Kayla's P.O.V

After hanging up on Damien, I went home and lied on the sofa. I sighed at the eerie silence of the house, damn why couldn't anyone be home right now? Then I remembered Elena telling me that she wanted me to come over to her house. I groaned and made an effort to go upstairs to shower, so I stripped out of my clothes then got in the shower and let the warm water pour on my body.

Was it actually my fault? Kissing Cody was a mistake, no letting Cody kiss me was a mistake. Someone like me and Damien would never work, we were just the total opposite of each other, or was that the point? To make mates fall in love, they have to be the opposites? This makes me so frustrated! I was told as a little girl that if your mate loved you, he would mark you. Damien, he doesn't love me and I know that for sure marking me was a mistake and he fucking knows that!

I got out of the shower, and got dressed and put light make up on. I wonder how Elena's family will be like, kind, nice, sweet or evil. I just hoped they were all the above apart from evil. Thinking about Elena and wondering how she put up with the fact of getting pregnant and rejected, how could she forgive Alexander? I could never do that, mate or not.

I looked at the clock, 5:02. I got time, so I ate a granola bar and called Sheila to see what she's up to, I missed her, Zach and baby Liam. Dude, not now cannot bring tears to my eyes. After a few rings, I heard a familiar voice.

'Hello?'

'Hey.' I say

'Oh my gosh! Kayla!' She said getting excited, which made me laugh

'What's up? How's the trip?' I asked.

'Good, but not without you! Liam misses you, even Zach.'

'I miss you guys too, don't worry about it. Anything new?'

'Yeah! Liam said his first word! Kissy!' I winced at her screeching.

'Um...dude, that's great and all, but I don't think Kissy is a word.' I said, I felt mean bursting her bubble

'YES IT IS!' She shouted

'Okay, I'm just going to go now, because I got to go somewhere, give my love to the guys, and give a kissy to Liam for me.' I said, chuckling when I said Kissy

'Ha ha. You have to talk to me soon though, I can't handle just the boys, and it's just so mean.' She said, faking a sob.

'I promise I will, don't worry about it.' I said smiling.

'Love you, stay safe.' She said

'Don't worry, I will.' I hung up the phone and slid it in my back pocket before taking my keys and leaving the house.

Earlier on, Elena gave me her address and it turns out she only lives a street away from me. So only 10 minutes, but when I got there her house looked amazing from the outside. No white picket fence or any dog, just a nice house, a normal one and I could hear people talking inside so I stepped onto the porch and rang the doorbell, dude even her doorbell sounded family like. The door opened to reveal a guy, in his mid-20's, light brown to blonde hair and green eyes about 6'2 give or take a few inches. He had a grim expression on his face and what looked like a doll in his hand.

'Hi, um...I'm looking for Elena.' I say nervously. Could you blame me? I thought he could kill me by his looks.

'Elena, someone's hear for you!' He yelled behind him, then I heard footsteps and Elena appeared at the door with a kid in her arms.

'Kayla! You came!' She said, giving me a hug. 'Come in.' She said indicating to come inside. I went in and the first thing I sensed was honey, something I used to smell when I had a family.

'You've met my mate Xander, and this is my kid, Leila. Xander you remember me talking about Kayla?' She asked, the guy, Xander

'Oh yeah, I've heard about you, from more than Elena.' He said, narrowing his eyes at me making Elena growl at him.

'Don't worry about it, I've heard a lot worse.' I said

'It's not fair to you. Xander be nice!' She growled the last part to him. He growled lowly at her.

'Come on, you had something to eat?' She asked

'Yeah.' I said. She placed Leila down so she could play with the toys she had.

'So, see or talk to him?' She asked as we sat on the floor, Xander came and sat down next to Leila

'We had an argument, this time I was strong though. Didn't let him rule over me like he normally does.' I said.

'If you wanted to talk about your problems, go to a shrink.' Xander muttered.

'Xander, I bloody swear!' Elena almost yelled she gave me an apologetic face.

'It's alright.' I said again

'What are you doing here?' I looked up to see Damien at the doorway and a baby in his arms. I couldn't utter a word, nothing and I looked at Elena and she had a guilty expression on her face.

'What are you doing here?' He growled when I didn't answer.

'Elena's playing shrink for her.' Xander said.

'H-how...' That's all I could say. The smirk on Damien's face, fuck I would love to slap it off.

'Alexander is my cousin.' He said, what the fuck?! A looked at the baby in his arms. 'Oh him, he's my baby brother, so I haven't got anyone knocked up.' He said.

'Dammy!' Shouted Leila and ran over to him.

'Hey.' He said. He looked so adorable with the kids, fuck I had to get out of here.

'I need to go.' I said, before anyone could say anything to me, I ran out of the house. I ran for a few seconds before my arm was grabbed and I was turned to face Damien.

'Let go of me.' I said, instead of letting go, he held me tighter.

'No.' He said. I tried pulling away from him, but it didn't work the guy's grip was like steel on my arm. So I decided to kick him in his family jewels, he fell to the floor grabbing

his crotch and groaning, this gave me time to run away.

