She was humming as she cleared her own small plate.
“Can you sing?” I asked as soon as I thought about it
“Um….Im-cmn-kmninda-msimg-wym?” She said with a mouthful of pancake, “I can kinda sing, I don’t really sing for people though-why?” She said as soon as she had swallowed her food.
“Just wondering-would you sing for me maybe?” I asked hopeful
“UH..I don’t really, I mean um…sure I guess.” She said softly, almost whispering
“Great!!!” I said jumping up and grabbing her hand, pulling her towards the living room.
“Wha-?” I pulled her down onto the coach and joined her
“Sing something for me.”
“OK-Okay.” She swallowed, thought a minute and began.
Don’t tell me-what to think,
‘Cause I don’t care this time.
Don’t tell me-what to believe,
‘cause you wont be-there,
To catch me when I fall,
But you need me when Im not here at all,
Miss me when I’m gone,
Ohhowo yehhhahh
I’m go-ing down in flames,
I’m falling into this ahh-gain
Ohhhowo

“Wow, your really good.” I said as she blushed and looked away.
“Thanks.”
“I didn’t peg you as a rock kinda girl.” I said, surprised
“yah well, I listen to a lot of different music but rock is my favorite.” She sat up and leaned closer unconsciously.
“mhmm me too.” I sat up and she leaned away. I raised my eyebrow, this all seemed familiar, hadn’t we just gone through this last night? I leaned forward and her eyes grew wide, gosh I love teasing her. She blushed and looked away.
“So um what do you wanna do?” She asked shifting farther away from me, of that’s even possible. I chuckled and crawled over to her. She stiffened and looked up, eyes glazed over.
“I don’t think you want to know what I want to do right now.” I heard my wolf say before I took over again.
“Uh….I..I…” She stammered. I could smell her excitement and fear. I lowered my head down to her neck and nuzzled my nose in, inhaling all of her entrancing sent. She gasped and I smiled against her skin. I ran my teeth against her skin which caused her to shiver. The fact that I could get that kind of reaction out of her caused my wolf to go crazy. I got up and walked away from her acting as if nothing had happened. I knew this would get her wolf excited and sure enough when I turned back her eyes were tented gold. I waked over and took her hand.
“Common lets go back to the pack.” I said pulling her up off the couch. Her eyes turned back to their normal color but she was still a little dazed.
“Okay.” She said getting up and walking towards the door she swayed her hands at her side, looking around like an innocent child but I wasn’t fooled, she was up to something.
~Karma’s POV~
I ran to our room and got my pants, I slipped them under Cam’s shirt. Wow look at that I was already thinking of this as OUR room, gosh. I walked and met Camden at the door.
“Ready?” He asked handing me a jacket
“Yeh, who’s is this? Is it yours?” I slipped on the black and red jacket
“Yep its one of my old ones, it may be a little small for me so I thought it might fit you.” We walked out into the forest and started on our way back.
“So…. Um can werewolves do anything special? Like can they do tricks and stuff?” I asked after about ten minutes of awkward silence
“Um not really tricks but some of us are born with gifts.”
“oh, do you have any…gifts?” I asked
“Yeh I um, I actually have four. I can read people’s minds-if I want to, I can move objects with my mind-but only if I concentrate, I can control nature, again if I concentrate and I also can know things about people when I meet them, even before they tell me their name,” he sighed, “Because I have so many though I have those limitations.”
“Wow, wait so one, you can read my mind, and two you already new stuff about me before I told you?” I stopped walking and put my hand on my hip, “How come you couldn’t tell I was a were if you could already know stuff about me? And you could read my mind?”
“Well um, its hard to explain. I can know all of the general info without knowing it, it just happens. But if I wanted to know more personal info, I would have to think about it. And if I wanted to read your mind, it is much easier to get general info like emotions and thoughts that pop into your head at that moment.” He let out a long breath.
“Wow that is so cool!” I said jumping up and down, “What am I thinking right now?” I though really hard trying to send it to him.
“Okay first of all don’t try so hard,” He said rubbing his head, “It’s like you are yelling in my ear. And also you were thinking about you brother Song’s music auditions and that you like my laugh.” He smirked and I felt the blood rush to my cheeks.
