Kai POV
Kai stepped out of the bathroom, a towel slung low around his waist, water droplets trailing down his sculpted torso. His tattoos shifted slightly with the movement of his muscles as he ran a hand through his damp hair. "You're still here?" His voice was edged with irritation as he glanced toward the busty blonde sprawled across his bed. The disdain in his tone made her pout, rolling onto her stomach and propping her chin on her hands in what she probably thought was an innocent, tempting pose. He might have laughed if he wasn’t already regretting the last hour with her. She was a dirty little skank. "I was hoping for round two," she purred, her eyes devouring him. As if she had a right to expect anything more. He had already made her climax, despite the disappointment that set in the moment he realized her body didn’t excite him. He'd already made her cum all over his dick even though her hole was loose enough to turn him off once he'd seen it. He had still done the gentlemanly thing and gotten her off since it had already progressed to where she was naked and his groping and grinding had been an unfortunate promise of what was to come. He was a pissy like that - a nice guy. He had wanted to pull her down to her knees and make her suck him off so he didn't have to touch her flappy cunt, but that seemed like a dick move. So he'd turned her over and fucked her from behind with her legs pressed firmly together against the inside of his instead. It felt tighter that way. And her whore moans let him know that she liked that shit. See...A gentleman.... "Get out." Her lips parted in surprise. "W-What-?" "Leave! I have somewhere to be." Kai growled. He wanted to be rid of this girl. He'd never felt such repulsion towards a female he'd fucked before. He liked sex. Women gave him sex. Therefore he treated his playthings nicely -with all the devote affection a child gave to 'those toys' they'd play with now and again, but wouldn't notice if it was never seen again. "Maybe you can come find me when you get back from where ever you gotta be? Then I can make you feel good baby....help you to enjoy your stay-" A sharp knock at the door cut her off. Kai had already pulled on a pair of Calvin Klein boxer briefs and strode to the door, throwing it open without hesitation cutting off the blubbering and causing the girl to shriek and duck under the covers. The butler standing there jumped slightly, his face quickly flushing as he took in the disheveled blonde in bed. He handed over the freshly pressed Armani suit. Kai tipped the red faced butler who was trying to pretend that he hadn't noticed his colleague on the large bed in the center of the back wall and hurriedly turned to leave, nearly knocking Nathan over in his haste. Nathan came through the door smirking at the flustered man, knowing it had something to do with Kai. "Not dressed yet?" "I'll be ready in a few. Just give me a sec." "He was a little busy." Busty blonde decided to stick her head out from the covers. Another wave of queasiness washed over him and he had to refrain from curling his lips in disgust. He wanted to jump back in the shower to see if he could erase his previous charity work from the books of time. He exhaled sharply, his wolf stirring beneath his skin, agitated. "I thought I told you to get out!" He barkrd, the alpha lineage causing a fierce undercurrent into the suddenly too small room. Nathan's brows rose to his hairline at Kai's aggressiveness. Kai took a deep breath to try to calm himself. It wasn't the girl's fault that her weak human body had been unable to satisfy him. Kai exhaled and ran a hand through his hair. He didn’t understand why he felt so restless, like something was calling to him beyond these walls. "Seriusly?! ..... Asshole!!" She ran around grabbing her clothes off the floor, pulling them on as fast as she could before running out in a rather dishevelled state. Kai kind of felt bad that he'd scared her. But he just needed her away from him. Even when he was fucking her, his mind was elsewhere. He'd wanted to leave. His inner wolf being beckoned elsewhere. Somewhere beyond all this shit he always got himself into. He'd felt restless since entering this fucking town. All his nerve endings on high alert. His wolf ready to set out for the chase. He'd opened the balcony doors the minute he had entered the suffocating fourth story hotel room and stood outside smoking, not one, but two cigarettes, longing to shift into his wolf form and go running down the street below, before the blonde joined him on the balcony, intruding on his space. That should have been red flag number one. Instead he'd put out his 'smoke' and walked back inside where'd he'd engaged in other recreational activities for a short while. "Fuck!" Now dressed and hair somewhat tamed, "Let’s go," he muttered. Nathan followed, unfazed by his outburst as they headed toward the ballroomKai's POV Cammy's eyes widened when I marched through the front door with my men. A flicker of shock and hope flickered over her delicate features. My beast took possessive inventory of our mate, assessing that our mate was indeed safe. Of course she was. Her guilt had her caged better than bars ever could. She hasn't stepped outside all week. She'd been submissive, although I could find no pleasure in it. Just the ache from the knife she'd twisted painfully into my chest. The dark circles under her eyes and messy hair was evidence of her suffering. As she should be. If I was broken, then she should be too. I snapped my gaze from hers before she could speak and led my men through the house towards my home office. "Hey Cammy!" that idiot, Slade lifted Cammy off the couch and swept her into a hug. He was being too familiar and casual with my mate for my liking. I noticed all my men eying their future queen in relief after the encounter we just had. My wolf growled far more aggre
