Claire's POV "Okay, class, don't forget to turn in your test before you leave," Our Spanish teacher said, and we all placed our test on Mr. Tucker's desk before walking out of the classroom. "Hey Claire," Christy said "Hey," I said while putting my books in my locker "Some of us are leaving school early. We are about to go to Crescent Lake. You should come with us," she said "I don't know. I don't want to get into trouble. I haven't been going to this school for long. Plus, what about Jenn," I said "You won't get into trouble. We do this all the time, and no one ever gets caught, and we will be back before school ends. Your sister will be fine," Christy said I thought about if I should go or not. A part of me felt I shouldn't go because I didn't want to get in trouble. But another part of me wanted to go because I haven't done anything fun with people my age since my parent passed away. I hardly had any friends since they were alive. So what could it hurt to act my age for once
Gwen's POVEarlier that Day"I can talk to James myself," I saidI know, but I am still going,' Stephen said, I knew it would be best to tell James first before telling everyone in the Pack. I might not have romantic feelings for him, but I have been in a relationship with him since Freshman Year. So I was sure he felt something for me.It made me feel bad, pretending to want to be with him all these years. He had always been nice to me and deserved an explanation for why I would pretend to want to be with him. The reason was that my father would kill me if I didn't stay with James. He had some arrangement with James' parents for years and always told me I was meant to be with James. My father didn't care that I was not his Mate. I never said anything to my father until now. I was scared that he would get upset just like he did today. But now I am done with the lies, and if my father can't support me being with Claire, then I am done with him toStephen knocked on James' door. James
Stephen's POV"Take him to a cell,' I said when the guards showed up. James was lying on the ground naked from me, biting into his neck. "I can't believe James would shift in front of Claire like that," Gwen said"Me either. He was obviously planning on hurting her," Steven said "We need to get her to the Pack Hospital," I said and then mind-linked Dr. Dawson letting her know we were on our way. Dr. Dawson is around forty years old and the lead Doctor at the hospital. She told me she would have a room ready when we arrived.I picked Claire up bridal style and placed her in the back seat of my car. Gwen got in and Placed Claire's head on her legs. Steven and I got in and began driving to the Pack Hospital. I couldn't believe James would try to hurt my Mate. He was going to be punished for his crimes against her. "Do you think that James had this planned?" Gwen asked"Yes, why else would he come here and not to the meeting? Why else would he be with Claire alone with nobody around?"
Claire's POV"Was my father a werewolf?" I asked, and they all were quiet. I looked at them silently and waited for one of them to answer me."Well,' I asked "Yes, your father was a werewolf," Stephen said"Is that why he left?" I asked"Your father was our father's Beta before he left. The Beta is the second in command, and our father was the Alpha until Steven, and I took over. I don't know how they met. Your grandparents don't like humans. When your father told them that his Mate was human, they wanted him to reject her, but he didn't. My parents said that your grandparents were starting to come around to accept your mother, but then they left," Stephen said"Why did they leave?" I asked"Because they had you. When one parent is human, and the other is a werewolf, there is a fifty percent chance that the child will have a wolf and a fifty percent chance that they will be human. But when the child is a female, there is no chance they will have a wolf. So when they discovered you we
Claire's POVIt has been two days since I learned about werewolves, and I have three Mates. I talked to Sean about my father, who told me he was one of his best friends. He was the best Beta he could have had, and Gwen's father took his position when he and my mom moved. When I asked him why my father had left, he confirmed what Stephen had told me. It was because I was born a girl, and he knew I wouldn't have a wolf.At first, I was upset with my father for not telling me about werewolves. But now I am not. I know that he only did what he thought was best for me. I have been wondering what life would have been like if he and my mom had stayed here. Would they still be alive if they had never left?I still haven't told Jenn about werewolves. I am trying to wait for the right moment, but it never appears to be one. I have also been avoiding Gwen, and the twins since finding out all three of them are my Mate. They have been on my mind since they told me everything. I don't know what I s
Steven's POV "I wanted to let all of you know that," Claire began to say, but then an annoying voice cut her off. "Hey Steven, baby, I missed you," Karen said. "Karen, what are you doing here?" I asked, shocked that she was standing in front of me. Karen and I dated about five months ago and were together for two years. She was clingy and would get upset if I spoke to another female. She would have a breakdown if I said hi to a female. If she thought I was looking for too long, she would go crazy. Finally, I began to realize that she wasn't all there all in the head. She was crazy and I don't do crazy females. I talked to Stephen, and we decided to send her and her family to another Pack we have a treaty with called, The Shadow Pack. Her father is an amazing tracker; they needed help finding their Beta's daughter. I don't understand why she is back. "I came back to see you, silly. I have missed you," Karen said and then tried to sit on my lap, but I stood too quickly, making he
Claire's POV"What happened outside?" Jenn asked as I walked into the house."Just a disagreement with Steven. What are you doing?" I asked"Stacy and I are helping Tonya make brownies," Jenn said"You want to help, Sweetheart," Tonya asked, walking up to me"No thanks, I think I am going to go upstairs," I said"I am proud of you, Claire. You are going to make an amazing Luna," Tonya whispered "Umm, thank you, I guess," I said, confused, and Tonya laughed"Don't be too hard on them for their mistakes. But also don't let them get away with them either. You have to show them that you are not putting up with any of their bull shit," Tonya said and then went back to making brownies with Stacy and Jenn.I walked up to my room and sat on the bed. I was so upset with Steven and the way he treated that girl. If I gave him a chance, would he do me the same way? There was a knock on the door, and I walked up and opened the door to see Gwen standing there."Hello, Love. Can I come in?' Gwen as
Claire's POV"Claire, it's time to wake up," I heard Gwen say. I opened my eyes and saw that my body was basically on top of Gwen's again, just like the other day. After I asked Gwen to spend the night with me, she agreed. We spent most of the night talking about Stephen and Steven. I knew she was trying to convince me to forgive the twins for everything. I thought about them all night while lying with Gwen. About what I really wanted to do. I knew quickly that I wanted to talk to them and start over with a clean slate, but first, I wanted to sit with them and have a conversation separately about everything. I was upset with them for different reasons. I was upset with Steven because of the way he treated his ex. I wasn't going to let him treat me like that. However, I had a better reason to be mad a Stephen. He messed with Monica after learning about me. Even if he couldn't get hard while she was sucking his cock, that still didn't make it right. I needed to tell him that I would n
