Mason issue a direct order that would make them cross Taylor.

Poor things, she mused, they were trying.It actually surprised her that they listened to her orders—Surprised and terrified.

Was she already Alpha female in their eyes? Or just a strong-willed female they liked enough to humor.

Taylor unclenched her jaw, not realizing she had been clamping her teeth together so forcefully.

Scenting the air, picking through all the foreign scents still not faded from the house was easy when the scent she was trying to target was Mason. His scent flared out above all others, annoying her without him even trying. He was still around. Somewhere.

Light squeaking of the floorboards upstairs drew her attention. With a light growl and a meaningful glance at Akira and Daren, each snapping their eyes back to the TV screen, she rose from her seat at the table.

Breaking in was he?

Taylor felt her muscles tense in anticipation as she ascended the stairs.

Someone was climbing through the window of her room, the one she swore she'd locked. Impressed, not thinking Mason had lock picking skills, especially the complexity to unhook a latch on a window from the other side without shattering glass.

Taylor flicked on the light, rushing the shadow that was Mason

.He sidestepped her swing—and as her eyes adjusted she took in the long hair and breasts.

Nope. Not Mason.

Kaden grinned at her and went to her closet, not bothering with an explanation.

Taylor lowered her raised fists, not bothering to turn around, "To what do I owe this pleasure?"

Kaden laughed, ripping what little clothes Taylor had managed to bring off their hangers and throwing them over her shoulder, "There has to be something flashy in here…Something party worthy."

"Party?"

"Yeah, there's a block party tonight, we're invited."

"And you were going to tell me when?"

"After I took your best outfit?"

Taylor threw a shirt at her with a laugh before digging in next to her to look for something to wear.

It wasn't everyday a girl met other Weres.

Chapter 37: Links and Livewires

.::. Kaden'S POV.::.

Kaden could feel music thumping through the walls of the house. It vibrated through her body and made her eager to leave the confines of the house. As happy as she was for this party, she kept thinking back to what Axel had said earlier, Why would I leave you alone? I love you.

She shook her head, focusing on the present, remembering what lay ahead.

Giddy with expectation for the party to come, Kaden walked over to the kitchen sink to hassle Akira, "Dude! What's taking so long?!"

Akira gave Kaden a pointed look, briskly drying his hair off with a towel, "Sorry, your majesty, but we were only informed of this party after you came downstairs already in your gallant attire."

Axel's dog tags clanged together as Kaden looked down at her purple and silver tunic top and skinny jeans, ending in the fur of the boots she wore, her brown curls corralled in a high ponytail.

Typically, a tunic top wasn't her first choice, but it made it a lot easier to hide the gun against the small of her back. She thought about leaving it behind, but she couldn't shake the uneasy feeling that had been shadowing her for the past few days.

She stuck out her tongue as Akira grabbed a gallon of gel and proceeded to shape his half blonde, half black hair, into the fohawk he often wore.

Kaden went back to sit at the couch, where Daren and Taylor sat, also waiting for Akira.

Taylor looked great with her long blank tank that clung down to her hips, a faded tan cardigan dotted with holes rested around her shoulders and dark jeans tucked into buckled brown boots.

Before Kaden could enter the conversation Taylor was fervently was engaged in, Akira came out, in a simple t-shirt with an abstract design and baggy jeans, a half smile on his face.

They got up from the couch as one and headed out the door. The music was loud and inviting, the smell of food, mouthwatering, and the sight incredible.

It'd been a long time since Taylor or Kaden had gone out, and it was astonishing to see so many different types of people, especially knowing that behind each face was a Were. That many different types of Were gathered in one place alone was staggering but the fact that they were all socializing without a care in the world was even more incredible.

Before their quartet even reached the block party, Kaden noticed Taylor get dragged into the shadows of a townhouse.

Sensing who the culprit was and the fact that neither Akira nor Daren seemed all that worried about her friends abduction, Kaden walked on, leaving Taylor at the mercy, literally, of the wolf.

As soon as their trio stepped under the stringed multi-colored lights that seemed to serve as the boundary of the party, a muted silence fell over the crowd as all the Weres seized them up. Before their Wolves could get riled, Chloe broke the spell, bounding towards them cluelessly. The short, blue baby-doll dress she wore was a perfect match to her dandelion feathered blue hair.

"You guys made it! The other Wolves have been here for a while, I was wondering if you were coming or not." She said as she tried to give Kaden a hug. Startled she attempted to hug her back.

Awkward.

"C'mon, let's go have fun." Chloe said all smiles.

The quiet that had ensued when they had arrived drifted away, leaving Kaden's attention to wander back to the party, she spotted Axel speaking to another person, his hands in the pockets of his black slacks, a simple black shirt hugged his muscles tightly, his ebony black hair lose around his face, and emerald eyes alight with amusement as he caught Kaden looking at him, a smile blooming on his lips.

