Chapter 22 - Broken hearts and lifechanging mistakes.

2022-11-03 14:00:34Leah’s POV
Eli softly put me down on my bed and I quickly closed my eyes. Would he declare me as his true mate now? My mind was still filled with everything I could remember from the dream, but this time there was a little more than before. However, when Eli pulled away from me, I grabbed hold of his arm.
“Don’t leave, please.” He was my mate. He was supposed to stay with me and claim me. I couldn’t stop my body and mind from begging him to stay.
“GET YOUR GRUBBY LITTLE HANDS OFF HIM!” His chosen mate’s voice tore through our moment and my heart nearly stopped when Eli let go of me and walked over to her. I couldn’t stand looking any longer when he softly placed his hands on her shoulders and whispered something I couldn’t hear. It all finally sank in when he gave her a soft kiss on her cheek and she glared at me before leaving.

Claimed Chapter 23 - Eli will never pick me!
Leah’s POV I couldn’t believe what was happening to me. It still felt as if it was all a dream, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that it was all very real. I decided to find out as much as I could so I could eventually make the right choice and asked to be moved from the kitchen crew to the cleaning crew. The fact that I had been ill on my birthday was enough to convince our group leader to put me on light duty for a couple of days and I was moved to the main house for cleaning. Their idea of light duty was vastly different from mine, but I was close to where I wanted to be. As soon as I heard her shrill voice, I knew I’d made a huge mistake. “What the hell are you doing here?” Our future Luna squealed from behind me and I closed my eyes, composing myself first before I said something I would regret. “I was sick so they moved me to cleaning duty.” I didn’t bow my head to her on purpose and it didn’t go unnoticed. She wasn’t the Luna yet! “ELI!” Her screaming echoed throughout the e

Leah’s POV I couldn’t shake the awful feeling of Deja vu as I ran through the forest and found the roadside diner, but reality struck when I walked in and recognized the people. It had all been real! It wasn’t a dream! Meeting Sebastian, Eli dying, and the moon goddess! I actually met the moon goddess and she’s given me a second chance! My head started to pound as I tried to remember exactly what she said. I needed to remember! I found a car outside the diner that I could hotwire and I wasn’t even surprised that I knew how to do it. I remembered the car the moment I saw it, and dropped my bag in the back seat. As I pulled out into the road, I took a deep breath. I had to find somewhere I could lie low for a couple of days. I needed to think. There was no use in starting all of this all over again since I already knew the outcome. I wondered if Sebastian’s mate was still alive or if she had passed away yet. If I could save her, maybe I could save us all, but that wouldn’t be possible.

Leah’s POV Over the next couple of weeks, I drove around the region constantly, staying just a step ahead of Eli, but the same problem I had the first time around was slowly sticking its head out and I would soon have to stop running. I was fast heading in the direction of the first time I went through all of this, but my savings were running out and I still had no idea how I would approach Sebastian. If his mate was still alive, it would be of no use for me to walk in there and proclaim that somewhere in the future-past I was his mate. Until I could figure out a way to know for sure whether his mate was alive, I had to keep my distance. I found a roadside diner that wasn’t one of the places I had worked for before and this time, I didn’t apply to be a waitress. I applied to be an assistant cook, which I knew I was good at. That way, very few people would see me come and go and Eli’s men wouldn’t have such an easy task at finding me. I made sure to tell my new boss that I had an abus

