Chapter 3: Claimed

REBEKKA

I let out a short gasp as I felt myself free falling into the nothingness below.

Suddenly I didn’t want to die again, whatever it was that I was feeling before, the overwhelming fear of death seized me and I wanted nothing more but to live.

I screamed at the top of my lungs and flailed my hands helplessly, praying and hoping that a miracle would happen.

How could I be so stupid as to think that the way to deal with all the pain and embarrassment was to kill myself?

I didn’t want to die, I didn’t know what I had to live for but still, I wanted to live, I was not ready to die yet.

“Help me!” I screamed and closed my eyes feeling gravity drive me downwards.

A warm palm closed around my wrist in a tight grip and I suddenly stopped falling.

I opened my eyes, they were still wide with fear as I looked up at my savior.

Looking down at me was a very handsome man.

I could not make out all his facial features because the moon was behind him and casting a dark shadow over his face but I could see the outline of his strong jaw, his long black hair billowing in the breeze and those enchanting blue pupils that looked as if they could see through me.

Effortlessly, he raised me up as he got back up to his feet then he dropped me down on my feet gently.

My legs felt weak and I crumbled to the floor.

He was standing over me, still backing the moon, “That was very stupid…”

His voice was flat, not insulting or demeaning.

“Thank you,” I said in a timid voice as I looked down at the grass around me.

“You saved Stephan’s life, didn’t you?”

I looked up at him.

Did this stranger just address the alpha’s only son by his name as if they were equals?

I nodded.

My interest was rising slowly as the adrenaline eased out of my system and left me shaking.

“What is your name, girl?”

“Rebekka,” I said and then averted my gaze again.

“Rebekka, tell me, how does someone with a Bloodline such as yours end up as a slave?”

I looked up at him and my brows furrowed.

He cocked his head at me and then he dropped down to the grass too and sat with his legs crossed.

Finally the moonlight hit his face and I saw his full features, high cheekbone, pointy nose and a light stubble. He was incredibly handsome… How did a man like this exist?

“How did you end up as a slave Rebekka?” he asked, staring at me with those probing blue pupils.

“I… was born one,” came my timid reply.

He scoffed, “What about your parents?”

“I don’t have any,” I answered.

Wait, was I having an actual conversation with someone?

This must have been the longest someone has gone talking to me without shouting or uttering some sort of insult.

What was the catch?

I was waiting for the other shoe to drop, surely, it was not possible for someone to be nice to me.

“Your Master,” he shook his head, “The doctor, Purcell, he didn’t tell you anything about where he found you or who your parents were?”

I shook my head sideways.

He seemed very interested in my origins, the fact that someone was even giving me this type of genuine attention just felt wrong.

I fiddled with my fingers.

“Hmm,” he stroked his stubble. “You went from being the slave girl who saved Stephan’s life to being the slave girl he rejected as his mate.”

Again there was no malice in his voice but that didn’t stop my cheeks from burning with embarrassment and my heart aching with pain.

“That’s okay, I am glad he rejected you!”

I looked up at him, tears were starting to well up in my eyes, why was he saying this?

He gave me a sexy smile that made my broken heart flutter a little, “From now, you are mine!”

I blinked, “What?”

“I am claiming you as my mate… you are mine!”

Was this some sort of joke? Was this handsome stranger making fun of me?

I got to my feet, then bowed low, “Thank you very much for saving my life, sire, but I have to be on my way now, my master would be worried about me.” I started to walk off.

“Are you rejecting me?”

The seriousness in his voice stopped me in my tracks. Was he being serious? “Sire, if this is a joke, please stop it.”

“Does it sound like I am joking?” his tone was even much more serious than before and it caught me off guard.

He got up and turned to face me, “Rebekka… Kent right?”

I nodded.

“I am Caleb Chase and I declare you as my mate. From today, you will be under my protection and you will be mine!”

My mouth hung open, I tried to speak but the words didn't just come out.

What the hell was going on now?

I didn’t know who this man was but he just saved my life and now he was claiming me as his?

A part of me could not help but think that this was some prank by the pack people to further humiliate me.

“She claims that the alpha’s son is her mate but throws herself at the first man that she sees.”

I didn’t want to believe him, how could I?

He walked closer to me and used the index finger on his left hand to lift up my jaw so that I could look up to him.

