Claude’s food has long been put aside and she had long taken her pills. Now she lay down on Denver’s bed as he talked to her about everything and nothing. She had missed this, she had missed him and she realized that this was important. To banish the thoughts of a past with them and other people, they needed to spend as much together as possible. They needed to remember what it was like when their worlds revolved around each other.And for the third time that day, Claude’s gaze dropped to his lips, thinking that she needed to remember what it felt like to have Denver’s lips on hers. She had barely completed that thought when Denver’s door slammed open with a force that could’ve very well removed it from its hinges. Claude jumped in shock and Denver grabbed her hand before standing protectively right in front of her.Before he could completely block her view though, she saw the intruder and her heart dropped at the sight of her dad. In the midst of it all how had she manged to forget t
For the first time since the meeting begun, Claude was finally present. For the entirety of it, she had felt like she was outside a box and the rest of the room was in it and she was just watching and hearing echoes of what was going on.Now, she sat up straighter and looked around the room, her eyes finally stopping at the two girls at he foot of the table. The two people that had plotted to kill her, succeeded in killing another and destroyed her relationship with her mate. Could she really let them just be exiled like that? She felt thoroughly unsatisfied in advance of such a turn of events. “No. I don’t want that.” She suddenly spoke and all eyes turned to her. Her father raised a brow and Denver’s hand found her thigh. “What do you mean?” Denver asked softly.She transmitted to her father through the mind link that she wanted to speak to her family alone, including Denver without the other people. He gave her a look but still complied and in the next second, it was just her dad
Denver couldn’t believe how things had changed overnight…literally. He had prepared to go to bed that night with the despair he felt, giving up on ever getting his mate back when she had ran up to him, shivering and drenched in rain. He had been given a second chance and for that he was grateful to the moon goddess. She really wasn’t going to allow her children, especially an Alpha and Luna to be torn apart like that, was she?He promised himself that he was going to be very careful with this second chance he had been given and he would spend everyday, loving Claude and proving himself worthy of her love as well. Maybe that was why he was standing in front of her door with a modest bouquet of her favorite flowers.It wasn’t her pack house, but the smaller, more personal house she lived in with her parents. He knocked hoping it would be either her or her mother that answered. Having Alpha blood himself, he would puff out his chest in front of Claude’s dad any day. There was this confid
“Can you even cook?” Claude teased as she walked beside him into the house.Denver raised his brow, “Better than you, I bet.”She chuckled, “We’ll see.”She slipped of her shoes once inside and Denver took them along with his to the closet and bringing back a pair of soft, fluffy slippers for her. She even smiled once she slipped her feet inside it. It was so comfy!She glanced up at Denver, “It doesn’t look like you plan on letting me go back home today. Did you let my mom in on your plans to kidnap me?”Denver chuckled, “I told her there might be a possibility of you staying the night. Not you getting kidnapped. You are too dramatic.”Claude hummed, making her way to the kitchen. So he did have plans for her to sleep over. She wasn’t even informed. His house was empty too…was this really a spontaneous date? Or was she just the only one in the dark. “So, um, what are we cooking?” She asked.“I was thinking pasta. But you can decide.”She smiled, “I love pasta.”Denver grinned and wen
In the blink of an eye, Denver was removing himself from her and in another blink, he was at the other end of the room. Claude breathed heavily as she tried to understand what was happening. She turned to a shirtless Denver who had his back to her and his hands placed on the top of his dresser as he also breathed heavily.“Denver.”His canines had finally gone back to normal before he turned to face her but just as soon as he did he winced and looked up at the ceiling, “Put something on Claude.” He said and she gasped, her hands immediately going to her chest which was covered with nothing but her bra.In the course of their makeout, they had both removed their tops at some point and Denver was disgusted by her, wasn’t he? Tears filled her eyes and she blindly located her shirt somewhere and on the bed and threw it on before kicking herself off the bed.Denver immediately noticed something wrong and cursed when he looked at her again and saw her tear streaked face. He went to her but
Claude woke up as the light from the sun began to peak through the curtains. Denver’s arm was still around her but it was more loose than it had been at first and when she made the smallest move, he suddenly tightened it around her again.She smiled, proceeding to lay a kiss on his cheek and another on his nose and on his other cheek, until she was kissing him all over his entire face. When she kissed his lips, they widened in a closed smile and she giggled.“I never want to wake up in the morning again if it doesn’t happen like this.” He said opening his eyes slowly and she grinned. “Sleep well?” He asked her and she nodded.“Yup and I already know you slept well. Your had me right beside you after all.”Denver threw back his head in laughter, “I guess you deserve to be cocky right now. I actually slept so well because I had you beside me.” He said, pressing a kiss to her lips. Before he could deepen it though, she pulled away, pressing her palm to her mouth.“Omg! Morning breath!” S
“Come in.” He said gruffly, his face only softening when the scent of his mate filled the room and eventually her face came to view.“Someone’s grumpy.”He sighed, rubbing his hand on his face, “Can’t I resign already?”His mate gasped, “You’re tired of being the Alpha of our pack? How could you even say such a thing?”He chuckled at her dramatics, “I see where our Claude learned it from…Speaking of Claude…”“She’s with her mate.” She said before he had a chance to voice out his questions on why he hadn’t seen her for an entire day.His face darkened briefly before he let out a sigh, running his hand through his hair, “If she’s forgiven him then I should too, shouldn’t I?” He asked and it sounded more like a debate with himself than a question to her. “And he’s an Alpha no less. At least for the sake of his pack…I know how much a Luna means to a pack. Our pack would fall without you.” He said to his mate, drawing her in.Before she could respond though, a knock sounded at the door and
“What do you mean, you want to visit them?” Claude asked.She and Nuella had gone to an ice cream place somewhere in town and while she ate her cookies and cream flavored, ice cream she told Nuella exactly why she and Denver were all lovey-dovey again. Nuella’s words, not hers.Nuella looked skeptical even though she accepted it and Claude understood that. It was the same way her parents especially her dad took the whole thing. Perhaps what made her different from them even though she had been the one in the situation was that Denver was her mate and if she was being honest with herself, she never really got over him. Apart from that though, they were both spelled. Denver was not the only one who had done reckless things. She did kiss Eric after all. And she emphasized that to Nuella. It was all the spell and magic talk that made Nuella then suggest that they should visit Victoria and Tasha in prison.Nuella shrugged, “They were moved to this pack, weren’t they?” Claude nodded. “Com
