Claire's POV"You didn't eat meat for a whole year," Gwen asked "Yeah, my grandfather was a hunter, and I walked in on him beheading a chicken when I was twelve. I felt sick when I saw someone eating a piece of chicken," I said"I couldn't imagine going a day without a burger," Gwen said"If you saw what I did. I'm sure you would have stopped eating meat, too," I said, and she looked at me with a weird expression"What," I asked"Nothing," she said, and we were quiet for a moment, just looking into each other's eyes. "It's your turn," She said "I don't know what to ask. You can go again," I said"Have you ever been with a girl?" she asked"No, Have you," I asked"No, but you want to know a secret," Gwen asked"Sure," "I have always been attracted to women, but I know my father won't approve. That's why I dated James all through high school," She said"That sucks," I said"Are you a virgin?" Gwen asked"Yes, are you?" I asked, and she was silent for a moment. "No, I am not a virgi
Claire's POVThe alarm woke me from sleep, causing a groan to escape my mouth in time to prepare for school. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to shower. After showering, I put on a blue sundress and brushed my teeth and hair. Then, I grabbed my backpack and purse and headed to Jennifer's room. Stacy and Jennifer were in the room talking as I walked inside."You two ready to go?" I asked"Can you fix my hair like you did yesterday?" Stacy asked me"Of course," I said It has been almost a month since Jennifer and I moved in with Sean and Tanya Knight. Everything has been going great. Christy and I have become really good friends, and I have also made others friends as well. Jennifer has been doing great, and I am so happy that she has also been making friends and hanging out more with people her age. She and Stacy have become best friends and hand out all the time.I have also become closer to Stephen, Steven, and Gwen. Gwen and I are really close, and we talk about everything
Claire's POV"Hey Claire," Christy said "Hey," I replied as I took my math book out of my locker"You still staying after for cheerleading tryouts, right?" Christy asked"Yes," I said "Good. I will see you later," Christy said"See you," I replied, and she walked away"I didn't know you were trying out for cheerleading, Love," Gwen said"Yeah, I haven't cheered since my parent's death, but I thought I might as well for senior year," I said"I think that's a good idea; you will be both of our cheerleaders," Steven said"You both play football?" I asked"No, I play basketball, and Stephen plays football," Steven said"The cheerleaders cheer for both. I am happy because we are in football season, and I am definitely going to make you my personal cheerleader, Princess," Stephen said and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me to him. "Wouldn't you like that, Princess," he whispered into my ear, causing a shiver and tingles to go through my body?I don't know why but every time Ste
Stephen's POV"You think we moved too fast?" Steven asked"No, I just think she is confused about her feelings. It must be weird to her that she has feelings for all three of us," I said"We need to talk with her," Gwen said"What do you mean? We can't tell her everything yet. She wouldn't believe us and would think we were playing with her," I said"I know we can't tell her everything, but we could talk to her and ask her if she was okay with having a relationship with all three of us. Let her know that we have already discussed it and would like her to be ours," Gwen said"That sounds like a great idea," Steven said"What if she says no?" I asked"I don't think that she will say no. I can tell that she wants us and feels the mate bond. She just doesn't understand why she feels the way she does. We need to get her to trust us and the best way to do that is by letting her know that we want her. Then when we make her ours, we will treat her right," Gwen said"Okay, I think that is a go
Claire's POVStephen kissed me possessively and passionately all at the same time. It was like he was telling me that I belonged to him. His tongue licked my lip, asking for entrance into my mouth, and I didn't hesitate but let him in. A shiver ran through my body as our tongues touched. "Hey, sis can I go_" Jennifer started to say as she opened the door and walked into my room but paused when she saw Stephen and me. Stephen and I immediately pulled away from each other and looked at Jennifer."I am sorry. I can come back later," Jennifer said"It's okay; I have to go talk to Steven," Stephen said and then turned to look at me"I will see you tomorrow, Princess," Stephen said and walked out the door."What was that?" Jennifer"What do you mean?" I asked innocently"You kissed him," "It was nothing,' I said"It didn't look like nothing," "You wanted to ask me something," I said, trying to change the subject"Oh yeah, can I go bowling with Stacy? Tonya said she would take us," she as
Claire's POV "Congratulations, Claire, I knew you would make the team," Christy said We had just walked to the gym to find out if I had made the cheerleading team, and I was happy to see that I did. I hadn't been part of a team since my parent's death because I had to keep a job to provide for Jennifer and me. Tonya and Sean wouldn't let me get one saying that I needed to focus on school. It felt good having them care about me and Jennifer's well-being, but at the same time, it felt weird. Nobody had cared about Jennifer or me since my parents. The twins and Gwen were not in school because they all had a meeting with their parents. They said that they would come to pick Jennifer, Stacy, and me up after school, but I told them we could ride home with Christy. I could tell they wanted to come, but when I told them I wanted to ride home with her, they agreed. Thanks, I am so happy I made it," I said, and we began walking toward our next class, which was choir. "I need to go to the
Claire's POV"Oh my, Goddess. Claire, what happened to you? Your face is bruised," Christy asked as I walked back into the school. After I somehow sent two strong men and Monica falling to the ground, I completely forgot that one of them had smacked me hard in my face. I thought about if I should tell Christy what happened and decided that I should. "Monica showed up at the football field," I said, and she had a worried expression on her face."Let's go to the nurse's office so she can look at this bruise," Christy said "I don't want to go there because then they will call Tonya and Sean," I said"I think you should get it looked at to make sure you don't have a concussion or something," Christy said"I am fine. It doesn't even hurt that bad," I said, and she let out a sigh"Well, at least let me look at it. I am going to ask the nurse for an ice pack," she said, and we went to the nurse. She returned with an ice pack, and we went into the bathroom. The Alphas and Gwen are not goin
Claire's POV"Hey, sis, what happened to your face?" Jennifer asked, and then I heard a loud growl. It sounded like a wild animal and startled me. I looked around to see if there was anything around, but all I saw were students."Did you hear that?" Jennifer asked, letting me know that she heard it too"Yeah, it sounded like an animal," I said"It was probably just a dog or something," Gwen said "I guess," I replied"So what happened to your face, Princess?' Stephen asked"Nothing, I just fell down the stairs while I was going to class,' I said"And hit your head," Gwen asked"Yes, but I am fine," I said with a smile"You need to be careful, sis," Jennifer said"I know," I repliedI looked over at the twins, Gwen and Christy. They were starting into space like they weren't here mentally or something. It was like they were having a personal conversation with themselves that only they could hear."Are you guys okay?" I asked, but they didn't answer me. I don't even think they heard a w
