Kara's POV
Kara angrily shoved clothes into her bag as she silently cursed her ex-mate. She hated that she had to go back there. The door to her room swung open and in walked Jason, who smiled cheesily at her as he entered the room. Jason had been crushing on her since the moment he saw her. She is not sure if it was since she changed and kicked his ass in training, but he has been asking her out for months only to be turned down every time. She knows that Jason's feelings towards her are only temporary, and she does not want him to end up rejecting his mate because of her when he does find her.
"What's up?" she asked as he strolled towards her.
"I heard you're coming to Alpha James pack with us?" he answered.
"Well yeah, seeing I kicked your ass multiple times during training, Alpha had no choice but to send the best to watch for you trainees," Kara teased as she zipped her suitcase shut.
"Will you be OK with.... you know, seeing him?" Jason asked worriedly.
Kara froze, she had not thought about how she would react when she saw him. She had not seen or heard from her mate since the day she left their pack. She has no idea how she will handle being around him.
Noticing her change in mood, Jason stepped closer to her smiling mysteriously, "Hm, I wonder if this sexy trainer will accept an invitation to have dinner with me?" he asked with a little pout, trying to lighten the air.
Kara released a small chuckle, shaking her head, " OK, I'll go out with you, and it's only because you look adorable with that pout." she replied, slightly tapping his nose.
"Wow, really?" Jason questioned excitedly.
"Yes," Kara answered with a laugh.
Jason gave her a hug and a small peck on her cheek. Kara blushed as his lips left her cheek. It was the first time a guy had ever kissed her and sent shivers down her spine.
Jason headed to the door to leave. He turned slightly and looked back at Kara with an excited smile. "You won't regret it, I promise." He said with a huge grin before he slipped through the door and disappeared.
"Maybe dating Jason won't be that bad at all," she said as she thought. " I can just date him to make my mate jealous," she said, releasing an evil laugh.
Kara took her bag downstairs and started searching for Alexis. As she headed outside she could hear noises coming from the garage. As she approached it she saw a few of the pack warriors conversing among each other while some packed luggage into the trunks of the vehicles. She watched as Alexis got in the back of one of the vehicles along with Jason behind her.
"Wow and here I am getting ready to hop on my motorcycle for the trip," Kara said to herself. One of the pack members went to get Kara's luggage to pack in the vehicles as she got on her motorbike, which was gifted to her by the Alpha on her 20th birthday and had never left her side since then. Kara placed her helmet on her head and started the motorcycle. She set off riding in the direction of the Blood Thrust Pack.

Jame's POV
James stood proud and tall, with his beta Cameron by his side waiting to greet the warriors or the Blue Moon Pack. He was grateful when Alpha Hudson accepted his alliance to help them to fight against the rogues, a bit ashamed that he had to ask others for help, since Kara left, his mind was not the same, he could barely focus on anything anymore and their pack became weaker as the days went by. He had no choice but to ask neighboring packs for help.
Three vehicles and a motorcycle approached them, then parked a few feet away from them. James watched as the person got off the motorcycle. Something about the person caused a thrill to well up inside of him, anticipation swelled inside him as it felt like time to stop as they removed the helmet from their heads. Two guys came and stood in front of James and blocked his view from the person he was intensively observing.
"Hello, My name is Luke beta of Blue Moon Pack." a guy with curly brown hair said while extending his hand for James to shake. Cameron took his hand and replied.
"My name is Cameron beta of Blood Thrust pack and we are honored to have you stand with us during this war," Cameron said as he took Luke's outstretched hand to shake.
"And this is Jason, he is one of the best warriors in our pack....." Luke said as he pointed toward a guy standing a few feet behind him. The guy gave James a death glare, then nodded and turned away from him.
"Ah and this is..." Luke continued as he pointed at someone behind him, gesturing for them to come forward. James watched as the person took a slow stride towards them. James could tell it was a woman because of her thick thighs and defined curves that would make any man drop and worship her. She finally removed her helmet and, as if time stopped, James' eyes bulged. Wow, she is breathtakingly beautiful, he thought to himself, yet strangely familiar. She moved briskly towards them with a sweet smile plastered on her face.
"And this is Kara," Luke finished as Kara turned to shake Cameron's hand with a sweet smile plastered on her face.
Both Cameron and James' jaws dropped, "Ka...Kara?" Cameron stuttered as he looked her up and down, trying to find the scrawny girl they knew. She had completely changed. She was no longer the skinny and lean girl they would tease, she no longer had mountains of pimples invading her face, and she no longer had those weak brown eyes James stared deep into when he was about to reject her. Her beautiful full creamy brown eyes were now filled with light and happiness, something he never saw when she lived with them, her skin-tight leather pants hugged curves in all the right places, and her long silky black hair flowed down her shoulders as she strode gracefully like a queen towards them.
"MATE!!" Brandon, James' wolf, said for the first time in five years.