Cammy POVThe next few days were slow and torturous. Kai wouldn't forgive me. He remained cold and distant, his every action a silent reminder of my mistake. I apologized every time we were alone, trying desperately to win my mate back, but it was no use. He barely acknowledged me beyond what was necessary.Instead, he buried himself in work—overseeing patrols, holding endless meetings with his father and the generals, reinforcing security measures. The Blue Shadows pack had always been strong, but I hadn’t realized how deeply militant they were until now. Every movement was calculated, controlled. Members followed strict, organized routines that allowed no room for spontaneity. No one ventured out alone anymore. The once lively energy of the pack was now tight and cautious—like a coiled spring ready to snap. When I watched the movement from the windows, I could see nothing but observant eyes and tense shoulders.Training was still in full swing, but in smaller groups, and the schedul
Kai's POV The weight of her confession pressed down on me like a crushing force, suffocating and unrelenting. “I freed Edgar.” What the fuck?! The words echoed in my head, each syllable slicing through me, carving into something I wasn’t sure could heal. I was willing to risk everything for Cammy, to keep her secrets. But clearly, she was willing to risk everything to go against me. Without even considering what this would do to me or our people. And fuck, she had no idea what a sick bastard Edgar was. Cammy had made a mistake—a catastrophic, world-altering mistake. And she had just admitted it, eyes wide and brimming with guilt. But it wasn’t enough. The damage was done. Through our bond, I felt myself recoiling, closing off to her. A muscle ticked in my jaw as I forced myself to stay rooted, to keep from losing myself to the rage thrumming beneath my skin. My beast clawed at the surface, demanding action, demanding retribution. But from who? As furious as I was, as much as I w
Kai’s POV The forest was silent, but my mind was anything but. The truth sat heavy in my chest, a weight I couldn’t shake. Cammy—my sweet, gentle mate—was a fucking vampire hybrid. I could still hear her voice, soft and fragile, when she told me. I could see the way she curled into herself, waiting for my reaction, waiting for me to reject her. She had expected me to walk away. And for one, fleeting moment, I had. I had stepped out of the house, the walls closing in on me, my breath ragged as I shifted into my beast. I needed to run, to tear through the woods and let my instincts override the chaos in my head. My entire belief system had been shattered. I had spent my life hunting vampires, hating them, knowing them as nothing more than monsters that fed on the weak, taking pleasure in the suffering they inflicted. And now? Now, my mate—my entire fucking world—was part of them. "My mate." My wolf growled possessively, not happy with my thoughts. I ran until my lungs burn
Cammy POV The sun hung low on the horizon as I approached home, its fading glow casting long shadows across the path. Every step felt heavier than the last, my mind a storm of conflicting emotions. I'd spent the entire walk trying—and failing—to steady my nerves, but the weight of my actions pressed down on me in an unforgiving grip. Treason. That was what I’d just committed. A crime punishable by death. But somehow, what cut deepest wasn’t what I'd done against my pack or my alpha—the alpha king! It was what I'd done against Kai. What did this mean for us? For our bond? The thought of standing against him again made my stomach twist painfully. Would I do it again? Could I keep choosing this path if it meant going against the man I loved? And yet, how could I stand by and do nothing while my pack continued to hunt vampires as if their lives held no worth? This wasn’t just about Edgar anymore. This was bigger. I was caught between two sides. And I had no idea where I truly belong
Cammy POV I could still feel the ghost of Kai’s touch on my skin, the heat of his hands lingering even as I sat in the backseat next to Lindy. My head swirled with thoughts, a mix of irritation with my present predicament and quiet shock at my own actions earlier with Kai. When we had realized that Lindy had brought her friends with her, Kai's ex fuck-buddy at that, I had been pissed. Kai had pulled me off my knees and fucked me from behind on the table, leaving them to awkwardly wait by the car while I screamed out my orgasm, just like Kai's rough voice in my ear was telling me to. Than telling me what a good girl I was. Fully able to hear what was happening inside, Lindy tried to distract them with conversation, while Vera giggled and Angelique stayed quiet. Kai had smirked and told me not to wash his scent off me, to let them know that he'd just fucked me. I was horrified that he'd suggest that, horrified that I'd just allowed Kai to screw me like this, with them listening
