Claire's POVThe sun rays seemed to focus directly on my face the next morning and so I took my hand to my eyes in a bid to cover it from the blinding lights the sun emitted while whimpering softly.Where was the pain coming from? Right, in between my legs as it has always been. Ever since I came into Nathan's home, no day has passed without me feeling so sore after spending the night with him. "What sad fate I have" I winced and slowly opened my eyes. I took my time to take in the nature of my surroundings, my face expressionless and cold.Feeling more comfortable and ready to face whatever today brings, I tried to get out of bed but couldn't because something was holding me back from leaving the bed.Terrified, I looked down to see Nathan's hands securely wrapped around my waist in a tight grip. My heart leapt in fright as I caught sight of him sleeping so peacefully while holding my waist like it was a normal thing he would do even when he was awake.But seeing how peaceful and i
Nathan's POVAt first, when I entered the kitchen that was already covered in smoke from whatever that was cooking on the fire, I was annoyed with Claire because I knew that she was the only one who could intend to light the whole house on fire."What is she planning to do? Cook something? Bah! She's too spoilt for that. As the daughter of an Alpha there is nothing bizarre about the fact that she can not make use of the items in the kitchen nor do any kind of chore at all perfectly" I concluded in my heart and proceeded to open the kitchen windows so that the smokes could clear out a bit."Claire will surely hear from me for doing something as risky as this. Where is she anyways?" I asked rhetorically and made my way out of the kitchen when something caught my eyes.Cold chills ran down my spine as I beheld Claire curled in a ball at a corner of the kitchen. Her body was covered in soothe from the smoke and some parts of her skin were starting to turn red probably because she got burn
Claire's POV As I made my way out of the bedroom to do the dishes while carrying the food tray, my mind wandered off to the little conversation I had with Nathan. "It's strange, Nathan has never spoken to me this way. I could never imagine Nathan, my ruthless mate would speak to me in a nicer manner instead of being cold and harsh to me when I try to strike up a conversation" I muttered within my self, my face filled with bewilderment. I dropped the dishes in the sink, happy to see that the smoke had already disseminated, the windows which I was struggling to open when the whole place was filled with smoke was wide open, "Must be the handiwork of Nathan" I smiled, admiring his strength for a while before proceeded to start cleaning the kitchen which I had messed up while trying to cook something for the both of us. I made sure to scrub out any speck of dirt that came about when the sauce pan spilled it's contents, causing the veggies to spread all over the floor and kitchen count
Nathan's POVI took Claire's hand softly and began to lead her to the room we've been sharing since we came here. I could hear how her heart beat tremendously against her ribcage, I could tell she was scared with the way her hands were shaking. I did not say a word to her or try to make her calm down, I only squeezed the door knob open and pulled her in before closing the door securely.The look of curiosity mixed with anxiousness was clearly written on her face, she probably don't know what to expect and so I don't blame her. I made Claire sit on the bed and stared directly in her eye, "Are you sure you want this?" I asked again referring to the request she had made of me in the living room. I needed to be sure she was okay with it before going further to carry out my plans on her. "More than anything, You own me Alpha so do to me however you please" She returned, her eyes glowed with confidence and determination, perhaps she was no longer getting a cold feet regarding her decisi
I tried to fall asleep beside her but couldn't, all I wanted was to stare at her face as she slept. She looks cute while sleeping and for a moment, I felt slightly remorseful for everything I made her pass through.For punishing her because of the sins of her mother, she did not deserve it. I took my hands to her hair and began to rub it slowly.She stirred a little and pouted her small lips sleepily, a small chuckle escaped my throat while staring at her lips, "Such a big baby" I chortled and kissed her forehead again.She stirred again but did not still wake up, "She must be exhausted, well why not? What she did tonight was so unlike her, I did not expect such from her. I have always called her a weakling but tonight she proved me wrong" I thought within myself, a big grin on my face.My eyes fell on her wrists which was still red from the spreader bar I used on her and my face fell. I don't want to keep hurting her, today is going to be the last because she deserves more than I am
Claire winced as she stirred awake, her entire body aching with soreness. As she slowly opened her eyes, she caught sight of Alpha Nathan, seated at a small table and engrossed in his laptop. The smell of breakfast wafted over to her, making her stomach growl, but she hesitated to move. She felt her cheeks flush with embarrassment, realizing that she must have looked pretty pathetic after the ordeal of the previous day.Suddenly, Alpha Nathan spoke up, his voice breaking through the silence of the room. "You do know you suck at pretending to be asleep, Claire," he said, amusement evident in his tone.Claire felt a jolt of surprise and embarrassment, realizing that he had seen right through her ruse. She sat up gingerly, wincing at the soreness that radiated throughout her body. Alpha Nathan turned to her with a small smile, as if sensing her discomfort."Come to me," Alpha Nathan's voice was gentle, but firm, and Claire knew she couldn't ignore him. She tried to push herself up from th
As Mrs. Lara reminded Claire to not forget her medication, Claire nodded her head and promised to remember. However, she was soon called away to attend to some work, and the reminder slipped her mind.As she busied herself with cleaning the kitchen, Harrison, the Gamma of the pack, walked in. Claire had always sensed that Harrison wanted to talk to her, but she had avoided him every chance she got.Harrison walked up to her and asked where she had been, mentioning that he hadn't seen her in two weeks. Claire hesitated for a moment before answering, not sure whether she could trust him or not."I've just been out," she finally said, evading the question of where she had gone.Harrison raised an eyebrow but didn't push the matter any further. Instead, he leaned against the counter and watched her as she worked. The Claire tried to ignore him, but she could feel his eyes on her, and it made her nervous.Finally, after what felt like hours, Harrison spoke up. "You know, you don't have to b
I was in my room, reviewing the latest reports and updates from the pack when Claire entered. I knew it was her even before she cleared her throat, and I continued to work, pretending not to notice her."Alpha Nathan," she said softly, calling my attention to her.I glanced up briefly, acknowledging her presence but not bothering to give her my full attention. "What brings you here?" I asked in a flat tone."I just wanted to see you," she said quietly.I could sense the uncertainty and nervousness in her voice, but I didn't let it affect me. "I'm fine," I said curtly. "You should leave."I watched as her face fell, clearly disappointed that I wasn't more welcoming. But I had work to do, and I didn't have time for idle conversation.But she refused to leave. Instead, she took a step closer to me, determined to get my attention."Please, Alpha Nathan," she said, her voice shaking slightly. "I really wanted to talk to you. It's important."I sighed, feeling annoyed at her persistence. "W

Amidst the jubilant atmosphere, Claire stood beside Nathan, her heart fluttering with a mix of excitement and apprehension.As the pack settled into a respectful silence, Claire's father addressed the crowd. "My dear pack, I have returned to inquire about my daughter's decision."Claire took a deep breath, her voice carrying a hint of determination. "Father, I have made my decision.
