate yet, I want to at least cuddle with you. It is so comforting to have you in my arms.

We only have a short time to sleep the pups will be up soon.

Oh, does that mean I am not going to get lucky? He says with a little playful smirk on his face.

Ray s cheeks turn red, You are so irresistible, but we have company, and she points to Lisa who is sleeping in the bed at the far end of the room.

Well, a man could dream, couldn't he? He laughs and kisses her gently. It's late let's get some sleep. He lays there next to Ray, puts his arm over her pulling her into his chest. Both are sleeping, content to be in each others arms. Until they hear pups crying.

Ill get then you sleep. Ray climbs over him to get the baby that is crying.

Chris is holding his ears as Ray climbs over him. Is this how it is every night?

She gives him a small pat on his shoulder stretching as she stands up. Every night. Go back to sleep. Lisa and I will take care of the pups.
