Author's POV

“Claude!!! I’ve been waiting for you, let’s get going else we’ll be late for class.” I heard Victoria say.

She was running towards me, with smiles on her face, fake smiles. Gosh, it was so obvious, I wonder why I never noticed it.

“Well for numerous reasons, you were dumb, gullible, and weak,” Ria answered, chuckling.

“Yeah, I know. You don’t have to rub it in!!” I pouted.

She finally got to where I stood and hugged me awkwardly, I forced myself to stay in place and not push her away.

“Claude.” Someone said, behind her. I looked up to see the one I dreaded seeing the most. Denver. My mate. The life we once had hard flashed through my memories at once.

THE PAST LIFE…

May 11th 1995

Author’s POV

“Miss Mary, can you get me my Barbie doll? Denver threw it on the roof and now I can’t get it out.” Claude sobbed.

“He did? Where is he? He deserves to be spanked.” Miss Mary, Claude’s own maid said.

“He is over there,” she pointed, still in tears.

We have a situation at hand!” She called him. She knew he was probably hiding around one of the bushes and from the odd way the berry bushes looked She knew at once that he was behind it. He did not comment. “Come on, I know you are hiding behind those berry bushes so quit acting like a cry baby and come out of there!!” She yelled, festering with her hands. She heard a loud some of the protest. It came from the direction of the bush. Soon after he was out, there were leaves on his clothes and hair. He had a tight expression on his face as he was headed her way m. She chuckled at the sight of him. “Nice decoration boy.” She teased, laughing. The girl turned around and when she saw Denver she couldn’t take her eyes off him. “What happened?” He asked, ignoring her laughter. “Do you mean,

The most important birthday in the life of a werewolf. Wolves about to clock eighteen usually have the feeling of both happiness and nervousness. They are happy because they get to wolf out on that day, they also get to find their life partners known widely as their “mates” and they are nervous because of two things; one, uncertainty. The moon goddess is a being with the highest IQ. She understands the wolves and how much they respect hierarchy, so from time to time she chooses one quarter of the wolves coming of age in a particular year and does as she pleases them. Sometimes a wolf conceived from the mating of two omegas can wolf into a beta. Other times a wolf conceived of the mating of an alpha and a beta can produce a delta or even an omega. She does this to maintain the balance in

It was very common for intruders to interrupt a wilding ceremony and the likelihood is greater when it is the wilding ceremony of the alpha’s daughter. Bearing his fangs, Denver stepped forward, waiting for who it was to come in. The door pushed open and Victoria stepped in with a gloomy expression. “Denver?” she called out. It was gradually approaching midnight, other wolves see clearly at this time bit itbese a different story for the Omega wolves. “Vicky? What are you doing here?!” he called with a laugh, he relaxed his shoulders. “Are you saying I shouldn't be here? I can go if you want me too.” I told him, I didn't mean it though, even if I wanted to leave, it won't be when Denver is here. I love being around him, it makes me happy. “No, no, no. How will I want you to leave, I'm just concerned, you showed up really late, Claude is uptight the whole day because you weren't around to cheer her up

More like a dumbass.“Don’t walk so slow we have to be fast, it will soon be time,” Claude said, pulling my hand.We stood in front of her parents and I bowed my head in respect. “Good day, Alpha and Luna”. Claude went close to Luna and whispered something in her ear which made Luna smile and turn toward me.“Victoria, is it true that today is your birthday too,” she asked and I forced a smile and nodded. “Why didn’t you say anything? We could have prepared something for you, but anyways you both can celebrate it together”.“I didn’t want to be a burden,” I said looking down at my feet. She came towards me and hugged me. “You are like family to us so it wouldn’t be a burden. If you need anything don’t hesitate to tell me” she whispered softly in my ear.This is the type of family I wanted to be born into, not a stupid omega bloodline. Claude has

