Chapter 18

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 that it was going to be okay. My wolf was growling at me to defend her. To push Angelique away.

"That's your mate!" Angelique scoffed looking down her nose at Cameron like she was a bug under her shoe.

Cammy's eyes sharpened a bit at that and she pulled herself together. "Yes. I'm Kai's mate." She stated simply, crossing her arms, like it was common knowledge.

"Oh joy!" Angelique rolled her eyes and turned her lithe body into me, laying her hands on my chest. "Well, everyone knows it's way more fun to be the girlfriend anyway." She smirked up at me and grabbed the back of my neck, pulling me down for a kiss. Which I allowed. But I couldn't keep my eyes off Cammy.

She dropped her hands to her sides and hurt was etched all over her beautiful face. But I still couldn't feel her, she kept me out of the bond. She stood watching for a full minute, before squaring her shoulders, turning on her heel and walking off to her room.

I pushed Angelique away and leered down at her angrily. Her smile dropped immediately. She looked confused. I guess I had just called her my girlfriend.

"I think you and your mate have a few things to discuss. I'm out of here!" Lindy burst out laughing bombastically and turned back the way she came. Bitch.

"I guess that's our cue to leave." Said Riley, clapping me on the back as the guys made their way out. Giggling like fucking school girls!

"Do you want me to stay?" Angelique asked seductively, walking her fingers up my torso.

"No!" I growled, grabbing her fingers roughly and throwing them off me. Sometimes she was just too stupid to pick up on social cues. Or maybe she was just that arrogant.

"Come on, Ange!" Lindy had returned for her friend, thank fuck-!, grabbed her wrist, yanking her away.

Angelique turned to look at me with wide eyes. I slammed the door in her face. Did she seriously believe that I fucking wanted her here?

I made my way to Cammy's room. She had her suitcase on her bed and was pulling her recently hung up clothes out the closet shoving them inside and completely ignoring my presence.

Her tantrum was cute.

I walked up behind her bent-over figure and closed her suitcase. Then leaned on her bed with my fists. Caging her in.

"Stop. We both know you're not going anywhere." I spoke into her hair. She smelled so fucking good.

"Get away from me." She spat.

"No." She would get over it soon enough. She just needed to get used to the way things worked around here. To me. My pack.

Besides, she had done nothing to stop Angelique.

She pulled the lid back open and threw more clothes that were lying on the bed inside.

I sighed. "Look, I know this is a big adjustment for you. Your grandparents, they're different from everyone else. I realize that. But that's not reality Cammy. They have given you a very sheltered life. I don't think you have a realistic view of mating. Don't romanticize this too much. I promise it will be okay. You're going to have everything you need here with me, I promise." I soothed. I wanted her to feel okay again. To be comfortable in my home.

"So what? You want a mate and a girlfriend?" She asked mockingly, tilting her head to glare at me. Fuck! She was mad. Red flames dancing behind liquid gold.

"Dont worry baby, your still my main girl. And you're so sexy. Way hotter. The guys all think so too." I spoke huskily, smirking at her. Women loved that shit.

But Cammy, of course, wasn't just any 'woman.'

She looked at me in disgust. She shook her head, then turned around and fucking carried on packing her fucking bag!

"I gave you the choice to not mate with me Cammy. You chose to stay. You are mine now baby. Stop this shit. You know you don't want to leave your mate." I ran my hands up the inside of her arms all the way up, down over her firm breasts, squeezing lightly. I was done fighting. I was ready to play.

Cammy was not.

She jabbed her ass back into me with force, trying to get me to back off. "Ahrrgh! Leave me alone!" She growled pushing my hands away. Fucking sexy! I slapped her ass and gave it a squeeze.

Cammy crouched slightly and jumped backwards, knocking me off of her and making me fall on my ass, hard!

Fucking hell, she was strong!

She whipped around and stalked at me. Her eyes blood red and her fury rolling off her in waves.

"I. Am. Leaving. You. Kai." She spoke lowly. Menacingly. I chill run up my spine at her display of rank. I loved seeing her like this. "I would never stay with a man like you. A weak man who disrespects his own mate."

Huh?

"You speak to me as though I'm a simple minded child. Why? Because I don't agree with polygamy and unfaithfulness? You brought me here under false pretenses! You told me you wanted me! Wanted this bond!! Now you're telling me that you want a girlfriend too??? I am soo humiliated!! I'm going home and I'm going to forget this ever happened." She never took her blazing eyes off me. Her sinister demeanor akin to staring a cobra in the eye right before it strikes, -and you already know you're fucked.
