CLAIR

Three days had gone by since that disastrous breakfast with Jake. I hadn’t seen him since that day, so I spent most of my time training and volunteering at the daycare.

Tonight will be a full moon. Four pups were expected to shift, and I convinced Aaron to let me join him since he was the one overseeing when pups shifted for the first time. He would be helped out by two other warriors.

Glaiza would be among the pups shifting tonight. I worked with her at the daycare, and we’d been spending a lot of time together for the last couple of days, so when she told me she would be shifting, and how scared she was, I volunteered to stay with her.

And I was glad Aaron let me join. I wanted to let Rain out. It has been a long time since she went out for a run.

Of course, I had to make sure Jake wouldn’t be around, or it might not end well if Rain saw our mate.

Luckily, Jake had to attend some meetings in the nearby town and wouldn’t be back until midnight. Then shifting would be done

Jake is such a jerk...can't believe he is the ML. He had sex Claire a few times before and then made her cum on the beach a few days ago but now when SHE needs it, he is acting like sex is such a big sin and Jake is a priest.

    CLAIR "Jake!!!" I called out for him while my brother carried me away from the clearing. Jake didn’t want me. I knew it already, and yet the feeling of being unwanted and unloved came in full force tonight. The pain was unbearable, so I just let the tears flow, sobbing quietly in my brother’s arms. The burning started to come again while Aaron did his best to run fast towards the pack house. Everything went blurry after that, and I just found myself being guided toward the bathtub, with Jenny helping me out. "Go, Aaron. I can take it from here," Jenny said almost in a whisper while pushing Aaron away from the bathroom. "I’ll let you know if we need help. Now go!" Aaron sighed before nodding, leaving a peck on Jenny’s forehead. "Thank you!" Jenny smiled at him before closing the bathroom door. She then walked to where I was and crouched outside the bathtub before she began massaging my temple. "Hey, little girl, does the cold water help?" I shook my head. Jenny’s eyes were fill

    JAKE I woke up with a soft body against my torso and my nose automatically sank into her neck, letting her smell consume me while sparks traveled all over my body. It would be nice to wake up next to her every day. I moaned hungrily and found my lips starting to nibble and suckle her skin, making her stir but she remained sleeping. I felt my dick coming to life, but before I could do more, I heard soft knocks on my door. My body automatically jerked up from the bed as I palmed my face! Fuck! This will be messy! I got up from my bed and put on my sweatpants before grabbing the blanket to cover Clair from head to toe. I had no idea what I was trying to achieve, only that I hoped not to wake her up yet. I opened the door slightly, just enough space for the person outside to see me. Standing outside my door was Jenny, a worried expression written on her face while my Gamma and Beta were fast approaching. Fuck this! "Alpha. We’ve been trying not to disturb you but we’ve been looking

    JAKE Clair ran away after hitting us with her words. Everyone stood frozen in their place for a moment until Jenny moved and ran after her. Aaron followed suit, and I was left alone with my Beta. I was left speechless. Everything she said to Aaron backfired on me. I did this to her. I made her feel unwanted and not worthy. But if she only knew the struggle within me. I let out a sigh and was about to move my feet to follow after them when I felt my Beta’s hand on my shoulder. I tilted my head to look at him as he shook his head. "Don’t. It’s better if you talk with her when you are both in the right frame of mind. Nothing will help right now, especially if her brother is around." He said in a low but firm voice. I swung my coiled fist into the wall beside me in response. I hit it two more times before I rested my forehead on the wall, eyes closed, with my jaw tightening and not bothering at all that my knuckles were bleeding and that there was a big hole in the wall right now.

    CLAIRThe last few days have been exceptionally quiet. I felt like everyone was walking on an eggshell whenever I was around. Aaron has not uttered a single word about my heat or about my relationship with Jake. He simply went on with his usual routine and dropped by from time to time to check on us. Although I missed his protectiveness, I was thankful for the privacy and the space at the moment.Jenny has gone quiet as well and didn’t ask as many questions as she used to. Not that she did anything wrong, but maybe she felt bad about everything I said. I would if I were in her shoes and heard everything. I was sure no one would want to hear their friend embarrass herself in front of her brother and the man she liked.But on the other hand, Dad was an exception. He was never the type to invade my personal space, literally and figuratively, which I was thankful for, but lately, he has been more responsive and attentive to me. He was constantly checking if I needed anything or if I wanted

    JAKE We’re heading off to Aeon’s party anytime soon. If it weren’t for the pack business that, for unknown reasons, he chose to conduct on the same day as his party, I would not be attending his gala. He might have wanted me there for a certain reason, but I just shrugged it off until his invitation to Clair came forward. He must have known that Clair wouldn’t go unless she came with someone from her pack. If it were up to me, I would not let her go to this party, but my Beta informed me that she wanted to go. Her agreement to go caught me off guard. I always thought she hated this kind of gathering, but I couldn’t avoid thinking she might be considering Aeon for her chosen mate, like what she told me last time at the stream. Now I have to change my plan for tonight. I initially thought that I would just attend the meeting with Aeon and leave as soon as we were done with it. But now I had to stay for the gala as well and watch her all night. Aeon might be a close friend, but Clair

