I looked at Clay first. He wouldn't look at me at first but he finally looked into my eyes. I saw a fire there but I didn't know what caused it. Anger or lust? I wondered.
{He's mad that Craig is going to be Alpha. He's also mad that Craig and you are close. He wants you. Be careful. His anger can change to something very dark} the voice in my head explained.
"Clay, I heard you last night. In the woods? You wanted to bite me. To change me. Without my consent." I said softly to him. His face went from confusion to shocked to embarrassed.
"I just wanted to protect you. From guys like Neil. And so you would be able to join the pack. I was afraid that you were going to die." Clay stammered.
POV KittyI woke up the next morning in Craig's bed, in his arms. I was startled for a second but then everything came rushing back. He opened his eyes and looked at me."How'd you sleep, darlin'?" He asked. I looked at him and smiled."Good. I haven't slept that way in months" I confessed and he grinned at me.I stood up and ran to the bathroom. Craig went after I came back."What's the plan for today?" I asked when he came back.He shrugged."The meeting isn't until tonight and I'm off today, so we're free" he told me.
POV Craig"Mom! We're home!" I called out."I'm in the kitchen. Come have lunch" Mom called.I smiled, knowing that both Kitty and I were starving. My mom was the best.Kitty took off her bow and arrows and we both took off our coats and hung them before walking to the kitchen. Mom and Clay were sitting at the table, eating sandwiches. Clay smiled at Kitty but sent a glare at me which I was happy to return."All the sandwich stuff is out over there. Help yourself. Abby should be here in a couple of hours." Mom told us.Kitty made a cheese and veggie sandwich while I stacked up meat on mine. We sat next to each other
POV KittyI slipped into the limo after Abby as Neil and Craig glared at each other. I tugged on Craig's hand and he shook himself out of his stare down and sat next to me. Maria and Johnny just chuckled as Craig pulled me close. Abby rolled her eyes and stared out the window and Clay scoffed and did the same."Don't worry, Kitty. We will all stay close to you tonight. No one will hurt you, Colton would have their heads if anyone dared harm you." Johnny reassured me.I looked at Craig and he nodded. I wasn't really worried about someone harming me. I was worried about Craig. If the interaction with Neil was any sort of indication, tonight was going to be rough. I put my head on Craig's shoulder."Calm do
POV KittyCraig pulled me away from Colton who just chuckled at him. Colton then led us down the stairs as Patrick followed behind us. Colton stood behind the chair at the head of the table. Patrick sat next to Colton by a very sweet looking lady. Colton gestured for Craig and I to sit in the empty chairs on the other side of him. Craig hesitated but then nodded and pulled out the chair for me. I sat between Craig and Abby as Craig sat next to Colton. Colton smiled and sat."Let's now enjoy each other and this feast" Colton called and suddenly, there were servers and food everywhere.I shot a questioning look at Craig and he smiled."They are omegas, low in pack order. We used to hire humans but now we c
POV KittyI awoke in Craig's arms with a smile but it was cut short when I heard loud voices from downstairs."What do you mean, they're moving together?" I heard Clay yell.I started to sit up but Craig stopped me. I was startled to see that he was awake. He looked at me with adoration in his eyes."Don't worry. Mom and Dad will take care of it. Clay is just jealous" Craig whispered as he pulled me close."They are too young to move in together. He's taking advantage of the situation. She needs to know that she has other options!" Clay continued and I felt Craig stiffen.I turned my head to look up at him and he lo
POV KittyI sighed again and looked at the boy with a smile."Thanks but I'm happy with Craig." I replied dryly as I leaned into Craig.The boy seemed unbothered and grinned again."Well, if that ever changes, let me know. My names Stone." he smirked as I felt rage radiating from Craig.{Shut this down, now.} my voice suggested.I looked at Stone, he was built and had brown hair and brown eyes. He was handsome for sure but everything about him screamed cocky player. I could practically see his huge ego. It annoyed me.
