“It’s Kairav” I immediately completed the name, seeing that I had pissed him off.
Kai closed the refrigerator with a loud bang, and I was surprised it did not fall apart. He walked out of the kitchen, and I could not tell if he was mad at me.“Kairav is a nice name,” Matteo patted the rabbit's head.“Kai was pissed”“He did not let me finish” I replied Kayden and Preston chuckled.“You are really interesting” he stood up from his chair “I look forward to spending more time with you. Amber” he smiled at me before leaving.Preston was different from the rest of the brothers, he wasn’t cold like Kai or cheerful like Marcus and Matteo, he gave me this warm feeling but he looked cold.I was about to take a pancake from the plate and noticed that my plate was empty.“Matteo” Kayden shouted at Matteo who was about to leave the room.“Thanks for the breakfast” he smiled before running outside.After breakfast, Kayden decided to take me to the mall and Matteo told me he was going to take care of Kairav.I found out that Matteo was a nature and animal lover, while Marcus was a nerdy science guy, they may be identical but have different preferences.We got to the shopping mall and I was surprised at how big it was.Aunt Kate and I only buy stuff during the moon festival, which was always held a day before the full moon.We entered the mall and a girl with blonde bouncy curls walked towards us.“Alpha Kayden,”Kayden was wearing a cap and my guess was that he does not want to be noticed, and it seems he sucks at his disguise.The girl who I guess works at the mall was giving Kayden a flirtatious look as she curled her hair with her fingers, she was smiling like a girl meeting her high school crush.“You said you were going to call me last week” she pouted“I am sorry, Anna…”“I am not Anna”“Uhnnn… Lily” it was clear that Kayden could not remember her.“No, it's June” she pouted as she stomped her feet lightly.Kayden was the playboy type, and sometimes I do wonder how his mate was going to feel knowing that her mate had slept with half of the she wolves in the pack.Aunt Kate always told me about how beautiful having a mate was, and I always wanted to find mine.“Oh…” Kayden rubbed the back of his neck.I was trying so hard not to laugh at their awkward situation, and I guess I could not hold it as a chuckle escaped my lips drawing her attention.“Who is she,” June asked, she had an annoyed look on her face and I could tell she was going to mistake me for one of Kayden's whore.I wanted to clear the air, but he held my hand stopping me from talking.“We are here to shop for clothes” he wasn't lying but I was sure June here was going to misunderstand.Her eyes moved to our hands and back to him, I could tell that she already thought that I was his girl.“You would not mind showing her the dresses you got”“Sure” she tried so hard to smile at me “come this way please”I looked at Kayden and he nudged for me to follow her.I walked behind her as she led me through the store and showed me different dresses.I could tell she wanted to say something but she refrained herself, it was obvious she did not like me and she gave a negative vibe.She showed me to the dressing room, but she stopped me from entering.“You don’t have to try too much, he will be done with you in less than a week” She did not wait for my reply and sashayed off. I had wanted to tell her that she was misunderstanding everything, but it seemed there was no use, I would just let her figure it out herself.I entered the dressing room to try on the dresses I had picked. I tried on a sky blue dress with black print on it, it really looked pretty.After trying several other clothes, I changed back to the red floral dress I had gotten from Shawn and went to look for Kayden holding the bags.I met Kayden sitting on a couch in the men's section.He saw me and frowned. He walked up to me with a pissed expression, removing his jacket, he placed it over my shoulders.“What's wrong,” I asked him, confused.He took the bags from my hand and led me back into the changing room, giving me other clothes to change into.I was confused at first, but when I entered the dressing room, I noticed that my dress was ripped.My face burned bright red, I felt really embarrassed knowing that I had walked around the store half dressed.I knew it was June, to think she could do something as petty as this really irked me.After changing into the jeans and t-shirt Kayden had given me, I left the dressing room to see Kayden and June who were kneeling with tears falling down her cheeks as she begged. Beside her was a man who I think would be the manager, he was scolding her. All the clothes I had shopped for were on the floor, and I realized she had not just ruined my dress but everything that I had bought.If I had cleared the air maybe jealousy would not have overwhelmed her.“Kayden” I called out to him.They all turned to me and I could tell he was pretty mad.“Fire her” Kayden growled at the manager, before walking to meet me.“Are you okay” his voice sounded calm and I nodded.We left the shop and proceeded to his car.I expected him to start the car, but his hands were just on the steering wheel.“Are you okay Kayden”Kayden was always teasing but seeing him this angry showed me another side of him.“If it's about the clothes, it's fine”“No it's not fine” I flinched at his tone.“I am sorry” he looked really stressed as he ran his hand through his hair “Shawn or Nathan should have followed you here, it's all my fault”I touched his hand, he looked at me surprised and I leaned towards him my face reaching closer to his. Our faces were only a few inches apart and I think I was overdoing it because our faces were close.Kayden's eyes met mine and he closed them inching closer to me and I immediately pulled back and laughed.His eyes flew open and glared at me,“You just had to leave me suspended”“It's payback for last time, and it seems I am not bad at it either” I gave a sheepish smile.I only did it because I wanted him to know I was not mad at him for what June caused.