2022-11-20 14:00:57Leah’s POV
Everything between us was absolutely perfect … Until we sat down to have breakfast. It was as if some switch flipped in Sebastian and he looked a little uncomfortable. He didn’t just look it! I could feel it through our bond. He would look at me for less than a split second and then look at his food. As if he wanted to say something but couldn’t bring himself to do it. What the hell happened between saying good morning and sitting down for breakfast that he would be acting this damn strange?
“Is everything okay?” I decided to just ask since assumption always seemed to be the mother of all fuckups! He glanced at me again and then sighed, putting down his fork and leaning back into the chair.
“Are you …” He hesitated. “I mean, last night happened really fast. Are you happy?” He blushed bright red and I burst out laughing, which m

Eli’s POV We walked into the nightclub in the city and I could smell all the different scents from all the different creatures. It was so strange to see them all mingling and having fun as if they were from the same damn species! It was disgusting! “I’m here to see Nathaniel,” I told the huge bulky guard keeping watch over the VIP entrance. I was sure he was just there because he was all brawn and no damn brain. When he finished paging through his little list of people, he frowned at me. “And you are?” He sighed as if I was wasting his time! “Eli.” I frowned. “Eli Blackwood. I have an appointment and you are going to make me late!” I was getting impatient. I didn’t want to be here of all places, but if I was going to get to my goal, I needed to do that. “Ah, there you are. Nathaniel will be right with you.” He unclipped the red rope and showed me to a table. “Stay here. Don’t wander off!” He growled softly and walked away. What the fuck was up with that guy? As if I would wander a

Sebastian’s POV Feeling the vampire venom running through my veins, it felt as if my body was being torn apart cell by cell. Vampire venom fighting werewolf venom as the DNA clashed and I howled out in pain fighting against the restraints that were holding me down. I agreed to this, but I didn’t realize it would hurt this much! I woke up breathing fast and my heart was pounding as I sat up in bed. Sweat was running down the side of my face while I tried to calm my breathing. “Sebastian?” Leah’s concerned voice calmed me instantly as I pulled her into my arms. “It was just a nightmare. I’m sorry to wake you.” I forced my breathing to calm down and lay back with Leah in my arms, but I couldn’t fall asleep after the memory of what happened to me rushed so rudely into my dreams. That memory can only mean one thing. The vampires were moving. The question was what the hell were they up to? My mind drifted to Leah in my arms for the hundredth time during this incredibly boring alliance me
Last Updated : 2022-11-22Claimed Chapter 40 - To go big or not ...
Leah’s POV I just had to be careful about which projects to pick. I didn’t want Sebastian to think that I was trying too hard. I needed to find the projects that she started, but also ones that weren’t that sentimental and like her babies or something. I didn’t want anyone to feel offended and wondered if I should even try that. I hadn’t been here long enough in both lifetimes to really know what would make a difference in this pack’s lives. “Hey, what are you up to?” Emily appeared, leaning against my doorframe, and gave me such a fright that I jumped, slamming the book shut in the process. Carl seemed impressed, but he made sure I wouldn’t show the book to anybody else. Not even Sebastian. It really was Luna’s secret diary. “Oh, uhm …” I jumped out of my chair and walked over to her so she wouldn’t pay too much attention to the book. “I’ve just been looking for some books on the pack's history of mating ceremonies.” My cheeks turned bright red. I knew the subject would definitely
Last Updated : 2022-11-22Claimed Chapter 41 - Eli disappears ...
Leah’s POV It really was going to be the event of the social season! I laughed as I went through some of the arrangements with Emily, but we all deserved a little happiness and this mating ceremony was going to be the thing to do. I could look at those projects a little later since this seemed to be at the top of the priority list. Emily had so many ideas that I almost wondered if she didn’t wish it was her wedding day we were planning or something. I mean, which girl wouldn’t love to have the perfect fairy tale mating ceremony big enough to look like a human wedding?! We spent all day, every day making plans for the next week and poor Sebastian looked so bored sitting through food tastings and flower presentations that I finally gave him a day off when we went tablecloth shopping. Yeah, it really was a lot, but at the end of the day, it was all going to be worth it. In the evenings, I made sure to thank Sebastian properly for his bank card and his patience throughout this entire th

Eli’s POV I had no other choice but to call my mate to come and pick me up. I had no idea where the hell I was. I was feeling seriously weird, and all I could think about was getting back home. I needed a shower and a clean change of clothes and I needed to figure out what the hell happened to me. The last thing I remembered was that bastard telling me he wanted to show me something, a stinging sensation in my neck and then I blacked out. I remember him telling me I’m a hybrid. I still couldn’t believe what he told me. Flashes of incredible pain shot through my body while I waited. I considered going inside to have a drink while I waited, but I could just imagine her face if she found me inside the club. Knowing my mate, she would immediately think I was here for the wrong reasons. Choosing a mate had its disadvantages. That bastard’s men thought it was funny to drop me off right here. In front of a strip club, in the middle of the city where I couldn’t figure out one single damn scen

Leah’s POV “There is no use in blaming yourself.” Sebastian’s voice drifted through the mind link. “If you ran, Eli would have kept coming after you.” He was right … That made me wonder how often he heard my thoughts. “Often enough,” He smiled at me as he walked through the front door. “We need to talk about you and your previous life.” He mind linked me and I looked around wondering who else heard it! “Just me.” His arm slipped around my waist and he pulled me closer, breathing in my scent as he nuzzled his nose into my neck. “Thank the goddess.” I sighed, feeling myself calm down. I closed my eyes and just stayed in the moment for a second. “Why didn’t you tell me you heard my thoughts?” I asked him through the mind link and our eyes made contact. “I didn’t want you to think I was invading your privacy. At first, I thought I was imagining what I heard, but you think about your past life a lot, and then I heard you thinking about two lifetimes with all of us in it. What happened?”
Last Updated : 2022-11-25Claimed Chapter 44 - So many plans and hidden agendas
Leah’s POV I breathed yet another sigh of relief as my fingers slipped over the soft satin of my pure white dress. So far there had been no sign of Eli or his pack and although Emily wasn’t happy about our plan, she had no other choice but to agree that it was our only option. So, the time had come for Sebastian and me to be officially mated in front of the entire pack. It was a bigger thing to me than I let on and while we were busy making all sorts of plans it was easy to avoid the enormity of it all, but looking at myself in the mirror, all dressed up in my wedding dress, I couldn’t stop the tears from forming. “Wow!” Emily’s voice echoed throughout the room and I turned to smile at her. “Our parents would have been so proud to have you as their daughter.” She hugged me and I couldn’t help but feel a little sad that I didn’t have either dad here to walk me down the aisle, but Emily volunteered and that was good enough for me. We walked out of the lift and I could hear the people e
Last Updated : 2022-11-26Claimed Chapter 45 - Playing the cards we were dealt.
Leah’s POV To be honest, I’d almost forgotten about the human woman who took pictures of Sebastian and his men that night when he found me. At one point, I thought that he wanted to hand her over to the vampires, but he never did and she’d been kept safely locked away since then. The room was lighter than I expected. She had her own bathroom and it was clear that Sebastian made sure she was taken care of. A slight pang of jealousy stabbed into my heart and I stood a little closer to him, making him smile. I could see the girl trying to hide her fear, but it was true what they said about being able to smell it, and it smelled delicious! “Miss Witherspoon. I’ve come to give you a proposal.” Sebastian kept his distance, which I appreciated. “I’m not interested in anything you have to say!” She spat venom and I fought back the urge to laugh. I felt sad for her that she got dragged into all of this because of Eli, but if I were in her position, I would do whatever it took to get me out o

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
