Hello dear readers! I know I have been absent for a while now and I am really sorry for it. My whole family had been suffering from Covid and my father in law died because of it. I have been busy with the ceremonies, traveling between states and illnesses for a while now and couldn't get to writing even though I wanted to. I am feeling better now and I wi be consistent from now. Please continue supporting me just like you did. Thank you everyone, I truly appreciate each one of you!
Liam had always taken pride in his ability to plan things ahead of time. His biggest plan so far had been to make Claire fall in love with him, paving the way for him to become the Alpha like he always dreamed of. Everything had been going smoothly exactly like he planned until the night Claire turned eighteen. Just like he planned, she had fallen head over heels for him, looking at him as if he was her entire world. He had been careful to rile her up to fight Alpha Gavin by the time she turned eighteen. Just like Liam wanted, she rebelled against her father by marking him even when she knew he was not her mate, like she had hoped. But that was where things started going wrong. It was like she changed into an entirely new person the moment he marked her. He had been planning to get her to mark him the moment she wakes up so that he could have the right to claim the Alpha position once he gets rid of Gavin. But the stupid woman foiled all his carefully laden plans when she refused to
Claire leaned against a tree, panting hard and fighting the dizziness that threatened to drown her. She had run away from Liam, her instincts guiding her outside the packhouse once she realised she had marked Liam under the effects of the drug. She wanted to be as far away from him as she could and, if possible, never see his filthy face ever again in her life. How dare he drug her and make her mark him? How dare he treat her as a toy he could manipulate?! But now she was in no state to act out her anger and all she could do was try to stay away from his sight. Her priority was to save herself from his lecherous advances when she was drugged and vulnerable. Claire looked around, her gaze taking in her surroundings, and she realized that in her panic, she had run into the forest. But Liam may come looking for her and she had to be in a place he wouldn’t think of looking for her. And she just knew the perfect place for that. Taking a deep breath, Claire gathered her strength before ru
“What?" Sebastian blurted out in shock while Claire glared at him.“I said not him!” She snarled before letting out a tired sigh. “Please don’t call him,” she repeated in a defeated voice and Sebastian stared at her with surprise, a strange warmth filling his chest. He felt blank for a moment as he tried to process the information, and then felt his lips stretch into a smile as realization dawned. She said she didn’t want Liam, the guy she was supposedly in love with! In fact, she looked absolutely revolted at the idea of seeing him, let alone letting him touch her. A strange thrill coursed through his veins at the thought that maybe Liam wasn’t as important to Claire as he had originally thought. Maybe the relationship between Claire and Liam wasn’t as strong as he believed. Did that mean he still stood a chance?Feeling elated, Sebastian smiled down at Claire, but his smile faded when he saw the obvious agony on her face. This was not the time to be petty and think of his chances wi
Claire looked up at Sebastian with a dazed smile, still feeling high from the climax she had just had under his skillful fingers. Even when she was drugged, she could still feel his every touch searing into her body, making her beg for more. She would have claimed it was the drug’s effects, but she knew very well that it was all him. “Thank you,” she said, but her words ended in a whisper as her eyelids drooped and she fainted, making Sebastian catch her reflexively. He looked down at her with worry and, seeing her breathing calmly, a small smile adorning her face, he relaxed. She was just worn out and fell asleep. Silly woman, he thought with a smile as he caressed her face with a smile. Slowly, he adjusted her clothing and picked her up. Seeing that it was already evening, he started walking towards the packhouse, mindful to stay out of anyone’s sight. After all, he couldn’t let anyone see his mate when she was in such a vulnerable state.Once he reached her room, Sebastian placed
Sebastian looked down at a still sleeping Claire who was now wearing her shirt, which he had found lying on the bed. He wondered what was happening with the fight outside when he heard a knock on the door. He stood up to answer before pausing. This was the room of a woman who was marked by another man and, logically, he had no business being here, especially when she was sleeping. He would certainly look like a creep to someone who didn’t know the actual situation.He frowned, wondering if that mattered to him. Then he shrugged. Hell no. He didn’t care what anyone thought of him. The only thing he was worried about was the wellbeing of his mate. He will stay in this room until he could make sure that she was alright, and the drug didn’t have any other ill effects that he may have missed. He needed to see her wake up fine and if someone has a problem with him being in this room, they will have to fight and defeat him before dragging him out of the room. Determined to face whoever was
