his hackles
raised. More screams. I prepared to pounce. Sadie stepped in front of me facing
Jake. “Jake, you aren’t thinking clearly. Kai isn’t hurting her. Not in the
long run. I know how you feel. I’m going mad sitting around while we get your
mate changed , knowing my mate is a three-hour drive away in Seattle. He
is so close! But I have to be patient. It has to be like Aurora’s vision. The
timing needs to be right. You have to be patient. Trust her vision. Anna will
survive the change , and she will be your mate. You wouldn’t know that if
Aurora hadn’t told you. She’s on our side.” Jake whined and rolled over
exposing his belly. My inner wolf was pleased. I relaxed and approached Jake,
giving his muzzle a nudge. He stood and we both began to change back.
We all decided it was best to wait
outside. Once I had put on some clothes, I met everyone out back. After a
couple of hours of idol chatting, Kai spoke into my mind. ‘ She will survive
the change. Bring Jake and Emma.’ A huge sense of relief washed over me. I
still wasn’t even sure about being a werewolf, or if I felt confident being a Matefinder
and having visions. This was confirmation that my vision was correct. It gave
me chills.
“Jake, Emma, we are needed,” I told
them. Akash and a few others had joined our backyard party and now everyone
looked at me expectantly. “She will survive the change ,” I said,
grinning. Jake picked Sadie up and swung her around as she laughed.
Kai had just showered and greeted us
at the door to my bedroom. His hair was still dripping wet and he wouldn’t meet
my eyes.
“Her wounds are already closing and
her hair is growing. Her blood tasted like poison. The chemotherapy, I assume.”
He scraped his tongue against his teeth.
“Jake and Emma, would you keep watch
by her side and get me when she is coherent?”
They nodded and went into the room
quietly.
Kai met my eyes. I paled and stared
at his chin. “Anna will be using your room for the night, so you can either
sleep on the couch or with me. Let me be clear that sleeping is all I intend.
And maybe some kissing.” He grinned. All was forgotten from our earlier
argument. I stepped closer. “Well, I will only share your bed if there is a
promise of kissing AND snuggling.”
Kai put his finger to my lips. “Shhhh!
I have a reputation to uphold. Alphas don’t snuggle.”
I tilted my chin up and crossed my
arms defiantly. “Then I’m not coming.”
He scooped me up in his arms. I
screamed in delight as he walked me into his room, setting me down at the foot
of his bed. Looking at his soft blue sheets, I felt my stomach drop. I didn’t
want to go too fast.
“Just a kiss or two and then to bed,
my darling. I’m tired, and I wouldn’t do THAT until our wedding night anyway,” he
stated.
“Ugh! Get out of my head.” I smiled
while kicking off my shoes and jumping into his bed, wondering if he was
serious about waiting until marriage. True to his word, three toe-curling kisses
later he was snoring beside me with his arm tightly around my waist.
I took a moment to just reflect on
all that had happened. I couldn’t believe the transformation that had taken
place within me. I couldn’t believe I was lying in bed with a man I just barely
met. He was my Alpha and my Mate. Normally, I wouldn’t rush into things so fast
with a guy. I wouldn’t trust so easily. I would have my guard up. Maybe that
was my problem. Being a werewolf gave me new senses and instincts I never had
before. I could sense a deep connection to Kai, like I had been waiting my
whole life for him, that we had been created for each other. Oh man, I had it
bad. I was falling in love for sure. With a sigh, I drifted off to sleep.
“Meri Pyari,” a husky voice whispered
in my ear before kissing my neck. I opened my eyes to see a sexy Kai with dark,
tussled hair inches from my face.
“Is that Hindi?” I
raised. More screams. I prepared to pounce. Sadie stepped in front of me facing
Jake. “Jake, you aren’t thinking clearly. Kai isn’t hurting her. Not in the