He was so close to me, I began to breathe hard and when his finger touched me, I felt a trickle of electricity course through my body.

“From today, you are mine,” he said up close, the words washing over me.

I opened my mouth to speak but then... his lips pressed against mine, silencing me!

No way… Claude must have been pulling my legs.“Haha, very funny Claude, you have outdone yourself this time around!” I was not smiling.Claude looked at me with disbelief, “Wait, don’t tell me you don’t even know who saved you?” he chuckled.I stifled a growl, was he being serious right now? I looked back again, in a faint hope that I would catch another glimpse of her but she was gone.The party was back to full boom now and people were swaying and bobbing to the beat with plastic cups in their hands.If I saw her again, would I even recognize her? I doubted it.“Wow, Stepha

I let out a moan and my legs weakened as his lips sought more of mine.More as a reflex, I planted my feet and then pulled away.As soon as I did that, it was as if the magic was broken, my head turned. I staggered as my eyes danced around.I felt like I was moving around in circles.I stumbled.Damon leaned forward, his strong arm wrapped around my waist and he pulled me upright and held me close.My heart was thumping in my chest, Gosh, he was so close to me, my breasts were almost squished against his masculine chest.I tried subtly to wriggle myself free but he held me firmly but gently.He used his left index finger to lift up my face to meet his downwards gaze, “You are mine...”Gently he leaned forward, his arm still around the small of my back and then he kissed me again.Holy Lunar!My body felt like butter that was put on fire, I melt

How could Damon do something like that? I looked from him to Stephan and then back to him again.Did he realize what he just did? It did not look like it did, if he did, he should be shaking in fear and pouring out apologies instead of standing his ground and getting ready for a fight.Damon’s eyes narrowed as he watched Stephan, the way a wolf watches its enemy.Stephan growled once more, the crimson in his eyes glowing more fiercely. He bared his teeth, “Mark my words… you are going to regret this!” he turned and then he stormed off.“Lord Stephan,” I was propelled forward before I could even think. I needed to go after him, I ended up pleading with him, to explain that it was an accident and that Damon never meant to do that.A strong hand caught a hold of my arm and held me back.“Let him go, Rebekka…”I turn

He was a nobody, I was the son of the great alpha Michael, he was nothing to me.Just as I left the thicket of trees behind, I staggered slightly and then caught myself.Don’t tell me the dizziness was also from the punch?Impossible, I must have had way too much alcohol and because I was recovering, my metabolism was having difficulty burning it all and keeping me sober.I could hear the greetings from various pack members as I made my way back to my chambers but I didn’t answer any.The back of my neck felt hot and I was gnashing the fuck out o

So much had happened in such a short space of time that it felt like a very long time had passed.As I rolled about on my small mattress, I could not help but think of all that had happened. My own share of the loot that I had been given was still hidden somewhere in my room with me.Thinking about it just made me think about Lord Stephan, his fiery red eyes as he screamed “What the Fuck!”I still could not place why he was so angry, it did not make sense to me, why would the son of the alpha give a hoot about a nobody like me or what I was doing?I tried looking at it from his own perspective, but I just could not see it. I rolled again on my mattress as my fear and apprehension returned, “You are going to regret this!”I remembered the viciousness in his voice when he said that… Why did Damon have to go as far as punching him in the face?I was even more surprised by the fact that Lord St

The truth however is more sinister than that…” Tyrell continued.“Under our very noses, our heir was attacked by warlocks!”My eyes widened with surprise, this was the first time I was hearing of this. I too, like the general public, thought that Stephan’s misfortune stemmed from a hunting expedition gone wrong.It sounded silly, the supposed heir to the throne almost dying after embarking on a hunting expedition, it just made Stephan look impotent in my eyes.Now this? This was a surprise.“With all due respect chief, what happens to the heir to the alpha is not any concern

I was right to be worried, Damon was nothing but bad news and I needed to get her away from the influence of a piece of shit like him.Claude was still in my room when I returned. When the door slammed, he looked up from the bottle.“You back?” his voice slurred.I frowned and stared at him, “For crying out loud, it is the early hours of the morning and you are already at the bottom of the bottle!”“As if you are one to talk…” he replied airily, “What happened, did you meet him?”I returned to my seat, I was still racking my brain on what to do next, “I don’t want to talk about it.”Claude sighed, “You never want to talk about anything

