Kate POVI awake early in the morning. Wan is taking care of his mother, and I prepare to leave to meet him before Erick wakes for the day. I look in on him after I cook breakfast for Angie and Cassie. He is sleeping soundly.“You should not leave without him. You know he wants to go with you,” Angie says.I set the plates on the table. “I know, but I think this is something I need to do alone,” I say.“It may be something you think you need to do alone, but Erick loves you, and you should not just leave. He would understand if you told him how you feel,” Cassie says.“I think I should just leave and come back when I figure everything out,” I say.“No, you don’t, or you would have left. Instead, you cooked breakfast and keep looking in on him. You want him to wake up and catch you. I am not stupid,” Angie says.“You know nothing about me,” I retort.“I know more about you than you know about you. Stop acting like this. You have been acting crazy since yesterday. Is it the wolves talki

Kate POVI feel so calm since I decided not to see Macon. It puzzles me that Wan said I would need to see Macon to stop the wolves. Instead, it caused me to feel overwhelmed. I need to know the truth, but tonight I want to concentrate on Erick and getting married to him.Angie has worked feverishly on the wedding. I have not made any decisions. She arranged for me to be pampered all day while she works. She ordered food, a cake, and my dress. She is going nuts over a small wedding. Only a few members of the pack will be in attendance. I want it small. We can do something more significant later. I want to be his wife, and I want it to happen tonight.One thing that is strange to me is that Wan has not called or came by to see why we did not show. Maybe he realizes that I am going another route, or he expected me to back out. I could be wrong. Erick could have informed him. I do not know since I have not talked to Erick all day except through Angie. She refuses to let me see him until t

Kate POVErick is upset. He walks behind Alexander and me growling like a rabid wolf. I keep looking back at him to try to ease his mind, but it is not working. He is worried about me. With all of this new information, it is hard to tell who is telling the truth and who is lying to us. I know that I need to know the truth from someone, and I do not care who tells it.It is funny how much my life has changed in such a short time. I was broke living in filth, and now I am the wife of the Alpha and a hybrid. All of this is a lot for one person to take in at one time. I only need someone to sit down with me and tell me about my past. I want the truth and not sugar-coated lies of the truth.Alexander goes into the house and sits down in the front room. Erick comes in behind us. He is still growling. I reach for his hand and smile at him, hoping to ease his mind. He smiles for a second and then returns to the scowl that looks so pitiful on his handsome face.Andrew and Angie join us in the

Kate POVI wait patiently for my husband to come back up the stairs to our bedroom to spend our wedding night together. The night has been eventful, to say the least. My brother and father show up on the most special day of my life when neither of them even know me or have been in my life. Yet, here they are, trying to both tell me what I need or do not need to do about my past. My life is very much in turmoil and extremely calm at the same time. I am happier than I have ever been, yet I sit with these two people fighting over who wants what is best for me. In the end, I only trust Erick. I believe him when he says we will face this together. I never thought I could love someone like this and so fast. He is my heartbeat.Erick finally comes to the bedroom door. After dealing with a vampire and a wolf, he looks exasperated, both trying to kill each other in the front room of our house. “Are you okay?” I ask him. He does not look okay. He looks like he is done dealing with everyone exce

Kate POVI am sitting in Erick’s lap, trying to eat my breakfast, when Cassie comes in with Macon. I look up at Macon and Cassie, but I continue to eat. I am starving and not awake enough to deal with all of this yet.“Kate, I only wish to talk to you, please,” Macon says. Macon sits down at the table with us. Angie gets up from the table. “Would you like something to eat?” she asks Macon.“That would be wonderful,” Macon says politely.I reach out to Angie. “You are not his servant. He can take care of himself,” I say to Angie, motioning for her to sit back down. “He is a guest,” Cassie says. “An uninvited guest,” I correct Cassie. Macon gets up from the table, but Cassie stops him. She makes him a plate and smiles when she hands it to him. Hmmm, that is who the drama and laughter are about this morning.I sip my coffee while sitting in Erick’s lap. I want to have a good day, but I know it is about to get eventful, and there is no way for me to prevent any of the events that will fol
