Claire povPick up Gemma I sigh as I dial again."hello, her sleep filled voice answers, hello",I pause before blowing up at her."Lucas was just dragged in severely injured and he may die",I hear her choke on a sob and then her screaming. "what do I do?!",she yelled."don't come this way Josh is a mess and your the last person he needs to see right now",her choked sobs are heard before she hangs up. I sit looking out praying.Josh rushes in and I look up tears filling my eyes as he rushes to hold me. He sniffs my neck and I feel his big body trembling."he is in surgery",he states. "I'm sorry, I hug him tight ignoring my ribs hurting, I'm sorry Josh",I cry kissing him. "shhhh little one no need to be sorry it isn't your fault,he kisses me, it isn't even Gemma's fault dad said they attacked him with thirty men and Lucas did good till he was stabbed in the chest. Dad and Duke wiped out all of them but twenty escaped and they then dragged him home. I pray he makes it",he kissed my lip
Claire povI hear talking but can't open my eyes yet."she has been out for a day now doc",Josh sounds stressed."I know Josh I can't say why though. She is healing right and we all witnessed her wolf but the staying asleep worries me",I got a wolf."yes you idiot you got me, I turn and see a huge wolf, I'm Mia your wolf and I can't break through to come out but I showed you strength at certain times to let you know I'm here",she is beautiful. "why can't you come out?",I need a wolf I don't want to be weak anymore. "your not ready for that yet",I sigh and sink to the floor."figures, story of my fucking life",I'm upset and let down."I will come to you but not now",she looks happy."when?",she sighs."not now you need time and so do I ",she is being vague."fine I want to wake, I'm being petty but I'm hurting and tired of everyone thinking I'm weak,no point trying to make me feel better you won't come I'd rather be anywhere but stuck asleep. Let me wake so my mate can continue to thi
Josh povClaire's old pack is a bunch of idiots and talking to them made me want to murder all of them. From the start her parents acted cold at hearing her name being mentioned. "we have no daughter named Claire ",her bitch mother said looking at her nails. Her dad looked away in guilt and sadness."funny you say that but my mate is your daughter the one your whole pack turned on and booted at twelve",my dad growled viciously at them. When his eyes flashed golden they moved back."oh her yes well humans have no place in packs with werewolves, her mom spoke up, we told her and Gemma to go for their safety ",are they serious? Scar growled."well you all fucked up both have wolves and fucking strong ones",their eyes went huge but the sister looked put out and I noticed her typing on her phone."funny you say that, the mom looked at the sister, she is human we know that because Olivia got a high ranking wolf not Claire. We made sure only our first girl got the wolf",her slip up made all
Josh povClaire hasn't slept right all night even after a long bath and me fucking her to sleep. She woke thirty minutes after and we snuggled but all damn night she stayed up. A few times she got so emotional I was about to have doc sedate her. When he came in with pain pills she looked awful and he got worried. "have you been In pain all night Claire?, he looked worried, you could of asked for pills honey we wouldn't of minded",she nodded no tears filling her eyes. His scared eyes darted to me."she will be having family visit this morning and she hasn't seen them in years",he sighed."do you need an anxiety pill?",she nodded no."no doc just pain pills please",I kissed her head. "son, my dad mind linked, both are with me and we are twenty minutes out",fuck. I decided to not tell her because she has been crying enough and Scar is angry.A soft knock made her whimper and look up at me worried. "its me honey",my dad entered and walked up to her bed."hi alpha",he hugged her gently a
Josh pov Let me out Josh I keep hearing Scar ask as we talk about the rogues attacking."hundreds line the borders ",my dad says looking around. "we can fight",Claire says sitting up shocking everyone."little one,I hug her, you can't baby let us do it",she sighs."I can help Mia is a witch as well as werewolf so I can cast magic",fuck me she is a hybrid like Aunt May. "mom and her coven will be thrilled to have another witch. From your eyes your a grand high witch like my mother",Claire sighs as Lucas talks about his mom and how the coven can train her."Josh I want to help",I know she does but if I lose her I'm wrecked for life. She is my world and if she isn't in it my world will crumble. I was young but uncle Duke lost his first mate and it destroyed him. He almost lost Aunt May over it. I watched how everyone was a mess after she died. Helen was my mom's mother so she would cry when us kids were in bed but I heard her."I know baby but your still new to this and I'm sorry but
Josh povI paced as Claire slept and the only fucking thing I wanted was her awake. "baby, I covered her little body, please wake soon",I kissed her head."she will wake Josh, my dad pats my back, she just had a lot of power leave to fight and heal. Be patient son",he left and I paced more. Harvey was checking on his dad and looked sad as he looked in on his sister."she finally got her wolf to come out",he stated as he watched her sleep. I nodded staring at her while I paced wanting her awake."I just want her awake, I fisted my hair, I need to see her awake and okay",he sighed. Today was clean up the rogues left messes and destruction everywhere. We had many pack members injured but alive."is council coming today?",he looks up from his cell phone."yes your mother and sister will be on trial then most likely executed for their crimes",he nodded."good both really fucked up and deserve what they get",he texted his dad."dad would like to come see her",he looked up at me and I sighed