Though Claire was still lying in a comatose state, her mind was not relaxed like her body. A thousand thoughts flooded her mind as she remembered everything that had happened to her. She was certain Liam was behind the drugging incident and she even knew his purpose because it was already fulfilled. She had fallen under his trap and marked him just as he wanted. Now he had the right to claim the alpha position if he wanted, and she knew what that meant. Her father’s life was in danger!Claire tried to fight against the bonds that were keeping her under their strings, making her feel as if she was an entity floating in the endless universe without a body. She wanted to wake up and rush to her father, to make sure that he was alright, but when she couldn’t even feel her body, how could she run let alone move? All she could do was wait and hope that whatever happened to her body would undo itself soon and she could wake up. She had lost her father in her last life and she had just gotten
Sebastian waited anxiously as the pack doctor examined Claire, who was still in a comatose state. He watched the doctor like a hawk, trying to decipher his expressions, and when the doctor frowned down at Claire, Sebastian felt his heart skip a beat. Was it something serious? Was Claire alright?“What’s it?” He blurted out, losing his patience, and the doctor turned back to him, shaking his head.“She is absolutely fine. The fever is nothing serious. It should be down by tonight.”Sebastian felt the tension ease off his shoulders hearing the words, but then he frowned.“So why isn’t she waking up yet, doctor? She is totally unresponsive to sounds, and she didn’t even respond when I tried to shake her awake.”The doctor shrugged helplessly.“That’s what I can’t figure out, too. I don’t see any reason for why she isn’t waking up yet. This is so confusing.”Sebastian sighed, feeling as if he was back to square one. Standing unable to aid his mate, he felt like a failure. Even if the doct
Minutes changed into hours and hours into days as Sebastian stayed beside Claire, waiting for her to wake up. And just like that, two days passed by with Claire still in her comatose state. In all this time, Sebastian stayed beside her, taking care of her, his worry for her increasing with each moment that passed without her waking up. It was an evening two days later where Sebastian stood beside her talking to her like he did the last two days. He hoped that somewhere in her consciousness; she was hearing him.“I miss you, Claire. Please come back to me,” he said with a sigh as he took her hand in his. But then he stiffened. Did she tighten her hand on his? Or was he imagining things?“Claire?” He called tentatively while leaning towards her and watched with wide eyes as he saw her eye twitching in response. A response! Finally!Slowly, Claire opened her eyes before blinking at the sudden brightness that assaulted her eyes. Once her vision got adjusted, the first thing she saw was Se
‘Mate… Mate… Mate…’ The word resonated inside his mind as Sebastian stared at Claire blankly. A thousand thoughts and emotions flashed through his mind with such speed that he couldn’t even begin to process what he was feeling. Confusion, surprise, relief, elation…‘The mate bond! Everything is just as it should be! Our mate can finally recognise our bond!’ Caleb yelled from his mind, snapping him out of his shock and Sebastian blinked dazedly. When he had met her for the first time and realized that she was already mated to another man, he had wondered what he had done to make the moon goddess hate him that much. To pair him with such a perfect mate, only to torture him with the fact that she could never belong to him. Seeing her with Liam, his heart had shattered to pieces with each day, but still, he could only hope that she would be happy with her chosen mate. And Sebastian was ready to go to any lengths to make sure of that. But even in his wildest dreams, he hadn’t imagined that
As soon as Claire gave him her blessings to follow Eunice, Devin practically flew out of there before she could change her mind. He flew through the hallways, his mate's scent filling his senses, the only thought in his mind that of meeting her and begging for forgiveness. He messed up big time, and he was ready to grovel all she wants as long as she will give him another chance.Devin came to a stop, panting hard as he looked around the garden where his senses had led him without even making the conscious decision to follow a path. If it was any other day, he may have taken a moment to admire the beauty of the garden, the colorful flowers blooming in it, the gentle breeze carrying the fresh scent of flowers and the butterflies flying from one flower to the next. But at this moment, he didn't notice any of these things because his eyes were frantically searching for a certain woman who had stolen his heart the moment he set his eyes on her. And there, standing with her back towards him
Claire smiled as Sebastian just stood there, staring at her with a confused look on his face. After all, she knew what was going on in his head. And she was the only one who had the answers to the questions flashing inside his mind. He must be feeling something different with their bond and must be wondering what exactly changed to make him feel so. After all, she never mentioned that her bond to Liam was broken and hence he must be thinking she still didn’t know he was her mate. But now that the obnoxious mark from Liam was gone, she was finally free to accept their bond. To let him know she knew what he was to her. There was no need to hide anymore…Claire took a deep breath, closing her eyes as she let herself feel the mate bond to Sebastian. It was the first time in both her lives that she could feel the bond between them. Even Mia was creating a ruckus inside her head, excited at finally feeling connected to Caleb like she was always meant to. Claire couldn’t help but smile at th
