Chapter 4
I followed Kai back to the headquarters. It was where his Pack was situated.
His home.

Turned out that the men I saw sitting on logs of woods and eating were his sentries. Before we started the journey, Kai had exchanged a few, curt words with them.
I had no idea what they spoke about, but the men had glanced at me in surprise. They said nothing though, and as we all made the journey home, my mind whirled with thoughts.
Kai Thornefall was my mate.
If the scent hadn’t hit me when he asked me to sniff, I would not have believed him.
But he was my mate, and my wolf was purring from the revelation.
I took a deep breath and decided to have a short conversation with her.
“Can we trust this guy?” I asked.
She snorted at my question. “Of course. He is your mate, Daisy. And mates are always loyal. Especially considering the fact that he is a Lycan.”
“But I haven’t accepted or activated the mate bond yet. How do know he’s not contacting our Pack right now and selling us out?” I insisted.
I could feel my wolf’s exasperation as she responded.
“He’s not. You heard him, he needs you to deal with Lucas’s father, and you need him to get rid of that slime ball for you. Is that not so?”
Her words made sense, but still, I hesitated.
“But…”
“No buts, Daisy. Kai is good people. And he’s your mate. You should be lucky that you found him,” she concluded.
My wolf severed the mind link between us, effectively ending the conversation, and I sighed slightly.
I suppose she was right.
Kai suddenly stopped walking and reached out for my hand. My hand slid into his perfectly, like it was made for that participation gesture.
My heart rate quickened at the touch, but if Kai was as rattled as was at the contact, he wasn’t showing it.
“Welcome to your new home, Princess,” he drawled softly.
‘I looked up, and my eyes settled on a large, seemingly unending wall. It was a fence, and from where we stood, I could see a
mansion rising high above other buildings.
Even from where I stood, the mansion, everything looked beauul. Cozy.
It looked nothing like my Pack.
My breathe got caught in my throat.

“It’s so…large,” I managed to say. Kai laughed at the expression of awe on my face, and he pulled me forward.
Other sentries stood in front of a large gate, probably the main entrance, and they saluted us

as we walked past.
Kai gave me an informal tour as we walked in, listing out which Building was which. I half listened to him, my attention split into two as I looked at the people instead.
We were almost at the mansion I saw earlier when a girl stopped before us, halting our movements.
“Hi there.”
The girl wore a long floral dress that trailed behind her. Her hair hung down her shoulders in curls and her eyes were a kaleidoscope of colors. From one angle, it looked green, from another, it was brown.
“I’m Scarlett, Kai’s cousin,” she smiled softly as she stared at me. What’s your name?”
She didn’t even look at Kia as she spoke.
I glanced at him, unsure if I should answer or not. There was a small smile on his face, so I took it as a good sign.
“Daisy, my name is Daisy.”
“It’s a pleasure to meet you. You are so beautiful,” she gushed, and I blushed heavily at the compliment.
“Get out of the way and stop bothering us, Scar. My Mate need to rest,” he quipped.
She rolled her eyes at him, clucking her tongue before turning back to face me.
“I am so glad that you are here. The entire Pack has kind of been holding their breath on the whole Mate thing,” she stated, and a part of me wondered why she didn’t look cautious at all.
I suddenly felt defensive.
“I’m sorry but, you don’t even know if I have a hidden agenda for being here or something,” I stated, and my voice came out sharper than intended.
Kai chuckled at my words but said nothing, and Scarlett grinned at me.
“You’re so feisty. You and I are going to be such great friends,” she gushed, waving my words away like they meant nothing.
I frowned at her.
She was acting as though we’ve known each other for years. Someone sensible would have been suspicious of me, but she seemed perfectly at ease.
It was very out of character for a stranger, and for a Lycan.
I’d never met one up close, but I heard they’re the most guarded species. They never let people in–ever.
“Careful. I could be a spy,” I snapped.
Scarlett laughed.
“You’re not a threat to me. And you’re Kai’s mate. He wouldn’t have brought you home if you were going to do anything dangerous. I trust him, and in extension, I trust you. You’re one us,” she stated simply.
I sighed. There was no point in carrying on with the conversatio
“Nice to meet you, Scarlett,” I eventually said.

She winked at me and Kai eventually spoke.
“Go bother someone else. She needs to rest,” he ordered.
Scarlett patted me on the shoulder. “See you around, Flower girl and walked away.
I shook my head at her retreating figure.
“Are you always that defensive?” Kai asked as he led me into the mansion.
I shrugged. “I am a stranger.”
“You are my mate,” he countered.