Josh povShit went sideways fucking fast as both girls walked out without a fight. Lucas getting rejected was shocking but poor Gemma had her reasons.Our dads looked heartbroken it came to this and I feel like shit. I trust my mate."she didn't mean it Lucas, his dad said sadly, plus she didn't use your full name so it won't stick",he looked hurt."we didn't mate at all so she has every right to reject me. I never knew she overheard me talking shit with the warriors. I fucked up with her dad fixing it may be impossible ",fuck I know I'm going to have a fight trying to win Claire back. You fucking hurt mate Scar growled at me.We sat to watch the cameras in the cells and Lucas sucked in a shaky breath. Them talking hurt more."I say we leave as soon as possible Claire",my mate nods as she hugs Gemma tight."may be for the best",her voice is tight. I know she wants to cry but she bites her lip hard."they are all stupid, Gemma sighs, I'm sorry Claire but I'm done I don't want this anymo
Josh povWe both stiffened as doc walks up his face blank and I feel Lucas brace himself. "it was her appendix and we got it on time",his relieved breath of air made me relax."is she really okay?",Lucas looked ready to cry."yes Lucas she is really okay. Is Claire okay?",I nodded holding her close. "yes just tired from all the excitement",he nodded and smiled."Gemma will be put in recovery and after to her room. Do you want her in with Claire?",I sighed."yes both need each other right now",be nodded and left. My dad came by as we moved to Claire's room to wait on Gemma. Lucas sat by the bed looking tired but he stayed quiet. Gemma was brought in a few hours later and he stood while they switched her to the bed in the room. Lucas covered her and listened as they said she will be hurting when she wakes."she will be okay bro just relax",he nodded and sat waiting for his mate to wake. I watched Claire shift and I covered her more before sitting beside her. "so a pup",Lucas says loo
Lucas povI attack the hunter closer to me and kill him fast. My wolf growls happy as more fall."fucking dogs!",is yelled as we clash and I hear alarms."keep fighting!",I hear Josh."son they broke into the panic rooms",my gut clenched hard. Gemma I growled loud."my mate",Josh and I say together as fear fills us. We share looks before we go back to fighting. "lets end them once in for all, I share a brief look with Josh, wipe them all out so we can have relaxing lives with our girls ",I tell Josh and all he does is nod. A gun is fired and I watch a warrior fall. Fuck.Gemma pov The panic room door explodes as Victor shoves us behind him. A hunter steps through a evil grin on his lips."well what do we have here?, he smirks, a blood sucker and his whores",I cringe but my vampire growls. Let me take over Gemma it is time we show these fuckers what we are capable of. "back off,Victor growls, you will die",he shoots Victor who falls and I let my vampire take over and I move faster t
Lucas pov The week goes fast and today Is today the meeting. Josh ordered warriors to surround the building and outside for protection. Gemma has been a crying mess all damn day so far. Victor came yesterday and hasn't left because he wants to be close to help us. "ready baby?",she sighs. "do we have to go Lucas?",she been asking this for two days now. "yes baby we do, I hug her, I'm sorry my love but we have to show up. I will be there, so will Josh, Victor, my dad and Josh's dad so your going to be protected fully",she nods in my chest. Victor looks like he wants to hug her but stays standing close by. He looks tired which is weird for a vampire. Getting to the meeting hall vampires stand looking at Gemma. The head vampire looks happy to see her but she doesn't even look at him. His smile fades as she hugs me tight. "we got this",Victor moves beside us and Gemma reaches for his hand. He lets her take his and gives a shaky breath. "what if he tries stuff?",Gemma looks up afte
Gemma pov Victor wants to talk but I can't look at him without feeling hurt. He was so mean during our training I felt hated. I thought he was my friend but I was wrong and that hurt. I sighed as I looked at Lucas. "please Gemma, he begged, talk to me",she wouldn't look his way at all. "baby",she sighs sadly. Lucas pov "I'd rather not, her voice is soft and sad, your not who I thought you were Victor and I'm in no mood to be treated that way again",fuck he must of really hurt her feelings a lot. I hugged her to me and he sighed sadly. "for what it's worth I'm really sorry",he left and she started crying In my chest and all I could do was hold her. I stood letting her cry till she stopped and soft sniffles came out. Fucking cute my wolf mumbled and purred. "your okay baby",I kissed her lips before picking her up and holding her tight to me. Her lips met mine and we kissed till our stomachs growled loud. I headed to the kitchen of this place and damn it is nice. It has already pr
