Chapter 20

I spent the night with Karis just holding her. I had slept with a lot of girls, but they had never made me feel like she did. She stared up at me with complete trust, in awe. I was in total control and I liked it. Maybe it was the new Alpha side of me or something, or maybe it was just Karis.

The mating bond did crazy things to you. I had always kept it a policy to never stay the night. This was the second time I’d fallen asleep with Karis in my arms. I didn’t want it any other way. I wanted to wake up every day holding her. I think that realization was freaking me out more than her bomb about me being Alpha.

Alpha? I didn’t even know how it was possible that this was happening to me. I kept waiting for someone to jump out and tell me it was all a dream, or some big practical joke.

I couldn’t get her words out of my head. “My mate. You. You will be Alpha.” They were on replay in my head. Me? Alpha? I had never been one to be considered modest. My ego was legendary, but this was beyond humbling. And the fact that Karis thought I was good enough to lead her Pack that clearly meant the world to her had nearly brought me to my knees. I’d never had anyone truly believe in me before.

I didn’t know if I could live up to those expectations, but I knew I’d die trying. I never wanted to let this girl down. If she had this much faith in me, then I’d do whatever it took to prove myself worthy of that.

Chase was calling before Karis stirred. I answered it quickly and in a hushed voice so as not to wake her. Neither of us had to be anywhere until Italian class, and if we happened to miss it, that wouldn’t be the end of the world either.

“Hello?” I asked.

“Hey. You okay?” Chase whispered back.

“Yeah, fine. Why are you calling so early?”

“It’s not early, and the guys said you never came home last night. Everyone’s worried because you were kind of a mess when you took off,” he reminded me.

“Why are you whispering?” I asked.

“I don’t know. You’re whispering. Why are you whispering?”

“Karis is still asleep,” I pointed out.

“Oh,” he said in a normal voice. “That makes sense. I guess you just stayed over there last night then?”

“Yeah,” I said, not offering details.

“Cool. Well, if you need to talk, I’m here. And about all that crap they were carrying on about. They’re all crazy. Ignore it, dude. There’s nothing wrong with you,” Chase said.

“Thanks for the vote of confidence, but um, it’s possible they’re not that crazy.” I hesitated for a moment. I needed someone to talk to and I wasn’t close enough to either Alpha I’d spent time with growing up to ask the questions I needed answers to. “Your brother, Kyle, he’s an Alpha
