Claude’s POV Present… Previously… “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 are 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 flashed through my memory at once. Flashback… Claude’s POV I wake up in a bed, chained. The chains on my wrist and ankles dig into my flesh when I try to move. I wince at the soreness. I blink the tears away and look around me. We’re in Denver’s house, I realize. Apart from the white ceiling, I don’t see anything else. But I’ve spent most
Claude’s POV It still feels like a dream. I can’t believe that the Moon Goddess gave me a chance to be reborn and correct all the things that were supposed to not happen in my past life. “What did I just say Miss Claude?” I am interrupted by my teacher who stood in front of me. “Oops!” I mumbled underneath my breath. “So sorry ma’am I was just thinking of some things” I replied and was given an eye roll. Okay I get that she doesn’t like me but what the fuck. I don’t care if she doesn’t like me because the gate to heaven doesn’t pass through her house. “Just because you are the Alpha’s daughter doesn’t mean you have to right to zone out in class like that. You can still get punished” she shouted making all heads turn towards me. Of course Victoria was part of them. “Ma’am today has been a tough day for me so don’t add to it just do the work you came to do here” I looked at her in the eye and leaned back to my chair. She looked at me angrily and before I could utter a word my fac
Claude’s POV As I stepped into my house I heaved a breath and looked around. “Seems like nothing changed” I said to Ria who grunted in reply. “Sweetie, what are you doing back by this time?” I heard my mum's voice and froze, not wanting to turn back to see her face. She walked up to me and held my hands waiting for my response but I couldn’t seem to say a word. She was like the mum I had before they disowned me. So bubbly and happy. And I know that she doesn’t even remember anything from my previous life but I still feel upset about it. “Won’t you answer?” She asked, still looking at me, which made me snap out of my thoughts. “Oh I have notes of the class so there was no need attending it” I lied and saw her frown. “Your teacher just called me before you came in. Why are you lying and you are acting weird” she said and I laughed. “Don’t be so tense, mom. You know she doesn’t like me so she is just trying to make you angry with me” I smiled at her and made her sit on the couch.
Claude’s POV Continuation…. “So you mean Victoria put a spell on Denver to make him think that I was cheating on him with his best friend?” Claude asks her wolf, Ria, who nodded in response. She couldn’t believe that someone could do something so cruel just because she loves my mate. My mate for that matter. “Claude are you okay? Or should I get Denver for you because you seem to not remember me” Eric asked coming slowly to me. “I don’t remember him Ria what should I do now” I asked Ria feeling guilty and nervous because it seems like we were really close due to the concern in his eyes. “Just act normal and relieve that he saved you from those bunch of werewolves” Ria says and went back to her cage. I looked up at him and saw that he looks clean and he finally wore a clothe but just boxers. I saw a stream before so he must have washed the blood off himself there. “Can you wear a shirt” I asked him shyly and he laughed loud making me confused. Isn’t he meant to take it seriously
Claude’s POV “How did you know I was here if you weren’t casted upon by a spell?” I asked him and he stopped dead in his tracks and turned around. “Is there need to ask silly questions like that? You heard just now that there is a probability that the Blod Moon Pavk could be under attack so let him go there now” Victoria says and my parents nod their heads in agreement. I looked at Denver and wished that although everyone is the same as my previous life at least he should believe this once and find out that Victoria did all this. He sighs and walks up to me. I closed my eyes waiting for the impact of a slap or something on my face. After what seemed like hours I slowly opened my eyes and saw him looking at me amusely and I think I saw a glint of love in his eyes. I looked down and surprisingly he pulled me for a hug and whispered. “I believe you so don’t worry too much when I am back from my pack we will talk about all this”. This was all I had to hear and I jumped on his body a
Author’s POV Although Claude successfully made today's issue clear, she still knew that there would be more challenges on the way in her life and it may be harder than her previous life. Denver finished applying the ointment to the wound on her leg and he looked up at her. “Thank you for stopping me from killing Eric because I would have regretted it after finding out that a spell was also cast upon him”. Denver says with his eyes full of love and fear for Claude. “Why do you always look like you are afraid of losing me? It’s not like I am dying anytime soon” Claude told him jokingly and laughed expecting him to join her but he looked broken and she stopped. “Maybe in my previous life, I lost someone I really loved” Denver mumbles under his breath but she caught on to it and frowned. Claude couldn’t believe what she heard. Does that mean that he remembers his past life or what? Many thoughts were running through her mind at the same time. She laughed awkwardly and he looked at
Claude’s POV Continuation… Removing the straps of my top, he placed wet kisses on my shoulder. His touch was creating a burning sensation in my body. I could feel butterflies in my stomach. He then came up to me and packed my lips. “Tell me now if you want me to stop or I wouldn’t be able to hold myself any longer.” I shook my head slowly. He again connected our lips. He wrapped his one hand through this hair kissing him back. Pulling away from the kiss, he made me sit up. Taking off my top he threw it somewhere. He eyes my body and then comes down sucking on my chest. His hands then went to the back, unclasping my bra then he took my breast and started massaging my left breast with his hand sucking on my neck. He sat up on the bed and started removing his singlet, his eyes were not leaving mine. I looked away in embarrassment. “Look at me,” He said in an extremely seductive tone. I did. He threw his shirt, and I got the chance to take a look at his body. It is not that I hav
Author’s POV She couldn’t just understand why they did that every fucking time. Once again she failed in making Denver understand that Claude is not good for him.She knows that they have been childhood friends before she even came into the picture but he hasn’t even looked at her in a mature way before.He just places his hands on her shoulder every fucking time like she is his little sis and it is so annoying every time he does that.Victoria thought as she walked alone in the forest where they had all left her once again. Or should she just instigate an attack in the pack and they could just kill her and no one else?No, she couldn’t do that after the incident that just took place a few minutes ago they would eventually suspect her.She couldn’t believe that Denver hugged Claude even after seeing her and Eric’s lips locked together. Did he trust her so much or her plan didn’t just work out?She made sure to pay the witch well so the spell would work out but she obviously didn’t do
“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
