Bryce's POV:

When I get to my room I grab my cell phone. I flip through my contacts and call my dad. It rings twice then I hear him answer. "What's up Bryce. I'm in the middle of my mission." He says. My dad works for this secret agency. I have no idea what he does, but he's never home and he always leaves us and mom.

"Sorry to bother you dad, but I wanted to tell you I found my mate." I hear my dad tell his co workers to give him a minute.

"Son that's awesome, I'm so happy for you." I can tell he means it. Although he is never here he truly cares about his family. He works all the time because mom has this incurable disease and he is trying to make money to help keep her alive.

"Thanks, I was happy too. Until Trent banned me from seeing her. To make it worse, she thinks Trent is her mate. It's not possible for someone to have two mates, right? Dad I need help there is nothing I can do." I hear my dad growl in the background.

"Your brother is a dumb ass. I can't believe he would do this to his own brother." He pauses a takes a deep breath. "I don't think it's possible to have two mates, so you are sure she is your mate right?"

"Yes dad I'm sure." I say.

"Alright, what's her name then son." He says. I let out a sigh of relief. Leave it to dad to fix the problem.

"Her name is Kari Brewer. She's beautiful and sweet dad, you would love her." I say. But I hear no reply. "Uh, dad are you there?" I ask him. It takes a few moments but he finally answers me.

"Kari Brewer huh. Um... You know I think I'm just going to come home. Maybe I should deal with this in person..." He says. That's really weird.

"Dad you don't have to stop working to come handle this, I just need you to talk some sense into Trent." I say. I hear him let out a low growl.

"I'm coming home. I will see you in a week." He hangs up the phone without saying another word. I sigh. Well that's great, now I made dad stop his work. Oh well, at least this will all be settled when he gets home. I put my phone back onto my nightstand and lie on my bed. Honestly why can't things just be simple for once in my life.

Kari's POV:

Evie and I walk into her new room. She squeals and runs around in circles. "This place is so nice! I love it here Kari!" She jumps on her princess style bed and then flops down. "You think we can stay here forever?" She asks.

"I hope so Evie. Trent is the alpha of the pack so he will be able to protect us." I say proudly and I walk over to her bed. She sighs.

"Good, because I'm done with moving. I want to stay here forever." She adds. I flop down next to her and we stare at her ceiling together. "I'm hungry..." She complains as her belly rumbles. I laugh.

"I will go make you some dinner. What do you want?" I ask her and begin to sit up from the bed.

"I will eat anything." She say. I kiss her on the forehead and get out of her room. I shut her door behind me. As I walk to head to the kitchen I realize I have no idea where to go... Crap.

I hear a door open and I look up. I see Bryce looking at me and I sigh in relief. I walk over to him but he stiffens. Weird? "Um, Bryce I have no idea how to get to the kitchen. Can you show me please." He just stares at me for a moment. So I give him my puppy dog look. He tries to hold down his smile, but he soon bursts out laughing.

"Kari don't make that face every again, it's too funny." He finishes up laughing. I smile, his laughter is a nice melody. "Yeah I can show you were the kitchen is, why are you hungry?" He asks and starts to walk down the hall with big strides. My legs are so short compared to his I have to struggles to keep up.

"No Evie is the hungry one." I say. He keeps walking fast, "Geez think you could slow down a little!" I screech as I try to keep up. He laughs and slows down his pace and looks at me.

"My bad I'm not used to having little people follow me around." He says and pats me on the head. I feel tinkles shoot trough my body from where Bryce touched me. Why does that keep happening? I shake it off and frown at him.

"I am not a little person. I'm 5'2", that's about average for a girl." I huff. He laughs again. I glare at him and say, "you're just jealous because you're a giant." I stick my tongue out at him.

He lifts up one eyebrow and stares at me. "I personally like being tall. You have a problem with my height shorty?" I laugh at his new nickname for me. I look at him again and realize how much I actually enjoy the fact that he's a lot bigger than me. So I shrug.

"I don't personally have a problem with it. I guess it's kinda nice actually." I say and continue to follow him to the kitchen area. He laughs.

"Kari you're something special, you know that?" He asks. My heart begins to race ad my wolf glows at the fact that Bryce just called us special. I decide to shake it off again, I don't know why my wolf is being such a hussy but she needs to stop. We only have one mate! Get used to it!

"Oh I know." I smirk at him. He shakes his head with a smile on his face. We make it into the kitchen.

"So what is it the little princess wants to eat?" He asks. I shrug my shoulders and walk over to the fridge and open it.

