The Witch's Stripes is Book 5 in the Paranormal Council Series. It is an m/f shifter romance with a standalone couple.
One
Luke
Luke didn’t know whether he was looking forward to today or not. Work was steady anyway, and he technically didn’t need to do it, but when his best friend’s sister-in-law said she needed a photographer, he’d agreed almost instantly. Which was odd. Gut feelings like that normally accompanied big life events, the most likely being to do with meeting his one. Which wasn’t Camille. She was pretty and everything, but not for him. Not only that, but she’d recently mated with a tiger shifter, of which he was a tiny bit jealous. He’d heard that non-shifter mates tended to be able to shift within a few months, and being able to become a tiger at will was pretty damn cool.
He checked his camera bag for what felt like the hundredth time. He always did this, but then, his camera was his livelihood, he couldn’t afford for anything to happen to it, especially with one of his cousin’s weddings coming up. He scowled at the thought. He didn’t like the man she was marrying, nor did the rest of the family from what he could tell. He didn’t even know why Bex was marrying anyone. Paranormals didn’t need to marry, once they’d met the one that was it.
Secretly, he was just a bit jealous. He’d watched one by one as his friends found their ones, and when his best friend, Ethan, had found Eliza again, it’d been too much. Especially seeing their magic meld together and their familiars appear in front of him. That was odd in itself, familiars didn’t normally appear in front of anyone but the witch’s life partner. Then again, he supposed that Eliza almost being drained by a vampire was a pretty good reason to break the norm. He was still worried about that. Not about Eliza, she was fine after the whole thing, unreasonably so if you asked Luke, but because of the kickback there might be from the vampires. Even if one of them had ultimately been the one to do any staking. He shuddered, remembering the fear in Eliza’s attacker’s eyes as he faced a slight pink-haired woman. To be fair to the attacked, facing the other vampire had been the last thing he’d ever done, so maybe fear was the right expression.
Earth to Luke,
Camille half-sung, waving her hand in front of his face. He hadn’t realised he’d zoned out as much as he had, or even that he’d arrived at the shoot already.
Hi, Cam.
Don’t call me Cam,
she muttered darkly. It’s Camille, or Millie, you know that.
He nodded once. He did know, he’d just forgotten for some reason.
Sorry, Camille.
No worries. Are you ready?
she asked, her tone lightening again to one more like he was used to from her.
For what exactly?
He was genuinely curious. When he’d first been asked, all he’d been told was that it was for a charity photoshoot,