“If you want to do it, do it better”It happened in a swift moment, I did not know when Kayden’s face moved closer to me and his lips pressed to mine.Preston sighed deeply, his shoulders slumping in defeat as he turned to face me. “If you’re really interested, you can just go for it,” he said, his voice tinged with a mix of resignation. The thought danced in my mind—I was genuinely curious about what the adult toys looked like. Maybe Fiona and I could play with it during our sleepover. As I stepped into the toy store, an odd and whimsical energy enveloped me, making it feel almost surreal. Suddenly, a voice broke through my thoughts. “Are you unsure of what to choose?” Startled, I spun around to find Kai standing there with his usual stoic look. “I haven’t used any toys before” I replied to him, while he walked ahead of me and grabbed one of the weird looking toys from the shelves. “Why don’t you give this a shot?” he said, a mischievous glint dancing in his eyes as he handed me the toy. I couldn’t help but stare at it, curiosity bubbling inside me. “Come on, we can’t keep Preston waiting!” he urged, already striding out of
My heart palpitated as I stood in front of his door, I took a deep breath and was about to knock when I heard a voice behind me.“What are you doing here” I swirled around to see Kayden standing in front of me.“Erm… I came to see you” I tried not to stumble on my words.“And I do not want to see you” he walked around me and entered his room, closing the door to my faceI just stared at the door flabbergasted, how was I going to apologize to him if he kept ignoring me?I mind linking him, but he blocked me out.I leaned closer to the door “Kayden” I called out his name but there was no response. “I know you can hear me,” There was still no response from him.I heard a voice coming from down the hallway.“Amber Amber” It was Fiona screaming my name, I hadn't seen her since after the ball.“Oh my poor baby” she got to me and pulled me into a hug. “I heard what happened” she patted my back trying to comfort me.“I am fine” I tried to release myself from the hug, “Are you sure” she frown
We got to the pack house where Alpha Conrad was waiting in front of his car with his Beta as we approached them.Kai and Preston had decided to see me off, while I knew that Preston was going to be here, I least expected Kai.He was in a really good mood this morning making me wonder why, last night his attitude was different and made me think he would not want to see me at all.We got to where Alpha Conrad was standing and he was grinning from ear to ear.“Alpha Kai, Alpha Preston” he acknowledged. There Was no response from Preston but Kai replied.“It’s good to see you Alpha Conrad” he replied, making everyone turn to him.Preston was staring at him like he had grown an extra head.“The feeling is mutual” he then turned to me “It’s good to see you also Amber”I just forced a smile at him.“You know, I found out why you were scared of me on our first encounter” he stepped closer to me, and Preston took a defensive stance.Kai just leaned back, waiting for what he was going to do nex
I was trapped beneath Kai as his lips covered mine. I don’t know what was happening, but he was acting strange, and compared to the kiss we shared earlier today, this seemed rough.He suddenly raised his head and cursed loudly before suddenly leaving the room, closing the door with a loud bang.I was left confused, everything that happened was in a blur, one minute he was kissing me and the next he was storming off.I was too stressed to think about anything and the room felt stuffy.I left Kai’s room, knowing that I was not going to be needed.I decided to go outside for some air and try to clear my head, everything that has been happening to me has been occurring in haste that I never really had time to comprehend.These last few days had been pretty eventful and to top it all I was going to be leaving this pack tomorrow.I got outside and was surprised to see Nathan sitting on a log, I did not feel like talking with any of the brothers right now, hell I could not even face Nathan.
The silence in the room was deafening, the surprised look on everyone’s faces did not go unnoticed, Alpha Conrad was more shocked than everyone, I am sure he was already convinced that I wouldn’t accept the mate bond.Kayden suddenly erupted in laughter “You almost got us there”.“I am accepting the mate bond,” I said again and I think everyone was convinced that I was serious.Sitting in this room made me realize why my mother had not taken action to avenge our pack, if she had done that she would have war between the crescent pack and the dark moon pack leading to lots of casualties and deaths of people who know nothing about the feud.This was the only decision I could make, I had to keep my enemy closer to be able to strike and this was the only way.Accepting the mate bond will not grant me access to the blood moon pack, it will also make it easier with the kind of authority I was going to get from accepting the mate bond.“What are you talking about, you are going to agree to be
I wondered why Preston would need both of us. “You don’t have to look disappointed, we can continue this next time” he teased. I glared at him, shoving his chest as I got up and was about to leave not wanting to spare a glance at him. “You may want to know why Preston is looking for you” I ignored him, it was better I asked Preston myself. “Your mate is here” He answered disregarding my unresponsive attitude. I froze hearing what Kai had said. The last thing I wanted to do was meet with the man I was repulsed by. Once again I could feel the pain in my chest as anger bubbled inside me. “Amber” I did not notice that Kai was now standing in front of me, he placed his hand on my shoulder and I looked up at him. “As much as I don't want you to meet him, Preston and I thought that it would be best if you sort this out with him” He was right, though I had always wanted to exact revenge on the person who orchestrated the demise of my pack. I had never expected that person to be my
