A/N: Hi guys. I won't be doing Jason's POV too often. I decided to do this chapter in his POV to give you an understanding early on of his personality and how he views Kat, so you can infer in later chapters why he says or does certain things.

Jason's POV

Do we have to go the club tonight? I mean I know its one of the pack's biggest income streams but do I really need to go there?

According to Nick, my annoying best friend and Beta, it was necessary for me to show face to ward away any troublemaking rogues who thought to make an appearance, as the club was in neutral territory, and to make the pack members who work at the club feel appreciated and acknowledged. I understood his reasoning but I hated clubs and Lupa was no exception, even though I owned it.

Stepping into the club that night, I could feel that my wolf was on edge for some reason. He was pacing up and down in agitation, giving me the almost undeniable urge to start walking around to see if anything was amiss. I ignored the feeling and went up to my office to carry out my usual checks from up there before speaking to the employees.

Half an hour later, I growled in annoyance and decided to just follow my wolf's urges, knowing damn well that I would never get any work completed if I didn't give in to him. He usually wasn't very insistent about things like this and I trusted his instincts so I just went with it. I ran into Nick, Adrian and Caleb on my way to the club's main floor and we decided to grab a drink to blend in with the crowd. Adrian and Caleb were trusted warriors of the pack. Nearing the bar, I could feel my wolf going crazy and as I turned the corner, the most amazing scent filled the air, making me almost stumble in shock at the realisation that I had found my mate.

I looked directly at her, taking in her beautiful wavy auburn locks, flawless creamy skin and curvy form draped in pink lace, thanking Luna for blessing me with such a perfect mate, before I registered her smoothly moving back to block the punch aimed at her head before extending her right arm and swinging with some force.

I started moving towards her and the soon to be corpse that was attacking my mate, all the while trying to control my wolf who was chomping at the bit to tear his teeth into the idiot. I growled low in my throat, fury enveloping me at the fact that someone dared try to harm what's mine. I stepped in front of her, trying to ignore her alluring scent while grabbing the pathetic fist that had been aimed at my beauty's head. I almost wish this guy was a werewolf so I could punish him properly, but knowing he was human, I had to rein in my anger and the urge to gut him like a fish.

I growled and squeezed my hand slightly, smirking in satisfaction at the pitiful whimper that escaped his throat.

"Why don't you apologise to the lovely lady and piss off before I turn you into a eunuch, you little wimp..." I growled, allowing my eyes to turn black just to scare the moron.

He shook like a leaf while staring into my soulless eyes and turned his gaze to the girl my mate was trying to block from his view. He apologised and I shoved him away, expecting him to leave. Being the idiot that he was though, he decided to glare at my mate as if he would be coming back for her.

"DON'T YOU DARE FUCKING LOOK AT HER, you worthless piece of shit!!! Don't talk to her. Don't breathe in her direction. Do you understand me!?" I seethed at him. He bowed his head and apologised again before scampering away like the coward that he was.

Hmph. Damn straight, fuckwad.

I waited until I was certain he had actually left the club and then turned around in time to see Nick approaching the girls behind me. I growled and him and bared my canines in warning.

'Chill bro. I know she's yours. But the beauty in gold is most definitely MINE!' Nick mindlinked me.

I calmed down and nodded slightly for him to proceed, still not liking his proximity to my mate.

I watched my mate carefully as she observed the interaction between Nick and the girl whose name I learned was Alyssa. Yes, I was eavesdropping without shame because anything that concerned my best friend and my mate concerned me.

My mate was stunning. She wasn't what I had expected when I imagined my mate, purely because she didn't fit the stereotype of a female wolf. Female wolves were generally lithe, stick thin and typically beautiful. Sort of like Nick's mate. But my mate was full and curvy in all the right places. She had dark auburn hair that fell just past her shoulders, hazel green eyes and perfect skin. Her plump lips were begging to be kissed.

"Kat?" I heard Alyssa ask quietly.

Kat. It was cute and suited her, although I was dying to discover her full name.

My mate jumped into action and pulled Alyssa away from Nick, shooting him a glare at his grumbling complaint and telling him to wait.

Well, she was going to be the pack's Alpha female, so she had every right to command Nick, even if she didn't know it. He knew he'd be seriously pissing me off if he didn't obey my mate so he stepped back and let her take Alyssa away.

As my mate turned back towards the bar, her beautiful eyes met mine and I could see the shock, confusion and desire battling for dominance in her eyes. She let out a slow breath, my body attuned to her every move, and then dragged her eyes away from me to focus on her friend.

I unashamedly listened in on her conversation with Alyssa. My mate has a serious potty mouth, I thought in amusement. It was clear that the girls had a deep bond and my mate seemed to be the more dominant one, the protector, between them. It made me extremely proud and at the same time pissed off that she had to look after herself and friends all this time without me by her side.

