Claire's POV"Now is not the right time for this, Gwen. Claire doesn't need any stress," Stephen said "I am not trying to stress her out, Stephen; I just want to talk to her," Gwen said "Then say what you want to say," Steven said"I said I wanted to talk to her alone," Gwen said "That's not going to happen," Stephen said "Can all of you calm down? You are giving me a headache," I said. I was already tired of them arguing. "I am sorry, Angel," Steven said and kissed the top of my head"Can the two of you give us a moment alone so I can talk to Gwen?" I asked, shocking them"I don't think that is a good idea, Princess. Not after everything that happened," Stephen said "I need to hear what she has to say. Please," I said "Fine. But we will be right outside the door," Stephen said, and Stephen and Steven left the room.I looked at Gwen to see her already staring at me. I could tell she was nervous by the expression on her face. "Claire, words can't explain how sorry I am for the
Claire's POV"Hey, Claire," Jenn said as she walked into the hospital room. It had been two days since I had been rescued, and I was ready to go back home with Stephen and Steven. They had been spending every night here with me. They would only leave if they had to take care of Pack business. They were getting ready for when the werewolf council arrived, which was supposed to be sometime today. I was nervous about them coming here. Stephen said they would want to talk to me to get my side of the story."Hey, you have a good day at school?" I asked"No, it was boring today. Everyone keeps asking about you, though. The whole Pack is happy that their Luna is safe. Have they told you when you can get out of here?" Jenn asked. "They want to keep me until at least the end of the week. They want to make sure that all the drugs Gary gave me are out of my system," I replied"Well, you look a lot better. It is crazy that you had bruises all over your body two nights ago. They have almost all
Claire's POVAll of us were looking at Sue, shocked at what had just happened. After making sure the Council Members were gone, Sue closed the door and looked at me."I am going to get to the point. Yes, I know that Luna Claire has a Wolf," Sue said "How did you know?" Tanya asked "Like Norman said, no human can live after being injected with wolfsbane unless they use a certain herb to cure them. Also, Luna Claire's bruises are healing too quickly for her to be human," Sue said and then looked at me. "I also know that you have to be special to have a wolf because you only have one werewolf parent and also to be Mated to the Twin Alphas. I promise your secret is safe with me, Luna. I told everyone in the hospital that I cured you with herbs. My best friend is a witch, and she gives me potions and herbs to cure my patients all the time, so they believe me. I also noted in the system that I used herbs to cure your wounds and save you because you were injected with wolfsbane, so if the
Claire's POV"I finally beat you," I screamed happily. Steven and I had been playing Mortal Kombat for an hour now, and I had finally beaten him. "No. You cheated," Steven said "No, I didn't. I won fair and square," I replied. "That's not possible, Angel. You had to have cheated somehow," He said, making me laugh. "How could I have cheated? You need to face the fact that I beat you fair and square," I said"Whatever," Steven grumbled"Stop being a big baby," I said "I am not being a baby," "Yes, you are," I said"No, I am not," he replied. Before I could say anything, he began tickling me."Stop it, Steven," I laughed. I was rolling around the bed trying to get away from him but couldn't"Say Steven is the best at everything,""No,""Say it, or I am going to keep tickling you," he said "Okay, okay, Steven is the best at everything," I said, and he finally released me."What are the two of you doing," Stephen asked as he walked into the hospital room. He came over to me and kisse
Claire's POV"Steven and I feel we have every right to sentence Gary and Karen. Just because we haven't Marked Claire doesn't mean we should have nothing to do with anything. There have been many trials where the Alpha hasn't Marked their Luna yet, but they still were able to get the justice they deserved. I believe that because Gary and Norman are close friends, Norman never should have been sent here to do the review," Stephen said "So are you saying that you believe that Norman came up with the final decision because he is friends with Gary?" the Council member asked. After Stephen and Steven found out that Gary and Karen were going to get away with kidnapping me, they immediately called for an appeal. Now a week later, the Pack is full of Council Members. I have been staying in the hospital, away from all of them, so no one expects that I am not human but today is the review. I was surprised when Sean walked into my hospital room with Norman and Blake. They told me that I was re
Gwen's POVI had never felt this bad in my whole life. I never thought I would feel so incomplete. I haven't seen Claire in over a week, and I feel like I could die. What hurts the most is that I can feel her pain. She misses me too but is worried that I will hurt her again. She won't answer my calls or see me in the hospital. I know I deserve it, though, because I have hurt her badly. I was a terrible Mate, and I know nothing I say can take away the pain I have given her. All I can do is change and prove to her that I will stick by her side no matter what. Hopefully, one day she can forgive me and trust me like she used to."I believe that the Council won't change the decision because Stephen and Steven didn't Mark her yet. They will treat Claire as if she is a normal Pack Member, and Gary shouldn't receive any jail time," Norman said. He and my mom were in my parent's kitchen talking."Thank the Goddess. When are the Members of the Council making their decision?" My mom asked"In tw
Claire's POVSeeing Gwen for the first time in more than a week made me feel so many different emotions. First, I felt happy to see her face finally. I had been thinking about her since that night at the hospital when I told her I needed a break. I missed her badly and wanted to wrap my arms around her and never let go.At the same time, I felt hurt and betrayed. by her for how she treated me. I still didn't trust that she would ever mistreat me again. When the Council Members walked out of the room, I couldn't stop myself from hugging her tightly to me. Sending tingles throughout my body as I remembered. The tingles were stronger than I felt with Stephen and Steven because we were fully mated."How could a human give Gwen that mark on her neck," Norman said, causing me to worry. Stephen and Steven said he was up to something. That Gary might have told him his suspicion about me having a wolf. I was happy that when I killed Monica that night, Gary wasn't there to witness it because th
Claire's POV"So Gwen walked into the meeting and told them that you were her Mate?" Jenn asked as we were sitting in my hospital room. After the meeting with the Council, Stephen, Steven, and Gwen went to get everything in order for his sentencing tomorrow. Jenn and Stacy decided to come and keep me company while they were gone. Stephen and Steven said it was best for me to stay in the hospital for a while longer, so no one got suspicious. They believed everyone would wonder how I healed so quickly if I left. "Yes, she did, and if she hadn't, Gary would have basically gotten away with everything he did to me. I was worried that she would be upset if her father were punished severely, but she said he deserved it. She said she doesn't see him as her father anymore," I said "I am shocked she went against Gary. She has always tried to get her father's approval," Stacy said "I am happy Gwen showed up, but I still don't like how she treated you before you were kidnapped. I don't trust h
