Lea JamesSo sorry for the pause in my updates. I had two family members I was caring for that both passed away and I couldn't find time to write or really find the mindset for it. However, I intend on regular updates moving forward. Thank you for your patience and for reading. ❤

Alpha Tate’s POVGripping the front of my hair as I stroll through the hallway, I struggle to find the best way to describe the strange swirl of emotions coursing through me.Something that keeps happening ever since this chick came back to the pack.Not sure how I kept my cool with Kit back there.Keeping calm hasn’t exactly been a strong suit of mine in the past.And she is not the easiest to keep calm around, she’s got quite a temper herself and doesn’t mind using it against me, that’s for sure.Can’t believe she threw a shoe at me.Who throws shoes at someone? Let alone their Alpha.“Hey, what are you grinning about?”Turning my expression into a scowl, I glare at Peter, whose own grin instantly slides away.“What have you heard?”“Nothing. They didn’t find anyone yet. Picked up on a scent around the perimeter, but nothing crossed into the territory. Could just be wandering rogues.”Scratching my jawline, I stare past Peter at the wall behind him, an uneasy feeling creeping in.Ar

Kit’s POVMy body aches, freaking screams at me to move the rest of way to meet Tate’s perfect, and no doubt delicious lips.And I almost do, leaning forward just slightly…but then quickly ducking under his arm and away from him.Tate’s hand drops from the wall as he looks at me, his expression unreadable.Still not even sure that I don’t want him to kiss me, I meet his gaze silently, the air seeming to crackle between us.My pocket buzzes and I reach for it, grateful for the distraction.“Colin is coming home early.”Reading the text out loud, I wonder why there’s just a teeny twinge of disappointment tainting my excitement that my boyfriend will be home late tonight versus in the morning.Meeting Tate’s eyes, I know exactly why.“You should go.”I know that.He’s totally right.Doesn’t mean that it doesn’t hurt my feelings that he suggests it.Nodding, I back up, scanning the room for the exit.“Kit?”“Yeah?”“If you ever change your mind, you know where my room is.”Gulping as my b

Kit’s POVSomething’s wrong.Bolting upright from my deep sleep, I blink in the dark.Throwing the blankets off, I slide off the bed, my heart racing, and tip toe to the bedroom door.Cracking it open, I cautiously peek out before slipping through and sneaking down the long hall.It’s dark.Quiet.There’s no real indicator that anything is wrong except I just feel like it is…Passing a wall clock, I read the time at just past 1:00 AM.Which means that Colin should be home by now.Cami should be home by now…Walking past her door, I hesitate, then lean against it to see if I can hear any movement.It’s silent and there’s no light coming from the sliver under the door.Picking up my pace, I head downstairs, not sure why, just following my intuition.Which leads me to Alpha Tate’s office door, with the lights clearly on.Hesitating, I lift my hand, then give it a quick tap with my knuckles.The door swings open almost instantly and I give a choked cry of relief as I throw myself against

Alpha Tate’s POV“Jody, walk with me.”Jody glances over his shoulder at me with a frown, not removing his arm from around Cami’s shoulders.“Can this not wait until the morning?”“No.”Jody leans even closer to whisper in his mate’s ear, kisses her on the forehead, then watches as she continues down the hall to their room without him.“She’s safe here, Jody. Don’t worry. Step in here with me.”Gesturing towards the library, I move inside and wait for Jody to join.“Hey, are you okay? Did something happen between you and Kit while we were away?”Jody’s astute observation surprises me, but I wave it off.“It’s fine. She’s just worried about her sister, understandably.”“Yeah.” Jody mutters, rubbing the back of his neck.“Jody, I need to know…are you sure they were rogues? Are you positive it wasn’t a set up?”Now that Cami isn’t with him, I need to see if his answers are the same or if he was just trying not to frighten her.Jody meets my gaze and nods.“It wasn’t anything like last ti

Kit’s POVWell.Clearly, I didn’t think this through.Once again, my irrational behavior has gotten me into an uncomfortable situation.I just wanted to get away for a moment.To let out some frustration.Scream without being heard.To put distance between me and Alpha Tate, who has me feelings things I shouldn’t be and acting like I don’t have a lick of sense.Right now, I feel like a complete idiot.Sitting by the lake, my knees pulled up to my chest, completely nude, and unable to even think about my next move.Because if I think about my next move, I have to shift to my wolf form to go back through the forest for training, which I don’t want to do, because as my wolf, it hurts even worse that I am near my mate, yet I’m not with him.The alternative is to walk around, naked, until I find clothes hidden somewhere, and risk running into everyone from training starting wolf combat somewhere out here.Not ideal. I am still not comfortable with being full on nude around everyone. I’m al

Kit's POVI don’t recall having any conscious thought that I should do it, but my hands seem to act on their own and are now splayed against Tate's sexy torso, greedily moving upward as I meet him the rest of the way to press our lips together.My fingers clutch his shoulders, and his strong hands catch my hips as my body goes weak, hanging onto his as he deepens the kiss, his touch, his scent, everything about him is creating a fire inside of me that I desperately need him to quench.Tate lifts me, wrapping my legs around his waist, pushing my back against the wall, his manhood poking my thigh.I know I shouldn’t…I know it…but there is no rational thought in my head right now. Just mad, uncontrollable desire.Reaching down, I wrap my hand around his thick rod, letting out a moan against his lips as I stroke it’s very impressive girth.“Kit…”Gasping, I pull back, meeting his gaze as I line him up between my legs, giving my hips a wiggle of invitation.I don’t know what has gotten ove

Alpha Tate’s POVDo something…the entire fucking pack is here, watching me, watching how I react to my ex-girlfriend showing up on my doorstep out of the blue.With luggage.The girl that they all think wrecked me.Tore my heart out when she left.Now here she is.Right here in her element, the center of attention.She’s probably hoping I make a scene, to prove that she got under my skin, that just her presence affects me.Wouldn't she just love that.Striding casually towards her, I stop a few feet away and look purposefully at her luggage, then raise my eyebrows at her.“Coming for a visit?”She does that thing where she lowers her head and looks up at me, blinking her heavily painted eyelashes and sticking out her lower lip, her voice a soft whine.“You haven’t seen me in ages, and that’s how you greet me? Don’t I at least get a hug? Or do you hate me that much?”My jaw twitches as I force a tight smile.“No, I don’t hate you. Come here.”Her smile is triumphant as she gives a litt

Kit’s POVIt’s hard for me to know exactly what it is that I am feeling, as I watch Alpha Tate waltz inside, leaving a fuming Sarah on the front porch with all her luggage.Jealousy, for sure, it would be impossible not to.But he didn’t seem too excited to see her…and she wan't welcome to stay in the packhouse with him.Which makes me feel a little relief…maybe a little triumph of my own as she scrunches up her face while Jody walks up to her.“Kit, are you okay?”Cami has made her way to my side, looking at me with concern as she grabs my arm.“Yeah, why wouldn’t I be?”Shrugging, I try to act as casual as possible, while smoothing my hair at the same time.Sarah really does have phenomenal hair.That bitch.“Oh, well, I just thought…”“So, Kit, shall we go get ready for tonight? I could use a shower. Care to join me?”Colin’s cheery voice sounds a bit forced and I catch him exchanging glances with Jody.And so does Sarah.Her eyes fall on me and I can tell it takes her a second to
