Kristine POVI stood there staring at these strangers, trying to understand what was happening. “It is hardly my fault that rogues attacked,” I said angrily. “If you were not here, we would not have had a rogue attack! We never see rogues,” Brittany declares. I looked between her and Zack angrily. Clearly, there was more to their relationship than he was willing to admit.“Leave us,” Zack commands Connor and Brittany. Brittany shoots me a scowl before walking out of the room ahead of Connor. I turned away from Zack as he sighed. “She is right. We do not have any rogues stupid enough to enter our territory,” Zack said to me. “What am I supposed to say?” I asked, as I turned back to look at him.He simply stares at me before replying, “Nothing,” he says as he starts to walk towards the door. He looks at me, “Are you coming?” he asks. “What for?” I respond realizing I had lost my appetite. “You are hungry; let’s go,” he replies as if commanding me to do his bidding. “I am not hungry anymo

Kristine POV“Ooof,” I mumbled as I was kicked in the stomach once again. I flew across the room, landing on the mat furthest away from Brittany. There are some warriors working out in the training area that we are using, but not many. While some have watched with concern, nobody has stepped in to stop the shit kicking I am receiving.We completed a five-mile run and some weight training. I was exhausted when we finished, but able to keep up. I was confident that was it for today, but I was wrong. We are ending a second hour of Brittany training me in hand-to-hand combat. We have not even shifted to our wolves. I have no idea what she has planned, but as I am lying on the floor curled up into a ball, I pray to the Moon Goddess we are done for the day.“Get up,” I heard Brittany snarl. I ignored her for a moment, convinced she had broken a rib with this last kick. “Get up,” I heard again. I slowly opened my eyes and looked at her standing over me. The hatred in her eyes tells me what I

Kristine POV“Have you heard from Dan?” Zack asked me as I was walking back up the stairs. I felt my step falter and would have tripped up the stairs if Zack had not grabbed me, ensuring that did not happen. I felt the sparks bounce along my arms and wanted nothing more than to lean into his strength. But I felt that betrayal from having seen him with Brittany earlier, and I pushed him away.“No, why would you ask me that?” I replied, continuing up the stairs. “Your father told me Dan had left the Oak Point Pack; I wondered if he had contacted you,” Zack said to me. I stopped and turned to look at him, “You are lying. He is still at the Pack. He would have called me if he was going to leave,” I replied to him, looking at him to see if I could tell if he was lying.Shaking his head, “I am sorry, I am not lying, Kristine. He left the Pack, and it would surprise me if he had not contacted you already,” Zack implied suspiciously. I felt a sense of unease as I took my phone out. I look, but

Zack POVI had been pissed when I followed Kristine and found that asshole’s hand wrapped around her arm. “She was not going with him,” my wolf murmured in my mind as he chased after his mate. “Quite a coincidence, if you ask me,” I muttered back to him, as I considered what I had stumbled upon.I knew Kristine had been upset with what Brittany had said, but I also knew I needed to get to her to assure her I was on her side. But when I found her with her chosen mate, I lost it. I would have ripped his head from his shoulders if it had not been for Kristine’s touch bringing me back to reality. I had no right to kill him for simply showing up on my property. The Wolf Council would not condone that.I could have contained him and sent him to my dungeon, but I knew he was simply drawn to Kristine. His desire for her was obvious and I could not blame him. But I could blame her. She had promised me she had not heard from him, and I had believed her. How stupid could I be to have believed her

Kristine POVI was in complete awe. I looked around, taking in all the details … from the tablecloth to the napkins to the dinner plates. The blanket, which was laid out with small pillows for us to lay on. Zack put the picnic basket down that held our supper. I could smell it, it smelled delicious. “Come, sit,” he said to me. I walked over, and he held my chair for me, helping me sit in it while he pulled everything from the picnic basket.There were steaks, baked potatoes, fresh vegetables, and what looked like a chocolate cake with boiled icing for dessert. How could he have known these were my favorite foods? I looked at everything and felt my mouth water at the thought of diving into the delicious food. I smiled at him shyly as he finished putting everything out.He pulled out his phone and started playing some background music. I could not contain my excitement. Nobody had ever done anything like this for me before. I had been on dates before, but this was by far the best experie
