“That’s what mum and dad thought when they let those three men in our camp, look how that turned out they are dead and I am alone” I tell her. Yet she didn’t agree, following the smell of what he was cooking. I step into the kitchen, he was bending over and getting something out of the oven.

“There are drinks in the fridge if you’re thirsty” He says though he keeps his back to me. That kind of irritated me because that meant he knew I was no threat to him. I was no threat to anyone and he knew. I would never turn my back to anyone. No one can be trusted.

“You can sit down,” He says, turning around to face me. His eyes dart down to where I am clutching his pants trying to keep them up.

“Sit please, talk, anything instead of staring at me like I am about to kill you” He says pointing to the dining table. I walked over to it sitting down in the chair that faced him.

“How old are you?” He asks, grabbing some plates done from the cupboards.

“It’s your age, can’t hurt you by asking questions” He mutters but I still heard him.

“23 I think” I tell him and he nods.

” I’m 28″ he tells me. I nod, was I supposed to care about age, was that something that was important?

“You had a mate?” He asks. Barely I thought to myself, that was over as quick as I met him. I say nothing.

“How long were you with those¡­.. People” He finally finishes before looking at me.

“Too long” I tell him, looking out the windows. I tried them already. They have no opening and are perspex.

“Why don’t you have windows?” I ask him and his eyes dart to them.

“So people can’t get in”

“Or out” I mutter under my breath.

“That is the other reason, but my last mate was killed because people got in the house, so I built this place. It is safer” He says before suddenly walking over toward me. I jump up the chair falling and hitting the ground behind me.

“Um” He clears his throat, his head turning upwards.

“Your pants” He says and I look down before scrambling to get them up my legs. I move grabbing the fallen chair.

“I won’t hurt you, here eat” He says, sliding a plate over to me. He places his down before moving to the fridge and opening it. He grabs something before turning around and handing me a bottle of water.

He waves it at me and I take it quickly.

I watch as he sits down before doing the same.

I noticed he used a fork to cut up his food, while he actually gave me a knife to use. I wondered if he did it so I wouldn’t be worried or if he was genuinely unconcerned about my ability to cause him injury with it. I pick up the knife and he stares at my hand for a second before looking down at his plate again using his fork to cut his own food again. I cut a piece off before popping it in my mouth.

“Kat said you had a mate” He says not like it was a question more a statement. I nod chewing slowly.

“I had a mate, her name was Angie she was killed in pack war” He says and I see his eyes flicker to his beast and his hand clenched tightly around the fork for second before his grip loosens.

“Is that why there are no women here, I can’t couldn’t smell and she-wolves” I ask and he looks up a little shocked that I actually answered him.

“Yes, our warriors were away helping Kat’s pack, we didn’t think the other pack would attack mine, they were all killed including the elderly and the children. We didn’t get back in time” He says and I could tell by the look on his face that he felt guilty about what happened to his pack.

“Your mate? I see he never marked you” He says, staring at my neck. I look at his and can see the faint outline of his mark that had scarred his neck.

“He didn’t get a chance, they killed him when they realised” I tell him.

“How long ago?” He asks.

“Couple months ago, a pack east of here they stumbled across him, he was nearly dead” I tell him.

“What do you mean, near Kat’s pack?”

“Yeah, same scent so I assume he must have been one of her pack members. We were camping just outside pack borders, they couldn’t find food and set up there. We could hear wolves fighting when it died down. They went searching to see if they could find anything left. They thought it might have been a bear or something to eat. Instead they brought him back, he was barely breathing and was torn to pieces”

“So that’s how he died, he was dead before he could mark you?” He asks and I shake my head.

“No, I recognised him instantly, my wolf kept talking to his wolf, keeping his wolf calm and alert for him to try to heal and his wolf said his Alpha attacked him. When they fell asleep I started licking him trying to heal him and he eventually woke up and realised I was his mate, the rogues wanted to use him as ransom but he when he realised I was his mate he tried to break the chain and they woke and killed him”

“I couldn’t picture Ezra attacking his own pack members, Ezra isn’t like that, ” Andrei says.

“Well he did but then the rogues killed him anyway and dumped his body close to the border but not before they made watch them rip him apart, he was pieces by the time they were done with him”

“What was his name?”

“Lyle he said he was a border patrollers, one their warriors” I tell hIm.

“I can ask Ezra if you want where he is buried, they should have found his body if the rogues left him on the border, Angie was from the same pack she is also buried over there, we can put something on their graves if you want” He tells me. I just nod not like it will do anything it won’t bring him back or change the fact this man was now my mate. He stands up picking up his empty plate before holding his hand out for mine which was also empty. I hand it to him and he takes it.

“Thank you” I tell him, that was first real meal other than raw creatures I had eaten in years.

“See he isn’t so bad Sage, maybe we can stay” Sierra says.

“Yeah everyone shows their true intentions eventually Sierra”

“Want to watch some TV?” Andrie asks before walking out toward the living room.

Andrei POV

She was talking, that was something, though she kept her distance as she sat on the edge of the couch ready to run at moments notice, no matter how much or how little she talked it was obvious she didn’t trust me of my intentions. Half way through the movie though I could see she was fighting sleep as her head would lul to one side before she would jolt back awake. Her eyes nervously went to mine to make sure I hadn’t moved off the other couch, yet her efforts to remain awake were futile and eventually exhaustion won as she eventually passed out.

Quietly getting up I walk to the linen cupboard and grab a blanket before walking outback out and place it over her. She doesn’t wake so instead I decide to sit on the floor beside her. Donnie had been annoying me constantly needing contact with his mate, but I knew touching her in any manner would freak her out so he would just have to settle with being close to her because that is all I could allow him at the moment. Her scent filled the air and I rest my head on the side of the couch getting comfortable and for the first time since Angie died I felt tired, not wired, not antsy and uncomfortable in my own skin. Sleep, something I took for granted for years until I found I could barely achieve a night’s rest.

I was unsure of how long I remained asleep for when I suddenly woken by Sage tapping my face, her fear perfuming the room and instantly making me alert to find her pressed back against the couch her knees to her chest as she stared at the hall when I hear the buzzer of the door alarm ringing and

Zane’s voice flit through my head.

“Finally Alpha, I couldn’t wake you and have been standing out here for ten minutes” I get up before looking at Sage.

“It’s my Beta, I will be back” I tell her rubbing my eyes and walking to the front door. I press my hand on the panel and hear the door unlocking. I pull on it and Zane was standing there with a few bags in his hands.