POV Kitty After dinner Craig, Patrick, Abby and I followed Colton to his office. Neil trailed behind us to make sure that we were safe. We walked into a different office than the one we met in the other night. This one was smaller and looked like it was used more.{This is his actual office. The other one he uses to impress people} my voice said and I nodded.Colton waved us to sit down. I sat down on a couch with Craig on one side and Abby on the other."So, I asked you all here to discuss training plans and safety but now I need to ask a few questions about the bond between Kitty and Craig." C
POV KittyThe next morning, Craig and I woke up early. Well, I woke up early. He was being lazy, as usual."Come on, Craig! Let go. We have to get ready." I whined in his ear as he ignored my words and snuggled me closer."No. We're staying here today." he decreed."You know that we can't do that. We have to start our new schedules today, remember?" I argued."You mean the one where I have to share you for over half the day? Yeah, that's not happening." he disagreed as he pulled me onto his chest."You agreed to it last night." I pointed out and he just shrugged and closed his eyes.
5 Years LaterPOV KittyI nervously paced the room for a moment as I thought back to all the little moments that brought me here. I smiled as I looked out the window. It was a bright November day. The air was just beginning to turn into the crisp fall air I loved but it was still warm and lovely. It was a perfect day.My grinned turned even bigger as I watched the pack set up the chairs and aisle in the back yard. They all worked together and soon everything looked to be done.The pack had grown so rapidly in these past few years. News got out about the pack that accepted everyone including Humans and soon Supernaturals and Humans were arriving at our doorstep in droves. The Supernatural Council even visited a few years ago. We were all nervous that they would order us to disband but we were pleasantly surprised to find that they were completely supportive of us.It didn't hurt that we h
POV KittyThe next morning I awoke in Craig's arms. I looked up to see him already awake and staring at me with a smile."Creeper." I teased and he chuckled in his raspy morning voice."Only for you, Darlin'" he replied and I blushed and tried to hide my face."Aww. I love that blush and I work hard for it. Don't hide it from me." he teased back."Stttooopp" I whined blushing even more. "Alright, alright. Are you hungry, still tired? What do you want or need?" he asked seriously.That's when it hit me that today was my Grandmother's funeral. I could feel my face fall and Craig must have noticed it too."Don't do that, baby. I know that today will be difficult for you but I'll be by your side the entire time. So will the whole pack. You aren't alone anymore. You will never be alone again, alright?" he said as he looked deep into my eyes.I nodded and he stared at me for a second."I'm so sorry tha
POV CraigAfter the joining oath ended, Kitty rushed off to see her family. I watched her but didn't join them right away. I wanted her to have a bit of time with her family and I didn't want to suffocate her. In reality though, I wanted nothing more than to go pick her up and lock her in our room with me. My wolf and I were still trying to calm down from the recent events and it was taking all my willpower not to act like the caveman I really was. Clay and Luna came up to me and I smiled at their joined hands. Clay introduced me to Luna and I smiled warmly at her and shook her hand. She returned my smile. I looked back over to check on Kitty and Clay followed my gaze."Bro, is this killing you? I didn't think you'd let her leave your side. At least not yet." he teased.I scoffed but cringed internally knowing that he understood that this was torture for me."She seems so sweet and lovely." Luna chimed in with a calming voice and
POV KittyWhen we got back to the pack house. Colton ordered everyone to go rest and to regroup that evening for a huge dinner. "Will everyone have a bed?" I asked Craig and he smiled at me as he carried me up to our room."Darlin' we don't even use half of the rooms in this place. Everyone will be fine." he assured me.He walked into our room and I took a deep breath. "I can't believe that I'm finally here again. I've missed this place so much." I sighed as he set me on the bed."Sally helped me set your alter back up and I was sure to bring all your things back and put them away." Craig said as he opened the cupboard to show me the alter."Thank you so much! I was worried about my Mother's book." I smiled at him."Like I would leave something so important to you." he scoffed."I'm gonna take a shower. I feel gross." I stated as I stood up."Can I join you, Darlin'?" he asked.I looked u