"She said she would eat anything." I say. I feel Bryce hover over me and look into the fridge. I look at him and raise an eyebrow. Surprisingly I love the fact that he is this close to me right now. That shouldn't happen when my mate is just upstairs!

"How about you go sit down and I will make you both something to eat." He says. His face is so close to mine, all I have to do is lean up and our lips will touch. Stop! Kari focus girl, do you remember Trent? I sigh and duck underneath him and go sit at a high stool on the island.

"What are you going to make us?" I ask. He shrugs and pulls out some elbow pasta, different cheeses, bread, butter, and some seasonings. I raise and eyebrow. After examining the ingredients for a little while I shout, "Your making Mac and Cheese, aren't you!" He laughs.

"You got me. It's my specialty." He says and winks at me. My heart flutters from that wink and I smile at him. Then I feel someone else come into the room.

"Bryce are you in there? We decided on just watching a movie here!" A familiar female voice says. Two seconds later Macy walks into the room and stops in her tracks. She looks between me and Bryce a couple of times and locks eyes with me. "Kari! Uh what are you doing here?" She asks me. I flush red. I had no idea Macy was a werewolf!

"Uh, yeah I live here now..." I smile lightly. Her jaw drops.

"No way! You're a werewolf? Kari that's so awesome! You want to watch the movie with us tonight?" She asks me. Before I have the chance to answer she sniffs the air and looks at Bryce, "Are you making your famous Mac and Cheese?" She says. He nods his head and her jaw drops. "You never make food anymore!" She looks at me real fast then back at Bryce and raises an eyebrow. "Oh I see what this is about." I look at her with wide eyes.

"No, no, no!" I shout. She looks at me with confusion in her eyes. I let out a breath, "Bryce is making the Mac and Cheese for my little sister. You see Trent is my mate, and I don't know my way around here yet so Bryce is helping me out." She stares at me wide eyes for a second. Then she smiles greatly. I see Bryce lower his head and focus back on making the food.

"No way! Kari you're just full of surprises today, come to the movie room with Trent today at 8 and we can tell everyone you're part of the pack now!" Everyone? Wait so our whole group is full of werewolves! That's so cool. She smiles and waves, "I will see you then Kari! Later Bryce!"

I wave at her, "Bye Macy!" She leaves the room, and silence replaces her. Well this is awkward... I look up at Bryce, "Thanks for making Evie food."

He looks up with a small smile, "It's no problem, I love the kid already." He says. I smile at him and laugh.

"She is cute isn't she, everyone that meets her loves her." I say. I love my sister, I don't know what I would do without her. Just then the smell of the Mac and Cheese hits my nose. I close my eyes and take in the smell. I moan at its delicious scent, I guess I was hungrier than I thought. "Damn, your Mac and Cheese smells so good. You did make a little extra for me right..." I say and look at him with pleading eyes.

He laughs, "Yes Kari, I made sure there was enough for you." I let out a huge sigh of relief.

"Thank god, I'm starving." I say to him. He laughs at me and pulls something out of the oven. I lean over the counter and say, "what's that?"

He puts the sheet on top of the oven and I see pieces of bread. "I made some garlic bread, I like it with Mac and Cheese sometimes. Do you not like it?" He asks. I stare at it and I swear I was drooling. "I take you do like garlic bread then." He laughs. I gain my composure and sit up straight and look away from the food.

"Um... Is it almost done?" I ask. I hear the sound of Tupperware hitting the surface in front of me. I look down and see a bowl of Mac and Cheese. I smile widely and dig in.

Oh my god! This is the best thing I have ever tasted. "Bryce this is so good! I'm legit in love with it, you better make this again for me at some point!" I say through a full mouth.

He raises an eye brow at me and says, "I will have to think about it, but hasn't anyone ever taught you to not talk with your mouth full." I swallow my bite and stick my tongue out at him. He laughs and fills another bowl with the food and puts a piece of bread in the bowl. "Lets bring this to Evie now, I'm sure she is starving." He tells me. He begins to head out of the kitchen and I follow him desperately with my bowl of food, since I don't know how to get back to my room.

"So you're going to watch the movie tonight with everyone right?" I ask him. For some reason I'm really hoping he says yes. He seems to be having a conflict with himself. He finally shrugs.

"I might. Depends on the movie." We continue walking toward Evie's room. And I look up at him.

"You should come, it will be funny for the rest of them to realize that I'm a werewolf too." He smiles and nods his head.

"True, okay I will come." He says. We finally make it to Evie's door. "Well here we are, I will give her the food and then I will go." I nod and he opens the door. I gasp at what I see.

