curvy, but she is still a nobody. And if I have anything to say about it, she will remain a nobody. There simply isn’t room for anyone new, and I’m going to make damn sure that there is no place for her.
    “Earth to Kendall. Do you read me Kendall?” Sammy shouted as he waved his hand back and forth in front of my face.
    “What? Get your paw out of my face. I was just thinking.”
    “About what? Cade? Where is he anyway?” Shari asked.
    Good question. Where was Cade? I didn’t know how to answer that without admitting that Cade hadn’t told me what he was up to tonight. We were supposed to be inseparable, supposed to tell each other everything, but the truth was that he’s been acting weird all day, and things have just been, well… awkward.
    “He had some stuff to do. And it’s not really any of your business.” I turned away from Shari and looked over at Aiden, who was laughing at something one of the guys must have said. Aiden was definitely hot, but not really my type. Being that I have been surrounded by weres my whole life, just another pretty face doesn’t really do it for me. When he caught me staring, I ended up blurting out, “So Aiden, how are you liking it here?”
    Aiden ran his hand through his hair before he answered, “It’s okay so far. I mean, we just got here, so there’s a lot to get used to, but I think I’m going to like it.”
    “I think you’re going to like it too. You and my boyfriend, Cade, will probably be good friends. He’s going to be our next alpha, you know.”
    Out of nowhere, Becca interrupts and says, “And Kendall here is just dying to get her hands on Cade’s alpha ring.”
    I rolled my eyes at Becca, ignoring her jealous remark, and turned to talk to Aiden again. “You and Cade even kind of look alike,” I said suddenly realizing just how true the statement really was. Cade and Aiden did kind of resemble each other, in a weird way. Maybe it’s just their green eyes. Dark features were the norm in any pack, but every once in a while, you come across a were with light eyes. It was uncommon, but not nearly as rare as blonde hair, like Allison Wright’s. Now that was something I had never seen. She probably thinks she’s oh-so-special with her perfectly-golden locks.
    I walked off to get another beer when I caught a scent of something unfamiliar in the air. My nose was leading me off toward the tree line when I heard Sammy’s voice calling, “Hey, Kendall, what’s up?”
    “What are you? My mom? Just give me minute.” I hoped he would think that I just needed to pee and leave me alone. I knew I didn’t have to go far. The scent was getting stronger. After a few steps into the trees, I saw him. Piercing, blue eyes of a wolf I had never seen before peeked out from behind a huge boulder. Our eyes connected, but he didn’t move and neither did I. We just stood there… staring. Whether this wolf was dangerous or not, I didn’t know, but for some reason, I felt like I needed to find out.
     

Chapter 9

    The further away I got from the campfire the worse I felt. At first, it came and went. A flash of nausea, a tightness in my chest, but now it was more like a tingly sensation all over my body. I swear I could actually feel the blood pumping through my veins. All I wanted to do was stop, lay down in the fetal position, and wait it out, but I needed to get to my house. I knew that if I made it home that I would at least be safely inside the confines of my room, so I pushed ahead with all the speed I could muster.
    Despite the fact that I felt like I might faint at any moment, I was almost sprinting by the time I could see our front porch in the distance. Amazingly enough, the sight of it seemed to take the edge off my nausea.
    I slowed to a walk and tried to catch my breath a bit. But that was when the serious pain started; I clutched my stomach and doubled over. Falling to my knees, I gasped for air. It was like, all at once, my heart had stopped, my
