Kane's Mate (Armageddon Mates)(6)

Faith knew she was being selfish not telling them the information she  saw in her vision instead of going out with her friends. The werewolves  would die if they knew what she was doing tonight. Faith shuddered at  the thought of how they would react if they saw her, but she was going  to do this, not just for fun but to help build some much needed  confidence again, especially now that she was back with all the gorgeous  wolves. Tonight was going to be hers. She was going to get dressed up  in something sexy, get drunk, dance, and basically behave like a normal  twenty-year-old. No overprotective wolf around. She would worry about  saving the world tomorrow.                       
       
           



       





Chapter 3



Kane felt like shit. He knew he needed to talk to Faith, apologize, beg  her to forgive him. But like the coward he was, he sat in his huge,  empty house watching the afternoon sun turn into night. Kane's wolf was  hounding him to go get their mate, bring her back home, make her believe  he was sorry and they loved her.

Kane frowned. Did they, did he, really love her? What he'd done to her  wasn't the actions of someone in love. He had known her for fifteen  years, well over half her life. Faith wasn't perfect by any means, but  he had watched her grow into a remarkable woman, well teenager, since  she hadn't had anything to do with him for over four years. What he had  learned and found out, he really liked. He'd loved her four years ago,  and after last night there was no denying he still loved her. Last night  had been amazing. He still couldn't believe his beautiful princess had  been a virgin, because she drew people to her, especially men. His wolf  had been ecstatic that he would be her one and only.

Kane stood up and walked to his shower, thinking of ways to make up with  her. Faith had said she didn't love him anymore, but he knew she did,  otherwise she wouldn't have let anything happen last night. There would  be a lot of things to sort and figure out. It wouldn't be easy, but  Faith was worth it. He was so lucky to have her as his true mate.

He got dressed and drove to her house to find his princess.

Kane tried Faith's mobile again, then Jamie's, Devlin's, and he even  tried Griffen's mobile, but no one picked up. Faith's parents hadn't  been any help, all he got from them was that she had gone out with  friends. So he tried his parents for info because he was starting to get  an uneasy feeling, his wolf was pacing.

He finally got in contact with his mum who just said to remember her  advice and try Rane. So Kane tried Rane's mobile. He picked up on the  first ring, and Kane sighed in relief. Kane could hear loud music in the  background.

"Where are you? Do you know where Faith is?"

There was a long silence. "Kane, give her a rest tonight."

"Please, Rane, I do love her, and I need to apologize."

There was a sigh that could barely be heard over the music. "I'm just about to enter a nightclub in the city called Splash."

"What, why?"

"Because that's where Faith and her friends are. I thought I would keep watch, make sure she's safe."

"Rane, that's my job. She's my mate."

"Yeah, well, how about you let her cool down tonight, see her tomorrow. I'll keep her safe."

Kane really didn't have a good feeling. He was already in his car, pushing it to the limits. "Why the fuck is your voice edgy?"

"Ah, I just bumped into three of our brothers. Looks like they had the same idea."

The music got louder and he could hear cheering. "I'll be there in five to ten minutes."

"Kane, stay at home. There are four of us... Holy shit."

Kane could hear Jamie in the background saying, "That is not our  princess, that is a hot sex kitten." It was followed by four growls.

"What the fuck is Jamie going on about?"

Rane cleared his throat. "Ah, Kane, I really do think it's best if you  stay home tonight and talk to Faith tomorrow. We've got it covered from  here."

"I was already heading to the city to her friends, I'll-"

"Shit, I gotta go, Kane."

Rane disconnected the call, and Kane chucked his phone in the passenger seat.

What the hell was going on? Kane sped up, not liking the sound of what he'd heard.

Faith was having so much fun she didn't even notice the four massive,  slack-jaw werewolves that came in the club until she and her two  girlfriends were called up to the bar to be told they were the last  contestants and would be going on next. Faith was pumped. The dance  routine was one they had practiced, but had never been game to show.

Five minutes later, standing up on the stage bar, she glanced at the  brothers, and they did not look happy. She thought about pulling out,  but Remy and Sara were counting on her, they needed the prize money.  Faith knew her werewolves wouldn't do anything in a crowded club with so  many people watching. She gave a mental shrug. Stuff it, if she was  going to be in trouble she might as well give them something to be mad  about. Faith leaned down to the DJ coordinator. "On the second song,  about two and a half minutes in, hose us down."

She took off her sequin top as she had a white singlet underneath that  showed off a pink belly ring that matched her pink and black lacy bra  set. To complete the outfit she had tight jeans and knee-high, black,  fuck-me boots. She had told the girls if they wanted to win the $2,000  prize money they were going to have to use some serious dance moves to  make the crowd cheer loud. She had told them to dress accordingly.                       
       
           



       

Faith heard her friend give a nervous laugh. "Oh my God," said Remy. "We  are so going to win. Look at you two." She hugged Faith. "Thanks so  much for doing this, Faith. You used to be so shy and reserved, but  jeez, two years overseas has turned you into a bad girl. You were so  right, they are going to go wild with these white singlets when we get  wet."

They laughed as the music started and all those dance lessons Faith had taken made themselves known.

Catcalls, whistling, yelling for numbers, and loud cheers filled the  air. She chanced a glance at the four very angry werewolves that were  getting closer. A minute or two before the water hose was put on them  she felt Kane and knew he had come in. Oh shit, she was dead. When she  went down to slide across the bar, swapping spots with her friends for  the finish of the song, she looked up to see the scariest sight she had  ever seen-a six and a half foot massive, hulking, pissed off alpha  werewolf stalking toward her. She gulped and rushed to follow her  friends to the DJ.

Kane had steam coming out of his head! What the hell had happened to his  princess? In her place was a vibrant, young sex kitten. He smiled a  feral smile as his mind conjured up all kinds of things. He loved his  princess or, he thought, sex kitten, but tonight there were going to be a  lot of human male deaths, especially if one more man tried to touch  her.

The crowd parted easily for him, sensing the danger coming off him. He  was almost at the bar when he heard the human male next to him say to  his friend, "What I wouldn't give to have a go at the one in the pink  and black lacy bra and matching belly ring. Those exotic eyes are  undoing me. I bet I could get her to come home with me. She looks like  she could go all night."

Kane lunged for the human growling "mine" only to be grabbed by his  brothers, who held similar expressions as him and were fighting to  control themselves.

"Wait, it's almost done," said Rane through gritted teeth.

Griffen spat out, "Oh, she knew when you came in. She was scared shitless. Be prepared for her to do something crazy."

Kane chuckled, rubbing his hands together in anticipation of getting his hands and mouth on his new little sex kitten.

The music finished, and the cheers, whistles, and catcalls were  deafening. The DJ talked about the end of the contest and how it looked  like the final contestants were the winners, and he asked them to come  and introduce themselves and get their prize money. Faith and her  friends moved together over to the microphone and collected the check.

"What are your names?" the DJ asked.

The girls answered, "Sara, Remy, and Faith."

The DJ nodded. "Now, girls, what every guy out there, and quite possibly some girls, are wondering is are you single?"

They all laughed. Kane's eyes never left Faith's.

Remy said, "Yes, I'm single, and I'm ready for some fun."

Sara spoke up, "Sorry, boys and girls, I'm taken."

The DJ turned the microphone on Faith. Kane held his breath.

"Yes, today I'm single."

The crowd cheered as the three girls were carried off the stage. Kane's  brothers let go of him, and he stalked to Faith. He turned her to face  him, lifted her over his shoulder, said goodbye to her friends, and  walked out the exit.