Evie is laying on the floor passed out and her arm is gushing blood. I drop my bowl and run over to her. "Evie, Evie wake up!" I shake her but she doesn't move. Bryce comes rushing to my side.

"We need to stop the bleeding, she probably passed out from the loss of blood." I hold her arm up and notice the huge cut running down the side of it. I cry out and hug her arm close to me trying to stop the bleeding. "I will grab cloth to tie around her arm then we can get her to the pack doctor." He says soothingly, trying to calm my state of mind.

I close my eyes eyes and pray for her to get better. "Evie please wake up." I whisper.

"Kari! What's going on!" Bryce shouts. I open my eyes and see a bright glowing green light surrounding my hands. Bryce runs to my side. As soon as the glowing stops I look down.

"Holy shit." He says.

I stare wide eyed at Evie's arm. It's mostly healed and no longer bleeding. I hear a small moan and Evie's eyes open. "Kari? Is that you?" She asks.

I hug her, "It's me, Evie what happened?" I ask worriedly and pull back to look at her. She blinks a few times and think for a little bit.

"The last thing I can remember is jumping off of the bed, I felt a sharp pain down my arm... That's all I can remember... I'm sorry Kari." I hug her tightly.

"It's fine Evie. Don't worry you're okay now. Here come lie down in bed and rest." I help her up to stand. She tries walking for a little bit but she falls. Before she hits the ground Bryce catches her and carries her over to the bed. I take down the covers so that Bryce can place her in the sheets. Once she's in bed I tuck her in and kiss her head. "Go to sleep, I will come check on you throughout the night okay?" I say. She nods and slowly drifts off into sleep. I look at her sadly then grab Bryce's hand, ignoring the sparks I drag him into the hallway and out of Evie's room.

When we get out into the hall I release his hand and hug him. He hugs me back but only for a moment then takes me off of him and looks into my eyes, "Kari, what was that in there?" He asks. I wipe my eyes from my tears.

"I don't know... That's never happened before. How did it just heal and stop bleeding like that?" I ask him. He runs his hand through his hair.

"Maybe we should take both of you to the pack doctor and talk to her about this." He says. I let out a sigh and wiped my eyes one more time.

"No it's fine. Let's just not talk about it again, okay?" Thinking about it, mom used to mention that she had some form of power, but I thought she just made those stories up to keep me entertained as a kid. Maybe she literally meant she had a power... Did I inherit it?

Bryce nods his head, "Well I'm going to take a nap after that... You should probably take one too." He says. He starts to turn to walk away. My wolf whimpers at the fact that he's leaving. In complete instinct I reach my hand out and grab his hand, stoping him from moving away any further. He turn to look at me. I blush bright red and slowly release his hand.

"I'm so sorry... I don't know what came over me." He seems to be in conflict with himself. Suddenly he looks away and walks to his room without saying another word. My wolf whimpers and pleads for me to go after him. But I can't, he's not my mate and my wolf should know that. After the feeling of disappointment washes away, I put on my big girl face and head to the hallway bathroom to grab towels to clean up Evie's floor.

I grab two towels and wet one of them. I carry them both back to Evie's room. I slowly open up the door and sneak quietly into her room. I clean up the mess and make very little noise so I don't wake Evie up. After I'm done I search her room for the cause of the mess. I see that someone left a box cutter on the edge of Evie's bed. The stuff in her room looks new so whoever set her room up must have left it here. I grab that and then I take the towels and head back to mine and Trent's room.

When I enter I see Trent sitting on the bed watching tv. There seems to be a faded smell of something but I ignore it and place the towels in the bathroom laundry and the box cutter on my wardrobe. Then I crawl into the bed with him.

He turns from his show and looks at me, "Where have you been?" He asks me casually. I shrug.

"I've been learning my way around. Macy invited us to watch a movie with the group later at 8, are you okay with that?" I ask him nicely. He thinks for a moment then nods in approval.

"Yeah that's fine." I smile then yawn.

"Do you mind if I nap? I'm tired and need a little sleep before the movie." I ask him. He smiles and lifts his arm giving me room to cuddle on his chest. "Wake me up at 7?" I ask him nicely.

"Of course babe." He says. I curl up against him and inhale his scent. The strangest thing happens though, his scent is different. It's no longer a masculine coconut mix, it's more of a woodsy citrus smell. I wrinkle my nose. He probably used cologne tonight or something. I like his natural scent better. In the next few minutes I'm asleep, glad the crazy events from earlier are over.
