I was still processing the idea of having a mate the next day when the phone rang.

"Kade Reith of the potent pack," I said gruffly.
"Cameron Lynch," the voice said, making me straighten up.
"Why have you called?" I asked.
"What have you decided about our deal?" He asked.
"I was thinking," I said, getting interrupted.
"Which is never a good sign," Cameron interrupted.
"Instead of opening the cafe or something of the sort why not build an orphanage?" I asked.
"And what good will that be?" He asked.
"Lots of children will have a home," I said.
"That's not a good idea," he said bluntly.
"Why not?" I argued.
"You don't want to build up enemies do you?" He asked.
"But why would I be building enemies?" I asked.
"Do you really think children would tell you which pack they belong to? That's a very bad idea," he said.
"But I still think it's good," I said.
"Why the hell are you arguing with me?" He growled.

That made me pause and actually think. Why the hell was I arguing with a Slayer? The head Slayer of all times?

"Sorry I am just not feeling good," I sighed.
"Well don't take out your bad mood on me," Cameron snapped.
"Sorry. I need money for the cafe," I said.
"How much?" He asked.
"I will make up the payment and email it to you," I said.
"I need you to work something out for me," he said.

I knew there must be a reason for him to call me. He wasn't simply calling for the deal.

"What is it?" I asked.
"There's something going on in the northern areas," Cameron said.
"What?" I asked.
"We don't know that yet. But people have been mysteriously disappearing," he said.
"People don't just disappear. That's ridiculous," I scoffed.
"There has been no sign of killings or murders," he said.
"Oh come on. It must have been nothing," I said.
"People don't just disappear. Are you going to do the work or not?" He growled.
"Ok ok. Geez. You don't need to growl everytime," I said.
"Mind your tone!" He snapped.
"Ok fine. I will do it," I said.

With that the call ended and I stared at the phone in my hand. He didn't even say goodbye. How rude. Shaking my head I resumed my work. I was reading a report by one of the packs when my phone rang.

"What?" I snapped irritated.
"Kade it's me."

My eyes widened as Damien started yipping inside my head. It was Paisley.

"What do you want?" I asked.
"You," was her answer.
"Don't play games with me," I said.
"I want to move to your pack," Paisley said.
"Why?" I asked, relaxing in my chair.
"Duh I am your mate. I have a right to be there," she scoffed.
"You do know that I haven't accepted you nor rejected you," I warned.
"What's there to reject about me?" She asked.

Attitude and bossiness, I thought.

"What does your dad say about this?" I asked.
"Oh he will agree to whatever I wish," she said.

Spoilt brat, I thought.

"Well then I will talk to your dad first and then decide whether you will come here or not," I said.

With that I hung up the phone and stared out of the window. In the distance I could see Zoey playing with the kids and couldn't help smiling. She was getring along really well with the pack members. And they all seemed to like her. If I wanted Paisley to come here I needed to tell them about her. They needed to accept her first for me to actually accept her as my mate.

Gather in the backyard everyone. There will be a meeting in about 15 minutes, I mindlinked the pack.

When I first got the title as Alpha at the age of fifteen it was the worst thing for me. Raising Julia up and working as Alpha eas not easy for only me to handle. But I did and I think I did a pretty good job of both of them. I know my parents would be proud. Atleast my mom would be. If she was here.
