Hearing that they found evidence of Diana being a traitor from her room, Claire perked up, staring at the elders with raised brows. As far as Claire knew Liam, he will never include Diana in his schemes wholly. He will not involve her in all his plans, let alone leave evidence with her that would come to bite him in his ass one day like this. So was it a coincidence that the elders found 'evidence' of her being the traitor? Or did Liam take the opportunity to make Diana take all the 'credits' and plant that evidence in her room when she escaped?"Shall I see those proofs?" Claire asked, and the elders nodded before calling a maid. Soon, she brought several papers and notebooks over to Claire, who started examining those pieces of evidence carefully. Seeing Claire standing there silently without uttering a word about the evidence, Liam smirked before pasting a concerned mask on his face. Then he moved closer to Claire and touched her shoulders while looking at her with sympathy."I kno
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
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
"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
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
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,
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 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
‘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
