They stare at each other and then Cameron’s gaze shifts towards me.“You’ve caused me a lot of trouble, Danielle.”His voice is calm but there is an underlying note of strain in it.“But if you had to leave, you shouldn’t have come back.”Adam’s hand curls around me, “I would prefer you don’t speak to my Luna.”That has Cameron reacting.“She’s your Luna?” Cameron looks shocked. “How is that - She’s past the age of finding her true mate!”“Well, clearly you’ve been fed a bunch of lies,” Adam hisses. “I knew the moment I saw her. She is now my mate; she wears my mark!”I push aside my hair to reveal the mark on my neck.Cameron’s eyes tighten, “Jason isn’t going to like this.”“Well Jason has taken enough from me for a lifetime,” Adam says, coldly. “If he tries to go for Danielle, I’ll kill him this time.”Cameron just studies Adam before he says, "Why did you bring her back? Why did you come back?”“I want my sister.”I see the shift in Cameron’s eyes, “Look-”“I know she

Whatever I had been expecting, it had not been this.I hadn’t thought that Adam would through Jason under the bus so quickly. However, despite Jason’s anger, he is quick to do damage control, “I don’t know what misconception you have about what is going on here, but it is not my fault if Cameron refused to mark your sister. He must have seen something lacking in her. But considering the scars she bears, is it any wonder that no self-respecting man would want to take that female as a mate? She should be grateful that she can still serve the pack.”There is a threatening edge to his words, and I can feel Adam’s hand tense, but his expression doesn’t change.“I told you back then not to abandon the pack simply because your sister lost her status,” Jason’s face is beginning to relax. We had to survive five years without a Beta. The pack suffered with the hierarchy being affected. And now you come back, taking the female I brought from another pack to stand next to Cameron Moore simply s

“Fiancée?” I look at Adam confused.Adam doesn’t look very pleased, but he doesn’t deny it, either. “It’s true that our parents welcomed this match and wanted me to approach Jason to arrange this match but then that bastard took Jenny from us-”“Please, son,” Adam’s father says, stiffly, “don’t take that thing’s name in our house.”I see the flash of fury in Adam’s eyes, “That ‘thing’ is my little sister!”His mother sighs, as if in exasperation and it’s then that I notice the three-year-old sitting quietly in a corner, “No, that is your little sister, Adam. Riley, come over and greet your big brother.”Riley is a cute little thing, but I can see the disbelief in Adam’s eyes as the little girl toddles over. He doesn’t touch her or greet him, and I can feel his anger building inside of him like a damn, “You think you can just replace Jenny?”His words are akin to a roar and the little girl stumbles back, startled before bursting into tears. A woman who looks like a nanny hurries o

“What?” Jason snarls. “What the hell is this? Who do you think you are coming into this pack and claiming our females?! I don’t care what she is to you, she’s our new pack breeder!”The man growls back, his wolf in his eyes, “No, she’s not! This female is my Luna. My wolf recognises her.”This is when Adam decides to step in, “Well, maybe we should ask my sister. Jenny? Is this man your true mate?”This is the first time Jenny has seen Adam and her eyes well up with tears but when she looks at me, I give hr a discreet shake of the head. Now is not the right time.She glances at the man holding her and nods, “I can feel the bond between us.”Her voice is rough and scratchy from all the crying but there is a determined note in her voice, as if seeing her brother has awoken something inside of her.“Well, there you have it,” Adam shrugs, a smug smile on his face as he looks at a furious Jason. “She’s his Luna.”Jason gets in his face, spittle flying from his mouth, “She isn’t his

 I close my eyes and ears to what is happening to my parents but fortunately, I don’t hear much about them. It’s like they have disappeared.“I’ll fix things,” Adam tells me grimly a few days later when he sees me sitting quietly, my face pensive. “So far nothing has happened.”However, there is more than my parents that I’m concerned about. Maya, Adam’s ex-fiancée and childhood friend has decided to move in to catch up and my mate has begun to forgive her for her siding with his parents. It worries me because they two of them have history and were close enough that he wanted to mate her five years ago. But I’m scared of pointing that out to him.So far, ever since I’ve met Adam and mated him, I’ve brought one problem after the other to his doorstep. I want to become someone he can lean on, not someone he constantly has to save. I’m not a damsel in distress but it seems I’ve been forced into that role.I sit across the couch from the two of them as they talk amongst themselves. I
