I sat myself down at the dinner table and my belly rumbled as I stared at the large bowl of cheesy pasta sitting in front of me. I practically drooled as I picked up my fork and began eating. I was starved despite having eaten all afternoon back at Lila's cabin.

Nothing beat Jenny's cooking. She was better than Ezra and I combined.

"Good, sweetheart?" Jenny asked me as she began eating too. I nodded my head eagerly at her as continued shovelling food into my mouth like an absolute animal.

I was part wolf after all.

I ate quickly with Jenny. Ezra wasn't here. He apparently had some patrolling business to do with other wolves, which left Jenny and I together whilst he was gone.

"Who's Veronica?" I asked through a mouthful of mouth. I was curious to find out who this female was. All I found out today from Lila and Liam was that they were potential bond mates before I came along.

I wanted to know more about her. I wanted to know if I could kick her ass. I wanted her to stay the hell away from my male.

As much as I hated to admit it, I was starting to feel incredibly pulled towards Liam already.

Jenny looked up at me and smirked. She put down her fork and stared at me intensely before sighing. "I'm assuming you've heard about her then."

I nodded at her and she sighed yet again. Clearly she didn't like this girl either. Good. I didn't want anyone liking her.

"She's Henry's daughter. Absolute snob. Not many like her. But, before you came along, she was Liam's potential bond mate," Jenny explained to me. She paused as I clenched my fists in jealousy. I hated the already.

A potential bond mate was always like a plan B for those wolves that never found their true mates. Some wolves would spend most their lives looking for their mates and never find anything. So they'd settle down with a potential bond mate instead.

Potential bond mates always had a pull just like true mates did. But it wasn't nearly as strong. My brother had one a while ago, and he told me about how real it felt. It was almost as if you had met your true mate.

"She's been quite obsessed with Liam for years now. But he's always remained loyal to the mate that he hadn't met yet. Now, he's got you and I'm sure that Veronica is absolutely pissed," Jenny said as she began to eat again. I curled my toes underneath the table and breathed in deeply.

My wolf growled at the thought of this female being obsessed with our male. We barely knew him but we were already jealous of any girl that spoke to him. He was ours. We didn't want to share.

I felt shocked by the way I was thinking.

I was acting as if there were something huge between Liam and I. Like there was an honest need for me to put up a defensive wall in order to keep people away from Liam. Why? Why did I feel like that?

"It's okay to be jealous, sweetheart. But Liam is good. He'll always be loyal to you and only you," Jenny told me gently. She seemed to sense my confusion.

I was damn right out of my mind. Why in the hell was I obsessing over my own male like I wasn't scared shitless of the relationship in itself? I was so scared of the bond. It was so strong already and I made me feel so powerful yet so weak at the same time.