93Seeing Devin staring at Eunice, Claire hurriedly pasted a smile on her face before turning to Sebastian and his entourage."You all must be tired after the journey. I will have the servants bring you to your rooms so you could take some rest," she said with a friendly voice that one couldn't argue with. Though Sasha looked like rest was the last thing in her mind, she had to remind herself that she was not in her pack and she had to play nice while she was here. Well, at least for now. So she could only nod at Claire's 'suggestion'. With one last glare at Sebastian and Claire, Sasha left with a servant while Patrick left with another. Meanwhile, Sebastian dismissed his warriors, and it was just Devin, Sebastian and Claire standing next to each other while Eunice stood frozen in her spot.Devin stood there looking at Eunice, his eyes full of yearning and he didn't seem to notice anyone else, even when Claire glared at him vehemently. Claire turned to look at Eunice, who stood there s
Claire walked back and forth in the hallway, an excited smile on her face. She had invited Sebastian to the pack and, to her relief; he had accepted it instantly, promising to arrive the same day. She knew it would take hours before he could wrap up his tasks in the pack and set out to meet her. But still she found herself pacing the hallway while watching the packgrounds even before an hour had passed after the call."I don't think sitting down for a moment will make Alpha Sebastian late, will it?" Claire paused walking and looked up to see Eunice standing there with a bemused look plastered on her face.Claire narrowed her eyes at her friend before huffing and continuing her pacing while looking outside."Seriously? Like you will miss his arrival anyway," Eunice teased, and Claire shook her head."I am just excited to see him," she grumbled, and Eunice chuckled."Right. It has been years since you last saw him, right? Of course you will be excited," Eunice said with a straight face,
After the call with Claire, Sebastian was in a really good mood. Hearing her voice after worrying about her for days was soothing and something about the way she talked to him also felt different. Somehow, it felt as if she was talking more freely to him, even though he couldn't pinpoint what exactly the difference was. He had promised her that he will visit her and he was elated at getting her invitation. Her voice made it clear that she had missed him too, and it made him feel giddy. As Sebastian leaned back in his seat with a goofy smile on his face, he mindlinked Sasha. 'Sasha, come to my office,' he ordered in a merry voice. 'Yes, Alpha,' came her instant reply and within a few minutes, there was a knock on his office door. "Come in!" As Sasha walked in, seeing Sebastian's pleasant smile, she smiled back. "Looks like you are in a good mood, Alpha. What is the matter?" "Well, Alpha Gavin has returned to his pack. I am planning to visit the Ashwood pack for a few days to c
"Take them both to the prison," Gavin ordered, pointing angrily at Liam and Diana.Hearing his order, a few warriors rushed to Liam and Diana. As they dragged them both away, Diana kept yelling at Liam, trying to break away and attack him while Liam ignored her, glaring at everyone in his path.After the two vanished from their line of sight, everyone visibly relaxed, including Gavin. He looked at his daughter, feeling pride and guilt warring inside him. Now he just wanted to spend some time with his daughter alone in peace, without everyone hovering around them. He had always protected his daughter, worried for her, and now, she was the one who saved him from certain death. When did his little girl grow up to be this brave?Gavin turned to the elders with a serious look on his face."Liam and Diana will face the trials for the crimes they committed and we will inform the entire pack of what they had done. After that, they will be executed in front of the entire pack," Gavin announced
Claire turned to Liam who was standing there with an ashen face, and she smiled at him.“Liam, are you familiar with this number?” She asked and Liam stiffened, staring at Claire silently, his mouth looking as if it was sewed shut.Beside Claire, Eunice stared at Liam with her eyes full of rage. She had heard Diana when she revealed that Liam was the one behind her rape. And that he did it just to separate her from Devin so that he wouldn’t help out Claire. Just to make his greedy mission of becoming the alpha easier, he toyed with the life of a girl without any remorse. How could people like this even exist? As she stared at the man who destroyed her life, Eunice felt a sense of justice. He had destroyed her and now it was her chance to do the same to him. The only difference was that he deserved it, whereas she didn’t. “I got this phone from Master Liam’s room. It was hidden in a secret corner of the room, under a loose tile, and no one would have ever noticed it if they hadn’t bee
Everyone watched in shock as Diana launched at Liam, scratching at his face with her long nails, leaving a jagged wound in his face. As Liam hissed in pain and tried to push her off, Diana was acting like someone possessed, suddenly gaining strength enough to rival Liam. As she hissed and clawed at Liam, Claire, who was watching it all with an amused grin, finally turned to Micah."Capture her," she ordered and without missing a beat, Micah leaped into action, pulling Diana off Liam and tying her back amidst her protests. Once Diana was finally under control, everyone looked at Claire, confusion clear on their faces."What's going on? Hadn't she escaped from the pack? How did she come here now?" Elder Marco asked with a puzzled frown while everyone else looked at Claire, waiting for her answer.Claire smiled at them before looking at Micah."Yes, Diana had indeed tried to escape from the pack," she said before nodding at Micah. "But I had asked Micah here to watch over her and he caug