POV CraigWe raced after Kitty into the hallway. The group that was originally there was gone but I didn't have time to think about it as Kitty ripped open the door on the left side of the hall. This was the door that Sally, Paul, Sammy, Zeke, Kitty's Grandmother and Sammy had gone in. The room looked similar to the one we found Nick in but it was all but destroyed. Drawers and shelves were scattered on the floor. We could hear crying and screaming. My blood chilled as we made our way to the sound. I tried to grab Kitty back when we saw what was happening but she was too fast and ran towards the chaos.In the center of the room stood Nick's mother. She was holding Kitty's Grandmother who was obviously dead. Saga and Sally were crying and screaming as Paul, Zeke and Sammy looked on in disbelief."She's dead. You are all next. I will take your power just as I've take hers." Nicks mother laughed.Kitty slipped in between her Aunts an
POV CraigI woke to the sound of a scream. Not just any scream, it was Kitty's scream. The sound had me jumping to my feet. As I stood, Clay looked over to me. He looked like he was just getting up as well. I looked around to see Neil standing looking in horror around the room. Abby and Tommy were still on the ground but I could see them breathing.I could hear a voice talking and even laughing faintly. Clay, Neil and I all exchanged a look and crept towards the noise. Just as we were about to turn the corner we heard a sound that I never want to hear again. It was Kitty screaming but it was such a raw and primal sound, full of heartbreak and fear but yet resilience and bravery too. It was bittersweet and made my eyes tear up.A bright light appeared and we rushed towards it. We were shocked to see that it was Kitty. She was literally radiating light. It washed over us and I felt a calmness in my soul. When it faded along with her scream, I was
POV KittyTrigger warningI watched in disbelief as Craig fell to the ground. Nick stood behind him with a syringe and an evil smile."What did you do?!!!" I screamed at him."Don't worry. I just knocked him out. He'll be fine. Well, he would be fine if I wasn't going to kill him." Nick smirked at me.Nick went to bend over Craig's body but Tommy to the chance to tackle him then. Nick fell with Tommy on top of him. Tommy stayed on him and began punching Nick in the face as hard as he could. Nick took a few good hits before he pushed Tommy off him and Tommy went flying into the wall. I watched as he slid to the ground, unconscious.I looked around the room to see all my friends on the ground. I was just glad that they were all alive still. I took a deep breath and glared at Nick."Now it's just you and I." Nick smirked and I narrowed my eyes at him."How did you do that?" I gestured toward
POV CraigI took a deep breath and gripped Kitty's hand as Clay swung the door open. We silently walked in and looked around. We looked to be in a giant storage area. There were cabinets and drawers all over the walls and lining down the middle. I turned to look at Kitty in confusion. She shrugged with just as much confusion in her eyes.Tommy looked towards us and opened his mouth to speak when we heard a shuffling sound. Neil gestured for us to stay quiet as we crept towards the noise silently. We crept around another corner to see Nick frantically searching through drawers and throwing stuff around. We watched as he grabbed something and nodded. He threw that object into a gym bag that was on the floor next to him. Then he continued searching.Clay and I glance at each other but then I saw Nick freeze in my peripheral vision. My eyes snapped to him and I watched in horror as he took a deep breath and smirked."Kitty." he said and turne
POV KittyI watched as Nick lost his last shred of sanity and humanity. I could literally see that light die in his eyes. I knew that I should be scared. I was standing in front of great evil. This vampire and his coven were powerful and worse than that, they had no morals or standards. They would rip us apart if we let them.I wasn't scared though. I felt as though everything in my life had led up to this moment. Every thing I had gone through in the woods, with the pack, losing my Dad, even losing my Mom. All of it led here. I knew then that this was what I was meant to do. This was bigger than Nick wanting me as his. This was about an evil council oppressing and harming the very Vampires they were supposed
