I still held Ame in my arms and she never stopped shivering. Sam's boys both seemed very calm almost as if this is a normal occurrence. I set Amelia down in front of me and looked her in the eyes."What happened?" A puddle formed around her feet as the snow on her bright pink boots melted where she stood."I saw a big wolf. It wanted to bite me, mom." She sniffled as she began to cry.I pulled her in for a hug. Wolves were common in Alaska I knew that much."Were you watching them?" I questioned Sam. I didn't want to point fingers."I stepped inside to grab them some snacks I was gone for less than two minutes when I heard her scream.""Did you see it?"She nodded and averted her gaze. She looked like she knew more than she was letting on."Why do you have that look on your face Samantha?" She was supposed to be my friend. I trusted her to look after my daughter and now she's keeping secrets. I was five seconds away from gettin

Kat's POV He just turned into a wolf. Shaw just shifted into a fucking wolf! I feel like my eyes might fall out of my skull. I looked at the dark brown bear sized wolf and instinctively took a step back. For lack of a better word this is obviously a surprise, a shock or any other word that means I was not aware my boyfriend could shape shift into an apex predator. "So, this is the big secret huh?" I try to keep my voice even and calm even though I feel like I could literally drop dead any moment from the shock alone. "Did you choose to be this way?" Can he understand me? He moved his big head side to side signaling a no. I nodded my head and tried to find some part of him that was familiar, and despite everything you hear in movies I looked this wolf right in the eyes. His honey brown eyes looked back at me glowing bright with moonlight. It was then that I recognized him. I knew those eyes and right now I recognized fear within them.

Kat's POV I get up on my knees before him on the bed. Slowly and delicately I lift his shirt exposing his lower abdomen before lifting the shirt over and off his frame. Looking into his golden eyes one last time I lean forward and kiss him right above his jeans. I unbutton them and slowly push them down his legs and he steps out of them. I beckon him forward onto the king sized bed along with me. He follows my silent instructions without hesitation. He looks intimidating in all his glory. His firm chest flexed with each movement and I found myself under his spell. Even on his knees he was tall, too tall for what I need of him now. I push him backwards with my hands on his shoulders. Again he follows my silent command obediently. With his back flat against the bed I climb over him and kiss him deeply on the lips before making my way down to his chest and then his abdomen. The rippling muscles of his abdomen are firm against my lips and I lick the ridges seductively. His huge hand crad

Kat's POV It had been a week since the attack and Shaw has been on edge for the last few days. He was confused about who would hire some random pack to attack us, and he had been trying to get to the bottom of it. His new routine consisted of...well I wasn't quite sure. He always came home freshly showered after being at the den all day long. He still slept beside me every night but I missed having breakfast and dinner with him everyday, but his peculiar work schedule has made that nearly impossible. Poor Amelia has been asking for him all week and I made his excuses to her telling her he was busy at his job, but being three years old that only meant so much to her. Today is the ice fishing competition and Shaw said he would be here to pick us up around noon so we could go as a family. However at noon Jason knocked on my door making excuses for Shaw which had become the norm. "Where's Shaw?" I cross my arms in irritation. "He's caught up right now. He'll be done soon but come on Sa

Kat's POV "Yes, it's me. How are you? I'm so glad you answered. Your mother must have told you I've been trying to reach you." He sounded as prim and proper as ever. Ugh I rolled my eyes. "Uh, fine. I don't understand why you would want to talk to me, we haven't spoken in years." "Come on Katty don't be like that." I sit on the couch with my elbows on my knees. This day couldn't get any worse. I wasn't even sure why I was still on the phone with this guy. My stomach was in my ass because I already knew Amelia will be brought up. "Stop calling me that it feels much too personal and we're practically strangers after all." Petty? Maybe, but I stand behind it. "Listen, I know the way things ended between us was less than ideal but I'd like to see Amelia." "Why would you want to see MY daughter William, I don't understand." He let out an exasperated sigh on the other end of the phone. "She's my daughter too, Katherine." I took a deep breath and laughed right into the phone. I l