I growled at hearing her say Nick was a hottie, shooting him a pissed off glare as he smirked at me discreetly. Fuck that. From tonight, the only man my mate would look at that way would be me.

Kat and Alyssa ended their conversation and I was pleased that they decided to stay at the club a while longer. I kept my eyes on my mate as she neared me, extending her hand to introduce herself.

"Hi, I'm Katrina." she said confidently. "Thank you for stepping in earlier because I'm sure I'd be minced meat right now if not for you," she said with a small but stunning smile.

I was internally pleased at my mate's confidence. She would make a fantastic Alpha. I held her hand in mine and smirked as I took in her reaction to feeling the tingles that I already knew would be there when I touched her. I introduced myself and noticed her sudden arousal accompanied by a breathless moan that had me straining the zipper on my jeans. The scent of my mate's arousal that invaded the little bit of air between us was intoxicating and I had to fiercely rein myself in so that I didn't drag her upstairs and ravish her senseless in my office. I reminded myself that she was human and I would have to take it slow to not terrify her. It was gratifying to know that I affected her as she affected me, even if it was a natural reaction from the mate pull.

Kat tried pulling her hand out of my grasp but I couldn't have that so I pulled her closer, my hand finding the small of her back easily. I felt the sparks everywhere we touched and all at once, it registered that I could feel my mate's warm soft body pressed up against me quite intimately.

Before I realised what she was doing, I felt her wrench herself away from me and start running, mumbling something about Alice under her breath. I felt a lurch in my chest at the thought that she was running away and gave chase, cursing the masses of bodies in the club that were preventing me from reaching my mate.

I lost her after a minute and mindlinked Nick, Adrian and Caleb to look for her. Nick responded immediately to let me know that he was escorting Kat and Alyssa to the restroom. I let out a relieved breath and made my way to the restroom to catch up with my feisty mate.

I nodded at Nick in thanks as I reached him and leaned against the wall to wait, once again listening in on the girls' conversation. I smiled in admiration at my mate's protective nature and briefly wondered what their "usual routine" entailed. I could tell that Nick was also pissed off hearing that his mate had just recently been with another guy, but judging from Kat's comments, he was clearly out of the picture. I felt myself getting angry at my mate's dismissal of the idea of us being together (although I LOVED her description of me being the most attractive guy she's ever seen) and frowned, wondering if she was self-conscious or insecure for some reason or if it was past experiences. I didn't like either option.

The girls exited the restroom and Alyssa immediately walked over the Nick. I approached Kat quietly as she waved goodbye to Alyssa with an adorable little giggle before she turned and nearly walked in to me, not that I was complaining at all about having her in my arms.

I felt her hands land on my chest and loved the feeling that invoked in me. She opened her eyes slowly, her nose scrunched up cutely as if she had been expecting to fall and then she blushed, realising what had happened. It was the most adorable thing I could imagine and extreme feelings of protectiveness swept me over, just looking at her.

"Shit, sorry Jason." She apologised, before straightening up and averting her eyes away.

"You can fall onto me any time Kitten..." I said gleefully, enjoying how my name breathlessly left her lips.

She pulled away and said firmly, "I have a name and its not Kitten. But anyway, I'm leaving so it doesn't matter. Thank you again for your help earlier. It was nice meeting you Jason."

Hearing her say my name was like an aphrodisiac being injected directly in my bloodstream and I saw red when she turned away from me to leave the club.

Fuck this. She's MINE!

I reached her quickly and slammed her against the wall, being careful to keep my right hand behind her so she didn't feel the impact of the wall at all, with my left hand pinning her arms above her head.

"You are MINE! Don't ever run away from me again Kitten..." I said in warning.

Her startled green eyes met mine and the scent of her arousal once again permeated the air. This time I couldn't control myself and I captured her lips with mine forcefully, groaning at the sweet taste and softness of her mouth. Suddenly I felt her pulling away and I opened my eyes to see her staring back at me in shock. I growled at being denied a further taste of her mouth and her eyes widened further before she sucked in a startled gasp of air.

"Holy FUCK! Are you a werewolf??"

****

Kat's POV

I felt Jason press me into the wall and that, coupled with his possessive statements, were causing me to become even wetter.

Before I could even think clearly, Jason bent down and I felt his lips firmly pressing onto mine, causing sparks and tingles to erupt on my entire body. Jesus, if this is what one kiss from him does, I'm so fucked! I never felt this way with any other guy before. Jason expertly traced my lips with his and I heard a groan escape him, the sound turning me on further.

I forced myself to pull away and stared into his swirling black eyes, hearing a growl escape him. I didn't even think before opening my mouth.

"Holy FUCK! Are you a werewolf??"

Jason stared at me in shock and his eyes returned to their normal hazel brown colour. He seemed to pale a bit before forcing out a strained laugh.

