Kai POV I led her into the 3 meter high solid wood front door with my wolf carved into it. I gave her the grand tour of the 1400 square meter, 4 bedroom home and could feel that she liked it -a fucking lot! Thank you very much! I showed her to her room before I told her that mine was just down the hall. She scrunched up her brow and got all confused when I announced her bedroom. It was my favorite in the house apart from my own. It was huge with a ensuite bathroom, private lounge and patio that opens up to the forest edge. I would be spending plenty time there in the near future. I didn't see what the problem was. Her bags were still in the car, so we made our way out to get them. "Hey, Kai!" My buddies Slade, Riley and Alec were walking a short distance away. We lived in a tight-knit community with our homes close together as was common in all werewolf communities. They changed direction and made their way over to us when they saw me. I noticed how they all had their eyes o
KPOV I heard a loud gasp behind me. I knew it was Cammy before I turned around. I could feel the sharp confusion bolting through her. "Cameron, there's someone I'd like you to meet. This is Angelique, my...girlfriend." "Angelique, this is Cameron -my mate." Cammy had practically stopped breathing. Then I felt her walls go up, instantly blocking me from feeling her. She sucked in a harsh breath while she and Angelique stared at each other. Cammy in shock. Angelique in full stare down, bitch mode. "Your-, ...um....are you two...together?" Cammy asked. "Yes" I answered, hating the hurt in her eyes. "So...are you in-in love? She stuttered. I heard snickers all around the room. Shit. Fuck no! "No" "Yes" was Angelique's marvelous answer, at the exact same time I had answered. She raised one eyebrow and glared at Cammy. I looked at Cammy to see how she would handle it. "But...um..." Cammy was at a complete loss. Looking back and forth between us. I wanted to tell her
Kai POV "I never said anything about fucking one girl for the rest of my life, Cameron!" I said darkly, raising my own rank. Deciding to stop coddling her. It was getting us nowhere. Strong males have urges that are usually satisfied by many women. This was nothing new. Surely she understood that. "I'm fucking alpha blood! I have dark desires. Desires that I don't expect you to satisfy! For that, you will learn to be grateful. At least I am honest with you. I don't know why this is such a shock to you. Have you grown up in a fucking cave?! I don't need to ask your permission, Cameron." Mates don't physically hurt each other. But they do submit to rank, and I was laying it all on Cameron now. She should have cowered before me. I suddenly realized now how strong she is. I can feel her. But I outrank her. Fuck, I outrank even my father's Beta by my blood alone! But Cameron's gaze never wavered. Her eyes only grew darker. She had no fear and she wasn't submitting to my aura. "Thank
Kai POV "Father-?!" She just raised her eyebrows at me and crossed her arms. "Fine." I exhaled loudly. My last line of defence crumbling. I wasn't going to loose her. "Fine, what?" She snapped. "I'll give you what you want." I hissed. "But I have my own conditions." Of course! I wasn't just going to hand her my balls on a fucking platter. Even though this whole stupid fight was for her benefit. I was just trying to help her fit in and toughen up. I had never wanted to hurt her. I never even fucking wanted Angelique now that I had Cammy. It was all expectations and power. But we'd work around this one thing if it meant so much to her. "Conditions-?" "Yeah. You've gotta satisfy all my desires." My voice sounded dark, even to myself. "Um-" she looked nervous now. I sat straight up and I raised my eyebrows at her. Hadn't she said it was her job anyway? This was fucking her idea! Why did she need to think about it? "Okay, but-" "No! No 'buts!' You've told me what you n
Cammy's POV I cut the last potato into wedges and added it to the water-filled pot and placed it on the stove and turned up the heat. I went to the fridge and pulled out the package of fresh spinach and turned on the tap to rinse the vegetable before pulling the leaves off the stem and dumping half into another pot. I was cooking for us tonight. Fried potatoes, creamed spinach and steak. One of my favorite meals. I was feeling a little apprehensive. I liked my steak blue. Something my Grandmother had always hated and always tried to convince me to eat a little more well done. I think the bloodied mess reminded her that I was not a pure blooded wolf. I usually only eat steak like this in the privacy of my own home, and even then, not very often. I hated feeling ashamed about my differences and maybe a little paranoid that if I gave outsiders too many opportunities to see into my private life that they would be able to piece the puzzle together. Somehow figure out that I was a hal
Cammy's POV He sat up and swung his legs out of bed. "Okay. Let's go." "Oh, you don't have to come-" the words died on my lips at the look he shot me. He had told me yesterday to not go wondering in his territory before I had been introduced to the pack. It wasn't safe. I knew he was right. Even back in Seattle, a rogue wolf roaming in our territory was likely to lead to a hostile confrontation. Respect was of utmost importance to wolves. After Kai returned from the restroom. He walked up to me and rested his hands on my hips firmly and placed a gentle kiss on my lips. "Let's go." He nodded to the open patio doors. I turned to leave and he tapped my backside lightly as I led the way, making me giggle at his playfulness. I liked the way he took control of the physical aspect of our relationship. I had never been good with displaying affection, but I felt so comfortable with him. Natural. We shifted outside and holy moly he was huge! The largest pitch black wolf I had ever
