her. I should make sure to crush that."
"Did you learn anything?" Dean asked, stepping out from his room.
"Yeah. Go grab An ita and meet me in Finn's room. We need to have an emergency coven meeting."

I knocked on Anita's door and entered without waiting for a response. If she thought I’d been kidding earlier, she was in for a rude awakening. I told her that I wasn't going to let her run from me again, and I’d meant it. I walked toward her bed and saw Anita lying in her underwear on top of her covers. She appeared to be covered in a thin sheen of sweat.
I' d always been drawn to Anita since the first moment I saw her. But this moment, I was pulled towards her. Jerked, yanked, tugged violently toward her. My nostrils flared and I detected the scent of vanilla and honeysuckle hanging in the air. I felt a growl rip from my chest. Once I reached her side, my instincts calmed a bit, except that I wanted to prevent anyone from coming near her.
I gently stroked her cheek. Her big brown eyes blinked open. "Dean?"
"C'mon , Angel. We have an emergency coven meeting." I grabbed her discarded T-shirt and shorts, but she shoved them away. "Anita, you have to put something else on or I might end up killing one of my friends," I urged.
"I can't. I'm so hot," she complained.
I touched her head again, and she was burning up. "How are you feeling besides hot?" I asked, concerned.
"My skin hurts, like tiny electrical shocks are traveling up it. I don't feel sick though. Just really uncomfortable," she answered.
"Do you have anything else you can wear to go into Finn's room?"
"Yeah . Give me a minute," she said, getting off the bed.
Moments later , she emerged from her walk-in closet in a tiny sundress. This was almost as bad as her wearing her underwear.
She snapped her fingers in my face. "Dean , quit scowling at my dress."
"I think you should wear something else," I grumbled.
She rolled her eyes at me and walked out of the room.
I hurried to get ahead of her. It didn't make sense, but I wanted to block her from Finn and Grey. Finn's head snapped up the second she walked into the room. His eyes began to glow a brighter blue, and he pulled Chloë closer to his chest.
"Where is Grey?" Anita asked, unaware of the tense atmosphere around Finn and me.
"He went to get Cooper," Chloë said, wiggling out of Finn's grasp a little bit.
My cousin , Cooper James, turned the corner just then, followed by Grey. Cooper's nostrils flared, and he started to move slowly toward Anita. I growled and shoved her behind me.
"Oh, you have got to be kidding me !" Grey exclaimed. His eyes bounced between Anita and Chloë. Grey grabbed Cooper's arm and shoved him out in the hall. Moving lightning fast, he ran through the room and tossed open the window. He returned to stand in the doorway, shooting his hand out to bar the door and keep Cooper in the hallway.
Cooper allowed Grey to keep him in the hallway. The longer Anita and I were in Finn's room, the more Finn seemed to be drugged. He didn't seem to notice we were still in the room. He nuzzled into Chloë’s neck, slowly dragging his nose along the edge of her chin.
I raised my eyebrows. "Would someone explain to us what is going on?" I demanded.
Grey pulled at his hair . "It appears the girls are responding to your magical biology. It seems Anita is in heat and Chloë is emitting bonding pheromones."
"You're kidding me ! How is that even possible? I'm not a shifter," Anita exclaimed.
"It doesn't matter. When a pair is a good match , their biology begins to synchronize to each other. I've never heard of it occurring between two different races before. There is only one perfect mate for each of us, and it is obvious to me that the four of you are perfectly matched," Cooper explained.
Grey's expression darkened for a moment before he schooled his features to neutral again. I
