Hi guys! Are you all ready for chapter ten?

courtnii: Thank you!

That1namedJekka: It's just a name I looked up and thought was nice. :)

Now, READ.

A week had passed since Kagome had arrived. She got along well with the female demons and was really happy to help them out. She ignored the occasional death glare that someone would give her. Just like Katsumi said, she had to give it time.

They were all busy with the upcoming feast. The wolf demons of the western tribe were coming to make a peaceful visit, and it was on the next night. The priestess was helping out, but she was extremely nervous. 'If some of the wolves here still didn't like me, imagine the other ones from the western tribe! Oh no…'

After she and the other girls finished, she went straight to their den. Exhausted, she threw herself on her bed of furs. Kagome tried to sleep, but she kept tossing and turning in bed. She was still awake when Kouga returned late that night.

He was very quiet because he thought she had already fallen asleep. He took off his chest piece without making a sound and crawled under his furs. Kagome turned in her own furs to watch him. 'Why is he back so late?' She wondered. 'Could he… Could he have been with someone…?' She decided to ask him before her mind could convince her otherwise.

"Kouga, where were you?" She said in a low voice, already feeling dumb about asking. "Why did you return so late? Where you… meeting someone…?"

The wolf demon sat upright in his bed, surprised that she was still awake. "No, Kagome. I wasn't meeting with anyone!" He was shocked that she would think that. She knew that he loved her, so why would she even think of something like that? He could see she immediately blushed after asking him.

'Oh dear, why did I open my stupid mouth. I have nothing to do with his life. If he wants to meet with other women he can…' She turned to the other side, facing the wall. 'It's not like… It's not like I'm his mate or anything.'

"Why, Kagome?" He asked, smirking a bit. It was obvious she was jealous, even there being nothing to be jealous about.

"It's just that you never came back so late." She sighed. "But I have nothing to do with what you do or don't do. I'm sorry Kouga."

"Kagome, tomorrow's the feast. While you and the women were getting things ready over here, me and the men were hunting." He smiled. "We're gonna need a lot of meat for tomorrow, don't you think?"

"Yeah…" She agreed, embarrassed. 'Since when do I care about these things anyway?' She thought before being interrupted.

"But hey, how come you're not sleeping yet?"

Kagome turned to his side again. "Well, honestly, I'm very nervous, Kouga."

"Nervous? About tomorrow?"

"Yes. I mean, if people don't even like me here, what will the other tribe think of me?" She sighed. "Maybe they'll think I'm the main dish."

He laughed but stopped as soon as he realized she wasn't joking. "Kagome, I'm sorry about the other wolves. I wish they could see what an amazing woman you are." He noticed her cheeks growing pink. "Eventually, they'll se it. But don't you worry about tomorrow."

Kouga got up form his bed and walked over to hers. He lay down next to her and she didn't seem to mind. "It doesn't matter what the western wolf tribe thinks of you. All that matters is what I think of you, and that will never change. Nobody will be able to change my mind." He put his arms around her.

She smiled, feeling her cheeks burn even more. "Thank you, Kouga." She didn't move him away; she didn't feel uncomfortable with him sleeping beside her, holding her.

Kagome drifted to sleep peacefully in the wolf demon's arms.

"Come here, Kagome. You can't wear that!" Katsumi said, pulling her by the arm. She dragged the girl to her den.

"What's wrong with my own clothes?" She asked, looking at her priestess clothes in the mirror.

Katsumi searched what seemed to be a closet. "You can't wear that. You're going to be a part of a wolf demon feast, you can't wear human clothes." She found some furs and threw them to the priestess. "Put those on."

Kagome reluctantly changed clothes, wearing now a typical wolf demon outfit, with the chest plate, brown fur and everything.

"You look very pretty, Kagome. You really look like one of us." She smiled to her new friend. "Just wait till Kouga sees you."

There were demons in black fur everywhere. Kouga was talking with someone definitely important, probably the other tribe's alpha. Kagome was glad that no one from the other tribe had noticed she was human yet. She thought that her disguise would be in vain since they can obviously smell her, but the smell of the fresh meat was probably getting their full attention.

The feast was about to begin so the demons were about to take their seats. She had absolutely no idea where she was meant to sit, so she went to ask Kouga.

"Uhm, hey Kouga." She said a bit shy, since the other demon was talking to him still. "Where am I supposed to sit?"

The prince's jaw dropped. She was beautiful. Beautiful and sexy. "K-Kagome…" He had never seen her in wolf furs. 'She's the most gorgeous woman I have ever seen, especially in my tribe's clothes. This is what I want for her.'

"Kouga?" She asked again, the other alpha chuckled.

"Oh. Well, you'll sit beside me. Where else?" He answered, recovering from his trance.

"Excuse me, but I don't think we've met." The demon said, intrigued by Kagome.

"Oh, h-hello." Kagome said, worried that he'd notice she was human. "I'm Kagome."

"It's a pleasure to meet such a fine woman." He said, taking a few steps closer to her. "I am Ryota, Alpha of the western tribe."

Kouga quickly took Kagome by the waist. "This is my woman, Ryota."

"Oh." He said surprised. "I thought you weren't mated yet." He smirked in a provocative way.

"W-we're not." She said, blushing.

"But we will." Kouga quickly interrupted.

"You are lucky to have found such a beautiful mate, Kouga." Ryota said, a bit of jealousy in his voice. "It's getting harder to find a woman worthy of alpha these days."

Kagome grew uncomfortable from the way the other alpha kept on staring at her. She knew what his stare meant, and what he wanted. She pulled the prince to a corner. "Kouga, I'm sorry but I don't like him very much…"

"Don't worry, I'm not liking his attitude one bit either. I won't let you out of my sight tonight."

And he didn't. They ate and laughed and spent the whole night together, acting like real mates, and no one found out that Kagome was human.

When the time came for the western demons to leave, they all congratulated Kouga, not only because of how he managed to reconstruct his tribe after the war, but also because of the beautiful and caring mate he had found. Even his own tribe seemed to have enjoyed that fact of having Kagome as a symbol of an Alpha Female. He went back to his den that night with a huge smile on his face.

Leave me some feedback guys! Thanks. :)