Leah’s POV Soon didn’t happen as soon as I thought it would. I sighed as I looked at the date before rushing off to work. It was the one-year anniversary of the day I left my pack and I still hadn’t figured out a way to find out if Sebastian’s mate was still alive. I was wasting the previous time the moon goddess had given me and Eli’s men were getting closer and closer to finding me each time. Time would soon run out, but at least then I would know Sebastian’s mate wasn’t alive anymore. Wow! That was morbid! Wishing someone’s mate was dead so I could be with him. “Leah! There’s phone for you!” The friendly owner of the diner called and I wiped my hands before going to her office. My thoughts were still on Sebastian when I answered, not thinking. “Leah!” The soft growl in Eli’s voice made my heart skip a beat. “Eli,” I sighed. “How did you find me?” I should have known that he would eventually find me, and I rolled my eyes as he explained that he simply told them he was a relative
Last Updated : 2022-11-07Claimed Chapter 27 - So many questions!
Leah’s POV I was dumbstruck! My heart stopped beating and my blood froze in my veins. How was it even possible?! Of all the damn places in the world, he had to walk into mine! Did the damn moon goddess hate me that much?! “Come on, dearie.” My new boss’s voice burst through my thoughts and I came alive again. “We have customers that need attention.” She smiled and I was about to explain when she shoved me through her office door. “Good luck!” She grinned from ear to ear and slammed the damn door in my face! I was in a total state of shock! I hadn’t seen Sebastian since the day he killed Eli! Yet, he looked so much younger. Had my time already run out already?! I wiped my sweaty palms on my small bartender’s apron and cleared my throat. There was only one way out of this and that was the front door. If I walked quickly, I saw his nose lift a little as he sniffed the air and I ducked behind the bar waving the barman closer. “Can you help them?” My eyes pleaded for him to help me just
Last Updated : 2022-11-08Claimed Chapter 28 - Different, but the same, but different.
Leah’s POVSebastian’s room was also slightly different. The modern kitchen appliances from before weren’t there, and the closet door was locked. It hadn’t been locked when I was here before. The bedding was a different colour and there was a blanket on the couch that made me wonder if his mate was still alive or if she’d died recently. I didn’t want to push the subject even though I was dying to know. Sebastian was rushing around the place clearing up, which was also a total contrast to what it was before. Almost as if this time around nobody came around to clean! I dropped my bag and walked over to the balcony that I had escaped from before and almost breathed a loud sigh of relief to see the stairs leading outside.“I …” Sebastian hesitated. “I would have offered you something to eat, but I haven’t been out shopping lately.” His words made me bur
Last Updated : 2022-11-09Claimed Chapter 29 - The moment I fell head over heels in love.
Leah’s POV “And have a stronger enemy that wants to ruin me?” He scoffed. “No. I can’t do that to anyone.” He shook his head. “Oh?” I felt a little shocked. “But you can kill her?” I was feeling utterly defensive. Remembering the last time I saw him, and what he did, I had to remind myself before I did or said something that I couldn’t take back, that he was a different person now. He was a little younger and something must have happened that made him act the way he did. The moon goddess wouldn’t have given me a second chance for no reason. I sighed heavily. “No, I won’t kill her.” He looked sad. “I don’t know what to do. If I let her go, she is definitely going to publish that story. I can’t imagine keeping her locked away for the rest of her life. I couldn’t turn her as I explained.” I could see he was really torn up about this, but there was more to it. I could feel it through our bond. I had to change the subject because this was leading us down the wrong road fast. “Tell me so
Last Updated : 2022-11-10Claimed Chapter 30 - Life changing decisions.
Leah’s POV My mind was made up. I had to find a way to reject Eli in this life before Sebastian found out who it was. I needed to finish that chapter of my life for good. I couldn’t keep doing this. I couldn’t be the reason for Sebastian killing Eli. As we walked into the dining room, silence fell. I took the time to look at the faces of the people I already knew, but they didn’t know me yet. They looked so happy to see what they thought was their future Luna. Gossip could spread so damn fast throughout the packs, that I knew, all of them already knew who I was. I couldn’t help myself. I felt as if I was finally home. The memories of Sebastian killing Eli no longer mattered. I was home. I had found my mate, and it was a brand-new beginning for all of us. A new life where I could finally live in peace and have everything I dreamed of. I thanked Sebastian as he pulled out my chair for me and sat down blushing brightly when I looked at all the faces looking back at us. “Now, you’ve all