    JAKE I drove in silence, just listening to her heartbeat and her breathing. It was a comfortable silence. It was overwhelming, but in a good way. Her scent all over the car calmed and relaxed me and my wolf. I threw her a glance and saw that she was biting her lower lip. I felt the urge to tug it so she wouldn’t hurt herself, but instead, I reached out for her hand sitting on her lap. She looked at me with her mouth open. She wasn’t expecting my action. I smiled at her and entwined our hands together before taking them to my lips and placing a gentle kiss on her knuckles. I saw her swallow hard before I was able to put my eyes back on the road and placed our entwined hands on my right thigh, brushing her thumb with mine. It felt good. The spark didn’t leave my body and just kept intensifying. I could get lost in this, and for now, I didn’t care anymore. "Do you feel it? The sparks..." She asked softly, her voice caressing me. Her eyes beamed with happiness as she stared at me.

    CLAIR "Lady Clair?" I and the Beta raised our heads at the same time and looked at the man standing in front of us. "Yes? Is there anything I can do for you?"I asked calmly. "My Alpha requested to have an audience with you. He wanted to have a word with you privately." The man explained in a very cold tone. I stood up, and Beta Gavin followed suit. I looked at him before speaking back to the man in front of us. "And your Alpha is?" "Young Alpha Aeon’s father. The Alpha of this pack." "And you are?" I asked again. "Beta Karson," he answered curtly. "Beta Karson, I would like to have Beta Gavin outside the room while I talk with your Alpha. I hope you won’t mind my request." I told him while holding my head high. "Are you sure you want to talk with him?" Beta Gavin asked me in a hushed tone. I nodded. "I want to know why." I saw Beta Karson’s eyes flecked with white specks. He was mind-linking someone, probably his Alpha. 'I will mind link you if anything feels wrong.' I rep

    CLAIR It was almost two hours now and Jake was nowhere to be seen. I’d been itching to ask the Beta if he had heard anything from him, but I kept my mouth shut. I didn’t want to sound too eager. Beta Gavin and I were at the dessert table, picking sweets and judging them one by one. We just finished rating the people around the ballroom. I shared with him that when I was hanging out with my human friends, we usually pass the time by rating girls or boys according to their hotness or physical features from one to ten, with a perfect ten being the hottest! And because we were both bored, we tried it on the Alpha females and males around us. The Beta rated me at 9.5, and like the gentleman that I knew he was, he never rated anyone higher than me tonight except for his future mate. He was saving the perfect 10 for her and I think that was sweet. I couldn’t wait until he met her and swept her off her feet. I was stifling laughter from something the Beta said when a voice came out of the

    What would you do if you had been saving yourself for your mate? Only for him to choose another Alpha Female right in your face? Reciprocate the act. Avenge. An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth. Easier said than done. Because whenever he was around me, my body betrayed me. "Alia, do you trust me? Even just for tonight?" His voice came out low and rough that it sent shivers of pleasure direct to my core. I know I should not trust him. But my body and my mouth have a mind of their own. "I trust you, Gavin..." I whispered as I pressed my back to his naked chest. He took a deep breath and dipped his head into my neck, slowly brushing his lips against my burning skin. I angled my neck, giving him more access while a sultry moan escaped my throat when he started nibbling and sucking the soft spot on my neck. This was all wrong, but I don't want to be right this time. Just for tonight.

    CLAIRI stirred awake at the pleasure running through my body. A hand trailed on the skin of my thigh, and from the sparks emitted from the contact, I knew my mate was freely roaming his calloused palm all over my nakedness again, which he would always do once in a while. And I never complained. And I didn’t think I would ever complain.I raised my hand and coiled it in his hair, gripping it and letting him know I was already awake. His lips brushed against my stomach, and the hotness of his breath fanning against my skin and the intimacy of the act was enough for wetness to start pooling in my core."Jake..." I moaned his name, my throat still dry from sleep. "Love, do you even sleep?" I asked him with a hoarse voice while my hand continued to caress his dark hair which seemed to grow thicker and darker with each year.He tilted his head and adjusted his body to be parallel to mine. We were lying on our sides, and with smiling eyes, he raised his hand to my face and brushed my cheek w

  • HE'S MY ALPHA   EPILOGUE

    CLAIRI woke up today with gratitude for the precious privilege of being alive, being able to enjoy life, and loving the people around me.It was a beautiful spring day, but it was nothing short of ordinary.It was early morning, and the sun cast its glorious rays upon the garden outside of the pack house. The sight of our backyard made me realize how big my world was and how blessed I truly was.The ground was buzzing with male pups who tried to outdo each other, while the females, including my daughter, Catherine, tried to mess up their games.At eight years old, she reminded me of myself in many ways. She was a carbon copy of me, only her hair was straight and black. Something she got from her father.And just like when I was younger, she would always come running around with pastries to bribe the boys to let her join their games, and with her charm and wit, she would always get what she wanted.I shook my head as a smile graced my lips. I saw my little Catherine jump at the back of

