"Wakey, wakey, bitch."I sat up straight and stretched, a soft groan escaped my lips as I came face to face with John- clearly, he had nothing in his life except to taunt and torture me. Nothing would be coming out of his mouth when I'd snap his neck and watch him bleed to death.John was young, trimmed black hair, sea-green eyes that anyone could drown in, chiseled body with perfected abs and a lot more I could swoon over but I didn't. Male wolves were known to have strength and muscles as they were used to training all the time. Till now, whoever I saw, was healthier than I could ever be.A ray of sunlight came in straight through the small window that touched the ceiling. My hair was still a mess and my body was soaked in dirt, I needed a shower immediately, especially after what the Alpha had done to me last night "Come on, wake up," He repeated again while looking at me. I took my time to get off the bed and once I did, he grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the dark, prison roo
"You fooled everyone here, Clara ." I heard Mr. Jameson speak. His voice was filled with grief and disappointment.The worst part of this all was facing Mr. Jameson-after all, I had betrayed his trust. "I had no option," I replied. I said, We walked into the cold basement once again and visions of last night appeared. The air sent chills to my bare skin. It took me hours to fall asleep and now I was here again. Thankfully, there was a bit of sunlight so I wasn't as scared as I was last night."What is your story?" Mr. Jameson asked as he sat down on my bed. I was caught by surprise when he asked that. No one had ever dared to learn about my past and I don’t feel the need to tell anyone."Nothing special," I shrugged it off as it wasn't anything but my past still burned inside me every single day."Tell me, Clara. Where do you come from?" He folded his hands across his chest and waited for an answer. "I won't tell anyone if you don't want me too." "Why do you want to know in the fi
John showed up a few moments after Mr. Jameson left and I was quite surprised when he was the one who got me food.After settling the tray in front of me, he moved back to the corner and used his phone for the rest of the time. I didn't understand his presence when I clearly wasn't doing anything except for eating. I picked up the metal fork and glared at it for a moment. John would be dead and it wouldn't even take me a minute."Don't try to be smart, you still can't shift and I have way more strength than you came to imagine, rogue." His eyes raised as he spoke. That was the sole problem. -I couldn't shift and I was weak with aconite running in my veins. But I could still kill him. He is so annoying. After finishing up, John took everything out and locked the door. I groaned and walked back and forth. I wasn't going to spend the rest of my life here. I needed fresh air, sunshine, and humans. These male wolves were going to be the death of me and I was already in heat. My insides
"I need my things!" I stated as I stood in front of the Alpha. If they were going to keep me here, I needed my things from my apartment and my Jeep that was probably abandoned in the middle of nowhere."I don't care. No one is going to get them for you," he rolled his eyes at me.The lunch was amazing and delicious in every way but I needed a lot more than food."Fine. I won't find your mate then,"The Alpha lined his lips together, and after a moment, he asked, "What things do you want?""Everything from my apartment. Briefs are not going to replace panties and clearly you don't have menstrual products here so I will bleed on this Egyptian rug of yours" I said while looking down at the soft rug that stretched all the way to the entire room."Fine, fine, Jesus, shut up!! James" The Alpha yelled.Mr. Jameson came forward and said, "Yes?" "You know her apartment, right? Get her things from there everything." He ordered."And my Jeep,""You're not going anywhere. You don't need a car,"
When the Alpha kissed me, the raw emotion came spilling out of me in a silent moan for more. He entwined his fingers through my raven locks and my back met with the stoned wall behind me. My insides tightened as he pressed his warm body against my heated core.Fuck. His kisses were gentle but at the same time rough and dominating. It happened so quickly that I didn't even get time to think. It wasn't supposed to go like this-I wasn't supposed to kiss him-not again. I couldn't let him touch me again.The Alpha pulled away and I took in a deep breath. His brown eyes locked with mine as he stared deep into my soul. He didn't seem to be satisfied so he moved back immediately."It wasn't supposed to happen," I heard him mumble. I wasn't a bad kisser and my mouth clearly smelt good. My fingers reached up to my lips and I smiled, the knot in my stomach finally loosened and my wolf felt satisfied. A kiss was far more than enough."What do you mean?" I questioned the Alpha."I'm saving myself