The sight of him sent shivers through her, and reminded her of what he'd said earlier. I love you…

Kaden tried to ignore Axel, walking towards the nearest stand, lured by the smell of alcohol. It was the only smell she could distinguish besides cooking meat, and Wolves. She couldn't even begin to process the different types of Weres. But even the sight of un-sobering goodness couldn't distract her from the feel of Axel's presence drawing nearer.

"You look delicious enough to eat." Axel crooned in her ear as he snaked an arm around Kaden's waist.

"Said the big bad wolf," Kaden half-smiled as she turned around to face him, trying to keep the jolt of energy his touch had brought hidden.

They looked at each other for a while before someone invoked the inevitable interruption,

"Damn, y'all got some hard core sexual tension up in here. It's a freakin' time bomb!" said the Asian girl serving the drinks behind the counter they leaned against. Her black hair framed her face beautifully. She looked about 5'3, and wore a pair of short-shorts and a tank top with a green and black glittery swirl adorning it.

She shot them a knowing smile, "You Wolves are different, eh? No stick up y'all ass at the sight of a kitty cat," Added the bartender, studying them with her almond shaped black eyes as she worked to mix drinks.

"You're a Cat?!" Kaden asked excitedly, "What type?"

The girl smiled, "I'm a Black Leopard."

"Isn't she great?" Chloe asked as she appeared next to the Leopard, "Her name's Nyx! But she's leaving soon after the party. It makes me sad." Chloe ranted giving Nyx a puppy dog eye look.

"You ain't so bad yourself, Chloe-Chan." She smiled as she offered Kaden a drink. "On the house."

Kaden took a sip.

Yumm, a Screwdriver.

"Thanks." Kaden barely had time to reply before she was dragged away by Axel.

"You better chug that, and soon." He stated.

"Why?"

"We're gonna dance." Axel replied as Kaden topped her drink off, dropping the plastic cup, as Axel waited patiently.

She searched the crowd, briefly spotting Taylor dancing with Mason, and smiled, deciding for once not to let her fear rule her life.

The rest of the night went by in bouts of both slow and fast motion. Kaden danced, and laughed, and ate, and definitely had drinks, but not enough to get her drunk.

Shame.

Though apparently she had drank enough to make her ask stupid questions…

"So, I need to ask…" Kaden tentatively stated as she and Axel took a seat on the curb of a house on the outskirts of the party.

"Yeah?"

"Why did you say you …umm, you loov…ahem, te amo?"

Axel raised an eyebrow, "Is that 'I love you' in Spanish?"

Kaden nodded, looking up at the dark night sky. Anything to avoid his eyes.

Axel chuckled as he took her hand in his, twining their fingers—Very much like he had intertwined her emotions.

"Because I do. You're not gonna roll over and take a beating. You won't let innocent people get hurt. You are stubborn, and irrational, and beautiful. You're so different from all the other She-Wolves, I just want to be around you. You calm the Wolf's violent rage, you provide warmth for both the man and the wolf. "

He grabbed her chin, making her finally look up at him.

"I've never been more sure of anything in my life. And I know it won't be easy, but I'm willing to try."

Kaden could feel a lump in her throat. She wanted to believe him. She wanted to stop punishing him for mistakes her past lovers had made, and she really did think they could do it, that it could all work out. Plus, he was hot as hell.

But crying in front of him? Oh hell no.

Just as she was about to make some excuse to use the restroom, a faint echo of a voice whispered in her head.

Come to the backyard of the office….Or I will contact the Alpha……endangering his life.

Kaden stiffened, knowing who it was with the kind of power that could communicate with her telepathically without having any kind of connection to her. Her eyes flicked to across the party toTaylor, who seemed to not have heard a word, because she was still dancing languidly.

"Hey Axel?" Kaden spoke as she stood, "I'm gonna go find Taylor, hang out with her for a bit."

Axel looked hurt but quickly set it aside, "Sure,"He gave her a kiss on the forehead before watching her go.

Kaden's heartbeat picked up as she headed the long way around the party crowds, getting her lost from Axel, or his pack's sight, before heading in the right direction, toward the horribly pink house, at a light jog. It was a good distance away from the block party that had seemed to still be growing at an alarming rate.

She weaved through people until they thinned to just a few stragglers. Rounding the houses' corner and into a secluded make-shift alley between the two houses stood Gaby. Seeing Kaden come into view, a triumphant look overtook her face, which only seemed to ignite Kaden's anger.

"Why the hell would you threaten Axel? He's your Alpha. Leave him out of this, it's me you gotta worry about."

Gaby laughed as she stroked the pendant around her neck, "I'll make this as quick and easy as I can." She purred as she raised both her hands out towards Kaden.

Confused, Kaden took a step back towards the party, but was stopped in her tracks by the crackle of…electricity?

She looked down at Gaby's hands to find that they were glowing
