Kane's Mate (Armageddon Mates) Read Online Free PDF Page A

gasp then run away. I made it worse when I called Faith’s name when I finished, which didn’t go down well with the she-wolf. She left, but she went to go find Faith. I think I caught all the conversation, stuff about her only having a crush on me and me thinking of her as an annoying necessity, I think I even felt the pain from where I was hiding like a coward. Then the she-wolf said that I was alpha, next in line, and she was just a nobody human. I nearly broke then, my wolf wanted to kill the she-wolf, but I held back and as soon as the she-wolf was done I grabbed her and we left. I broke Faith’s heart. That’s why she has had nothing to do with me.”
    Jamie drew back his arm, punching Kane square on his nose. Pain exploded across his face, but it was nothing less than he deserved. “You’re a fucking arsehole. I found her that day and it took me hours just to get her to stop crying, and I had to console her for weeks. She wouldn’t even tell me what it was about.” Jamie took Faith from Devlin and headed to the front door.
    Devlin joined in by stepping up to Kane and slogged his nose, making it bleed. “I had no letters for two weeks. That was the only time I didn’t get any besides when I was on missions. Shit, Kane, I thought someone had died. I almost went AWOL.”
    Devlin joined Jamie at the door, Griffen walked over to them. “Wow, Kane, I never knew you were so selfish. I had months of…I guess you could call it no sunshine, because every time I checked on everyone there was a void where Faith usually was. Somehow, she had learned to block me. When I asked about it she said she wasn’t feeling good and she’d blocked me so I didn’t feel bad.”
    Kane was shocked when even Rane got up. “Well, we all know why she stopped talking to you. Faith knew you knew what happened and what was said. She probably knew you were watching, hiding.” Rane shook his head. “You really are an arsehole, and now you expect her to just get over what you did to her. You could have done something to fix the rift over the years, but no, after all this time you expect her to just happily be your mate.”
    Even Arden shook his head as he got up to join them. They walked out the door with Faith while Kane sat on his lounge, scared that what Rane had said was true. He was so angry with himself.
    “Really, son, there were other ways,” said his dad.
    His mum took his hands in hers. “Look, we’re not perfect, no one is, but I really think you need to give her some time. She was sixteen, and that’s such a vulnerable age. I know she’s twenty now, but we all knew how she felt. My God, Kane, she must still have feelings for you or she would never have stayed last night.”
    He tried to say she had no choice but his mum wouldn’t let him get a word in.
    “I know you don’t think she could have stopped you, but I remember watching her train with all of you and she never lost a fight. Ah, don’t say you all let her win, because I remember a couple of visiting wolves who spared with her and they all started taking it easy on her ’til the end and they still ended on the floor. So don’t give me that she had no choice. She stayed last night because she wanted to. Give her some time. Call her later to organize a time to talk and woo her. Your father and I are going now too, so think about it.”
    Kane was left in his large house all by himself.

    Faith had awoken when Kane was telling everyone what she walked in on. He then told them what the girlfriend had said to her. Faith was so embarrassed she didn’t say anything for the whole ride back to her parents’ house. She turned to all five guys as they got out of the car.
    “I’m sorry for the four years of childish behavior I put you all through, but at first I was so upset and angry that I couldn’t even look at him, and then it just became easier to give him what he wanted. So I left him alone. It hurt too much when I was around him anyway.” Faith wiped