Sunlight peeked through the clouds as I stood outside the house. Aconite was still running in my veins as I was injected with it again. Clearly, Martin and his peasants didn't want me to shift. I was stronger as a wolf but even as a human, I could take them all down but now, who wanted to be injured?"James, you will be leaving with John and Willy whilst I will take Clara." The Alpha said to Mr. James. I shoved my hands inside my pockets and rocked back and forth. "And, you will follow us."A car stopped in front of us and inside I found john with another male who I hadn't seen earlier. Handsome. James got inside the car and it drove out of the driveway constructed inside the house. "My keys?" I lengthened my hand towards the Alpha."What?" His brows furrowed. "I'm going to drive," I replied."And who told you that?" Still stern and solid on his evil behavior. Breaking this man was going to be difficult."Because I'm following the scent and I know where I had smelled that female bef
The wolves circling around were panting, stepping closer and getting ready to attack us. We stepped into their territory without permission--this was already coming in our way."Don't get out," The Alpha said to me before stepping out from my Jeep. I swallowed hard as they went closer to him. The wolves definitely belonged to a pack as they smelled nice.My heart winced at the thought of them attacking my mate-I didn't want him to be harmed."We come in peace," The Alpha said and the wolves let down their hold before stepping back. "Take me to your Alpha," He added. The big brown wolf nodded his head and led the pack towards the side of the road. He seemed to be the Beta of this pack as he was larger and stronger compared to the other wolves. Alpha Martin got back inside the car and ordered me, "Follow the wolves," I obeyed him for the first time and followed the wolves as we didn't have any other option available.We passed the forest and several old warehouses. The wolves stopped o
I blinked--confused and shattered as Martin walked out of the room after silencing me down. I dared not to speak another word, I was too afraid of what might just happen if I argued or fought back. I understood the sudden change in his behaviour, males tend to be more hurt and in fury when their mates reject them and Martin believed that his mate had rejected him.I loosened my fists and released myself from the vexation that was settling at the back of my head. Clearly, Martin didn't deserve a mate but I wasn't going loose myself for him. It took me a moment before I calmed down and sat on the bed I had been given. It was small, the room seemed like a maid's quarter but either way, it could work out for the night.I switched off the lights and dozed into my thoughts that kept me awake during the rest of the night. From a distance, I could hear the chatter of the men, the agonizing laughters that clawed my soul, I despised male wolves for a reason-_especially Alpha's. I twisted and tu
The two-hour sleep provided me with the comfort I was looking for. I woke up with an agonizing pain between my legs. Groaning, I sat up straight against the headboard and found Martin away from the bed. It was almost morning and it seemed like he hadn't slept."What are you looking at?" I asked.He lifted his head and glanced, "Nothing," I heard a click before the phone on his hand was switched off and thrown over the table. "Nothing you need to worry about,"I grew more concerned, "What is it?"Martin didn't answer me. "Nothing,"I hopped off the bed and grabbed his hand before he could scurry away, "Tell me,""I was informed a weeks ago-before everything happened, that there was a gathering of the werewolf council in Queens," He replied, narrowing his eyes down and grabbing his phone again.Queens was a city nearby, also filled with werewolves.It was ruled by the werewolf council and the elders who resided there. Most of the laws and punishments came from them, the oldest and smart
"Another vision?" The bed creaked as Martin rose and asked.The blood drained from my face as I placed the cold glass of wine back on the table before standing up."No," I huffed, "Just a nightmare," Philip was the terrible nightmare I had seen tonight after seeing George and everyone.George and I were of the same age but he was never forced into any training. He went to school whilst I was dragged away from it. Davis not only ruined my mental health but he also came between my studies.He crushed my dreams and hopes. It wasn't just his fault.It wasPhilip’s fault as well and that bastard was long dead."Come here," Martin said, lengthening his arms.I mustered up courage and got over the bed to lay beside him. His arms curled around my body that was only covered with a thin, satin robe. I placed my head over his chest and tried to remove the terrifying images of Davis and Philip."What happened?""Just a nightmare,""What was it about?" His low, raspy voice was a music to my ears.