"A werewolf? Those only exist in fantasy stories..."

"Jesus, you are one, aren't you? Oh God, why are you determined to have me meet my end in a club? Whyeeeee? Ugh!" I verbalised, forgetting that Jason was there for a second while I lamented my fate.

Jason looked at me in a mixture of concern and another emotion I couldn't quite place which looked like awe?

"I'm not going to hurt you, Kitten. Maybe we should go somewhere more private to talk about this?"

"Er, no. I just met you. I'm not going somewhere alone with you. Are you crazy? That would explain some things, actually... Maybe I should ask Nick about your mental health..."

Jason tightened his grip on my hands and growled again.

"You're MINE! Fucking forget Nick. You belong to me and only ME!"

"Geez, cool down Jason. You're not making me any more comfortable about going anywhere with you alone right now..."

Jason swore under his breath and released me as if I was on fire, running his hands through his hair in frustration and grumbling under his breath. I caught the words "luna", "argumentative", "stubborn" and "mate" before he turned back to me with a calmer but determined expression on his gorgeous face.

"Ok, I understand Katrina. But we are going somewhere to talk. You choose where, if that makes you feel safer..."

Hearing him say my name sent my body into another wave of desirous feelings I don't want to explore yet. I don't know why I was so incredibly sensitive and hyper aware of his every movement and I also wasn't sure whether I liked it or not.

"OK fine," I said, thinking quickly. "Let me talk to Alice first and then we can go. My apartment."

Jason nodded and grabbed my hand, leading me to an elevator. I felt safer going to my apartment because of the number of security measures I had there to ensure that even if Jason was a creepy psycho, he wouldn't be able to seriously harm me or kidnap me or any of that. Plus this was a good opportunity to get dirt on Nick so I knew what Alice was getting herself into.

I tried to ignore the tingles I felt from our joined hands and focused on where we were going. Jason seemed to be leading me to the offices upstairs.

"Jason, this isn't the club... Where are you taking me? You know I won't hesitate to scream bloody murder up in here!" I threatened.

Jason chuckled, the delicious sound igniting my nerve endings, and reassured me that we were heading to Nick's office upstairs because that's where Alice was. He suggested that I call Alice to confirm but my gut was telling me that he was being sincere so I decided not to call Alice.

We arrived at a fairly nondescript black office door and Jason knocked once before opening the door to reveal a mussed up Nick and a breathless Alice sitting on his lap suggestively.

She blushed beet red at the position we found her in and I couldn't help my grin and wink, which caused her to redden even further and hide her face in Nick's neck. He rubbed her back soothingly while Jason explained that he was taking me home but I wanted to speak to Alice before leaving.

Nick nodded and the guys left, leaving me alone with a mortified but adorable Alice.

"Sooooooo sweet pea..."I said with a sly smirk.

"Shut up Bumblebee!" she giggled.

"Are you good though? Any weird vibes? Odd behaviour?"

"He's just perfect..." she sighed dreamily. "A bit possessive, but otherwise, nothing unusual."

"Well, I have a theory about that. But I'm going to talk to Jason and then I'll know for sure. I don't know if its good or bad, so be careful alright? Don't forget the routine..."

"Ok Kat, I promise. Where are you going?"

"To my apartment. I have Jonny there and my alarm and pepper spray and my-"

"Ok, ok, I get it, you're safer there..." she cut me off, with a laugh.

I kissed Alice on her cheek and she waved as I exited the office to find Jason once again leaning against the wall waiting. I sucked in a breath and tried to mentally prepare myself for having to spend more time with this very-far-out-of-my-league hunk.

"Ready, Kitten?"

"Why do you keep calling me that?"

"I dunno. Alice calls you Kat and you're mine and a lot smaller than me so you're my Kitten." He explained, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

My cheeks burned in embarrassment at being called smaller than him, knowing that this was a flattering dress and I was, in fact, very large for a female. I chose to ignore the "mine" thing for now and rolled my eyes at him before walking back towards the elevator.

"You coming?" I asked him cheekily, turning just in time to catch him lifting his eyes with a guilty expression on his handsome face.

Lord, please let him not have been looking at my ass. I mean I know my entire body is huge but my ass in particular was not my favourite feature.

We entered the elevator and Jason once again grabbed my hand, leading me out to a gorgeous matte black Audi R8 when the elevator stopped. I think I stopped in my tracks and literally moaned aloud at the sight of the car.

Jason looked at me and then glared at the car for some reason before he sighed and handed me the keys.

"Oh my God. Are you fucking kidding me right now? You better not be playing with my emotions Jason!"

"I would never, my sweet. She's all yours, if you want to drive to your place."

I squealed, yes actually squealed, and then made sure I enjoyed the hell out of the car on my way to my apartment.
