#Vote: She strikes back#
I moved through the bustling pack's grounds, a smile playing on my lips as I exchanged greetings with various pack members who hailed me as their Luna. Despite the warm welcomes and sense of belonging that surrounded me, my thoughts of them, wondering where they might be. The longing to see them again lingered within me, even though I had seen them mere hours ago. I had made breakfast for the two hoping they would already come back but unfortunately, they haven’t. Mike must be hungry. I craved the familiar comfort of Mike’s laughter and the reassuring presence of Alpha Jacob by my side. My mind drifted back to the dream, replaying the vivid scenes of passion with Alpha Jacob. I shook my head, trying to shake off the images. There was no way I would allow him to have such control over me, to dominate my desires like that. But despite my efforts to push the thoughts away, I couldn’t ignore the rush pooling at my core. It was already affecting me, stirring up desires I didn’t want
Lost in thought, I found myself standing in the kitchen, my mind consumed by the events that had unfolded earlier in the day. The memory of Alpha Peter stepping in to stop Alpha Jacob from marking me lingered in my mind. Relief flooded through me as Alpha Jacob was stopped before he could mark me, but it was quickly overshadowed by concern for him. I couldn’t bear to see him hurt, and there was a longing inside me to help him, to ease whatever pain he was feeling. In an attempt to restrain him, Alpha Peter and a few other pack warriors hurried forward but Alpha Jacob’s strength was almost second to which was astonishing to see. I thought he was weak along with his pack. Alpha Jacob marking me stirred a complex mix of emotions within me. While part of me felt a primal urge to submit to him completely, another part of me struggled with the idea of surrendering myself so completely to his dominance. I shook my head, attempting to chase away the thoughts that were threatening to overw
I rushed to his side, my hands trembling as I reached out to him, desperate to offer whatever comfort I could. “Alpha Jacob,” I whispered, my voice barely above a calm tone and I knelt beside him, taking in the extent of his injuries with growing horror. Shock and horror shot through me as I witnessed the transformation happen right before my eyes as I stared into Alpha Jacob’s. His eyes turned a deep scarlet red, his teeth growing into sharp points, and his formerly normal look took on a ferocious aggression. I stumbled back in horror as Alpha Jacob strained against the silver cuffs, his muscles bulging with the effort as he fought to break free. Blood seeped from the cuts where the cuffs dug into his skin, leaving angry marks that served as a painful reminder of his captivity. “Claire, go,” Alpha Jacob growled, his voice low and menacing as he struggled against his restraints. “Don’t come back.” His words hit me like a dagger to the heart, the pain of his rejection cutting de
“No, Claire,” he said with a hard glance. “You won’t be forced to do anything you don’t want to. You would have mated with Alpha Jacob already if you had truly accepted him as your mate.” “Take her away,” with a swift order, he directed the pack warriors to take me away, his decision final and absolute even before I could voice my protest. I felt a wave of despair come over me as the pack warriors started to carry me away, and I had to protest. “Wait! Let me go! You can’t do this to me?!” I pleaded. But my pleas went unheard, overpowered by the soldiers’ unflinching steps as they carried away from my mate’s cell. I wish the moon goddess had blessed me with strength. Just as I was struggling, I heard a voice that caught my attention. I glanced over and saw Sonya striding by, her face filled with confidence and mockery as she took in the scene before her. “Pathetic, as always,” she remarked, her tone dripping with amusement. “No wonder the pack warriors take orders from you. You’re
I barged into the oracle's bedroom, my eyes glaring at her, she must’ve seen this coming yet said nothing to me. “You knew,” I spat, my words dripping with venom. “You knew what would happen to my mate, and you said nothing!” I lashed out at her. Paige laughed a bitter echo of mockery that only fueled my rage. “Of course, I knew,” she replied, “I warned you, Claire. I told you that the moon goddess would not take kindly to your interference.” “And yet you said nothing,” I seethed, my voice trembling with anger. “You let him suffer, you let him suffer, you let him be taken from me, and you did nothing to stop it!” “I will not abandon him,” I declared, “No matter what trials we face, we will face them together. I have decided to be there for my mate.” I repeated to her once again. The oracle’s lips curved into a sardonic smile, her eyes gleaming,” And how is that working out for you so far?” Paige taunted, her voice a bitter. “Why did you come here in the first place?” I asked, cur
Alpha Jacob’s POV Alpha Peter and I stood “Alpha Peter,” I began, “We can’t afford to wait any longer. Our pack is under attack, and every moment we hesitate, our enemies grow bolder. I’m sure you also miss being at your pack. Instead of waiting for rogues to enter and attack our pack, I’ll go and seek them out wherever they’re hiding.” Alpha Peter’s gaze narrowed, his voice skeptical. “And what of Claire?” he pressed, “Are you avoiding her because of your fear that your wolf will act impulsively, so you’re avoiding her?” “Rogues attacking my pack demand immediate attention, Alpha Peter. I won’t let anything jeopardize their safety.” I told him. “Ignoring your mate and your son isn’t the solution, Alpha Jacob. They are part of you. You didn’t do right by them in the past and you’re still not doing right by them now.” “You’ve seen what my wolf would do if he came into contact with Claire,” I growled, “He would harm her, Alpha Peter. I won’t let that happen to her.” “You need to co
Deep in my chest, I felt a twinge of sadness as Mike snuggled closer to me, his small form quivering with the burden of missing his father, Alpha Jacob. It’s been four days now. I could feel that he was alive which was a plus I might be the one that ends up taking his life! Daniel was sitting close by, his presence providing a small friendly comfort amid Jacob’s sudden disappearance. However, his support was unable to compensate for Jacob’s absence. I had tons of emotions when Alpha Peter arrived. A part of me was appreciative he was here, thinking he could know where Alpha Jacob was. However, there was a part of me that harbored animosity towards him for stopping Alpha Jacob from marking me as his mate and stopping this whole dilemma. “Claire.” I was suddenly taken aback by Alpha Peter as he made his way inside. I faked a smile as I welcomed Alpha Peter, trying to hide the inner distress that was screaming within me. His reluctant attitude made me even more irritated. “Daniel,
Alpha Jacob’s POV As I led my pack warriors through the dense forest, my thoughts were consumed by an overwhelming desire for Claire and my son. With every step, and every rustle of the leaves, my mind drifted to images of her, her scent lingering in my senses, driving me wild with longing. My thoughts were completely absorbed by my desire to be with Claire, to feel her skin against mine, and to lose myself in her thighs, even though our mission to find rogues was urgent. There was an intense, almost painful, primal yearning coursing through my veins to take her, to make her mine. As we ventured deeper into the forest, our senses alert for any sign of rogue activity, we suddenly came across a group of five rogues lurking in the shadow. Without hesitation, I signaled to my pack warrior to prepare for an attack. With a fierce growl, I launched myself at the rogues, my movements swift and calculated. The element of surprise was on our side as we caught them off guard, our coordinate
