Chapter: chapter twenty threeThe light from the opened window flooded into my room, making me groan. I turned over and covered my face with the duvet."Mommy wake up" Kayden squealed while shaking me. I groaned and turned over to the other side."Come on mommy wake up! I want to eat pink pancakes!" Kayden yelled."Alright I'm coming" I sat up on the bed and stared at my beautiful boy "but first, we've got to do one thing" I grinnedKayden's eyes widened in excitement "No! No!" He jumped up from the bed but I quickly held his tiny hands, pulling him back and began tickling him."You woke the grizzly bear, so you deserve the grizzly paws" I said, tickling him all overKayden squealed with so much joy "stop! Mommy! Stop!" He said in between fits of laughter"The bear won't stop until the magic words are spoken" I said making my voice hoarse and trying to imitate a bear."Okay I'll say it! I'll say it" he squealed and I stopped tickling him."Go on little bear" I urged with a fake angry face"The grizzly bear is bea

Chapter: Chapter twenty twoThe ride back to Jacobi's mansion was more silent than the one to the party. There was a bit of tension in the air, with him still fuming with rage and me feeling like shit. So much for announcing me to the wolf world. I scoffed.We got to the mansion and despite the fact I was now living here, it was still a breathtaking site to behold."Claire wait" Jacobi called out, his palm gently but firmly holding my wrist. I was about opening the car door and stepping out."What is it?" I asked, my eyes searching his handsome face for an answer.He gently let my wrist go, putting his hand into the breast pocket of his suit as he brought out a tiny velvet box. He handed it to me.My slender fingers curled around the box as I took it from his palm. I hesitantly opened it and an audible gasp left my lips the moment I saw what was inside.It was a ring made with an emerald stone in the middle. I held it up with my fingers as it glowed brighter in the moonlight."It's gorgeous" I whispered without

Chapter: Chapter twenty one(A FEW MINUTES EARLIER)JACOBI'S POV"Excuse me for a second" I said immediately as Zander gave me the news. My gaze lingered on her. I contemplated taking her outside with me, I didn't want to leave her alone even for a second.Her full plump lips spread into a reassuring smile, easing my mind. Fuck! She's so beautiful. She'll be fine, I thought. I walked out with Zander behind me. I was pissed."Give me the details" I ordered the moment we got out of earshot. The only place that was close to being soundproof was zanders car. This wasn't something I wanted people to be aware of."We found three of them lurking around the edge of your mansion your majesty, they had a dozen pile of wolfsbane with them" he said "How the hell did they get wolfsbane" I muttered in anger.Wolfsbane was the only thing that could render a wolf powerless, and three rogues had a dozen of them.Zander had abruptly cut off my plans for the night to inform me that rogues, had been found roaming around the bord

Chapter: chapter twentyCLAIRE'S POVI had never been so grateful for a slit in my life. I ran as fast as my human legs could carry me. Anywhere would be fine. Anywhere but here.Never piss off a wolf!If only I had listened. The panic I felt was enough to pump adrenaline into my veins. I couldn't see where I was going, but I knew I was heading for the door.I ran until I went headfirst into a wall. No it wasn't a wall. It was Jacobi. "Relax" he whispered as he stroked my hair and I immediately felt my fear slowly dissipate.I was keenly aware that everyone was watching as I buried my head in his chest. I was safe at last.He pulled back and pulled me behind him. He held my hand, wrapping his fingers around mine. My heart skipped a beat as I felt a thrill move throw my body, from the point where our hands connected. I blushed.I stared at our joined hands, his muscular and big hands engulfing my tiny and slender hands. I wanted that hand to be all over me, touching and exploring every inch of my skin. Sig

Chapter: chapter nineteen Liliana took a long sip of her drink. Throwing her head back as she gulped down everything in one go."Slow down Lils, that's like you're seventh glass" Marcus chastised, trying to prevent her from taking another glass from a waiter."It's none of your goddamn business" she said, her words slurring a little. Do wolves get drunk or is this mixed with something?I stared at my own glass and contemplated drinking it or not."I googled you" she said with a glare."What?" I replied in surprise "I. Googled. You" she replied sharply " and you won't believe the vile things I found about your sorry ass" a wicked grin was spreading across her face, making my heart beat even faster.My throat went dry. All colour slowly draining from my face. The things online were not true but yet I still felt like I had been caught in a crime.It had been five years. Five years since I left that life behind. But because of some stupid shit called Internet, it would always come back to hunt me.She laughed but

Chapter: Chapter eighteen "Oh" he bowed slightly and I did thesame "it's a pleasure to meet you Miss Claire smith""Like wise" I said. Jacobi removed his hand from my waist and I felt a little bit dejected. He handed me a glass of champagne he had taken from a waiter walking by."Your majesty!" I drew in a steady breath immediately as I heard the sound of her voice. How could I forget.Liliana walked forward with a sort of feral grace that made it clear that she was no prey. Her confidence gaining everyone's attention. She was beautiful, I'd have to say.She wore a purple dress that hugged every curve of her body like a second skin. Her hips sashaying with every step she took. She bowed her head "Your majesty I thought you wouldn't make it" she said, rubbing her hand against Jacobi's arm. He gently pushed her hand away in a casual way, that wouldn't draw too much attention. If she felt embarrassed or hurt by his action, she didn't show it."I decided last minute" he said with a stoic expression.Three more m
