Reggie's: Changing a Wolf's Heart by Jana Leigh Page A

said that they would come in as soon as Roarke was clear of the building. So, you will have about 15 minutes to wait. I think maybe you should go into the bathroom, and lock the door. Wait until you hear Levi and then come out. If anyone other than Levi comes through that door, use your weapons on them. I love you.” He said and leaned forward and kissed her gently.
    Damn, he thought, I am not a gay wimp after all. He loved the new Reggie"s attitude, but not the new clothes. He wanted his tight jeans and bright shirts back. He felt too normal.
    Ruby was still clinging to him when he heard the door to the apartment open. When he turned, he saw his mother step through the door.
    “What do you want?” He growled.
    “Oh my dear, Roarke suggested that I stay with your mate and get to know her while you go to a meeting. Now just remember the Master is the one you have to impress. He will proclaim you the new Alpha if you do what they want. That was the deal.” She said, and Reggie knew that she had lost her mind.
    “Woman, you are just bat shit crazy if you think I want to be Alpha to these assholes.
    But whatever. My mate is going to shower and then rest. It has been a very trying day, and she needs her sleep. I don"t want her disturbed.” He said pushing Ruby toward the bathroom.
    “No, Roarke"s orders were crystal clear. She stays with me until you return.” He mother said firmly.
    Crap. Just what he needed, a wild card in this shit. He wished he could believe that his mother would protect his mate, but he figured the moment he was out of sight, she would give her to the Rogues. Not the way he wanted this to go.
    “It"s fine.” Ruby said putting her hand on his arm.
    Reggie was not sure that Ruby understood what was going to happen when he left. But he did not have the time to tell her, so he did the only thing he could think of. As he leaned down to kiss her good-bye, Reggie whispered in her ear. “Kill the bitch, as soon as I leave. You will not make it out if you don"t.” Ruby sucked in a deep breath and looked at him in the eyes. He was trying to show her that he understood that she was killing his mother. But the crazy bitch left him no choice. Besides, he wished he could do it himself, since he was sure she had his father killed just because he disagreed with whatever plan she had come up with. His father had been weak; he knew that, Reggie was not going to be like that. He was not going to be the weak man in their relationship. He would not have his mates dishonored by being the weak link.
    “Baby, while I am gone, why don"t you show mother how well you can cook. Remember how you told me that your parents owned the Italian restaurant? I bet you could make up a great dinner. When I get back, we will celebrate.” Reggie said and winked. He hoped she understood that she would be close to several weapons in the kitchen. Ruby smiled hesitantly and nodded. She understood, she just did not like it.
    “Now Reggie, when you are in the car with Roarke it would be the perfect time to make sure that you lay the law down for when you are Alpha. Roarke needs to learn his place as Beta. The Master has given him far too much leeway as far as I am concerned. The Master knows he cannot be the leader of the Council; he does not have the right blood.
    But you do, so together you will lead the Council. I already assured him you would not mind, he is handsome after all.” She prattled on.
    Reggie paused before opening the door when her words made it through his thoughts.
    “What the fuck did you just say?”
    His mother giggled nervously and looked at Ruby smirking. “Well, I know you dear, and I know that you think this girl is your mate. But your father and I realized a long time ago that you were different. We know that you like the same sex. I don"t hold that against you, mind you, and when the opportunity arose with the Master, I knew that it was meant to be. He is like you, you know, gay.” His mom said