I blinked as I felt the soft rays of the sunlight filter through the curtains and hit me.What time was it? How long had I been out of it?I strained to sit up, my body felt very heavy like someone was sitting on my chest. I took my right hand to the side of my head and then brushed it over my face.Peeling faces, very crimson eyes!These two images flashed through my mind and I suddenly became alert, all the lethargy leaving me.I jumped to my feet and ran barefooted to the mirror at the side and looked into it, I let out a breath of relief.My eyes were back to the old nondescript color. But what happened? Last time, they were very crimson, just like…“Lord Stephan!” I yelped suddenly and then cupped my mouth, afraid that someone might have heard me.It was all coming back to me now, I had just escaped the thugs Lady Vanessa sent after me when I had some sort of

She came down there to supervise his demise but she never planned to actually face him.That was the whole point of a well calculated ambush. How did everything go wrong?

Would it kill you to show some sympathy?”I sneered in his face, “Would it kill you to stop pretending and kissing ass all the time? Could you not show your true self for once?”A low growl escaped Vane’s throat as he glared at me, I could see the visible effort he was putting in to control himself.“If I were you, I would be careful how I talked, the Chief is not around to keep you safe any longer,” he said and then looked away from me.I grinned, “That’s more like it, say things like you mean it, life’s more fun that way.” He looked back at me and then he

I could not see it. Just a second ago, before her monstrous transformation, she licked her bloodied nails.If she scratched me with mere nails, I should have effortlessly healed from it but the fact that I wasn’t healing meant that she used silver. Where was it?If I didn’t know, I could not recklessly attack her again, I could end up dead. My heart was thumping in my chest, this was terrifying and at the same time exciting.As wolves, we loved to fight, it was our nature and ever since I was little, I had been fighting but as I grew older, the fights grew easier and easier until it didn’t feel like a fight anymore.That was why I was so stunned by Damon, he was the first wolf who I had ever met that was able to really hurt me

Once again I didn’t think so but then again, it was hard to explain what had just happened here.“Sire, no survivors and the Wolf Killer is not among the dead,” another officer reported.Baylor was not here… where could he be? Still with Lady Cecile if I was to guess, what about the Old Crone?Stephan had been sent after her. Did he succeed in getting her or was there still a chance that the ambush could happen?I realized that I was just doing wishful thinking to keep hope alive and I hated it. But I was not wrong,

I sighed, all I’ve wanted since he came here was to rock his jaw with my fist but I was scared of doing that in front of the alpha.Damon’s whole plan was to make me look bad in front of the alpha, I could not give him the satisfaction of success.“What else but to shoot his mouth off,” I said.“I don’t know why you tolerate him, if I were you, I would have fucked him up a long time ago,” Claude said.I chuckled and then became serious, “We have a new mission.”“Oh c’mon,” Claude threw up his hand in frustration. “Can’t we catch a break?”“It is from the alpha himself,” I looked at him.Claude stiffened and became serious as he met my gaze.“That’s what I thought… gather the rest of the squad immediately, I’ll brief them.”He ran off.Not long after that, Claude, Flint, Louis and Hayes were all gathered round

If the Supreme Mother came out of hiding all the way to Dragon’s Foot then it was likely that she had somehow found out that he was here.If that was the case then allowing herself to be sighted was done to lure him into some sort of trap. If West was where she wanted him to go, the west was definitely where he would not go.It had been a long time since he had been out and actively involved in a hunt like this but his senses had not dulled one bit. He knew Dragon’s Foot better than most, he had explored the shit out of the place in his younger days.By studying the map, he had guessed where she could possibly be if her plan was indeed to set an ambush for him in the west.If the commanders were as good as Chief Tyrell hyped them up to be, they would have no problem handling the witches

Alpha Michael had managed to fuck me in the most unbelievable way possible and now I was left holding my balls in my hands.I got up from the tree trunk that I was sitting on and looked at him, “If I were you, I would stop baring my teeth and lock in.”“Yes sire!” he saluted and then ran off.I sighed, I was not going to give up that easily. There were still witches lying in ambush in the west. As long as we walked into that ambush, I was sure that I could find a chance to take out the alpha.This would have gone a lot better if the damn Old Crone and the Wolf Killer were in the loop and knew what our plan was.I could not believe that right now I was needing the help of the wolf killer of all people. He was good at what he did, with him at my side, I would feel a lot more confident taking on
