Cameron's P.O.V I didn't get it. I didn't understand what could've happened to make Freya think that I wasn't capable enough to handle my own pack. What Trisha had told her hadn't been wrong, but her words had been coloured with her own insecurities about losing Derek and her loss of faith in me. She hadn't had the strength to ask me directly, so she had gone to Freya instead, to try to poison her mind against me. And it had worked. I found that I was disappointed in her just as I was disappointed in myself. Did she truly think I wasn't capable of handing my pack? The question had haunted me again and again. It had been on my mind ever since I stormed out of the dining room, trying to find an outlet for my anger. It hadn't helped when I had gone out into the woods for a run in my wolf form; it hadn't helped when I had taken an ice-cold shower and it bloody hell wasn't helping now that I was trying to get some rest. I thought we had been making progress…that we w
Freya's P.O.V It felt like fire had ignited my entire body, burning me up from the inside out. The instant Cameron's lips touched mine, my mind exploded into a kaleidoscope of colours and fireworks that I had never thought possible in my entire life. My breath caught in my throat as I froze up for a second, my mind going completely numb…before my brain started working on overdrive. It felt like I'd come alive after being starved for ages…and Cameron was my oasis in the desert. My hands reached for him of their own accord, clutching at his shirt as his hands came up to cup my cheeks, holding me in place as he guided me with his lips. I hadn't imagined them to be so soft…his lips. They moved over mine as the gentlest of caresses, taking down my inhibitions one by one. It was only when he bit down gently on my lower lip, before licking at the little hurt…that my mind finally made sense of what was happening. Regaining my sense, I pushed him off of me wi
Freya's P.O.V "Cameron told me what happened yesterday." Sarah sat on the bed opposite to me, reapplying the bandage on my arm. It was almost healed, that too in a matter of a couple of days, but she insisted that I keep it on for another day or two, so it can heal properly without any permanent bone damage. "Are you going to tell me that it's just a kiss?" I asked, looking at her beautiful face to see her reaction. "Are you going to tell me to give him another chance as well?" Cameron's kiss had taken me by surprise; caught me completely off-guard. But if I was being very honest, it had left me breathless and wanting more at the same time…until the realization of what he had stolen had set in. It hadn't been just a kiss; it had been a dream for me, to kiss the boy I love by the seaside. However, I had soon realized that there had been another completely different reason for my disappointment in Cameron. And it hadn't just been beca
Cameron's P.O.V "How is she?" I asked as soon as I saw Sarah walk up to my car early next morning. I had to practice for an upcoming match with the Portland High Soccer team that was going to be led by Darcia. It was a match I was looking forward to and since I had finished practice really late, I hadn't been able to visit Freya at all yesterday. I had wanted to apologize, I really had and I knew procrastinating won't get me anywhere. My wolf was anxious too, but I wanted this to be special. I had stolen her first kiss without her permission…so when I went to apologize, I wanted it to be exactly how she had hoped her first kiss to be. "A lot better," she gave me a bright smile. "I did warn her that you might not be able to visit as often as you did before." I nodded my thanks and held the door open for her so she could get in. Closing the passenger's side door, I came around to the driver's side and got inside my car, starting
Cameron's P.O.V I shook my head at the ridiculous behaviour, laughing at Sarah as she stormed up the stairs. Alex, having witnessed the whole incident, gave me a 'what-did-you-do-this-time' look. Shaking my head at her antics, I told Alex why Sarah had been so upset. But instead of laughing at the joke, he seemed to be deep in thought. "Come on, man!" I shook my head, slapping my hand on his shoulder. "It was a joke. Of course Sarah isn't gay!" "I know." Alex nodded. "But that's not what I was thinking about." "Then what were you thinking about?" I raised my eyebrows at him. I had been just joking! Seriously! Freya was already my mate and even if Sarah was gay…which I knew she wasn't, I think…there was no way in hell I was letting her near Freya again if she thought she was going to steal my girl. "It's about what you said." This time, when Alex's green eyes met mine, they were dead se
Cameron's P.O.V I was about to head to my first class, Geography, when I though I heard Sarah's voice from down the hall. The hallways were all empty after the first bell, and with the second bell only a minute away, the only people who would be loitering around would be the ones who wanted to cut class. But Sarah wasn't one of them. I don't think she had ever cut class in her life. Which was why I found the situation strange. Did I hear her right? "Why? Why would you do such a thing?" Yup. It was definitely Sarah. Changing routs before the teacher spotted me, I headed down the empty hallway that led to an empty classroom at the end of the hall, and found Sarah inside the class, along with Cindy, Laura and Trisha. My frown deepened when I realized what this might be about. I was however; a little disappointed that Sarah didn't talk to me before confronting the three of them. Especially since the situation involved me as well. &q
Freya's P.O.V I hadn't spoken to Cameron for two days. The realization wasn't a pleasant one and it made me doubt myself even more. Had I been too demanding? Had I been too childish? Had Cameron given up on me? The last idea seemed absurd…considering how Sarah had glorified the mating bond…but it also made me think deeply about my own actions. For the last six years, I had been completely alone. The only companion I had was Julian. He had been the only person I had loved. My crush for Cameron had seemed as impossible as the existence of werewolves themselves. And yet, here I was, right at the centre of a werewolf pack and as it turns out, as Cameron's mate. I was someone he could never hurt, never turn down. But had I taken advantage of the kindness he had shown me? Had I grown conceited because of the mating bond, thinking that he would bend to my every request? When staying inside the room had started to suffocate me, I decided to head to the gazeb
Freya's P.O.V Blinking my eyes open, I looked around my room in a daze as the last vestiges of sleep left my mind. I hadn't slept like this in forever. I felt well rested like I hadn't felt in ages and I was loving the sensation until I realized…I hadn't been inside my room when I fell asleep. With eyes wide in surprise, and a little worried, I sat up in bed and looked around my room, trying to remember how I got here in the first place. But the reason became painstrikenly clear in a few seconds as my eyes met electric blue ones across the room. "You're awake." Cameron got up from the chair he was sitting on and came towards me then, his eyes searching my face for any traces of discomfort. "How are you feeling? You've been asleep for almost twelve hours." "Twelve hours?" My eyes almost popped out of my head as I looked at the clock on my bedside table and found it reading 11PM. "Wow…I must have been exhausted."
