Jenn's POVI couldn't believe Gwen was acting as if Claire meant nothing to her. From the moment she walked into the backyard, she had been acting like my sister wasn't even there. If I didn't know either of them, I would never have thought they had never met each other before. I could tell that Claire was feeling hurt by Gwen's actions. What pissed me off the most was when Gwen began to flirt with some guy that Stephen told us was named Jeremy. I looked at Claire, and it looked like she was about to cry.Everyone was shocked when Claire pushed Jeremy down on the floor, but I wasn't. Claire has always been a badass. I can't even remember how many females and males she fought with to defend me while we were in foster care. She doesn't take shit from anyone and always had my back. My sister had to grow up early after the death of our parents and stand up for me while we were in foster care. She has always made sure that I am alright and always puts me before herself. When I found out t
Gwen's POV"I think it is time that my family and I left. I can tell we aren't welcome here," my dad said"Sonya and Gwen are welcome here anytime," Sean said. He and my father have never gotten along, but he has always been kind to my mom and me. My mom is from Crescent Pack, while my father and his parents moved here when my father was a teenager. I never asked what Sean's problem was with my father, but I was sure it was his attitude. My father always acted as if he was better than everyone else. Sean liked to treat everyone equally, no matter what their rank was."No offense to you, but if I am not welcome, then neither are they," My dad said. He held his hand out for my mom to take, and she took it without hesitation. My mom was the only one that my father treated with respect. They stood behind each other no matter what. "Gwen, let's go," My dad said, and then he and my mom began to walk away."I am sorry," I said, looking at Sean and then at Tanya. I didn't spare Stephen and S
Gary's POV"I didn't tell Gwen to ignore Claire. All I said was that Gwen needed to let her know that it wasn't okay for Claire to treat Gwen differently than the Alphas," I said. "Don't lie to me, Gary. You know you told Gwen to ignore Claire. Now, look what happened," Sonya said "I am sorry, okay, but Claire doesn't deserve our daughter," I said, causing Sonya to gasp."Don't say that, Gary. The Moon Goddess is never wrong," Sonya said, causing me to roll my eyes, not wanting to tell her that I felt the Moon Goddess was wrong mating Gwen to Claire. Not wanting to argue anymore, I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her to me. "You are right. I am sorry," I said"I hope you mean that," Sonya said "I do," I lied and kissed the top of her head. "I am going to go apologies to Sean for what happened today," I said "I think that's a good idea," Sonya said. I kissed her softly and went to my car. I wasn't really going to see Sean. I had other plans that I knew Sonya would dis
Claire's POVAre you okay, Princess? You have barely touched your food," Stephen said. Steven, Stephen, and I sat at the dining room table eating dinner. After Gwen left"I am fine," I lied. The truth was that I couldn't stop thinking about Gwen. I hated telling her we needed to take a break from each other, but I knew it was the right thing to do. She had to understand that she couldn't treat me like I was nothing to her. "I am about to take a shower and get ready for bed," I said and went to our room. I took a shower and then brushed my teeth. I then went back into our room, turned on the tv, and lay in the bed. Stephen and Steven came into our room about an hour later. Stephen went to take a shower while Steven sat at the table in our room, looking over some files. After Stephen was done in the bathroom, Steven went in and took a shower."Do you want to talk about earlier, Princes?" Stephen asked while we were watching the news. "Not really. I don't want to talk about it right no
Gwen's POV"I need every one of you to check each side of the border and all of the Pack territory. I also want you to go to the Rogue territory. And question the Rogues to see if anyone has seen her. I want you to bring anyone you think is acting suspicious," I heard Steven say as I walked up to the Packhouse. Stephen and Steven were talking to the Pack Warriors and Tracker. "You haven't found out anything?' I asked as I walked up to them"No. We are about to take the Trackers to our floor to see if they can find anything. Stephen and I couldn't pick up any strange scent. Only the scents of everyone we know that has been there," Steven said. I began to follow them into the Packhouse, and when we got to the elevator, Stephen turned and looked at me. "Where do you think you are going?" Stephen asked"On our floor," I replied"No, you are now. Not after the way you treated her yesterday," Stephen said "She is my Mate too, Stephen. You can't stop me from going up there," I said"You w
Steven's POV"I am going to kill that bitch. I knew I should have killed her when she returned," I said. "I am going to kill Monica when we find her. That bitch knew better than to fuck with my Mate," Stephen said "Wait. Are you just going to listen to what she has to say? We don't even know her, and she could be lying," Gwen said "I can assure you that I am not lying. Your father is the one behind your Mate missing," "What is your name," I asked"My name is Raven," she said"I believe what she is saying. How else would she know about Claire's wolf?" Stephen said "And why would she risk her life to come here?' I added"I don't know, but," Gwen started, but I cut her off. "Look, Gwen. I am getting sick and tired of you taking up for your father. Stephen and I know that he has done something to Claire. And I know that you know it too. So either you quit making up excuses for him or get the fuck out of here," I growled, shocking Stephen and Gwen. I was usually the calm twin between
Gary's POV"What's wrong with Gwen?" Sonya asked as I carried Gwen into her bedroom. "I don't know. She started screaming and then passed out," I said"We need to get her to the Pack Hospital," Sonya said Suddenly I heard a knock on the door. "I am going to get that," I said. When I opened the door, I saw the two standing there."We are here to see Gwen," Alpha Stephen said "She is busy right now," I replied"Who is at the door?" Sonya said, and she looked at the Alphas. "Thank Goddess, Gwen passed out, and we need to get her to the Pack Hospital," Sonya said"What do you mean she passed out? She was okay when we saw her not that long ago," Stephen said "I don't know. She let out a scream and lost consciousness," Sonya said. The Alphas followed Sonya to Gwen's bedroom. She was still unconscious when we walked inside. Alpha Steven quickly went over, picked Gwen up, and began walking toward the door. "Where are you taking my daughter?" I asked "I am taking her to the Pack Hospita
Claire's POVI had never felt so much pain in my entire life. Karen wouldn't stop hitting or whipping me. I knew that I would die if I didn't get out of there."Please stop. I can't take anymore," I said"You deserve everything I am doing to you. You are nothing but a whore that is trying to steal my Mate from me, and I am not going to let that happen," She said "Karen, I need to talk to you for a moment," I heard Monica say. I could barely open my eyes to see who it was because of how swollen my face was from her punching me over and over again. I knew my back had whip marks all over it. "I will be back in a minute," Karen said and walked out of the room.After Karen and Monica left the room, I tried to break the chains but couldn't. I knew I needed to figure out how to get out of there, or I was going to die. I could tell Karen was not planning on letting me live, no matter what Gary said."You need to use your Powers, little human," I heard. I looked around but didn't see anyone
