CLAIR

"Tell me again why I´m here inside this room instead of the Ballroom? I thought I was supposed to attend the Ball? Why am I being locked up?" I snapped and glared at the man in front of me, my hands on my hips and my foot tapped at the floor in annoyance.

"Again, Lady Clair I´m only doing what I was told to do." He answered coldly. He had answered the same thing for the hundredth time and it started to piss me off.

"But what if I say I´m hungry? I want to eat. Don´t you want to eat? Come with me and let´s eat!" I sighed, doing my best to control the anger boiling in me. I wasn´t expecting to be locked up, I thought I could at least mingle with other people at the Ball and maybe bump on someone who knew my Alpha and could reach out to him.

"I will have someone bring you food then. Give me a minute." He was about to turn around when I called his attention.

"What´s your name?" I asked.

"Arthur." He answered curtly.

"Arthur,

I think Aeon is not a bad guy. He'll let Clair go easily when he'll find out what his father did or that Clair doesn't want to be with him.

Aeon seems like a nice guy just stuck in a situation that he has to listen to his dad. Hopefully he finds his fated mate. Maybe Clair’s cousin?

  • HE'S MY ALPHA   Chapter 74: Luisa

    JAKE We were sitting in our car by the border at the Night Howler´s territory for the last 30 minutes and that fucking Noah still has not allowed us to enter his territory. I decided to come earlier but it looked like he wanted to stick to his plans. The only thing that kept my temper in check was the fact that I had just spoken with my Beta. Gavin informed me that he was not able to find Clair at the Claiming Ball. Relief washed over me knowing she won´t be claimed by any other Alpha, now I just needed to find her here. My wolf on the other hand could not be appeased. He does not believe that Clair was safe from the Claiming tonight. On this ground, I directed my Beta to stay where he was and wait until all Alpha Females enter the Arena. My patience was already running thin as more time passed by and if Clair wasn´t important, I would have turned around already. At exactly 7:05, one of his men approached us and allowed us entrance. We

  • HE'S MY ALPHA   Chapter 75. Gavin

    GAVIN I’d been here for an hour and there weren’t any signs of her. I was already convinced that she was not here, and from the messages I got from the warriors who went around Alpha Noah’s territory, they were not able to smell her either. None of the females they talked with took notice of a new female around the area. The only thing was, I have not heard anything from the Alpha since he started the meeting with Alpha Noah. I was hoping something was happening in there and that they found her in the pack house, although I knew it would be stupid for Alpha Noah to keep her there if he knew Jake was stepping foot in there. I smiled at the female in front of me. She had been trying to get my attention for the last twenty minutes and kept complaining about the food choices on the buffet. It took me a lot of effort not to tell her to shut her mouth because she was really starting to annoy me. And then my phone rang. I looked at the screen and saw the Alpha’s name. I excused myself fro

  • HE'S MY ALPHA   Chapter 76: THE CLAIMING

    CLAIR As tears continued to fall from my eyes, I silently cursed myself for being stupid and reckless. I should have never left Beta Gavin’s side that day, or I should have just let Jake come with me to the city. My legs kept running while I tried to be careful so as to not make any noise. I knew it didn’t help since werewolves have a strong sense of hearing and smell, and the fact that it was an Alpha trying to stake a claim on me wasn’t helping at all. But still, I tried to focus and made my way deeper into the forest. There should be a way out. I had no idea if Arthur was lying or not. But maybe I just needed to get to the other end where the rest were waiting - then it would all be over. I would be willing to take all the consequences just to avoid getting claimed and marked tonight. I knew Dad would forgive me if anything happened to him because of me. It would be my burden to carry, but I could just not throw my life away like this. I was sure he would not approve of this! I