You run but you can't hide-he mind linked me as I ran further away from him

When I got home, I was breathing hard. How could I have trusted Elena?! She has always been nice to me and I thought I could have trusted her, but all this time her mate was Damien's cousin. I scoffed at myself for trusting someone other than my family. I walked upstairs and changed into shorts and left a bra on so I went downstairs, then I thought about wearing a top. I went into my room and bumped into something, or someone more like. I looked up and gasped as I saw Damien.

'How the fuck did you get in here without me knowing?' I asked him

'Such dirty words coming from that mouth.' He said inching closer to me

'Leave...Now.' I said sternly.

'No.' He said.

'Fine then I will leave.' I said, I was going to walk out of the room when Damien shouted:

'With just a bra on, must be a slut.' I growled at his choice of words. I went to him and pointed a finger to his chest

'I'm not the slut here, you the one that fucks sluts and you even marked me yet you don't love me.' I said

'Feisty, but seriously, how could I not mark you? I could fuck as much girls as I want to and it would hurt you so so badly.' He said.

'Why the fuck do you hate me so much?!' I screamed at him

'A number of things one, you're stubborn, two you let other guys kiss you when you know the soon to be alpha is your mate and lastly, you didn't do anything when your parent's were being attacked.' He said. I growled at him loudly

'How dare you! I'm only fucking stubborn because no one in this whole fucking town like me, you fuck a lot of girls yet I only kissed one guy and were you there when my parents got attacked?! Do you know how fucking scared I was, everyone blamed their death on me, everyone shunned me!' I screamed at him

'Oh boo fucking hoo! Even now all you're doing is yelling being the fucking attention seeker you are!' He yelled.

'Why the fuck are you here?! To yell at me, to make me feel worse than I already am?' I yelled

'No, I came here to do this.' I was going to ask what he meant when he leaned in and kissed me, before he could delve into the kiss I pulled away and pushed him hard.

'If you stay the fuck away from me, we would get on much better!' I shout. Damien was going to say something when I smelt a familiar scent, the front door slammed and I cursed under my breath.

'You need to go.' I whispered.

'Why? Is that your fuck buddy?' He asked me, not bothering to whisper.

'Keep your voice down!' I pulled him into my closet and locked it. It was a tight space, but we could both fit in. 'For your information, I'm still a virgin, thanks.' I said

'Lucky you then maybe I can take it away from you.' He smirked at me.

'I would never let you do that, not in a million years.' I whispered.

'Kayla?!' The voice yelled.

'Is that Cody?' Damien asked, I put my hand on his mouth and ignored the tingles. Damien pulled me closer by my waist and more sparks erupted since it was my bare skin.

'Damn.' We heard a phone beeping.

'Yeah she isn't here....okay fine...yeah she still is with me....no she doesn't know.' I was about to get out of the closet to ask, but Damien pulled me back and indicated me to be quiet.

'She knows that ass Damien is her mate....mum, you did what?!.....you kissed his father? What did the wife say?' I gaped at the conversation Cody was having and was about to say something when Damien kissed me, tongue wasting no time in exploring my mouth. He bit my lip when I didn't kiss back, so I kissed back and he moaned a little, making me smirk. I led my hands on his ass and pinched, he jumped making me laugh a little, but quietly. Damien glared at me while I smirked at him. We stood there for a while and when we heard nothing, I opened the lock and went out.

'What the fuck was he talking about?' I asked Damien when we heard no one in the house apart from us.

'You're nosey, you find out.' He said, he was about to go when I pulled him back

'Want another round of making out?' He asked

'Want me to pinch your ass again?'

'You are good at kissing, I will give you that.'

'Stop trying to change the subject and answer me, please.' I begged, he sighed

'Why should I tell you?'

'You're an Alpha and my mate?' I asked him

'Not good enough, so I will only say a little.' I scowled at him

'Easy there pup.'

'Now, a long time ago, Cody tried breaking up my family and he kissed a certain family member in hope of ruining us.' He said, I willed him to continue

'Is that it? That's all you're telling me?' I asked

'Yeah.' He said

'Can you tell me the family member?'

'Are you that stupid? Guess so, it's you we're talking about.' I rolled my eyes at him then gasped

'Your mum?!'

'Good thinking Sherlock.' He said

'What did Cody gain from that? And why on earth would his mother go kiss your father after all this time?' I asked

'Figure it out. I'm going now, the stench of you is killing me.' He said, he jogged down the stairs and opened the door

'Then why did you kiss me?' I asked

'My wolf wanted a bitch like you.' I growled at him and he growled back.

'I might not like you, but I marked you, and you're still my mate so if you plan on talking to me further in public, I suggest you wear a top.' I looked down and realised I was still in my bra and I attempted to cover myself with my arms. Damien smirked

'Black suits you. I would like to find out the rest of you.' He said

'I thought I disgusted you?'

'You do, but remember my wolf still wants you!' He yelled because he was on my front yard walking away.

'Screw you Damien.' I said, and slammed my door.