Gemma pov Lucas has been gone a long time and I'm getting more freaked out at every second that passes. I tried to mind link him but nothing and even Josh won't respond. Grabbing my cell phone I text Claire who doesn't answer. My vampire is restless and worried and wants to go see what is up. Jace is here I remind her and she backs down. Hours later I'm pacing and jump when the door opens and in walks Lucas with Josh, Victor and another vampire I don't recognize. All four look tense and angry. "Lucas, I barely get out before he pulls me to him, are you alright?",he glares at the new man in my living room. "I will be fine once this fucker leaves",the vampire scoffs but his eyes take me in and I feel disgust. I don't like his eyes on me and I glare back. "my queen ",he voices and I laugh out loud. "I'm not anyones queen",he sighs. "your our vampire queen and I was told to come collect you to help rule our coven. My king believes your his mate",Lucas growls again in anger. "I ha
Gemma pov It wasn't long after that day I was thrown into training and I fucking hated it. Victor wasn't easy on me or gentle which pissed me off. "your a half vampire Gemma fucking act like it",he threw a punch at me and I jumped back. "what the fuck is your deal!",I yelled chest heaving. He was intentionally being a douchebag. "no rogue or vampire will stop to give you a break or be gentle so stop being all delicate your a fucking hybrid act like it !",he snarls back and slams open the door as he leaves. I'm hurt as I stand trying to catch my breath and I fight to not cry. I thought he was my friend and I thought he cared about me. I was obviously wrong. I wiped my sweat drenched face and headed to shower where I would cry silently. After a hot shower I headed home and put on a fake smile to hide from Lucas. "how was training?',he rocked Jace as he looked at me a beautiful smile on his lips. I wanted to cry. "fine",I went for food. You liar my vampire speaks up. Yeah well I ca
Lucas povI carry Gemma out after dressing her. Once she is in bed I smile as her eyes drift shut. We fucked her good my wolf murmurs as I watch her sleep. She needs us to be gentle, I say as he huffs, she is bruised bad and extremely underweight if we go to rough we could hurt her. My wolf sighs in annoyance and I sigh with him. I move close and brush her hair back as I cover her up. I don't hear my dad or mom as I stare at her. "son, I jump and turn, we brought Jace and food",I smile and take my pup kissing him. Fuck he is cute."thanks",I hold him gently. Dad checks Gemma and hisses at her bruising. She looks horrible but I'm thankful she is alive and here."she needs to eat more",he sets up our food."Gemma, my mom touches her arm, wake up honey I brought Jace and your food",I watch her wake slowly and smile. I place Jace in her arms as I watch her cry. My dad looks ready to cry with her."he is cute ",I kiss her head."hi my sweet little guy, she kisses our pup, I missed you",I m
Lucas pocI shower us after our fun and look my mate over. Still thin but fucking beautiful. I kiss her head and dry us before pulling on clothes. She hugs me as I stand there smiling."they want you and Claire my love, I kiss her pout, once you fully train you and her will be unstoppable. So let us hope the warriors get the rest of them",she sighs as I pick her up and head to my bed. I gently place her there and grab a shake hoping she drinks it."I'm not even strong Lucas",she looks up at me as she sips her chocolate shake."yes my love you are, I brush her hair back, your the strongest she wolf I ever met. You dealt with a lot while I was in my coma and you stayed strong",she looked away at the last part but it is true I admire her grit. Gemma pushed forward even when she was exhausted she kept going. Even when she wanted to give up she kept going so I know my girl is strong as hell."I don't feel strong Lucas I fell apart as soon as you woke up",I gather her close and kiss her lips
Lucas povAfter my dad's visit I took Gemma again and tucked her in so she could rest. Was I horny? Fuck yes but my mate needed sleep. Josh came in and smiled."heard about your moon goddess visit",he looked at me waiting. "yes she loves popping up and surprising me",he sat."what she say exactly?",I sighed."our mates are considered a double powerhouse together. Others want that power for themselves and my all time favorite we got a battle coming. I was told to work hard to walk because it will happen soon",he raked fingers through his hair frustrated. "when do we get breaks?",my thoughts exactly I sighed."I hope soon, I looked at Gemma, my mate needs some care and not stress. Moon goddess said once she trains fully the shit starts. I assume we are being watched",he looked up worry in his eyes."we don't need this bullshit Lucas, he growled, I just want peace forever ",I feel the same. All we do is fight it seems. We both sigh and I look at Gemma with worry. Training seems so damn
Lucas povGemma sobbed in my arms and fuck if it didn't make me tear up with her. She held on and I felt my legs but it went away again. I felt her warmth against them but I still stayed quiet. I won't tell her till I can walk."I'm sorry my love, I kissed her head, I'm here now baby",she sniffles and holds on tight. I feel her shivering and I ease her back."I'm cold",her teeth chatter my wolf growls viciously as we look our mate over with worry. "Gemma what the hell?",she continues shaking and fear fills me. I mind link doc to get in here as I hold her to me.Doc rushes in and I look at him helpless as he turns her gently. Gemma shakes and he covers her."Gemma honey, he starts but she is shaking so bad he can't get vitals right, nurse!,he yells, warming blankets. Serum shot and page Alpha Josh",fuck I'm not use to it yet as I hear them call Josh alpha. He comes fast as they try to warm her. "what happened?",he looks worried. "she can't get warm alpha",I touch her and I'm scared s
