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
Stephen's POV"You need to stop lying to me and tell me where Claire is," I said in my Alpha command and then punched Gary in his face. I had him tied to a chair as I interrogated him."I told you that I don't know where she is. I left her at the house in the woods, and when I returned, Monica and Claire were gone, and Karen was on the ground unconscious," Gary said "I am going to kill you for what you did to my Mate," I said and walked out of the cell."I don't think he knows anything, son. If he did, he would have told you once you used your Alpha command. I sure wish we were able to use that whenever we wanted when I was Alpha. It would have made my job so much easier," My dad said. Back when my dad was Alpha, the werewolf council made a law that Alphas couldn't use their Alpha Command on anyone unless the council approved it because they would be using excessive force. If an Alpha did, they would be stripped of their Alpha title, become a Rogue, and their Beta would take over as
Gwen's POV"I have to get out of here and help Stephen and Steven find Claire," I said and sat on the bed. I avoided the pain as I got up."Gwen, you need to rest. Stephen and Steven are doing everything they can to find her," my mom said. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Stephen and Steven walked inside with Raven. "I am so sorry," I said, looking at Stephen and Steven."Now isn't the time for that. We need your help to find Claire," Stephen said as he walked into the room. "What do you mean?" I asked"Raven thinks that Anya can talk to Claire's wolf," Stephen said "With my help, your wolf should be able to make contact with your Mate. Do you know if your wolf has spoken to your Mates before?" Raven asked"Yeah, she told me she has. But she hasn't been able to contact Claire's wolf since this morning," I said"That is because of my sister Flora. I believe she is helping Monica hide Claire," Raven said "Your sister?" My mom asked"She is the witch that helped your Mate
Cara's POV(Claire's Wolf)"Just let me take over, Little Human. I am going to kill this bitch," I said.I have been with my Little Human since she was born. She just didn't know it, but I have always been there. I hated how Claire and Jennifer were treated after their parents died; our parents and I wished I could have helped them. I felt it when Claires dads wolf was killed, and I cried with her. She has been through so much already in the little time she has been on earth. She has been through things that grown women haven't been through. I promised that once I was awakened, no one would ever hurt my Little Human again, and I mean it. No matter who it is."Monica's wolf growled at me, and I wanted to laugh. She really thought she had a chance against me. If she only knew the truth, she never would have shifted into her wolf and challenged me. But, unfortunately, her decision was going to send her to her grave. I stood where I was, watching her and waiting for her to make the first