It’s time” I told her, holding her hands. We stood up and made our way to the circle where we are going to shift.“Where is she going to Alpha? Claude is meant to shift alone. It’s a tradition!” An elder asked my dad while referring to Victoria.“She is family and today is her birthday so I can assure you that nothing will go wrong so don’t be worried,” he said to the pack and they nodded.Victoria rubbed my hand in comfort and smiled which made me calm down a little bit. This is a huge deal for me because everyone is expecting much more from me since I am the soon-to-be Alpha.We were close to the circle when Victoria's hand left mine and she fell down to the ground. I bent to carry her up but she groaned in pain.“She is shifting” I heard someone whisper in the crowd and my eyes widened. A

    “Oh come on, you only give them so many gifts 'cause they don’t see you in person as much as they do me.” She laughed and Claude’s mom rolled her eyes.“The question is which grandparent gives them the most gifts Kristy.” She shrugged, proud that she had won in that category.“You’re too smug for your own good.” Denver’s mom complained just as her mate came in, twins latched unto him. Claude and Denver’s son Ricky was resting quietly on his chest while Krystal their little girl was more interested in pulling her grandfather’s hair until she got a reaction.“Someone should take her, please. My scalp is burning.” He complained and the two women giggled. He had loosened up a bit since officially handing over the Alpha position to Denver yet anyone who saw the way he played with his grandkids would still be shocked out of their minds. “I think she’s going to try to get you back all the days of your life for wanting to pick favorites between her brother and her.” Claude’s mom laughed.“Yea

    “Oh goddess, Denver! Why didn’t you take her to the hospital?” His mom ran in looking very anxious with the pack doctor coming in after her. He had called Claude’s parents as well but he knew that they’ll come a bit later due to distance. Denver thought he was going to faint with how anxious he was. He had read all the books about babies but he never thought he’d need to have any basic knowledge of the whole labor process because his mate would be in labor for thirty minutes with no professional at all and only frightened old him. Claude was in so much pain, it was tearing him apart.“I didn’t think we’d make it in time.” He said, raking his fingers through his hair. “Her water had broken and she suddenly started having contractions. I was scared she might start crowning in the car.” He paced as he spoke and his mom went to place a hand on his shoulder, squeezing it.“Breathe my boy.” She said softly but it only seemed to break him because he practically collapsed on her while she wra

    Telling everyone ended up being as big a task as Denver anticipated. His mom was glad obviously and she had to have been the easiest to break the news to. She had cried as she hugged him saying that they didn’t know how much joy it brought her. He remembered the way he had treated her when he was under Tasha’s spell and the guilt was about to do him over when Claude placed her hand on his back and rubbed gently as though she could immediately feel the damp in his mood.It was the little things like that that made him swear all over that he’d sooner put a bullet in his head than hurt her again. He was already struggling to tell himself that he deserved her as it was. She was the stronger one out of them, he decided. Even when her parents had taken the news not as well as she would hoped, with her dad vehemently against it and refusing to give his blessing and her mom worried that he’d hurt her again, she had been the strong one. Telling him that they should give it time and that even t

    “You sure you still don’t want to see the baby?” The doctor asked. “I know you want the gender to be a surprise but we can keep that part hidden.Claude thought for a second, “Hmm.” Then she turned to Denver, acknowledging him for the first time since he came in, “What do you think, Denver?”Caught unawares, his eyes widened and he sat up straight, restraining himself from looking back to check if there was perhaps some other guy named Denver behind him that she was speaking to. He cleared his throat, “Whatever you decide is alright.” He said quickly.“I want you to decide though.” She pressed and Denver felt his heart rate quicken. Was this some sort of trick question?“Well, sure.” He finally said, “I’m sure it’ll be alright to see the baby as long as yo keep the gender hidden.”The doctor nodded once before turning to Claude who nodded back. The once dark screen was suddenly turned on and Claude gasped. It wasn’t picture clear but you could see the child moving inside her.“There’s

