CLAIRE

He was worried for me, which I knew of. That was why I kissed him when I did, but I could tell that even as we kissed, his mind was still not settled with me. He was worrying over nothing. At least, I had been in close contact with his brother and nothing significant had happened. Heck, the man didn't even look in my direction just once. I had to convince Alex that I was fine and nothing was going to happen to me, so he could quit worrying. I broke free from the kiss and gave him a brilliant smile.

"While I desire your company and would love nothing else than to spend time with you, you still have to get out of my room," I told him. It was there in his eyes, the urge to strangle me for trying to chase him out of my room. I saw it and smiled at him. "I need to finish the last of my course. I told you about it, didn't I?" I asked, making an excuse for turning him down.

He left the bed and went to my small desk. He sat on it and gave me a small smile. "I'm not going to disturb yo

    ALEXAKIS All through the night, I couldn't find the assurance needed to sleep. After Claire and I almost made out, I let go of the emotion whirling in me to mark the woman as mine forever. I knew that I couldn't afford a slip like that. If I was trying to mark her because of my possessiveness, she would never have the chance to walk away if she determined that she didn't want to be a part of my family, after all. That was one decision right I would never take away from her. So, I made sure I cut the kiss off before she even continued it. Oh, yes, she protested heavily and bitterly. At a point, she even claimed that she knew why I wasn't ready to go beyond the romancing was because I didn't want anyone to find out about us. When I asked how she could come to such an absurd conclusion, she claimed it was because I knew the mating mark would leave mark on her. My mark, which I wanted no one to know off. Of course, I ignored her, knowing that it was only her anger that was speaking for

  • My Wolf, My Alpha   Strange call.

    CLAIRE'S POVToday has just been going like other free days. I didn't know whether to return to the coffee shop or just stay here. I got off the bed and walked over to the curtains, pulling open the curtains of the balcony to look outside at the sun that was high up. I wondered what Alex might be doing at the moment though. I stopped thinking about him and picked up my phone he gave to me and turned it on to go through it when I heard a knock on the door. "Please, come in," I said, wondering who it might be. Would that be Luna Lisa? I shook my head in disagreement. The woman was busy with being overjoyed about her son's appearance to care about me.The door slowly pulled open as Luna Lisa stepped in. Why was I thinking she couldn't be the one? No one would actually disturb my peaceful time except her and Alex, after all."Luna Lisa, " I greeted, and she let out a beautiful smile before she finally spoke up. "It's a beautiful afternoon. Don't you think, Claire? How about we have some

  • My Wolf, My Alpha   In search for Claire.

    ALEX'S POVI slowly drove into the mansion with a lot running through my mind. Nathaniel wouldn't get off my back, and I can't underestimate him. He could do anything at any time. I got out of the car and stepped into the building, sitting comfortably on one of the sofas before the council head, Ivan stepped in. I was actually about to go see Claire, but she was probably asleep for her not to come over to even say hi since I stepped in. "I'm glad you're here, Ivan," I said, and he nodded gently. I signaled to the maids to bring him something to take. "I hope there's no problem for you to come here looking like this?""Alpha Alex. I'm pretty sure you know Sir Nathaniel wouldn't get off your back now that you're the one to occupy the Alpha's position," Ivan said. I rested my back, looking at him. Not Nathaniel again. What did he do this time to get to the notice of the council of Elders? Was he planning to make the entire world come after him before he quit his act of tryant?"Most of

    ALEX'S POVI drove down into two to start my search for her. She would probably be in the coffee shop since she sits there most times, reading and studying. I got to the coffee shop and stepped out of the car hurriedly. I searched the whole coffee shop before walking over to the guy behind the counter. "Did Claire come here?" I asked directly, knowing they would surely know her since she was an ex-worker."Why should I tell you?" The guy asked and I slipped two notes before him and he smiled. "She didn't come here at all. I didn't see her at all today." I gritted my teeth before rushing out of.the cafe, trying to map out the whole town to look for her. She wouldn't possibly be in the mall because her credit cards were still intact on the table she puts the. She didn't seem to take anything out of.the house. I started to fear that what if she was hypnotized and pulled out of the house. There's nothing that can't happen actually and with Nathaniel out there, he is very unpredictable

  • My Wolf, My Alpha   The strange call.

    ALEX'S POV"Why don't you tell Luna Lisa about this situation? She still doesn't know that Nathaniel is the bad guy here," Claire said to me as I led her to her room. That was totally a bad idea. No mother would want to hear that her son was already turning into a serial killer. "She won't take it well at all. Just imagine how she would react if she finds out that her beloved son, the one she thought that she knew the best, had turned into something that was unimaginable. She is going to break down, crying her lungs and eyes out, Claire. If that would even be the worst of the situation, I might not panic. But I am afraid she might get a heart attack and lose her life because of it," I explained to Claire, who seemed to understand what I just said. "So what's better is not to tell her anything about it." She said, and I nodded. "Unless Nathaniel tells her, and it will probably be to his disadvantage because mother might take actions," I said as I pulled the door to her room open.

