All Chapters of Of Blood and Desire: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

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 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

Cammy POV I looked over at Angelique who had pulled herself together. Did the dimwit really think she had a chance? "That is enough! Let it go Angelique!" Kai growled angrily. "Kai, Angelique has a right to demand a fight in wolf form. That is the ancient way." Sigfried said calmly, but shot Angelique a look of disapproval anyway. Kai cast his father a look that could easily be described as one of hatred. He clenched his jaw and let his intense gaze fall on me once more. "Let's get this over with." I walked over to Kai as I pulled my sports bra over my head and kicked my trainers off. Kai gripped my hips as I stood in front of him, allowing him the honors of pulling my yoga pants off. I'd never done anything so bold before. and was thrilled when he devoured my lips in a punishing kiss in front of the whole pack. I found myself at the center of the mat for a third time, ignoring Angelique who was glaring daggers at the side of my face and smiled over at Kai who had his fisted

Cammy POV After that strange meeting with Kai's mother, Kai led me back inside. His friends had decided that we were going out for drinks to celebrate my victory and officially being announced as Kai’s mate. Honestly, I was never really keen on meeting new people. Small social gatherings were draining, and I was nervous about spending time with people who mattered to Kai. Especially since my welcome into this pack had been… complicated. First Angelique, now Kai’s mother. Even Kai’s friends made me feel like there was some hidden joke that everyone but me was privy to. Even with Kai’s hand enveloping mine, I still felt awkward standing on the outer circle of the group, taking in all the faces. Slade and Riley were joking around with Kai, teasing him about being all worked up over the fight and calling him "whipped." Their eyes flickered to me every now and then, and I felt my irritation rise. Alec stood close by with a tall, beautiful woman in his arms—his mate, probably. They we

Cammy's POV "Hellooo-" I heard the door slam loudly as Lindy let herself into my house. My house. It was amazing how comfortably at home I was already. I'd been here just a few short weeks. I couldn't help my smile. I usually hated my privacy invaded. Unexpected guests were usually something I couldn't stand. But I never had to plaster a fake smile on with Lindy. It was genuine. "Up here!" I called from my bedroom. "Hey! Whatcha reading?" She walked in the bedroom door and jumped onto my bed, laying beside me. "It's a new trilogy out. They're making a movie on it. Figured I'd see what all the hype is about." "And is it any good?" "It's different. I haven't gotten far enough to judge yet." I closed the book and rolled to my side, facing my new friend. "So, how was college registration?" I keep my voice light. She didn't know that I'd actually wanted to attend college. I didn't want to think ill of my new alpha. I was damn irritated with him, but I needed to let it go. I
