ClaudiaMa’am Petra finished dressing up for me, and we both walked out of my chamber. She helped me oil my messy hair and packed it in a clean bun. She didn't forget the curls and hairpins. She brought them from our packhouse. I got to the living room, and I met Mother sitting on the couch. She was silent, and Alpha Everett stared at her. “Claudia.” She called as soon as she saw me. She rushed to where I stood and embraced me. The scent of her frankincense oil filled my nostrils, and I inhaled it deeply. I closed my eyes and embraced her tighter. I missed everything about her. “I missed you, Mother.” “I missed you too, Child. How are you?” She disengaged and stared at me. She looked at my head, and her countenance changed. I could guess she saw the wound on my head. I felt Alpha Everett’s gaze on us and this made me uncomfortable. I wanted to pour out my heart to her, but I couldn't do it in front of him. “Let’s walk in the garden, Mother.” She nodded and walked to the
EVERETTI boiled in anger as I stood in front of her drawer with the letter her lover had written to her in my hand. I could smell something fishy when I saw her mother and Petra stare at each other after I said I wanted to search the bag. I searched the bag thoroughly, but I didn't see anything. I wasn't satisfied, so I sent one of my omegas to follow Petra to her room. He came back to tell me he found something in her cupboard after searching the room. I read through the letter in disbelief. Claudia planned to run away with him. The door opened, and she walked in with fear written all over her. She saw the letter in my hand, and I saw her chest rise and fall. “What are you doing with that? It is personal!” She smacked but dared not come near me. “Sit.” My voice was calm, and I pointed to her bed. She creased her brows as she gazed at me. “Are you not...” “Sit!” She flinched and hurried to the bed. She sat on it and folded her hands. I walked to the door and turne
“Do I want to die? Yes.”CLAUDIA I was back in the dungeon again. This time I couldn’t stop crying. I was careless about Thorsten’s letter and now he is in trouble. Alpha Everett’s Betas didn’t bother to drag me to the dungeon. I shuffled into it myself. *What is life without my childhood love?* After they had escorted me into the dungeon, I sat on the ground and refused to talk to any of them. I was broken. “You can leave now. I need to do some things in here.” I heard Clarence speak. “What do you want to do this time, Clarence? Alpha Everett can't meet you here, and you know that.” “I know, Volker. But look at this place... She is our Luna, isn't she? Though we can't disobey our Alpha, we can make things easy for her. I need to tidy up a cell for her. The full moon is tonight. At least after her first transformation, she would have a clean place to sleep.” I raised my head when I heard Clarence’s response. I stared at him, and the other Betas to know what they felt about his
CLARENCE I helped her lay on the swept floor. I could still hear her sobbing, and I was sad. I hated to see her that way. I became scared to leave her because she could do something to hurt herself. I thought of ways I could help her, but I saw none. She was the Alpha’s mate, and there was nothing much I could do about it. I was still looking at her when I saw she began to shiver. I creased my brows as I watched her closely. “Luna Claudia, are you okay?” I fell to my knees in front of her and placed my palm on her forehead. Her sweat wet my hand, and her temperature was very high. It heated my palm, and I moved it away in shock. “You are burning up.” I stared at her in terror. I had always been with others on the day of their first transformation, and I had never seen or heard of a temperature so high before. Hers was different, and I didn't know why. “I’ll be back, Luna Claudia. I need to cool down your temperature. This is higher than usual.” I wanted to stand up but she he
EVERETTI rolled onto my side and opened my eyes slightly. Annette's face was near to mine, her eyes closed. She was still sound asleep. We had yet another fantastic sex. I knew how to settle her down when she was in a rage, so I went straight to work. I exhaled deeply and sat up. I lowered my head and moved to the edge of the bed. The full moon was approaching quickly. I checked the clock on her table; it was 10:30 p.m. In less than two hours, the full moon would be visible.I cast another glance behind me at Annette. Her big breasts were exposed because the covers were off her upper body. She divulged a smile when I reached for her breast and gave it a light squeeze. "The full moon will be here in about two hours." Her smile faded and she opened her eyes. "I'm aware, Everett," She uttered. “You should inform your wife about it, not me. She's the only one who's fresh to the system.""I told you that because you haven't eaten yet." I got out of bed and proceeded to the front door
EVERETTI sat in the room's corner, anticipating Claudia's demise. I was looking forward to seeing her sob in agony. She should be made to suffer for a while."I'm not going to transform tonight." It won't be entertaining to watch you in my wolf form." I burst out laughing. "Of course, you're the Alpha, so you're free to refuse to change." But I'm still claiming that I don't give a damn. It makes no difference whether you watch me or not."Soon, I felt the hair on my skin rise. I stood up with a smirk on my face. “It is here.”When I looked at Claudia, she abruptly sat up and tossed her head backward. Her head slumped forward as she rose to her knees. “Aahhh.” I heard her cry as her bones shattered violently. She rested her hand on the floor and raised her head to face the wall. Her form began to shift.I noticed her eyes grow yellow as I stared at them. Her clothes began to shred as her head slumped once again. I could see her backbone trying to rend her skin as she raised her back.
CLAUDIA Shivering and panting, I collapsed to the ground. I couldn't describe the pains I was experiencing in my body. My bones were hurting, and my brain couldn't stop aching. I tried sitting up, but it was the worst decision I'd ever made. When I heard the dungeon door open, I continued to lie on the ground, holding my bare body. I was too exhausted to care who it could be. Dust, stink, and even the smell of burning torches irritated my nose endlessly. It was exhausting!I heard footsteps approaching me quickly, and they were so loud and clear that I felt the person was standing right next to me. As I winced in pain, I shakily blocked my ears with my hands. "How come it's so loud?" I groaned. “Luna Claudia.” In my plugged ears, I heard a familiar voice. It sounded louder than the footsteps this time. With my eyes closed and my hands off my ear, I could smell and feel Clarence quite close to me. "Clarence," I said, as I felt fabric cover my body. “Luna Claudia, are you okay?” I
CLAUDIAI broke the kiss and opened my eyes, but his eyelids were still closed when I glanced at him. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at me. "What were you thinking?" His voice was soothing and calm. "I did it because I wanted to do it badly, and this is the only opportunity I had." With our eyes still locked, I answered. He averted his gaze and walked away. He pressed his finger to his lips and returned his gaze to my face. "I'm sorry if you were offended by what I did..." He abruptly stood up, cutting me off. "You shouldn't have done it, Luna Claudia," “You are the mate of my Alpha." He said without looking at me."Your Alpha isn't fond of me!" He isn't as concerned about me as you are! Clarence, I apologize for making a mistake. It's not going to happen again. I'm sure I mistook your concern for something else."I expected him to correct me and tell me how much he like it when I kissed him, but he didn't. I was humiliated and hurt because he just stared at me. "You should l