  • My Wolf, My Alpha   The gathering.

    CLAIRE'S POVI must have slept really late. I stood up from bed and pulled open the curtains. Alex wasn't in the room again, and it was not that I was expecting him to be in the room, but at least he had been there till I fell asleep for the past few days. I pushed open the balcony door and took in a deep breath of fresh hair as I looked down at the garden from above, and it did look beautiful and colorful. I stepped out of the room after changing into a casual dress to get some coffee down in the kitchen. The maids bowed as they saw me, pausing the dusting and cleaning they were busy with. I walked towards the kitchen, and I could already perceive the sweet aroma of food cooking. As I stepped into the kitchen, I saw Alex standing before the cooker in an apron. Well, that was sexy. He wasn't dressed up as usual. He had nothing on the upper part of his body, and only the apron covered his chest. His back looked inviting, and I couldn't help but admire its broadness.

  • My Wolf, My Alpha   Surprise visit.

    CLAIRE'S POVAlex drove us to one of the fanciest restaurant in town and they didn't actually serve the type of food I was used to. "So it's kind of like cook some dishes yourself?" I asked him before we got out of the car, and he just smiled. "Just wait and see." He said as we both got out of the car. Everyone outside looked at us with keen interest. I was wondering what exactly is it that they are staring at. Alex led me into the restaurant and damn, it was so big and beautiful. The decor was amazing and beautiful. Although it had people a bit much in it, it still looked beautiful. We were led to a table to eat and in the middle of the table, there was a grill. It was built in with the table and I was starting to understand what kind of food we were going to eat. The waiters and waitresses served us already grilled fishes, raw diced pork meat with seasonings in a small bowl. There were other dishes and now they brought a chopstick. I'd only used it once and I didn't know if I cou

    Chapter 164CLAIRE'S POV "Nathaniel." Luna Lisa said in an excited voice as she rushed over to hug him. My hand stopped mid air as I stared at Nathaniel who was hugging her back. His eyes shifted from her to me and an evil smirk crept up his lips and I could feel shivers all over my body. "Where have you been Nathaniel? I've been really worried." Luna Lisa asked as she checked up on Nathaniel lovingly why still had his eyes on me. My hands frantically dropped and the plate dropped on the floor, shattering into pieces with the cookies and biscuits flying in different directions. I was using all my self control to make sure the tea in my hand didn't drop too so I hurriedly placed it on the table and tried to stand up when Alex rushed down the stairs looking worried. When he set eyes on Nathaniel, I could tell immediately that he wasn't happy at all about it.

  • My Wolf, My Alpha   Happily ever after.

    Epilogue. Claire's POV A full year had passed since Alex proposed to me, and I gladly accepted to be his woman. Today, we were taking the final step and getting married.My hand went to my neck where the mating mark was. After I accepted his proposal, he carried me to our room and gave me the mark after a hot, intense sex session. He had wanted the wedding to be carried out two weeks after his proposal, but I told him I wanted to wait. I wanted the pack to accept me as a human. To gain that approval, I learned how to fight with swords and how to shoot arrows, to show them that even if I was a human, I would always be there to fight by their sides if the need ever came. Then, I went ahead to start my own restaurant at the pack.At first, I barely got any customer as they were all weary of me. But little by little, people began to troop in. Now, I had two other branches out in the human world. This helped to show the people that if we ever had the need for cash - which was very unlik

    Claire's POV A week passed after the ordeal we had in defeating the man who tried to claim the lives of so many people. I sighed, praying to the God in heaven that Scott's soul would find relief wherever he was now. He deserved that much for all the trouble he went through in his life."What are you doing, Claire? Wheel me well." Luna Lisa complained, drawing me back to the present."Sorry," I apologized. I moved the wheelchair a little bit faster than the pace I was keeping before. We were on our way out of the mansion to get some fresh air in the garden. Luna Lisa had to use the wheelchair as her legs were still healing. The doctor had, however, assured us that she would be fine and it was taking long to heal because it was a demon's bite."Claire." I heard someone call my name and I turned back, only to see Evie standing behind me, her suitcase already packed and with her."Are you going to somewhere?" I asked her. After the incident, we had gotten somehow closer as we had to comf

  • My Wolf, My Alpha   The last battle.

    ALEXAKIS As soon as Kieran told me through the mind-link that my mate and her sister were safely back in the pack, I felt relief wash over me. I turned to look at Scott, her ex-boyfriend, all the anger in my heart targeted at him.He had endangered the life of the woman I loved, and I was going to make sure that he paid for it. No matter what anyone said about it, I was going to make sure that he paid heavily for his action.It was with that anger that I gave him an uppercut on his chin. While he bent over at the shock, I gave him a jab at his side, making sure I went all in to ensure I broke almost all his rib bones, if not all."You..." The man growled at me. He stood upright and gave me an evil smile. I knew he was up to something and that helped me stay alert. He began to morph into something hideous in front of me. Within seconds, there was no longer a man where Scott should have been. Instead, there was a tall dark beast, with two horns on his forehead, red eyes glowing brightl

  • My Wolf, My Alpha   Saved.

