The Moonlight Breed 6

Let the Rain Come Down

After spending a decade of doing exactly what he’s told and having every minute of his life choreographed for him, Oscar has no idea what to do now that he’s free. Keeping him and his friends hidden from people who want to hurt them is top priority, but he can’t help wanting something more for himself.

Neither completely man nor animal, but somewhere between, Demitrius Accola has lived his life as an outcast, enduring the fear and judgment of others because of his appearance. Assigned to protect the new Moonlighters in Haven, he never thought he’d find his mate. Nor did he expect that the little shifter would be completely unafraid of him.

When the past Oscar is trying to outrun finally catches up with him, there’s no question of how far Demitrius will go to protect his mate. It’s only a question of if it will be enough.

Chapter One

“You don’t have to leave, Mr. Accola.”

Demitrius stared back at the coven leader, Stavion, and contemplated his options for a long time before finally responding. “I think it’s best for everyone if I just go on my way.”

If not for the half-starved and beaten man who had shown up on his doorstep, he wouldn’t have been in Haven at all. Other than a first name, he didn’t know who the guy was, didn’t owe him anything, yet he hadn’t been able to turn away the battered half-breed.

So, Demitrius had brought him—Jeremy—inside his small house near the base of the mountains, fed him, and attended his wounds. Once the sun had set, he’d practically carried Jeremy the entire four-mile hike to the refuge he’d heard rumors about on his rare trips into town for supplies.

No one wanted Demitrius around, and he was okay with being on his own. In fact, he’d been alone for so long that he wasn’t even sure how to act around people anymore. Even the two Enforcers standing guard near the door of the coven leader’s office weren’t hiding the fact that they couldn’t wait to see him gone.

“I hope you’ll reconsider,” Stavion urged. “We could use more Enforcers, and I get the feeling that you need a little healing. That’s what this place is, Demitrius.” He waved a hand toward the dark window behind him. “This is a sanctuary for the lost.”

“I appreciate it, but I’m more than aware of who I am and where I’m going.”

“You’re angry,” Stavion replied bluntly. “Fate dealt you a shitty hand, and you’re pissed off. I get it, but it doesn’t have to be that way. There’s a cabin on the back edge of the property where you will have privacy. Give people a chance. They might just surprise you.”

Demitrius highly doubted that. No matter where he went or who he met, it was always the same reaction. Fear. He couldn’t change the way he looked or make others see past his terrifying appearance, and he didn’t have the patience for their bullshit anymore.

“I really need more Enforcers,” Stavion prodded, still doing his best to convince Demitrius to stay.

Strangely, it was the right way to go about it. No one had ever needed Demitrius for anything. More than that, Stavion wasn’t treating him like he had some kind of communicable disease. Hell,