Cammy POV I enjoyed the walk to the club. The Blue Shadows had a beautiful territory. The late afternoon sun cast orange hues as it peeked through the trees, illuminating our path through the fallen leaves. Kai held my hand in companionable silence, as he lead me through the unfamiliar forest. I knew that he was nervous about introducing me tonight. Meeting Alpha Sigfried this morning seemed to give him an unwanted push. The push out of our pleasant little bubble that we had created, shutting the outside world out. I had no insecurities about how Kai felt when he was with me. He enjoyed me as a mate. But the uncertainty he'd felt at making official introductions stung. He was protective over me. I could feel that. But I wondered what the cause of his apprehension was. Numerous reasons filled my mind, but the two that rang most likely was scratching unpleasantly, hindering my peace of mind. Firstly, Angelique would most likely be there. I wondered how he would handle that. I was fa
Cammy POV I couldn't believe Angelique! How dare she! Challenging a mate-bond was an ancient custom for those who fell in love with someone who wasn't the mate gifted from the moon goddess. They were given the opportunity to challenge the actual mate before a blood-bond was formed, and usually only when at least one person in the bonded couple wanted to be with someone else instead if their fated. I had never seen it done before. Never seen anyone be that disrespectful of a mate-bond. But none of the faces staring back at me seemed shocked at all. Was it common practice here? Or had Angelique already made her intentions known around the pack. I could feel the anger rolling off Kai in waves. The alpha however, had an excited gleam in his eye as he approached us, standing between Angelique and I. "In which form would you like to challenge in?" "Human." Angelique smirked condescendingly down at me. If she had any respect for my strength, she would have chosen wolf form. Sigfrie
Kai's POV Cammy's eyes widened when I marched through the front door with my men. A flicker of shock and hope flickered over her delicate features. My beast took possessive inventory of our mate, assessing that our mate was indeed safe. Of course she was. Her guilt had her caged better than bars ever could. She hasn't stepped outside all week. She'd been submissive, although I could find no pleasure in it. Just the ache from the knife she'd twisted painfully into my chest. The dark circles under her eyes and messy hair was evidence of her suffering. As she should be. If I was broken, then she should be too. I snapped my gaze from hers before she could speak and led my men through the house towards my home office. "Hey Cammy!" that idiot, Slade lifted Cammy off the couch and swept her into a hug. He was being too familiar and casual with my mate for my liking. I noticed all my men eying their future queen in relief after the encounter we just had. My wolf growled far more aggre
Cammy POVThe next few days were slow and torturous. Kai wouldn't forgive me. He remained cold and distant, his every action a silent reminder of my mistake. I apologized every time we were alone, trying desperately to win my mate back, but it was no use. He barely acknowledged me beyond what was necessary.Instead, he buried himself in work—overseeing patrols, holding endless meetings with his father and the generals, reinforcing security measures. The Blue Shadows pack had always been strong, but I hadn’t realized how deeply militant they were until now. Every movement was calculated, controlled. Members followed strict, organized routines that allowed no room for spontaneity. No one ventured out alone anymore. The once lively energy of the pack was now tight and cautious—like a coiled spring ready to snap. When I watched the movement from the windows, I could see nothing but observant eyes and tense shoulders.Training was still in full swing, but in smaller groups, and the schedul
Kai's POV The weight of her confession pressed down on me like a crushing force, suffocating and unrelenting. “I freed Edgar.” What the fuck?! The words echoed in my head, each syllable slicing through me, carving into something I wasn’t sure could heal. I was willing to risk everything for Cammy, to keep her secrets. But clearly, she was willing to risk everything to go against me. Without even considering what this would do to me or our people. And fuck, she had no idea what a sick bastard Edgar was. Cammy had made a mistake—a catastrophic, world-altering mistake. And she had just admitted it, eyes wide and brimming with guilt. But it wasn’t enough. The damage was done. Through our bond, I felt myself recoiling, closing off to her. A muscle ticked in my jaw as I forced myself to stay rooted, to keep from losing myself to the rage thrumming beneath my skin. My beast clawed at the surface, demanding action, demanding retribution. But from who? As furious as I was, as much as I w
