burst into the house to find out what was wrong. I felt my
shackles rise, my wolf was on alert. I looked left and right and
didn’t notice anything out of place. Kalli was still sitting on the
couch right where I’d left her.
    “Kalli are you alright? I heard you scream.
What’s wrong?” I asked in a rush.
    She looked up at me with tears clearly
visible in her eyes. I rushed to her side and wiped them from her
cheeks. She looked up at me with her lips trembling.
    “I can’t move. I don’t know why but I can’t
move at all and it has been hours since you went outside to talk to
my mom.”
    She was right. How did I miss it? The sun was
already beginning to set. My god I left my mate trapped on the
couch with an alpha command not to move. I was turning out to be a
bad mate. I should never have used my alpha to force Kalli to stay
there. What if I had gotten hurt? She would have been trapped on
that couch indefinitely.
    “I am so sorry Kalli. That was my fault. You
are free to move about the house and do whatever you would like.
How about you and I go into the kitchen and make ourselves
something to eat?” Kalli looked up at me with a look of
understanding.
    “You have alpha blood?” Then her eyes got
wider and her face changed to terror.
    “You are Lucas Madison. The next alpha of our
pack!”
    Kalli stood and before I could even grab her
she ran like the devil himself was chasing after her out of the
front door. I chased after her and realized that she is fast.
Faster than I am in my human form. I am going to need to shift into
my wolf if I am going to catch her. I felt my clothes ripping as I
leaped forward and shifted in mid air.

Chapter 7
(Lucas’s POV)
    It had been hard to catch Kalli even for my
wolf. She was fast. Vampire fast! She struggled when I first
reached her and she really didn’t want to come back with me but I
eventually convinced her. We’d spent the next couple hours in
silence going through the movements of making and eating something.
I was really glad that I had stocked the fridge just the day
before. It had been my intention on spending the weekend at the
house working on the second floor. So far, the only room upstairs
that was semi-finished was the master bedroom since I had to have
somewhere to sleep when I stayed here.
    Thinking about the master bedroom made my
cheeks heat and I found myself looking over at Kalli who was drying
the last of our dinner plates. She was so damn beautiful.
Everything about her was sexy as hell even those pointy little
vampire ears she had. Our sleeping arrangements were sure to cause
her to have another fit.
    Kalli just couldn’t seem to wrap herself
around the fact that nothing and no one could make me not want her.
She was convinced that I was going to reject her. She couldn’t be
more wrong. She was my other half. Without her in my life I am and
would be nothing. Life would not be worth living without my
mate.
    Even as a young pup, I dreamed of my mate. I
knew she would be special and different than other shewolves. I
knew she would be made just for me. My life was going to be defined
not by how strong of an alpha I was, but by how great I was as a
mate and father. I wanted nothing more than to spend my days and
nights with my mate and pups.
    That was something my father and I could
never agree on. My father had never found his true mate. At thirty,
he feared he would never find his true mate and started to bed all
the unmated shewolves in our pack and the surrounding packs. He’d
managed to get several of them with pups. I was the first male
born, so he wed my mother and laid claim to me as his heir. My
mother was much younger than him, and when her true mate found her,
my father had him killed to prevent her from running away with him.
My mother hasn’t spoken to my father since. My childhood was full
of hatred and anger.
    I would not have that for my pups. My mom
would lie in bed with me when I was small and tell me stories of
how a mated pair was