When we returned to the entrance of the packhouse, I found a few people standing outside with the guards beside them. I moved aside from Martin and looked over at them."George?" He turned around and looked at me."Clara?"I laughed, grabbing him and hugging him tightly, "What are you doing here?""Didn't you say that we could come here?""Oh, yeah, I forgot."I stopped smiling when I heard a growl behind me. I looked behind and found Martin, not really happy."This is George, we used to study together when we were children and he was my best friend then." I explained to Martin before he assumed anything else."Is that all?"I nodded my head, "Yes,"Okay, I will be in. Let me know if you need anything," Martin said before walking inside the packhouse and ignoring everyone's existence.I was grateful to get my old pack members inside his packhouse and Martin showed a nice gesture to me by agreeing. The packhouse was barely filled, only unmated wolves stayed here."Oh my god, is that yo
It was early in the morning, the sun was shining, the birds were chirping and the cars were honking at each other. It was relaxing to live in the city. The air was a little polluted but still fresh to me.I found myself wandering around unknown streets. There was a cafe to my left and a saloon to my right-both I've never seen before. As I walked further, I sniffed out a sweet and floral smell of the flower shop resting by the corner.Daisies.They were my favorite- just perfect in smell. I dragged in a few deep breaths and smiled before turning away from the daisies. It had been long since I last saw them."Would you like to get some of them?We just got them in," A woman walked outside of the floral shop and asked me.A wide smile spread across her face and her eyes shimmered with happiness.What was happening?"No. I was just looking at them. They are beautiful," I replied, running my finger through the white petal. They were soft upon touch and even though I wanted them, I couldn't
Martin stopped and skimmed over his owns word. That elder wasn't wrong when he said that Martin was a direct descendant of the Redwood Brothers."I come from the same bloodline," He finally blurted the truth out.I-leaned forward, excited. I was mated to a fucking royal. "So, really? How many of you are there?""Everyone's dead," He rumbled."What?""My family were the last ones of the Redwood bloodline, we were directly related to one of the brothers and we didn't have any cousins, so, it's safe to say that everyone is dead.""But, you're alive!" I exclaimed, confused."You should be glad," He shot a wink at me and I sat back straight."No one knows that you're from the Redwood bloodline," Martin took another gulp of his wine and continued, "Yeah, I've kept a secret or two. My family didn't want anyone to know either as the Aries Brother's only objective is to kill us, all and my parents feared them.""Oh," I breathed, realizing that this was bad.Horrible.If Martin was the only on
After being marked, I escaped in the bathroom to clean up myself as Martin had ruined my clothes. It had been a few minutes and I couldn't find the courage to see him again. Listening to the water hitting the tiles bought me the comfort I was looking for. My heart stopped racing and I-leaned against the warm, wet wall of the bathroom, my thoughts still spiraling. What had just happened? Did Martin claimed being in love with me?My hands slicked across my bare body, feeling the heat of the shower and the bathroom. Gathering my thoughts, I closed my eyes and twisted my hard nipples around my finger. The mark on my neck stood obvious but the reasons behind it were unknown. It wasn't necessary to mark your mate again.Maybe Martin just wanted to bruise me.My eyes snapped open and a low gasp escaped my throat as Martin walked inside the bathroom, naked. As soon as he got under the water, I wrapped my hands around his head and puckered out my lips to kiss him. "You were taking too long," H
The ride back home Broadway was steady and smooth. I slept halfway and woke up a few hours later by Martin who took my hand and pulled me out of the car when we reached the packhouse. It was early in the morning, the sun peeked through the thick clouds, promising a bright day ahead of us.Everything was over. It was all settled.Everyone from the Golden eagle pack were going to settle down in Broadway, under me, as their Alpha and so were my parents. Over that,Davis was dead.I yawned and stretched before going inside, "I'm going to go take a shower," I whispered, stopping beside Martin. "You should sleep,""Yeah," he sighed, his eyes racing around the packhouse. We barely spoke about anything during the car ride as I was sleeping for the most of the time and Martin wasn't willing to spill anything about his parents or his past. "I've some work so I will see you later," My mouth dropped as his tongue slipped inside, awakening me entirely. I curled my fingers around his hair and gave i
"I know it sounds crazy_"Martin grabbed my shoulder and tugged me forward, "It is crazy,Clara. There are a lot of rogues here, and I cannot danger my own pack by bringing them to the city.""Please, just for a while a few months.They won't harm anyone, you have my word. They can be a part of my pack if they want to be. It's my family, Martin." I begged. I couldn't leave them all here, without anything."Fine but if anything goes wrong, you'll pay the price and you know the ways I like payments." He whispered in my ears before backing away.I squealed in joy and jumped on him,"Thank you," The scent of his hair and his cologne calmed me down and took away all my worries. "I'm going to go talk to the elders.""Fine, I will be around. Give me a call when you're done," He kissed my lips and then walked away.I turned around and peace blinked at me, still at the same spot where I had left him, "So, you're an Alpha now?" He asked, breaking the embarrassing silence."Yes and I'd love to hav
The snow was thick on the roads but Martin managed to drive through it. The parks were empty, and there were no children playing or giggling. There was a supermarket open and that's where Martin stopped his car and walked out, his features hardening with cold. I stepped out along with him, worry drenching my thoughts as I moved through the snow and entered the supermarket."It's closed!" The man yelled, slamming his counter shut and grabbing his bags. I recognized him, he belonged to Golden eagle, Mr. Andrew, it was his supermarket. "Mr. Andrew?" I asked, approaching him.He raised his head and looked at me, his eyes burning into mine, "Clara ," he breathed, remembering me."Yeah, it's me. Do you know where my parents are or peace?" I asked him."They are in the mayor's office," Mr.Andrew peeked through my shoulder, his fear rose when he found that Martin was standing behind me. "Along with the others," He continued."Thank you," I gave him a smile and turned around to leave with Mar
