her tears away. “It really does seem silly and immature now that I think about it and hear it out loud.”
They enveloped her in a hug.
Rane pulled her face up and said, “You were only sixteen and thought you were giving him what he wanted.”
She smiled. “I love you all.”
Jamie gave her a bear hug.
Rane shocked her by saying, “How about we all do something fun later tonight?”
Faith smiled. “Thanks, but I said I would go to Splash tonight with Remy and Sara. I promised I would join them in a competition. I love you all, but I need some girlfriend time. I’m going to go write in my vision book. I promise I’ll tell you what I saw tomorrow. Hey, aren’t you guys supposed to be out tonight saving the world?”
They all laughed. “You sure you’re okay?” Devlin asked. “We could come in and keep you company ’til your friends come to pick you up.”
“ No! ” Fuck, she said that too loud and too quickly. She backtracked before one of them offered to be the designated driver. “No, thanks. Really, I’m fine. We’re just going to go out dancing for an hour or two. So, I’ll see you tomorrow.” She ran inside before they asked any more questions.
Faith knew she was being selfish not telling them the information she saw in her vision instead of going out with her friends. The werewolves would die if they knew what she was doing tonight. Faith shuddered at the thought of how they would react if they saw her, but she was going to do this, not just for fun but to help build some much needed confidence again, especially now that she was back with all the gorgeous wolves. Tonight was going to be hers. She was going to get dressed up in something sexy, get drunk, dance, and basically behave like a normal twenty-year-old. No overprotective wolf around. She would worry about saving the world tomorrow.
Chapter 3
Kane felt like shit. He knew he needed to talk to Faith, apologize, beg her to forgive him. But like the coward he was, he sat in his huge, empty house watching the afternoon sun turn into night. Kane’s wolf was hounding him to go get their mate, bring her back home, make her believe he was sorry and they loved her.
Kane frowned. Did they, did he, really love her? What he’d done to her wasn’t the actions of someone in love. He had known her for fifteen years, well over half her life. Faith wasn’t perfect by any means, but he had watched her grow into a remarkable woman, well teenager, since she hadn’t had anything to do with him for over four years. What he had learned and found out, he really liked. He’d loved her four years ago, and after last night there was no denying he still loved her. Last night had been amazing. He still couldn’t believe his beautiful princess had been a virgin, because she drew people to her, especially men. His wolf had been ecstatic that he would be her one and only.
Kane stood up and walked to his shower, thinking of ways to make up with her. Faith had said she didn’t love him anymore, but he knew she did, otherwise she wouldn’t have let anything happen last night. There would be a lot of things to sort and figure out. It wouldn’t be easy, but Faith was worth it. He was so lucky to have her as his true mate.
He got dressed and drove to her house to find his princess.

Kane tried Faith’s mobile again, then Jamie’s, Devlin’s, and he even tried Griffen’s mobile, but no one picked up. Faith’s parents hadn’t been any help, all he got from them was that she had gone out with friends. So he tried his parents for info because he was starting to get an uneasy feeling, his wolf was pacing.
He finally got in contact with his mum who just said to remember her advice and try Rane. So Kane tried Rane’s mobile. He picked up on the first ring, and Kane sighed in relief. Kane could hear loud music in the background.
“Where are you? Do you know where Faith is?”
There was a long silence. “Kane, give her a rest
