attraction to her and if he was being honest, he was fighting the mating pull to her.  He knew she was scared of him and he didn’t feel he could give her anything except heartache.  Now my wolf doesn’t want any other woman.  She is a witch, too. What the hell will I do now?  Mace realized his wolf wouldn’t stop until he got her .
    Damen was waiting outside for Mace when he walked up to his truck.
    “Now is the time to talk, Mace, and I won’t take no for an answer,” said Damen. 
    Mace could tell that Damen wouldn ’t stop until Mace spoke to him and explained what was wrong with him.  He recognized the man walking with Damen.  It was Reece Phillips.  Damen did great backgrounds on everyone and pictures were a necessity. 
    “ Where are you going?” Damen asked Mace.
    “ Well I’m starving and it is slow in the Pub tonight, I want something to eat and now I’m leaving to go get something,” Mace said as he gazed over at Reece, taking in his scent.  ‘ Mate ,’ said Mace’s wolf.  ‘ What the hell is going on now?  I am not gay, dammit! He is not our mate, too,’ Mace argued with his wolf.
    “ You should have been with us tonight over at Reece’s house.  Nancy cooked her famous spaghetti and it was out of this world.”  Mace frowned.
    “ Nancy cooked her spaghetti?”  Everyone in the pack knew that Nancy’s spaghetti was Mace’s favorite food.
    “ Well if it is slow, I guess we could go back to my house and warm up the leftovers and then eat that apple pie Nancy cooked,” Reece explained.
    “ She made her apple pie, too?”  Mace slumped his shoulders because Nancy’s apple pie was the greatest and was one of his favorite desserts. Mace was starving.
    “ Shit, sorry, Alpha.  This is Reece Phillips.”  Reece stuck his hand out to shake Mace’s hand.  As their hands touched, a soft current flowed up Reece’s and Mace’s arms.  Reece immediately knew that Mace was his mate, too.  He didn’t feel sexual attraction toward Mace, but he knew that Mace would be much more than his Alpha. 
    Mace shook his head as he let go of Reece ’s hand, staring at his own.  It happened again, as the door opened in his mind and Mace watched as Reece carried Lexy in his arms.  He was telling her to wake up, that she was okay now.  Mace could feel the fear pouring out of Reece as he held Lexy.  Then the door closed.  Mace shook his head trying to figure out what in the hell was going on.  The first time he had a vision was when he touched Lexy, now Reece. Mace needed to know more about Reece.  He immediately felt something for this stranger and new pack mate, but it was more then just being pack.  Mace didn’t want to think about it now.  Not now, not now , Mace repeated again.  He could tell Reece and Damen were staring at him.  “Sorry, Reece, for not being there today.  I had some business to attend to and watch over today. Was it you I saw in the woods today?” 
    Now it made sense to Reece.  When Mace said watch over, he meant Lexy.  I wondered why he was watching the girl.  She is beautiful, but I wonder if he wants her for himself.  “No problem, Alpha.  Yes, my wolf was crazy to come out after two weeks. And for my new home, I had a lot of help today.  The pack has been great to my family.  I can’t thank you guys enough.  Joining the pack was the right decision for us. We are very grateful for the support and help everyone has bestowed on my sister and me,” replied Reece. 
    “ Thanks.  I’m glad you’re happy with everyone.  This is not just a pack, Reece.  We are a family.  Now let’s go eat some of those leftovers,” Mace said as he patted Reece on the shoulder.  Mace was kinda scared to touch Reece again for fear of having another vision, but nothing happened.  Mace knew he needed to speak to Selena and ask her could these be real visions. 
    “ Reece, if you don’t mind can you drive my truck back?  I need to speak to the Alpha alone on
