"Cammy POV You're not going anywhere near my father." "What! Why?" "I don't trust him with you. Stay away from him, Cameron." He hissed. "That's insane. We train with him everyday! Besides, he's my father in-law. I can't exactly avoid him." "I'm serious. I want you to stay away from him apart from training and family or pack gatherings. And never alone." "I don't understand. Why are you saying this?" Kai sighed heavily and pushed a strand of hair behind my ear. "Just promise me. Please." I was so confused. "He is still my Alpha. I can't ignore a direct order. He told me to meet him in his office at 4." "Fuck it! I"ll go with you. Let me go get changed. I don't want you alone with him. Promise me you'll tell me if he ever wants to meet with you again?" I could tell that he was really upset and wondered at the reason for it. Kai was always reserved around his father. Hostile even. Especially when I was training with the warriors. But I could tell that this was somethin
Kai POV I could feel Cammy's anticipation as we silently walked down the halls. I suspected she knew what I was about to introduce her to. I had felt her curiosity since that first day I brought her to the club. I'm honestly disappointed that she didn't just outright ask me. I wanted her to stop holding back from me. If she had something to say, she could say it to me. Bruno opened up the door for us as we approached the jail cells. We only had one prisoner contained here. And I couldn't be prouder. On the one hand, no one was stupid enough to fuck with the Blue Shadows. On the other, I had brought this motherfucker in. And a strong little fuck he was. My team had followed his trail all through the night the day before I travelled down for Cammy's birthday. We'd taken him down after a 13 hour 'fucker of a chase!' and I had been the one who gave that final blow to take the beast down. As I led Cammy through the cells, I could feel her curiosity brimming beneath the surface, yet
Kai POV I led Cameron out of the jail, with my arm around her waist. Not letting go until the door shut behind us. I hadn't liked that tick so close to Cameron. Even with him being contained behind bars. I walked ahead of Cameron, no longer wanting to touch her now that the threat was behind us. Every step had my mind playing bits and pieces of that interaction over and over in my mind. Until the puzzle was complete and the picture sent fire through my veins. Cameron had been weak. Her betrayal of wavering allegiance hurt like a bitch. Before I could implode, I opened a door to the office on the left, my office here at the club, and held it open for Cameron to walk through. My blistering gaze burning into her sad golden pools as she entered the empty room. She was so fucking soft. She turned her body to face me as I locked the door behind us, but kept her eyes cast downward. Whisps of hair escaped her ponytail and framed her delicate face. She had her arms wrapped around
Cammy's POV Warrior training was brutal. We were taught how to take down a vampire as a pack, working in teams. After warm ups and sparring, Alpha Sigfried explained the technicalities of it and we ran some practice drills. Kai was his father's right hand man tonight. He was right up there with Beta Julian and Delta Thomas. My eyes seemed to follow him thoughout the night. Watching him correcting technique and advising the soldiers. His muscles rippled under his t-shirt and his movements were mesmerizing in its power. His focus was razor sharp. He certainly was alpha born. So powerful. The most beautiful creature I had ever laid eyes on. Every time his eyes flickered to mine, they burned with a knowing intensity. He new how vulnerable I was feeling right now. Did he know that his strength was loaning strength to me too? There was a little something else in those deep, dark eyes too. Disappointment. My inner beast whimpered inside. It hurt so bad to see his hatred for that v
Cammy POV Kai kissed my forehead again before leaving. But my eyes were on Riley and Vera making out all lovey-dovey. "Behave yourself!" She scolded playfully. I nearly scoffed at her hypocrisy. Her eyes caught mine as she turned away from Riley who was already leaving. "What?!" She snapped, glaring at me. "Come on Cams, let's go." Lindy jerked my arm and was already dragging me to the exit behind the boys, oblivious to the tension growing between Vera and myself. "I need you to help me pick out an outfit for my birthday." It took my a second longer to pull my eyes away from Vera. I didn't miss Angelique saddling up next to her though. My stomach knotted at the realization that Vera was someone to keep an eye out for. "I thought you already picked an outfit at the mall." I grumbled, not having the energy to care about whatever was up Vera's ass. "Hey, why the Debbie Downer? It's my 18th birthday next weekend! I want to look perfect! When my mate sees me, I want him to be
Cammy POV "Relax, Cameron!" "I'm trying to!" "Just feel the music." "These heels you're making me wear don't like the music!" "Arrgh! -you are so stiff!" Lindy turned the music down a bit and turned to glare at me with her arms crossed over her chest. "I don't get it Cameron. I'm an excellent dancer. I can make anyone look good! What's wrong with you?" "I told you that I can't dance." I whinned and fell backward in her bed dramatically, arms spread above my head." "You just need a little something to help you relax. Get you out of your head." Lindy left her room and came back a minute later with a clear bottle with the picture of the sunset and some palm trees on it and two shots glasses. "Get your lazy ass off my bed and take this." She ordered shoving a glass in my face. "Let me explain it like this," she smirked, "you know how when you have sex, you have to free your body and just feel the sensations?" I nod as images of Kai's hands on my body fill my mi
Cammy's POV Heat. So much heat. Weighing me down with a suffocating pressure. Argh! My entire body was burning up a fever. I managed to peel my eyes open and take inventory of my current dilema. The duvet was pulled up to my chin and Kai had his arm, leg and half his body locking me in. I had to escape. Now. Can't breathe. Too hot. Deep breath in. I nearly choked on the double clutch of air my body had tried to suck in. Tried being the key word. My lungs ached from the rapid expansion and the air seemed to get stuck on the dryness of my mouth on it's way down. Aah! I looked over at Kai again. He was in a deep sleep. He looked so peaceful that I almost didn't want to disturb him. Almost. I absolutely had to escape from this sauna I had myself trapped in. The heat was far to unpleasant to bare. I gently slid out of his embrace. I was swopping wet. Drenched in a layer of my own sweat. Ew. What was happening to me?My wolf whimpered, letting me know that she was b
Cammy POVWalking around the peaceful inner pack lands had my mind drifting off to the events of yesterday. My heart ached as I remembered the way Kai had looked at me. The raw betrayal in his eyes. I had always planned on eventually telling him the truth about my heritage—when he loved me enough that nothing could come between us. But now, I wasn’t so sure. The hatred he had for vampires wasn’t just something he had learned; it was something he had lived. Something that burned in his very bones. I was scared that his hatred for my lineage outweighted his growing love for me. Afraid that just maybe, Luna Melissa had been right.And for the first time, I felt it too. That intense hatred.That boy. The human. His lifeless eyes staring up at the night sky. Somehow, in his office, after we had been to see the vampire, Kai had pushed the memory into my head when he told me what that vampire had done. It's what had me in tears. And now, I couldn’t unsee it. The image was tearing me up insi
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
