Kaia POV Kala

Time has past considerably quickly at the Dark Phantom pack. I have been here for two weeks now and am starting to get to know the pack members slightly.

I must admit, I have gone out of my way to introduce myself to them in the hopes they will ask me what brings me to their pack. Which is the perfect opening for me to discreetly ask about Father. But nothing yet. Perhaps he didn't come here after all. Or if he did, then Alpha Hector turned him away immediately.

I am still a guest at the alpha house, I thought I would have been allocated a room at the pack house by now. But I think with the organising of the banquet it has escaped the alpha's and beta's mind to move

me.

The pack was friendlier than I had expected. I'm not entirely sure where the bad reputation of this pack has come from, it was unjustified in my opinion. Even Alpha Hector's frosty exterior was starting to thaw the longer I remain.. But I still couldn't get my head around how he couldn't seem to recognise the bond between us. It's as if he was immune to it. I He doesn't even bat an eyelid as I enter a room or when I purposely get too close to him. A sly touch here or there....his face registers no reaction to the tingles that must be erupting on his arms. Nothing.

Maybe it's my punishment in life to never feel a full mate bond.

It doesn't matter anyhow, I have my baby to protect, to grow, to love. My true second chance in life, and he or she will love me unconditionally. I them.

And

Although, Alpha Hector fascinates me. From the moment he returns from training in the moming and insists on joining me for breakfast, to hardly leaving his office all day but making sure he dines with me in the evening.

I often find myself looking too long into his grey ash eyes, or reading his lips long past him finishing his sentence. The mate bond trying to work its magic on me again. Today was my second check up with the doctor and as I exit the hospital, heading back towards the alpha house, I find the pack buzzing with excitement.

Pack members putting up lights, decorations and signs in preparation for the big pack banquet tomorrow,

Continuing on my return journey, I reach the pack hall next to the alpha house, where the main celebrations will be held tomorrow. On my journey I am nodded at, waved at and even smiled at; it has become a refreshing comparison to walking around the Amber Desert pack.

I am starting to feel slightly settled here but I knew I needed to move on soon enough.

I couldn't be too settled.

.when are you joining us for a pack run?" One of the young unmated males beckons me over to the pack house.

Chapter 0014 "Kala.... Like most I do not know his names yet, but I am trying to remember. I join him, along with a few males and females that are only a few years younger than me. All of them vibrant for what life brings, they were still hopeful of the moon goddess's matchmaking skills for them. I envied their innocent enthusiasm.

"I'm not sure yet..." I try to dance around the subject, I was still too conscious to share the news of my pregnancy. Also, I was concerned how me being a newly joined member and pregnant might look across the pack. That I was running from something or someone, and I couldn't have inquisitive minds raising concerns to their alpha. Not yet.

"You'll dance with us tomorrow right? It's tradition for males to dance with all females..."

"Says who?"

A laugh

escapes me but is cut short when the female's crossed arms are used to nudge the cheeky male wolf informing him that their alpha was watching them. They soon scurry away, heads down leaving me to walk alone towards the dangerous looking alpha male. He

like an enigma to read.

Your

has arrived..." He opens the front door to the alpha home for me, letting me step in first....past him...again no signal that my scent has affected him.

"For the banquet."

"Oh...I'm not sure if it's a good idea for me to go..."

I'm sure Alpha Hector will see it as rude and me being ungrateful for his generosity but I can't go, I can't see Than.

If he even attends.

"Nonsense, why ever not....you'll be my plus one. I'll be next to you all night." His eyes take on a playful look, an expression that instantly melts his icy exterior. I like witnessing these fleeting moments, before the wall goes back up. Perhaps if I was stuck to Hector's side all night, then Than wouldn't have the courage to approach me. Again, that's even if he decides to accept the invitation, which I highly doubt. "You'll be by my side all night?"

"I make that vow to you, I won't let you out of my sights."
