I groaned. My sorority sisters always did love drama.

“She isn’t your concern, Damon.”

“Well maybe she should be.”

“You already have a mate,” Sawyer pointed out.

“I’m talking about her shifting allegiance to the Alaskan Pack.”

“Settle down, pup. You aren’t Alpha yet.”

Damon growled and took a step closer.

“Simmer down, both of you,” a large authoritative voice said.

I looked up to see Alpha Zach, former Alpha of Collier Pack, approaching with his son Thomas, the current Alpha fast on his heels.

“Now what’s the meaning of this?” Zach demanded.

“Nothing that concerns you,” Sawyer informed him.

“I’m only trying to help.”

“Kaitlyn is my charge, and I will determine what is best for her.”

A low growl emanated from just behind me. I didn’t have to turn around to know Landon had just joined the party and it was clear he had no idea what he was jumping into.

Four Alphas and Landon was pushing me behind him and threatening them all with his actions.

“Why do Alpha types always go for her?” Mila asked. “I just don’t get it.”

“I don’t know, but I’d take the hottie any time. Who is he?”

“I don’t know. I’m certain I’ve never seen him before, but I’d like to see more.”

I glared at Mila and Tiffany warning them to back off.

I tried to step around Landon to try to calm the tempers flaring, but he was being stubborn and wouldn’t allow me to pass.

“Just who the hell do you think you are?” Sawyer asked.

“I’m her true mate, that’s who I am.”

I groaned.

Mila squeaked in excitement, but Tiffany pouted.

Kyle Westin made his way over as Landon continued to hold his own as he stared down the other four Alphas.

“Hey guys, what’s going on?”

No one said anything, finally Thomas stepped in and filled him in.

“Landon, is that true?” Kyle asked.

I was just as surprised as the others that Kyle would know who he was.

“Who is this, Kyle?” Sawyer asked.