    Immediately the curfew was dissolved, Nuella was shifting and running through the woods from her pack to her best friend’s. A curfew had been called the morning after the attack and had only been pulled once the woods and entire area around the two two packs and even the other neighbouring packs had been combed thoroughly for any lingering rogues.Once that was done, Claude’s father had demanded that his family and other pack members be brought back to complete their treatment in their pack. That night of the attack, when he was finally able to and had gone back to his house, he nearly fainted when he found it splattered with blood and dead bodies and his mate and daughter were nowhere to be found. Luckily, his Beta came in right on time to inform him that they were safe.It was the first time Claude would see her father cry. He had bent over her bed, holding her hand and his mate’s who sat beside him and wept. He cried for how close he had come to losing them, he cried for the loss o

    She was still contemplating whether to go straight or drive around and go back to the front of the house when she saw a large black wolf charging in her direction. She felt her wolf begin to grow restless and when her baby kicked in her belly, she gasped.“Denver.” She whispered to herself but he ran past her and her heart sank when she realized who was behind her until she saw him pounce on Tasha through the rear view mirror and without hesitating, he sank his teeth into her jugular. Her blood sprayed out and Denver spat out a chunk of her flesh. Claude immediately averted her eyes, and bringing the car to a stop, she opened the door and bent over before throwing up her entire dinner from the night before and still retching painfully after she had emptied her belly.Sidestepping her vomit, she came down from the car. Now that she was sure that Tasha was dead, she wanted to get back home and make sure her mother was alright. Her father had asked them both to stay safe. She wouldn’t be

    When Claude woke up it was obvious that it wasn't morning yet and it was also obvious that something was very wrong. She soon heard her father racing frantically down the stairs and her mother calling after him. If she wasn't fully awake before, her eyes were definitely wide open now. She jumped out of bed and threw her door open just when her dad was saying that their pack was under attack. She froze as she saw her mother’s face crumple as she pressed her hand to her mouth knowing that her mate had to go and fight and possibly not come back. Her father must’ve noticed too because he came back and gave her a tight hug before whispering something in her ears and pecking her on the forehead. Sighting Claude at the top of the stairs, he sprinted up and did the same before calling out that they should lock all the doors and stay safe and he’d send someone to them soon.Claude’s heart began to beat madly against her ribcage as she feared the worst. It was like dejavu, she thought remember

    When her mom opened the door that day only for Denver’s parents to walk in, Claude went through a lot of emotions at once. There was surprise and then joy and relief for the fact that the Alpha had finally woken from his coma, then came self-consciousness, fear and lastly sadness because he reminded her too much of Denver.But when he sighted her and beamed for a man who didn’t smile much, she pushed all the other emotions aside and focused on the joy and relief first and when he stretched out his arms, she swallowed the lump that formed in her throat before going in for the hug.“Forgive me child.” He whispered before ending the brief hug. Although brief, she found that it really meant a lot. He didn’t seem like a big hugger but she had felt so calm and loved in those few seconds that hug had lasted and when he called her child something in her told her that she had a bigger support system than she realized and it gave her some kind of strength. And when Denver’s mom pulled her in fo

    A long silence ensued after that before Claude broke it, her voice shaky and her breath even shakier, “They know I’m pregnant?” Her head immediately began to swirl with thoughts of people laughing at her just like in her dreams where there were three set of people. The ones that laughed, the ones that shook their heads in pity when she walked by and then there was Denver, a set on his own. The one that was indifferent about it all.From the look on her face, Eric was quick to ease her concerns, immediately getting the hint that she didn’t want them to know, “No, of course not. I only found out, when I got here. All I got from my few days there was that the entire pack was practically against him for his choices.”Claude bit her lip and Nuella threaded her fingers with hers, hoping it would calm her down a bit. “Oh.” She said.“Denver is a real dick for this.” Eric said, his jaw clenched. He felt like going back over there and throwing a punch right at his face but for Claude’s sake he