    Claire's POV After waiting for what felt like an eternity, even thinking that the man I was waiting for would no longer come, I was shocked when I saw him finally make an appearance. The tears that stopped flowing before came again, afresh. My heart wrenched within me, and I struggled to breathe well. Why? Why would he come here? Why did he risk his life like that?Our eyes met, and the man smiled at me. I shook my head at him as he started walking to where I was. When he got to me, he sighed."I am here now." He consoled me. It was clear that he thought I was crying because I was happy I saw him. I shook my head at him to show him that he was wrong about his insinuation. Still, he didn't get what I was trying to say."Alex, you need to run!" I finally let out amid my tears. I looked left and right to see if Scott and his men had gotten a whiff about Alex's appearance and were now on their way in here. When I didn't see them rushed in, I sighed, a little bit relieved about that. "L

    Claire's POV "Scott, I am begging you," I pleaded again. I didn't care how pathetic my voice was. All I knew was that there was no way I was going to let the man kill Alex just because of a mistake that my father made."Why do you think–" his phone rang, cutting him off. "Really? Good." He said. Then, he cut off the phone. The kind of look he gave me made me cold all of a sudden."What is it?" I asked, feeling scared already."Guess who is coming over soon?" His voice held the malicious excitement he felt. "Alex! He is going to come here soon, and I will have so much fun killing him." He let out.My eyes widened in shock, and my breath became hitched."Do you want to know how he is going to die soon?"I shook my head to stop him. He ignored me and continued anyway."I plan to corner him and hit him when he least expected it." He said with a small evil laughter."You..." My voice trailed off as I realized that the man was gone already, leaving me alone."All of you, leave the building

    Claire's POV It felt like forever since I got trapped in this basement where the light was never in and made it hard to tell when it was either night or day. The horror of not knowing how long it had been since I was in this hellhole made my heartbeat pound even faster. There was also the awareness that I no longer have a father to reach out to. Even though the bridge between us was rough, my heart sank now that I was aware that it had been burned forever. What made it worse? Knowing that the man and I were not on good terms before he died. How was I supposed to live on now knowing that my father hated me?I wanted to get angry with Evie over the death of my only family and how she played a part in it, but she lost Becky also, and I knew how much hurt she was going through for that. Besides, she was my family also no matter how hard we fought with each other."Claire, we need to escape." She said to me frantically again. I shook my head at her since the bandage was still covering m

  • My Wolf, My Alpha   Revelations.

    Claire's POV Scott!" There was no doubt in my heart that I was relieved to see a familiar face even if it was that of the jerk who cheated on me with my sister.After I left the car and went in, I was surprised to see the door open. I thought it was so because they - Father, Becky, and Evie - were all home. I stepped inside, but it was empty. I went to Father's study but he was not there. After I searched all the places that I could, I swallowed my nervousness and went to Becky's room to see if she was there, but then she was not in the room either. A quick visit to Evie's room revealed the same ordeal.The house felt bizarre at that point, and I had a bad feeling flushed over me. I ran out of the house to see if I would see them, but nothing of such happened. I was about to move to the woodshed to see if they were there taking care of the games they hunted the night before when I saw Scott standing in front of me."Scott!" I called again. Even though the man and I never exchanged wo

  • My Wolf, My Alpha   The plans.

    ALEXAKIS I wasn't sure what exactly was making my heart feel like it had been shattered into two. Was it how Claire left me after I thought that she was going to stop and think about the love between us? Or was it because the house now seemed empty without her?I wanted her close to me - that was a fact. If I hadn't stepped into the position of the Alpha already, I would have damned every other thing and asked her to leave with me to a faraway place where we would be happy together, without anyone judging us.But I was already one, and she felt out of place.I knew it was necessary for her to take the break as she truly needed it, but I was against her going over to her parent's house. Still, that was the only safe place I knew would work for now. That didn't make my worry lessen any bit, though.Apart from her family treating her like trash, I was worried that Nathaniel might make a move for her now that she was no longer under my protection."We are here, Alpha."I looked up and sa

  • My Wolf, My Alpha   Second thoughts.

    Claire's POV After contemplating my decision for a while, I finally came to a conclusion. It would be better for me to leave Alex and the pack, even if it was only for a while. Maybe when I would return, the animosity these people had toward me would be gone."Alex, can I have a word with you?" I asked. We were seated in the living room. He was busy with some files while I had my laptop in front of me, but I couldn't concentrate on anything I was learning on the screen. The man looked up from his work and gave me a gentle smile."I'm all ears, love." He said, the smile still plastered across his face."I want to leave," I let out quickly. I was afraid that if I hesitated, I would never be able to say it to him. I winced as he dropped the files in his hand on the floor and rushed over to where I was, holding my hands."Why? What is it?" He asked in a very gentle tone. "I just... I need a break," I told him."I know. I've been feeling the way you keep pulling away from me recently. I