Kai’s POV The forest was silent, but my mind was anything but. The truth sat heavy in my chest, a weight I couldn’t shake. Cammy—my sweet, gentle mate—was a fucking vampire hybrid. I could still hear her voice, soft and fragile, when she told me. I could see the way she curled into herself, waiting for my reaction, waiting for me to reject her. She had expected me to walk away. And for one, fleeting moment, I had. I had stepped out of the house, the walls closing in on me, my breath ragged as I shifted into my beast. I needed to run, to tear through the woods and let my instincts override the chaos in my head. My entire belief system had been shattered. I had spent my life hunting vampires, hating them, knowing them as nothing more than monsters that fed on the weak, taking pleasure in the suffering they inflicted. And now? Now, my mate—my entire fucking world—was part of them. "My mate." My wolf growled possessively, not happy with my thoughts. I ran until my lungs burn
Cammy POV The sun hung low on the horizon as I approached home, its fading glow casting long shadows across the path. Every step felt heavier than the last, my mind a storm of conflicting emotions. I'd spent the entire walk trying—and failing—to steady my nerves, but the weight of my actions pressed down on me in an unforgiving grip. Treason. That was what I’d just committed. A crime punishable by death. But somehow, what cut deepest wasn’t what I'd done against my pack or my alpha—the alpha king! It was what I'd done against Kai. What did this mean for us? For our bond? The thought of standing against him again made my stomach twist painfully. Would I do it again? Could I keep choosing this path if it meant going against the man I loved? And yet, how could I stand by and do nothing while my pack continued to hunt vampires as if their lives held no worth? This wasn’t just about Edgar anymore. This was bigger. I was caught between two sides. And I had no idea where I truly belong
Cammy POV I could still feel the ghost of Kai’s touch on my skin, the heat of his hands lingering even as I sat in the backseat next to Lindy. My head swirled with thoughts, a mix of irritation with my present predicament and quiet shock at my own actions earlier with Kai. When we had realized that Lindy had brought her friends with her, Kai's ex fuck-buddy at that, I had been pissed. Kai had pulled me off my knees and fucked me from behind on the table, leaving them to awkwardly wait by the car while I screamed out my orgasm, just like Kai's rough voice in my ear was telling me to. Than telling me what a good girl I was. Fully able to hear what was happening inside, Lindy tried to distract them with conversation, while Vera giggled and Angelique stayed quiet. Kai had smirked and told me not to wash his scent off me, to let them know that he'd just fucked me. I was horrified that he'd suggest that, horrified that I'd just allowed Kai to screw me like this, with them listening
Kai POV Lindy brought Vera and Angelique with her to fetch Cammy. I could feel that Cammy was pissed off, but I honestly, I was grateful to the little midget. Our group had been friends for years and I didn't want to shake that more than it already was. Nate, Riley and I had been friends growing up. Vera and Angelique had always been around, being the daughters of my father's delta and beta. Naturally, Vera and Angelique found their place in our little group when Angelique and I started causally fucking. Alec and his friend Slade joined our group when Vera mated to Alec when she turned 18. The girls were strong females, and always looking for a way to the top. They were both after me, but I wasn't really into Vera when Alec was suddenly always around. When there was so much tension between Alec and his slut mate already. So mainly, she fucked around with Nate and Riley when Alec wasn't around. And I fucked with Angelique when our group was together. But, when it was just the g
Kai POV We carry our breakfast to the table and I begin shovelling food into my mouth before Cammy even sits down, avoiding the shitfaced grin on her face. The food nearly falls out my open, gaping mouth when she leans down and kisses me on the cheek and murmers, "I love you too Kai." Fuck it's suddenly hot in here! "So what time is Lindy getting here?" I divert and fucking berate myself for the not so smooth way I cross one ankle over my knee and cut through my bacon with slightly too much fervor, making it shoot halfway off my fucking plate. "In about 40 minutes." She says glancing up at the platinum plated wall clock. "You'll remember to buy the lamb for the roast tomorrow, right?" "Yeah. Relax Cameron. My fucking parents will be grateful if I serve them a fucking sandwich for lunch." "I highly doubt that will go over well." "They better be fucking happy with whatever free food they get in my house. I don't get why you had to invite them here." I can't help grumbl
Kai's POV Naked. She's fucking naked. And pressed up against me. Arms wrapped around my torso. One leg resting on top of mine, exposing the soft, smooth, fleshy jewel nestled between her toned thighs. The heat of her pussy burning into my skin. The steady flurry of her breaths teasing the skin of my chest. Because she's sleeping. Out cold. And won't fucking wake up. Despite my gentle squeezing and probing. Since I'm not an active participant of somnophilia, no matter how inticing my sleeping beauty is, spread out on top of me. I decide that it's time to get up and leave her to her much needed rest. Maybe surprise Cammy with a greasy breakfast. The perfect hangover cure. Fuck, she was adorable last night. I grin as the memories play across my mind. She must have removed her clothes in her drunken state at some point throughout the night. My girl was a light weight. Couldn't handle her drink. So fucking cute. As soon as I opened the bedroom door, I was assaulte