    "It is a blessing and a curse to feel everything so deeply." 2 YEARS AFTER JAKE. Her scent reached my nose even before I felt her presence. Twigs snapped as small footsteps echoed around us as she approached the place I was resting in. I turned my head in the direction of the noise just in time to see my lovely Clair emerge from the bushes with a small plastic bag that she kept close to her chest. Her eyes were beaming with happiness. It’s been two years since I made a vow under the blue moon to protect and love my fated mate. It has been two years of waking up every day with the fear that something might go wrong. That all I had and all I ever wanted would be snatched right before my eyes. I tried to live with that fear by living my life to the fullest. I made sure that I gave my all to my pack and to her. I never wasted any moment with Clair. Deep down inside, I knew our days were numbered. One thing might happen, and I might never get the chance to be with her for longer t

    JAKE. "I came here not to tell you to forgive me. I have already accepted that you won’t. I came here to tell you that I never stopped thinking about you. I never stopped caring. I always had my eyes on you." He threw a manila envelope on the desk but didn’t say anything. My curiosity got the best of me as I grabbed and opened the envelope. There were pictures. All of me - from my childhood until my union ceremony a week ago. I flipped the pictures that I had in my hands, and there were dates on them, and I knew it was my father’s handwriting. It had a detailed description of the event and where the photos were taken. "I wasn’t here, but those photos — I watched you grow up in those. I had people within the pack who would send me those, and if they forgot, I would bother them non-stop." He chuckled at his own words. "You made me proud, son. This pack loves you. They worship you, and I know that leaving you here was a good choice I made. So I don’t regret it. I took an Alpha away

    CLAIR. It has been a week since my union ceremony with my mate. I started to find my place in the pack, although the real Luna work has not yet begun. On the other hand, Jake had his head pressed against his work, especially now that his Beta wasn’t around. After the revelation that Alia, Alpha Caspian’s sister, was the Beta’s mate, Jake decided to send him to their pack instead of Aaron’s second-in-command to administer the training for their pack warriors. It was supposed to commence next month, but unfortunately, during my Union Ceremony, the Blue Meadow’s pack — Alpha Caspian’s territory — was attacked by a number of rogues. They had few casualties and many were injured, so Alpha Caspian requested to have the retraining scheduled immediately. Seeing this as an opportunity for the Beta to fix his bond with Alia, Jake sent him off there. I, on the other hand, was still adjusting to my life as Jake’s mate. I was expecting that I would be pushed to attend meetings and review files

    CLAIR. I woke up to the sound of movements around me, squinting my eyes to see my mate drying his hair with a towel. He had his pants on, but his chest was still naked. He looked at me, and a smile tugged on his lips. He threw the towel on the chair nearby before walking to the bed. "How was your sleep?" He asked as he sat at the side of the bed, the mattress dipping under his weight, causing me to slide a little on his side. "Had any dreams?" I rolled my eyes playfully and grinned at him. "Yeah, like a wet dream." "Tell me about it." He chuckled. I sat on the bed and slapped his arm lovingly, my fingers trailing on his skin. "I woke up expecting to find you still beside me. Now I’m disappointed." He bit his lower lip and eyed me with regret. "I know, baby, but my Beta and Gamma wanted to talk with me now. But I promise that after this, I’m all yours today." I flashed him a sincere smile before I cupped his face and placed a kiss on his lips. My movement made the sheet pool down

    JAKE."Please..." My mate begged me to fuck her. Fuck this. She made it look like I didn’t want to fuck her when all I thought about the whole night was the different ways I would feast on her body tonight.Her smell was more potent than I could remember — more potent than her previous heat — and I couldn’t remember being this aroused as I felt right now. My cock just kept getting harder, and it felt like I could explode anytime just by looking at her and how she tried to seduce me.How did I get this lucky?I was mated to an innocent-looking temptress. Fuck!My wolf wanted to come out and fuck the hell out of our mate, but that would never happen. She was mine to fuck, so I shoved my wolf to the back of my mind before I positioned myself nearer her throbbing core.I could see her slickness, and it was already leaking at the sides of her legs. I badly wanted to taste her, but it could wait. My goal right now was to satisfy my mate.Fuck! I held my dick and jerked it up and down with m

    CLAIR. "We are gathered here tonight for the union of our Alpha, Jacob Galhart, with Lady Clair Montrell, the future Luna of the Black Shadow Pack. I preside over this union under the blue moon with great honor, where the Goddess will bestow her greatest blessing, the blessing of love and bliss." Elder Garret cleared his throat before turning his face towards me and my Alpha. "May I ask the Alpha and the Future Luna to promise to love and be loyal to each other as I bind you together for life in the name of the Goddess?" I turned to my side to face my Alpha. I slowly lifted my eyes to meet his, and even without touching him, I could feel the spark and the tingles that had been a constant in my skin whenever he was around. My eyes then followed Jake‘s movement as he took my hand and held it to his while Elder Garett started to bind our wrists together with a black rope, which symbolized the color of the pack. And then our eyes met again, and my heart stopped. He was beautiful but