    CLAIR"Enough Gavin. Yield now. Your Luna orders you to do so." I said, softly enough for him to hear, as tears dropped from my eyes into Aeon’s fur, while my arms gripped his wolf’s neck in a tight hug.Gavin looked at me with regret in his eyes before he tapped the ground beside him. He submitted, as I told him to do.Alpha Aeon’s wolf loosened its hold on the Beta’s neck and slowly moved away from his body, dragging me along as I was still holding on to his neck. I let go of my arms around him, and in an instant, I fell backward.As soon as he completely let go of the Beta, I scrambled back to my feet and took the Beta’s coat. I dropped to my knees and covered his naked body. Blood trailed down on his shoulders and torso as he whimpered in silent agony. I cradled his head in my lap, doing my best to keep him awake, tapping his cheek gently, cooing him with words of encouragement. "Gavin, please please...""You disappointed me, Clair. I fought with my life to claim you and yet you to

    CLAIR. The moment Alpha Aeon tapped the ground, I let go of the breath I had been holding for a long time and dropped to my knees. My whole body started to shake as relief washed over me, and I let the tears flow, letting my heart heal from them. The thought of losing Jake in this fight was more than my heart could handle, but the Goddess was on our side this time. “Thank you! Thank you!” I mumbled under my breath as tears kept running down my cheeks. “You’re welcome.” A cheeky voice penetrated my senses, and a smile automatically curled on my lips as I raised my head to look at the only man I wanted to see and wanted to be with. He reached out his hand for me to take it. His eyes gazed softly at mine with longing, his lips tugging into a toothless grin that showed off his deep dimples. I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face as I accepted his hand. My heart was overflowing with too many emotions, all directed toward my Alpha. In an instant, he pulled me up on my feet and wrapped h

    GAVIN. I had been in this damn infirmary bed for the last thirty minutes, but my mind was drifting somewhere else. Matteo had mindlinked earlier that the Alpha had come just in time before Alpha Aeon could claim and mark Clair. And from the silence in my head, I assumed that Jake had won. At least all my effort and sacrifice did not go down the drain. Sacrifice. My little lamb. I closed my eyes for the nth time and pictured the female I had seen at the ballroom today. I wanted her memory to linger longer, so I memorized her features and the way she looked at me. And then, as if from memory, I started to smell her scent. I snapped my eyes open and scanned the room I was in. I was alone, but I heard retracting footsteps from the hallway, and her scent suddenly faded. I tried to sit up and rise from lying down, but the pain in my shoulders and my torso made it impossible. I hissed and laid back on my bed, cursing Alpha Aeon for my damage. But what was that? Had she come to see me? W

    CLAIR As soon as the car halted in front of the packhouse, I saw Aaron jump from where he was sitting on the steps in front of the packhouse and rush towards the passenger side, opening the door abruptly. I automatically flung my arms around him as he scooped me up for a tight embrace. My feet left the ground while he swung us around. "Clairy! You’re here!!!" His hug was so tight, almost suffocating, but I would never complain — not anymore, not after the separation. "I miss you, Aaron!" I shrieked with happiness. "You did?" He put me back on my feet and pulled away from the hug, but his arms were still around me. "Goddess! You reek of the Alpha! You couldn’t even wait to get home?" His nose scrunched up, feigning a gag, but a mischievous smile crept onto his lips. "Once you find your mate, try saying that again to your sister! And let me know if you can keep your hands off your mate." A loud voice came around, and I heard people snicker and laugh around us, with my brother feign

    JAKE. We were getting ready for my Union Ceremony with Clair. The Elders had taken her away from the packhouse. I wouldn’t be able to see her until early tonight. We decided to hold the union earlier because Clair wasn’t marked yet and her heat might arrive anytime after the full moon peaked. I was in my office and going through the files I had received from the Crescent Moon Pack, where the Claiming was held when my Beta stepped in. I raised my head and looked at him as he slumped his body onto the chair in front of my desk. "Do you even sleep lately?" I raised a brow, and my eyes scanned his face. His eyes had black circles around them, and the hair on his face was longer than usual. "Did you get the information? I still haven’t felt any bond breaking. I’m guessing she will be claimed tonight." He ignored my question, his hand massaging his temple. I sighed and slid the papers in my hand in his direction. "Not sure you want to hear this, but you need to know. All the Alpha Fe

    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

  • HE'S MY ALPHA   Chapter 87

    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