Claimed Chapter 67 - The end
Leah’s POV I was speechless! All of the wolves around my son had shifted completely or at least partially and they were in agony, but he was just standing there looking at them. I looked at the moon and prayed to the goddess one last time. She had to help him! She just had to! A tear rolled down the side of my cheek as I looked at the moon coming out from behind the trees. As the last of its rays finally shone down on all of us, our son let out a howl that shuddered the ground. He hit the floor on all fours as his body started to twist in the most uncomfortable ways and bones snapped into their new places. He howled again and the pain he was going through could be felt in it. The pack howled in reply to give him strength as he slowly changed into his new form. He wasn’t entirely a wolf, but he also wasn’t entirely human or a vampire. He stood up on his hind legs and his arms and hands, which were meant to be legs and paws, were still arms and hands, but they were black and covered in
Claimed Chapter 66 - Time goes by too fast!
Leah’s POVI nearly had a heart attack when Sebastian told me that Nicolas had contacted him and advised him that Beverly was still alive first of all, and secondly, those two were going to get married! I was itching to get all the details since I always felt horrible about leaving her behind with Nathaniel, but Sebastian was being a typical male. He didn’t ask! I couldn’t very well call Beverly up like I would a friend and tell her to dish! I had to just accept that she had hopefully finally found love and peace after what had been done to her.Elana had started to get up and walk about the top floor and I was almost convinced she was teasing her little brother because she could. I had never realized that I could love two people as much as I loved these two children of ours. I still kept a hawk's eye on our son. We had no idea what the hell was going to happen to him. Would he become a vampire or a werewolf or be both like his father? Nicolas had been kind enough to offer their help
Claimed Chapter 65 - For love or revenge?
Beverly’s POV“Beverly, I have to be honest with you before this goes any further.” I frowned. Great! I misread his signals and now he is going to send me to some forgotten palace where I wouldn’t know anybody and … “I can see the wheels turning in that pretty little head of yours and I can tell you that it’s not what you think.” He smiled, tucking a stray piece of my hair behind my ear before taking my hand and leading me into my bedroom. He closed the door behind us and locked it which kind of scared and excited me at the same time! I was surprised when he walked up to me and slipped his arms around my waist and I felt myself go a little rigid. I’d been disappointed far too many times in my life. I have no idea why I even thought this time things could be different!“I’ve fallen in love with you.” He smiled and I felt my cheeks turn bright red as I gaped at him with wide eyes.“I’m sorry.” I was swallowing air like a damn fish out of the water! “I don’t think I heard you right. Did
Claimed Chapter 64 - Unexpected emotions.
Leah’s POVTime flew by and before I knew it, I was on our bed screaming my lungs out, pushing a watermelon through a hole that wasn’t made for it!! I looked at Emily with wide eyes, thinking this was happening way too fast. I thought we might still have time to get to the hospital. Wasn’t that the way things were meant to work? But noooo! Our son had to start coming out as the elevator went down, so as soon as the doors opened on the ground floor, Emily pressed the button to take us back up. There was no time to wait for the doctor. We had barely made it to bed when I shouted that I needed to push. Sebastian wasn’t even here yet! He was out patrolling the borders with the warriors!“One last big push, Leah.” Emily looked as though she was feeling my pain as I shook my head.“NOOOO! I want Sebastian!” I cried.“This baby isn’t going to wait for
Claimed Chapter 63 - Finding a family.
Beverley’s POVNicolas didn’t seem so bad, but I didn’t trust anything with fangs or canines or any supernatural strength anymore. They all found a way to lie to you eventually. Even that werewolf girl I met a couple of months ago. She sat there and did nothing while I was dragged off to be killed by Nathaniel! I wondered what the chances were of getting revenge but quickly pushed that idea to the back of my mind. If what happened to Eli was an indication of what happened when you wanted revenge, then I didn’t want any part of it! I thought for a moment of joining Nicolas and his coven, but I would never be able to feel totally at home.“There is one more option.” His voice interrupted my line of thinking. “But I don’t think you will be interested, since it was originally Nathaniel’s pet project. We have, however, found that there is still a need for it.” He fro
Claimed Chapter 62 - Freedom? A new life ...
Beverly’s POVI had been there for a couple of days and the only people I saw were the guard and the girl who brought me food and clothes. I tried asking the guard what they planned on doing with me and who the hell was in charge around here, but he would just shrug and mumble before leaving me locked away in my room again. At night, I could hear whispers in the passages, but I could never make out who it was or what they were saying. I had half expected someone to come in here and interrogate me, but nothing. It was a total communication block and I was slowly losing my mind.I might not be entirely human anymore, but surely, they could allow me out of this room once in a while. They were feeding me so I couldn’t think that they planned on killing me. Whoever the hell they were. I could smell that they were vampires. I’d learned how to tell the difference thanks to the very short time I pretended to like Nathaniel. Yeah
Claimed Chapter 61 - Elana comes home.
Leah’s POVI was so damn excited about bringing Elana home that I felt nauseous the entire time! That combined with my morning sickness made me feel physically green, but I must have hidden it well because, thankfully, nobody asked me if I was okay. We had a picture session at the orphanage as Elana said goodbye to the staff and again as we arrived home. It had been a pretty exciting time just to bring her here, and we walked into the main dining room where the pack was waiting.The food smelled incredible as usual and we made our way around the room introducing everyone to our little girl. She was laughing and my heart sang each time her beautiful laugh rang through the air. It was probably one of the most prized moments of my life. After a little while, Elana started to yawn and I laughed, informing everyone that they were welcome to carry on with the party but that it seemed as though our little guest of honour needed a nap. We t
Claimed Chapter 60 - The final war - Part 2
Sebastian’s POVThanks to the fact that Eli had killed Nathaniel, there was nobody anymore to tell me I couldn’t kill the bastard! I couldn’t focus on my pack around me that was being slaughtered by the hybrids. My focus was on Eli, and killing him! If I understood the sire line correctly, as soon as he died, his entire line would die with him! Thanks to his brilliant plan to make them all hybrids! I groaned as he pulled out a chunk of my hair and I turned as fast as I could to face him again. When I noticed he was distracted, I attacked again and this time I tasted blood.It looked as though the arrival of the vampires didn’t change a thing in his mind! He probably thought his pack was strong enough to take on all of us! As he sprinted forward again, all I thought about was that he was the one I wanted to rip to shreds! Bodies were falling all around us as we continued to rip into each other, staining both our coa
Claimed Chapter 59 - The final war - Part 1
Eli’s POVI waited until I was sure all my people were in the great hall before I walked in. As I took my place at the podium, I stood looking at all of them.“For years now, we’ve had to take whatever our neighbours dished our way. Alpha Sebastian even stole my mate and claimed her as his own when he found out that she was my destined mate.” I knew the stories had been circling around the pack so it wouldn’t be news to any of them to find out that Leah was mine! “Then, he sent someone to kill our Luna!” I could feel the anger building up in the room and I knew that last statement was going to be enough to get everyone on my side. Even the people who would normally vote against a war wouldn’t be able to do it this time, since our Luna was killed by Sebastian. I didn’t need proof of this. I knew they would believe me because of what I was about to tell them. “When I wouldn’t give him our entire territory, he had me kidnapped.” I pretended to be unable to look at them, but I was slowly
