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 on Cammy and I wished she had something more covering her then those fucking sexy ripped denim shorts and a tank top that looked like it was made from some thin jersey-like material. My girl was hot and I could see that she had their full attention. Even fucking Alec and Riley -and they were mated!

Ha -she was mine, assholes-!

"Hi Kai. Hey beautiful." Slade greeted.

I growled lowly and pulled Cammy back against my chest. They froze abruptly.

"Shit Kai. Is this what we think it is?"

"This is my mate, Cammy. Cam-baby, these are my boys Slade, Riley and Alec."

"Hi." Cammy smiled sweetly.

"Wait...aren't you Alpha Gerald's daughter?" Riley asked with his brows raised in surprise.

"I'm his granddaughter."

"Yeah, that's right, you're the sexy little Carter!" Slade gave her a crooked smile which made me tighten my grip on her. They all noticed and fucking grinned immaturely.

Inside we opened some beers and chatted about Nathan becoming a fucking Alpha before me. Asshole. Not that I wasn't happy for him. It was just assumed that he would've been my Beta. Now the role would fall to one of these guys. All the toughest in the pack, with various strengths that would benefit the pack.

Cammy made herself a cup of tea. Like a eighty year old in an eighteen year old's body. When she was done she excused herself to go unpack her bags.

When she was gone, they fucking laid into me.

"She's fucking hot, man!"

"Nice tits!"

"Watch it-! That's my mate your talking about!" I barked.

The air was thick with tension. They were dying to say something, but rank prevented Alec and Riley from opening their motherfucking mouths.

Slade on the other hand was a little too daft to know his place- "Dude! Who would have thought you would go soft for a little cheerleader!" He laughed loudly.

"She's his mate, stupid!"

"I. Am. Not. Soft. For. A. Girl. And don't call her that!" I growled menacingly. He had just pushed the wrong button.

"Come on, man! You treat her like a golden egg that you're afraid to drop! ...she's really sweet though." Sweet. I knew what he was doing. He had taken a direct jab at her strength. Fuck! This was bad. My own friends thought Cammy was weak! How would the rest of the pack take to her?!

I had him up against them wall before he could even blink.

"Chill man!" Riley was trying to defuse the situation. But Slade held my gaze, challenging me.

Did he think that because Nathan had made Alpha of Cammy's old pack and Cammy, in all her benevolence was here with me, that I was weak? I tightened my grip around his throat and he started turning an odd shade of purple.

"Let me be very clear about something-" my lips curling in a snarl. "You will not disrespect me or my mate again. If you think that you're a 'buddy' and that gives you the right to talk shit, you are mistaken. Your teeth will be eating the pavement if your dumbass tries that shit again! Understand?"

Slade gave a slight nod in acknowledgement.

Just then the doorbell chimed. I let Slade go and he dropped to the ground, gasping for breath and holding his throat. It would bruise.

None other than Angelique Fucking Andrews stood at my door with her friend Lindy. Angelique was Nathan's little sister and my fuck-buddy. She was tall and athletically built, tan skin and dark hair. She was gorgeous. Like swimsuit model gorgeous.

Shit. I really did not need this right now!

"Hi Kai." Angelique came forward and wrapped her arms around me. I just stood still. Angelique felt so wrong on my body now, but I didn't push her away. I was a fucking Alpha. I was not weak and I would not allow Cammy to have so much power over me. Strong male weres, especially Alpha's had a strong sexual appetite and usually satiated it with many women.

Angelique lifted her head and pressed her lips to mine, nipping once, twice and then sucking on the bottom lip briefly. "Did you miss me?"

I heard a loud gasp behind me. I knew it was Cammy before I turned around. I could feel the sharp confusion and pain bolting through her.

"Cameron, there's someone I'd like you to meet. This is Angelique, my...girlfriend."

    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

    Prologue Nineteen Years Ago... Helena wrapped the thick wool blanket tighter around her shoulders, pressing herself closer to the man beside her. His skin, impossibly cool even through layers of clothing, sent shivers down her spine. The ground beneath them had long since lost its warmth with the setting of the sun, and now, the night sky stretched overhead, glittering with countless stars. Her fingers traced the sculpted ridges of his toned abdomen, moving over the crisp button-down shirt he still wore. Slowly, deliberately, she walked her fingers downward until they reached the hem. She hesitated for only a moment when she heard his breath hitch. The slightest tightening of his arms around her was enough to make her heartbeat quicken. He was magnificent. Unnaturally strong, more powerful than any male she had ever known. She bit her lip, willing herself to be bold, and she slid her hand beneath the fabric of his shirt. "Helena," he breathed, his voice husky and filled with r

    Chapter OneCammy POV Present Day Cammy’s eyes fluttered open as the first light of dawn crept through the darkness, chasing away the last remnants of night. It was still too early to rise, but excitement buzzed through her veins, making sleep impossible. She curled onto her side, burying her face into her pillow, her copper hair cascading over her cheeks like a silken veil. She willed herself to stay still, to savor the last few moments of quiet before the day truly began, but it was no use. A slow, eager grin spread across her face. Her strange reddish-gold eyes gleamed with delight. She was eighteen today. Taking a deep breath, she sat up. A run would help burn off some of her nervous energy—maybe, just maybe, tonight she would find the one. As much as she had friends, she’d always kept them at a distance, unknowingly shielding her heart. But with her mate, it would be different. No more barriers. No more secrets. She longed for that deep, unbreakable bond, the kind she had

    Kai POV Cammy was too quiet on the drive home. She had returned from her friend three hours after leaving, and I was livid. How could she think it was acceptable to leave her mate to spend time with another male—the day after bonding?! Old balls. Old balls. Old balls. I kept reminding myself. But fuck, that excuse was wearing thin. I had asked Gerald multiple times where this friend was so I could fetch Cammy myself. The old fucker had done everything in his power to distract me, dodging my questions like a damn politician. And I knew she had lied about why this guy hadn’t been at the party last night. The fact that she left her phone behind, shifting into her wolf for this visit, only fueled my rage. Was there even clothing available? Had she arrived to him naked? My hands clenched around the steering wheel. Maybe this wasn’t some old family friend—maybe this was someone she had wanted to mate. Someone she was close to. No, I could tell that she wasn't lying about that. I

    Cammy POV Sprinting around the corner of my dad’s sprawling, European-style home, I shifted from my wolf into my human form. Barefoot, breathless, and moving at vampire speed, I flung open the door, rushed inside, and beelined for the closet. My hands grabbed the first thing they touched—a pale blue sundress. I pulled it on quickly, then bolted back outside toward the lake, the sound of a massive splash alerting me to his whereabouts. I slowed as I reached the water’s edge, dipping my feet in and letting the coolness soothe my overheated skin. A moment later, Dad and Clyde broke the surface, sending water spraying in all directions, drenching me in the process. I gasped as the cold hit me but didn’t mind—it was scorching hot, and after my run, the chill was welcome. Clyde, my dad’s 3,000-pound hippopotamus, floated beside him, snorting happily. He and his mate, Bonnie, had been imported from sub-Saharan Africa nearly a year ago. Unlike his more reserved counterpart, Clyde loved at
