Stephen's POVWhen I walked into the room where the Pack Members were, I could hear all the conversations about Claire being a Red Wolf. There was a lot of worry and confusion. I knew I needed to make it clear that everyone needed to keep Cara a secret. I couldn't help but feel this was my fault. Claire wasn't as in control of Cara as she thought she was. She felt that because she was training and making significant progress, she was, but the truth was she wasn't. That is the reason she lost control and shifted into Cara. I knew it was a bad idea to let Claire fight Karen in the fighting ring. I should have told her no, but I didn't want her to be upset with me. From now on, I was going to go with my instinct. I needed to keep my mate safe even if she got upset with me. "I took Gary to a cell. The whole way there, he wouldn't stop telling me about Alpha Kane and how he was untrustworthy. I am not going to lie. I believe he might be telling the truth. We need to hear him out," Steven
WEREWOLF COUNCIL (Xavier Head of Council)"You are telling me that the Alphas of Crescent Pack killed Norman," I growled. Every Alpha knew they could not kill a Council Member. Not without getting approval from me. I am the one that makes those decisions," I growled. The twin Alpha has been a problem lately. Ever since they found their Mate, there has been nothing but problems. "There is more," Council Member Jacob said"What is it now," I asked in frustration"Someone just sent this video," he said and handed me his phone. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. "Isn't this their Mate, Claire?' I asked. I remembered receiving an invitation to their Mating Ceremony that was just the other night."Yes, that is their Mate." I watched as Claire quickly transformed into a Red Wolf and killed the other she-wolf. "I thought she was human. Isn't her mother human?" I asked"Yes, she is. Her father is the late Beta Michael. The true Beta." I remember when Beta Michael was Beta. He ended up le
Alpha Kane's POVI can't believe those bastards wouldn't let me go with them. I needed to get my hands on that Red Wolf. I never should have called her Mates and let them know she was at my Pack. I should have let them think she was dead. It wouldn't have worked because she was already fully mated with one of her Mates when I met her. Now she is fully mated with them all. I thought acting like the good guy would make them trust me, and they would stay longer in my Pack, but Alpha Stephen didn't trust me. I was pissed off when I found out they killed Turner and Norman. They had been my trusted men in finding the Red Wolf. Thank the Goddess Turner never told Gary I was the one they had been working for. If he had told him, I am sure Claire and her Mates would be coming for me. "What did they say?" My Beta asked"They won't let me come with them. I can tell Xavier won't give her to me," I replied"I told you that you shouldn't have told her Mates she was in Silvercrest Pack when we sa
Claire's POV"Aah," Jenn screamed and dropped the bowl of popcorn on the floor, causing Gwen and me to laugh. We were watching Paranormal Activity, and Jenn had been screaming and holding onto me the whole time. Gwen, Jenn, and I have been at the cabin for a day. I couldn't wait to be back home with Stephen and Steven. I missed them so much and felt like a part of me was missing. I was happy that I was with Gwen. I knew I would feel worse if she didn't come with me. "Jenn, I told you we shouldn't watch this movie. You have never liked scary movies," I laughed. "Yeah, I think that is enough for you," Gwen laughed and turned off the movie."Hey, you didn't have to turn the movie off. Let's finish it," Jenn said"No. You are going to be already scared to sleep alone for about a week," I said"I am not. I am going to sleep fine by myself. I am not scared," Jenn said"Sure you are," I replied"Okay, Love. Leave Jenn alone," Gwen said "Thank you, Gwen," Jenn said. I was happy that Gwen
Claire's POV" I get sadder every time I watch this movie. Why couldn't Jack and Rose take turns on the iceberg?" Jenn cried."I don't know, Jenn. It's so fucked up," I said, wiping my tears. "I always wish for a different ending, even after seeing it so many times," Gwen added. It was two in the morning, and we had been watching movies all night. "Claire, are you awake?" I heard Stephen mind-link me."Yes, what's going on? I miss you," I linked back."I miss you too, Princess. I have good news. The Werewolf Council knows you are not a threat to anyone and left. They listened to everything Gry had to say and believed that you killed Karen in self-defense," Stephen said "Good. Does that mean they will leave us alone now?" I asked"Yes, we don't have to worry about them anymore. Steven is on his way to get you and bring you back home," Stephen replied."Why aren't you coming with him?" I asked"I am taking care of some things to ensure you stay safe. Steven and I learned some disturb
Claire's POV"Come here, Princess. I missed you so much," Stephen said. Gwen, Steven, Jenn, and I just returned to the Packhouse. It was five in the morning, and none of us had slept.I ran into his arms and inhaled his scent. I was happy to be home with all of my Mates."Hey, Steph boy." "Hey, Grandpa Alfred. Steven told me you were here," Stephen said. He pulled away from me and gave his Grandpa a hug. Cara was growling the whole time. There was something about Grandpa Alfred that we didn't like. It was like I could feel that he was evil. "You, okay, Love?" Gwen asked and wrapped her arms around me. "I am fine," I replied as I watched Stephen and Steven talking to their Grandpa and parents."Are you sure? I can tell you are uncomfortable around Grandpa Alfred. You aren't the only one. He has that effect on many of the Pack Members too," Gwen Mind-linked me."Cara and I don't trust him. It is like we can feel he is evil," I linked back. We ended the link, and Gwen looked at me wor
Grandpa Alfred"It's about time you showed up," Alpha Kane said when I arrived at a house in Rogue Territory close to the Silver Crest Pack."You are lucky I came at all. Especially after you fucked up. Now the Werewolf Council and my grandsons are looking for you," I replied"That is why we need to move along with our plan," Alpha Kane said "NO. I am no longer working with you. You are out of the plan," I replied, causing Alpha Kane to laugh."You are not in the position to make that decision. Remember, I know everything you have done. I know who you have been working with and what you plan on doing. What would your grandsons do to you if they found out you planned on making their Mate your bride and ruling the world? Too bad she has become fully Mated with all her mates, or your plan would have worked. But it would have been a disgusting sight, seeing a sixty-year-old with a teenage girl," Alpha Kane said"I am going to kill you," I growled."I wouldn't try that if I were you," Kan
Claire's POVI woke up in a room I had never been in before. I had a terrible headache. Memories of what happened before began to come back to me. I remembered mind-linking my Mates and letting them know I followed Grandpa Alfred into the woods. I remembered the witch that suddenly appeared behind me and getting something put on my neck, which caused me to pass out. "Claire, you are awake. We have to get out of here," I heard Cara say. " I know. Where the hell are we?" I asked"We are in a house in Silver Crest Pack. I have been trying to mind-link with our mates, but I can't get through. I am sorry, Claire, you were right. We should never have followed our Mates Grandfather," Cara said"It isn't all your fault. I could have said no. We need to find a way out of here," I replied"We have to hurry up and do the spell before the drug wears off. Cliare's wolf is strong and will wear off quicker than if she was a normal werewolf," I could hear the witch say. "Do you think the spell wil
