Kate POV             “Are you joking?” I ask him as I continue to look at him from the other side of the tub.  “I don’t understand this obsession with Josey, but if she bothers you that much, I’ll look at placing her someplace else when we get back to the Silver Crescent Pack,” he says.  I feel like he’s trying to pacify me, but frankly I’ll take it for the short-term.  “Did Amelie ever say anything about why she didn’t want Josey around?” I ask Colby.  “Kate, Amelie is a little girl with an over-active imagination, she never said anything else, and I never pushed her on it,” he replies.  “She was right about your ex-girlfriend,” I remind him.             Before I met Colby, his ex-girlfriend Jessica was jealous that he had stopped dating her when we found each other.  She scared Amelie into being afraid of me.  Amelie final

Kate POV             Colby and I had decided to go back home today.  Nothing was happening on the rogue front.  I had heard from Drake.  He shared with me that Maddie was taking a couple days with her family, which left him feeling conflicted.  I knew it was hard to be away from your mate, but maybe this was what Maddie had needed.  She did indicate she wanted to see me again, so I offered to Drake that they could take our plane, if they wanted.  He agreed so they’ll be coming out when she gets back home.  He also promised her a vacation.  We were closer to the coast, so he was going to take her to see the ocean as well after we met.               Colby had the opportunity to see my parents.  While he was disgusted with whatever my father had been involved in all those years ago, he had wanted to apologize to

Kate POV             Walking into the training area, I went to the women’s locker room.  While wolves had no issue with nudity, we still respected boundaries and having changing rooms was about respect.  I grabbed a pair of leggings and a sports bra I kept in my locker for times when I just needed to train.  Not wanting to spar I went to the gym area and did a five-mile run on the treadmill before switching to weights.             As I hear the door to the room open, I look up to see Colby there in his regular clothes.  “I said I wanted space,” I say to him.  “I want you to call Miranda,” he says.  Looking at him surprised I have a questioning look on my face, “Why?” I ask.  “Because if she has been influencing me with magic, I want it gone,” he says coldly.  “And then I want to kill her for what she’s done to Amelie an

Kate POV             I lay there trying to sleep, but I can’t.  I know Colby is still awake as well.  Sitting up, I startle him.  “I can’t sleep here,” I say getting out of bed.  “Why?” he asks, confused. “I know it shouldn’t, but it bothers me that you slept with her.  For all we know it could have been in our bed,” I say with annoyance.  He looks at me with sudden awareness of what I was saying.  He jumped out of the bed, “come on, let’s sleep in the spare bedroom,” he says.  Shaking my head, “I’d like to be alone tonight, Colby; I’ll take the couch and you take the spare room,” I offer.  “No, I’ll take the couch, you take the spare room,” he says coming over to kiss me on my head.  “I’m sorry for all of it Kate; for my weakness at being taken in,” he says.  Nodding, “I know, I just need a bit of time to get over it,” I say to him.  Hugging him I step back and

Kate POV             After an enjoyable supper last evening, we all had an early night.  Amelie was wound for sound at having new people around.  She adored Drake; he was definitely her favourite.  Maddie was stand-offish with her. I suspect because she wasn’t used to being around children.  It takes time to adjust without a doubt.  I think Amelie will win her over though; she’s a persistent child.             Maddie and I are meeting this morning at ten.  Then Maddie and Drake will head out on their mini vacation with the intention of stopping on their way back through to catch the plane home.              I got up and went back to our room.  I would have to make the effort to get over the Josey situation.  Colby spent a lot of time apologizing and try
