Fated Magic (The Wolf Pack) Read Free

he had watching his lovely mate turn green and run from the dining room at some point during almost every meal for the larger part of five months.  Even though all the damned books he’d read had said it would end sooner, the physician had assured them that exceptions were common and it would eventually pass.  When Ruby had finally returned from a trip to the Congo and she’d heard how ill her granddaughter had been, she’d shown up the next day with a small bottle of purple slime that immediately ended the problem.  From that point on, Kit had been famished and everyone in the house had joyfully fed her anything and everything she’d asked for. 
    Ruby had returned each week with a new bottle and he’d cornered her the third week and asked what was going on.  Ruby Stone was a force of nature and Jameson had a huge amount of respect for her and her magical abilities.  Kit’s mother was also a gifted witch, but she lacked Ruby’s easy going attitude , and Carla Harris’s continual criticism of her daughter hadn’t set well with either he or his brother.  Ruby had grinned and said she was only giving Kit vitamins at this point, but she was also teaching her a bit of magic and renewing the protections spells she’d placed on Kit and their children each time she visited. 
    They hadn’t heard from Ruby in a couple of weeks and he’d asked Kit about it just last night while they’d been watching television.  She had assured him it was perfectly normal.  “Both my mother and grandmother fly off at a moment’s notice when they are needed or the Supreme Council summons them.  I just hope Granny Good Witch gets her happy self back here soon, I’m out of purple slime and when I tried to make it myself I had a problem in the kitchen.” 
    Trev had burst out laughing.  “A problem ?  Are you kidding?  The cooks were terrified and banned you from the kitchen.”  Turning to Jameson he added, “Our sweet mate isn’t allowed in there without supervision.  It took the staff hours to clean the goo off every surface, including the ceiling.”  Jameson had looked at Kit in disbelief and just raised his brow in question. 
    “Well…yeah, they were pretty miffed.  But banned is really a pretty strong word.  I’d really prefer to think of it as a recommendation.  And I know you are wondering why you didn’t know about this.”  Jameson had become amused as he’d watched her become suddenly interested in looking at everything in the room but him.  “Well, I sort of bribed everyone so they wouldn’t rat me out.”  When he frowned, she’d quickly added, “You know how you get.  And I love you for being protective, I really do.  But it can be a bit stifling at times and…well, I really do have to learn this stuff.” 
    Jameson had fought the laughter threaten ing to bubble up, but he knew his lips had twitched and that she hadn’t missed it when he saw her shoulders sag in relief.  “Okay, kitten, new rules for you my lovely mate.  We’ll install anything you need for a learning lab in one of the back sheds, but you have to have your granny or mother with you and you have to wear a lead apron to protect the babies, and goggles…and gloves…and anything else I can dream up to protect you between now and then.”  She had reluctantly agreed and then he’d scooped her up and quickly made his way to their bed. 
    And now today, toward the end of their meeting, he and Trev had both been overwhelmed with an all-consuming fear that they had both known was coming from Kit.  They’d both run from the room in a blind panic searching for their mate and had been quickly directed outside by one of their pack mates who was just coming in the backdoor.  Jameson had been so overwhelmed with rage that he hadn’t immediately registered her fear wasn’t from someone that was actually present, but was from someone speaking in her mind.  Whoever it had been was skilled enough to block both of her mates
