Kyra woke up with a smile on her face. Shivering at the thought of the kisses they shared last night. She giggled softly when she heard Tia start snoring. She grabbed her phone and started recording. She was grinning so hard her face hurt at the thought of posting it on Facebook. Then again she could save it for blackmail later. Tia snorted and Kyra almost fell off the bed laughing. Tia pulled the pillow over her head. "Shut up Kyra there's no class today and I wanna sleep."
"No lazybones. I want to go shopping after breakfast."
Tia perked up, head popping from under the pillow. "Shopping?"
Kyra looked at her with wide eyes and wiggled her eyebrows. "The mall. Time for a little retail therapy."
"Are you serious? What about class?" Tia asked as she sat up and stretched.
"I talked to Kevin last night. He is going to speak with the Dean. I'll do my work online, since I don't have any labs this semester."
"That's great. But why?"
"This way I'm not stuck here and can move around to avoid Jason. I'm even considering moving to the pack house, until he leaves."
"Why don't you just tell him to get out?"
"I can't. He owns this apartment."
"Crap! Then I guess your plan is best."
"Now get up! Go shower while I make breakfast."
Tia saluted her. "Yes ma'am!" Kyra pushed her off the bed and walked out.
Kyra walked into the kitchen humming to herself. She was getting all the ingredients for breakfast, when Jason walked in. She felt him before she saw him. She decided to change her tactics with him. Be nice and let him down easy, instead of avoiding him. "Good morning Jason. Would you like some breakfast?" Jason was shocked. He thought he would have to force her to talk to him.
"Um...sure, I guess."
"Great! Where's Lisa? Do you think she might want breakfast too?"
"I don't know. I slept on the couch last night. She is probably still asleep."
"Okay then, I'll just make extra in case she wakes up. Coffee will be ready in a minute, why don't you sit down."
Jason could only stare at her. He wasn't sure how to start a conversation with her. She was humming and seemed happy. He cleared his throat. "What time do you go to class?"
Kyra walked over with a cup of coffee. "No classes today. Tia and I are going shopping." She turned back to finish cooking. She was having a harder time than she thought. His scent was so alluring, like pine, leather and a hint of orchid. She just wanted to grab him and inhale. Kyra stop it! You are with Kevin now! What is wrong with you! She had to mentally scold herself.
Breakfast was almost ready when Tia came strolling in. Jason mentally cursed. He was hoping to have some time alone with her. "Wow! It smells good!" She tried to sneak a piece of bacon and Kyra popped her hand.
"Go get some coffee and sit down." Tia grumbled about someone being a meanie but did as she was told.
Kyra dished up everyone a plate and sat down beside Jason. Tia raised an eyebrow at her and she just smirked.
"So...Jason. Would you like to go shopping with us?" Jason was at first surprised, then smiled at her.
"Yeah that'd be fun."
Kyra winked at Tia and dug into her food.

Kevin was ambushed by Marcus as soon as he got into his office. Marcus walked in without permission and Kevin growled. Marcus acted as if he didn't hear it.
"We need to talk."
"First of all Marcus, you know it is customary to ask permission before entering another Alpha's office." Kevin was pissed.
"I realize that but I need to talk to you now."
"I'm busy. Come back after lunch." He waved him away.
Marcus growled. "This can not wait! The future of my pack is at stake!"
Kevin wanted to tell him to get the hell out, so badly. But he knew he was only pushing the problem forward. "Fine. But in the future do not barge into my office or I will have you removed." Marcus could see the glint of danger in his eyes and had no doubt he would do it. Kevin slowly sat down in his chair and motioned for him to take a seat. He looked at him for a moment before he spoke. "What do you need that would cause you to act so...ill mannered?"
"I want to talk to you about my son and his mate." Kevin quirked an eyebrow at him and waited for him to continue. "You need to step aside so Jason can repair the bond and mate with Kyra."
Kevin burst out laughing and then went deathly quiet. He could feel his wolf pushing forward. "No." The word came out like a growl.
"What the hell do you mean, no?!" Marcus' face was red with rage.
"Exactly what I said. Kyra and I have started to form a bond and I won't allow you or anyone else to interfere." He was barely holding on to his wolf. His wolf felt the demand from Alpha Gordon to be a challenge.
"How dare you interfere with a mate bond to an Alpha! I will report you to the council!"
Kevin was starting to shake. If he did not end this now, he would shift and rip his throat out. "Enough!" The word carried so much power that Marcus cowered slightly. "You will leave my territory immediately! Guards!" Four huge men came running into the room. "Escort the Alpha to pack his things and then out of my territory." Marcus stood and they surrounded him. He gave one last death glare at Kevin and walked out.

Kyra was actually having fun. Lisa had woken up while they were having breakfast and decided to join them too. It was like old times. Jason entertained them with his silliness and bad jokes, while they shopped from store to store. Even Tia was laughing along. "Alright ya bunch of weirdos, I'm starving. Why don't we head to the food court."
"Yeah food!" She shook her head at Tia. The girl was a bottomless pit. Jason high-fived Tia and they took off in search of food.
"Thank you Kyra for letting me come. I thought you'd still be mad at me." Lisa looked off in the distance with a shimmer of tears in her eyes.
Kyra grabbed her in a sideways hug. "I don't blame you Lisa. I was mad at you at first, then I realized it was Jason who caused all my pain. I'm past that, now that I have Kevin."
Lisa looked shocked. "You mean that?" Lisa couldn't believe she was being so nice after all she had been through.
"Of course silly. Now let's get there before they eat all the food."
When they reached them, Jason was on the phone. He looked upset. He hung up and walked over to them. "Dads at the apartment. He said for us to come right away it was important."
"Did he say what?"
Jason shook his head. "No. He just said we needed to come right away. He was really upset." They took off out of the mall, jumped in her car and she drove as fast as she could, hoping not to get pulled over.
As they approached the door, Alpha Gordon flung the door open and hurried them inside. "Lisa, go and pack yours and Jason's things. Quickly!" She only hesitated for a second and then ran to the bedroom. "Kyra, Tia could you wait in the living room, I need to speak to Jason. I will explain to you shortly what is going on." They nodded and left. He took Jason's arm pulling him into the kitchen. "Listen and don't speak. Alpha Haynes refused to step back and ordered me out of his territory. We are taking Kyra and leaving. I have a car downstairs, I will drive it with Lisa and you will drive Kyra in hers. I know she will not leave willingly. I am going to have to sedate her." Jason was so shocked all he could do was nod. "Stay here." He walked out and came back with Kyra.
Kyra had a frown on her face. "What's going on?" Jason walked up behind her and put his hands on her shoulders.
"Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have to leave right away." Alpha Gordon reached into his pocket and pulled a syringe out. Before she realized what was going on, he had grabbed her arm and injected her.
Kyra jerked back and gasped. "What are you doing?" She swayed on her feet. Her wolf was whining.
He laughed. "You're going home sweetie." Before she could protest she felt herself falling into darkness. Jason scooped her up in his arms and followed his father. He laid her on the couch and Tia was immediately at her side.
"What the hell happened?"
"She fainted." As Tia leaned over to check on her, he pulled another syringe and jabbed her in the neck. Tia looked at him with wide eyes and grabbed her neck. "Don't worry dear, just a little wolfsbane. We can't have you communicating with your pack. Don't worry you will sleep for a bit then you will be okay." She slumped to the floor and he turned to Jason. "Go pack all of Kyra's things, she won't be returning."
Please don't hate me.
