Justine stepped around me. My head snapped toward her just as Nathan reached out, his fingers brushing against hers. Justine’s golden eyes were wide with shock, her lips parted as she stared at him. "You're my mate?" she let out in a breathy whisper. Nathan exhaled slowly, his jaw relaxing slightly. "Yes." A wave of emotions crashed over me—relief, excitement—for her—but also something deeper, something unfinished. Because even as I stepped back, distancing myself from the moment that wasn’t mine to claim, my wolf still stirred. And then I turned my head up at the person appearing behind Nathan.. Kai Rutherford. The moment I saw him, I knew. He had always been imposing, but right now, he was absolutely devastating. Towering over most of the guests, his presence was magnetic, his sharp jawline set with intensity, and his obsidian eyes burning straight through me. The raw energy radiating between us was nearly tangible, a force pulling me toward him. My heels wobbled on the polished marble floor, my balance thrown off by the sheer power of our bond. He took a step forward. I mirrored him. The two feet separating us felt like an impossible distance, yet the moment we closed it, it was as if something inside me snapped into place. The connection I had felt all day—the invisible thread tugging me in an unknown direction—had led me here, to him. To Kai. His gaze was unrelenting, intense, drawing me back into his gravitational pull. My breathing turned shallow as he gently lifted my hand with his rough, calloused one, his fingers sending electric currents straight through my veins. He brought my knuckles to his lips, inhaling, eyes glowing with intensity before pressing a slow, deliberate kiss to my skin. A deep growl rumbled from his chest, vibrating through me like a wave of euphoria. My knees weakened, my head spinning as a rush of heat flooded my body. I was drowning in it. His other hand wrapped around my waist, pulling me flush against him, his nose grazing the side of my neck as he breathed me in. It was overwhelming, primal, as if he was claiming me without words. My pulse hammered, my entire body attuned to his. I clutched onto the fabric of his suit for support, afraid that if I let go, I might collapse. A loud throat clearing shattered the moment. I turned my head, startled to find Grandpa standing a few feet away, Gran just behind him, both wearing wide grins. Around us, I finally noticed that the guests had stopped singing the traditional birthday song and now stood watching with expressions of awe and delight. The realization struck me like a bucket of ice water. They had all just witnessed our mating bond snap into place. Justine’s hands were entwined with Nathan’s, her smile radiant, her golden eyes twinkling with joy. The moment she locked eyes with me, she let out an excited squeal, pulling me into a tight hug. Kai’s grip on me loosened slightly but didn’t disappear entirely—I could still feel his presence, his warmth, the unbreakable bond tying us together. "Wow," Justine whispered in my ear, her voice trembling with excitement. "Just... wow." I laughed, breathless, the weight of everything settling over me. 'Wow' was an understatement. For the first time in my life, I wasn’t fighting my feelings. I wasn’t raising walls. I wasn’t hesitant or unsure. I was his. And he was mine. And that was grounding.

Of Blood and Desire Chapter 62
Cameron POV My feet slam against the earth and the house becomes a memory I can already feel slipping away. For the first time in days, the world is not a room with four walls and accusing eyes — it is sky and wind and the wet, honest smell of earth under my boots. I inhale, and the air is like a drug: cold, green, alive. It slides down my throat and sets every nerve alight. My hybrid senses wake like a predator roused. The wolf in me hums with the joy of space; the vampire in me drinks the metallic tang of blood on the breeze, not mine but somewhere ahead, a distant heartbeat threaded into the forest’s pulse. I taste it on the wind, almost sweet, buried beneath sap and moss. I let myself smile because even as guilt nips at the edges of me — that stupid, naive mercy that freed Edgar — my body remembers what it is to be free. My muscles loosen. My shoulders drop. My eyes sharpen to my surroundings. Kai’s shouts split the air behind me — orders, curses, the thump of men springing

Kai'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 aggres

Cammy POV The 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 sc
Of Blood and Desire Chapter 59
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 a
Of Blood and Desire Chapter 58
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 burne
Of Blood and Desire Chapter 57
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 b
