websites and everything. The government was trying to publically make it look
like they had also united with us, and that Kai’s announcement of our kind
looked like a planned controlled thing.
                    Kai
placed a hand on Alexa’s back. “Being that Alexa used to work for RAIDOS, I
feel she is the best person to be a liaison between the werewolves and the
CIA.”
                    I
cringed. When RAIDOS (Research and Intelligence Division of Supernaturals) went
rogue and suddenly took it upon themselves to do their own thing, Alexa barely had
gotten out with her life. She was right not to trust them.
                    “RAIDOS
isn’t the CIA, right? They are separate?” I was trying to be neutral.
                    Alexa
sighed. “They were a super-secret branch of the CIA. I wouldn’t exactly call it
separate. Listen. Every single thing that we tell him will be recorded and put
into a file somewhere so that one day when they decide they don’t like the
werewolves anymore, they can use it all against us.”
                    Her
surety gave me chills.
                    “What
would you have me do?” Kai roared. “Ignore their attempts at peace? Let them
drop bombs on this mountain and wipe us all out in our sleep?”
                    Alexa
balled her hands into fists. “I don’t know! No, but I don’t trust them. I don’t
want any part of it!”
                    Kai
looked murderous. “I’m not asking you to trust them! I’m asking you to talk to
them for me. To be my in-between person. They use language that I don’t
understand, they ask for figures I don’t have, and sometimes I want to scream
at them to back the fuck off!” Alpha power radiated from Kai and Alexa went to
her knees in submission, whining. Hell, even I bowed my head. Kai had
officially lost it and he never lost it. I came up behind him and put a hand on
his shoulder, sending calm energy through the mate bond. Kai sighed.
                    Alexa
looked scared; she stared at the ground, panting. She didn’t want to upset him
further. Neither did I. Kai told me once that he prided himself of running a
clean pack. He was Alpha, yes, but he wasn’t a bully. I didn’t know how much
this government issue was stressing him out until now.
                    Kai
swallowed, getting himself under control. Slowly, his eyes returned to brown
and he pulled Alexa to her feet and met her eyes. “Alexa, I’m sorry I yelled at
you. I’m under a lot of stress to keep this fragile relationship with the human
government stable. I will figure it out on my own.”
                    He
turned to leave but she reached out and grabbed his arm.
                    “No,
I’m sorry. You asked for my help and my answer is yes.” She gave a weak smile.
                    He
smiled back. “You sure? Not just because I yelled at you?”
                    She
shrugged. “A little because you yelled, but yeah, I’m sure.”
                    We
all laughed and she gave him a quick hug. Pulling away, she placed both hands
gingerly on his shoulders and looked him square in the eyes.
                    “But
there might come a time when we regret being so friendly with the human
government. Coming out to the humans was bound to happen, but continuing to
give them information may be a mistake.”
                    Her
ominous voice worried me. RAIDOS had originally been keen to partner with us.
After finding out that my blood could make vampires pregnant, well, that
partnership ended. Now they were a rogue organization not even backed by the
government and they wanted me dead.
                    She
broke eye contact and dropped her hands to her sides. Now it was Kai’s turn to
grab her