“I…was not!! I mean I was thinking about Song and his auditions but I…I wasn’t…grrr.”
I stomped off ahead of him, and he laughed at me. I did love his laugh. It sounded like the Christmas bells ringing. I felt a sudden warm breath on my ear that made me jump and two strong arms wrapped around me keeping me in place.
“Really? That’s sweat, your laugh sounds like the first morning of spring to me.” I melted at the sound of his voice, how does he get me to react this way? I have never been the one to bend to the will of boys.
It’s because he is our mate
Our what?
Mate-he is our soul mate, our second half, ours and only ours.
How do you know? What if I take a chance with him and I get hurt? Like Eliz?
I told you Eliz was a fool
But how do you know?
“She is the wolf in you and sometimes you have to trust your wolf even if you don’t know her motive.” Camden’s voice broke me out of my trance.
“I…uh, you heard that?” I asked quietly
“Yeh and don’t be embarrassed because when a wolf finds their mates, they know. It is a bond that you can’t separate or explain. To tell you the truth my wolf has been telling me that we are mates since the day I saw you.” He said into my ear.
“But how do we-?”
“We just try and trust each other, I promise you can trust me.” He sighed and took a long whiff of my hair.
“Well I have to think about it.” I said slowly. Being new at this didn’t make the decision any easier.
“Karma?” Camden looked up shyly
“Yes Cam?”
“Who’s Eliz?” He asked cautiously. I stiffened at that name and hid under curtain of hair.
“He is my Ex boyfriend why?” I asked, knowing and loathing why he knew.
“Common karma, you know why. What did he do to you? You can tell me.” He ran his hand through his hair.


“He was so sweat when I met him. We were in eighth grade and he was the most popular boy in our school. I went to a public school back then, outside of the kingdom. No one knew who I was so its not like they were mean to me because of that but, they were still mean to me. I had one friend, a boy named Jase. He tried out for football and made it. After he made it I was so excited for him. I came to his games and cheered him on, but he stopped hanging out with me as much. Every week I would see him less and less. One day I called him because he said that he wanted to talk. He said that he didn’t want to be friends any more because I was holding him back. I didn’t even get to say good bye because he hung up so fast,” I sighed and continued, “We graduated and moved to High school. It was so much worse, I went to a typical American high school. There were cheerleaders and jocks, geeks and nerds, and everyone in between. I was in the middle, I knew people, people knew me but I wasn’t popular. I fit in with the druggies for a while but my father wouldn’t have that, threatened to take me out. I don’t know why I didn’t want to be privately schooled but I just didn’t. So I separated myself from the druggies, got my own small space in the library. I read everyday, alone. One day Eliz came in and sat across from me. I rolled my eyes and waited for the comments. They never came. I didn’t know that well and I began to doubt his mean rep. He sat there for half a week and then one day while, he didn’t come. Which oddly enough made me worry. He came the next day while I was working on an art project and sat on the same couch as me. ‘wow your really good’ he said. I was surprised but thanked him and we continued to talk. He listened to similar music as me, liked art and nature like me, and could play the drums. I thought he was so cool. Every week we got closer. We played twenty questions, studied and even hung out after school. He asked me out and I was so far in that I didn’t even hesitate. We hung out, every day. I spent less time with my family, went to parties, met more people and for once was popular. He got me to drink, smoke, cuss, and a lot more that I am assumed to say that I did. He even almost got my virginity. Thank God my brother found out. Eliz broke up with me when I told him I wanted to save myself for the one I loved. He called me names, ruined my rep, and told me that the only reason he dated me was because his friends dared him to date a freak. I should have seen it coming, and that’s the thing that bothers me most.” I finished and we were almost to the pack.
“Karma I’m sorry. I would never…I swear, I can’t believe someone would do that.” He sighed and shook his head. “Um you, you said you were gonna wait to give yourself to the one you love right?”
“Yeh why?” We walked closer to the camp
“Um well, did you, do you still, are you….”He sighed irritated and I giggled
“Yes Camden I am still a virgin” I laughed at the way his face lit up
“good.” His voice was giddy and joyful
