The Lost Alphas Daughter Claudia
I inhale sharply, the intoxicating scent of sandalwood and leather filling my senses as I take a step back, putting a bit of distance between us. He towers over me, and my eyes align with his chest. This man is a giant. My dreams didn’t do him justice—he’s even more striking in person.Swallowing, I force a polite smile, retreating another step. “What happened to your shoes?” he asks, watching me closely, hands tucked casually into the pockets of his black jeans—a gesture that shouldn’t look half as good as he makes it. I catch myself staring and quickly snap my gaze up to meet his, only to be met by that cocky smirk, now stretching into a full, dazzling grin. Perfectly straight, white teeth and those plush, inviting lips... Stop. What the hell are you doing?I shake off the thought, blaming the blood loss, but the motion sends a wave of dizziness over me. His large, warm hand reaches out to steady me, and the touch sends a jolt through every nerve in my body. I glance up, meeting tho

As if sensing my hesitation, he steps closer, his presence a magnetic pull I can't ignore. “Listen, Claudia, aren’t you tired of everyone keeping things from you? Don’t you want to know the truth?” His steel-grey eyes hold mine, and I feel the reasoning in his words settle deep within me.“I…” His scent wraps around me, and I find myself swooning again. Goddess, what’s happening to me?He studies me with a softness that feels out of place. “I understand if this is a lot to process… maybe you aren’t ready,” he murmurs, his gaze drifting over me as I struggle with a strange fog clouding my thoughts. I do want answers, but how can this stranger, of all people, give me what I need over the people I already… trust?“I do have questions,” I snap, trying to shake off whatever spell he seems to cast over me. “But I’m not about to ask some stranger who hasn’t even told me his name to share things about my life and this pack!” I force myself out of the trance, the flustered feeling churning ins

The wine slides down my throat, thick and heavy, almost getting lodged as I swallow. I move away from Braden, hoping to avoid his scrutiny, and stand near the crackling fire in the foyer. He follows, that charming smile on his face as he studies me. At least the smoke might mask the lingering scents of Asher and Ansel.“You look… edible tonight,” Braden murmurs, his footsteps tapping softly against the wooden floor as he approaches. My heart stutters as a prickling sensation spreads across the back of my neck. “What’s this good news?” I ask, trying to keep my tone steady as he stops in front of me, sipping his wine. His eyes, glinting with amusement and something darker—lust—trace over me.“Ah, yes.” He smirks, and a pang of unease twists my stomach. I would have once melted under that grin, but now I feel an uncomfortable distance between us. We’re related, so why is he looking at me like this?“I’m so sorry, Claudia.” He softens, his dark blue eyes searching mine. For a moment, it a

Braden’s smirk lingers, an unsettling hint of amusement dancing in his eyes as he considers my question. For a moment, he’s silent, swirling his wine thoughtfully. I lean in slightly, waiting, sensing he’s weighing whether to share whatever’s on his mind.“Claudia…” he finally begins, voice low, almost conspiratorial, “there are things about your family that… well, I’m not sure you’d even want to know.”My fingers tighten around the glass. “What does that mean, Braden? Are you saying you know something and just chose not to tell me?”He sighs, his gaze drifting toward the fire. “It’s complicated,” he says, as if that somehow justifies keeping secrets. “The Alpha has his reasons, you know. Sometimes there are… truths that don’t benefit anyone. Sometimes it’s better to let sleeping dogs lie.”I clench my jaw, fighting the frustration that’s building. “But it’s my family. I deserve to know, even if it’s not pretty.” I search his face, trying to read beyond the shadowed expression he wear

“Claudie, I have a business trip coming up. Can I trust you to behave?” Dad asks, looking up from his dinner plate as I dab my mouth with a napkin.“Another one? You only just got back!” I complain. I know he’s doing it for the pack, but ever since Mom died, I hate it when he’s away for long stretches. We’re all each other has.Dad’s bright blue eyes crinkle with amusement, his cropped salt-and-pepper hair catching the light. “I thought you didn’t want your old man cramping your style… didn’t you just tell me the other day how embarrassing I am?” he teases, raising an eyebrow. I scowl, flicking a pea across my plate. Must he remember everything?I know he wouldn’t leave if it weren’t important, but lately, there’s been a strange tension in the air. Rumors about another pack disputing with ours keep cropping up, though no one ever tells me the details. Dad never shows

I head through the pack grounds, supposedly on a mission to find Erin. In truth, she’s fine; she just wants to catch up on some gossip about Mr. Fancy Pants. Someone has a crush. Sure, he’s super hot, but he knows it, and I can still feel the heat of his thighs pressing against mine under the table. As much as it pains me to admit, I kind of liked it.No, no, I didn’t. He’s an ass. A very pretty, smells-so-good ass. Wait, he does not smell nice! And now I’m talking to myself. Great.The streets are quiet tonight, a few pack members strolling around, setting up lanterns to cast a warm amber glow along the paths. I wander aimlessly, flicking my long dark braid over my shoulder, my mind buzzing with ideas on how to mess with Mr. Fancy Pants for his teasing earlier. He made me miss my chocolate mousse and time with Dad before he goes away. I’m not happy about that at all.As I walk through the hushed streets, nothing seems out of place, yet a strange tension lingers in the air, an instinct

All night, I’m bombarded with images of people I’ve never met. Each one feels less and less like a dream until I can no longer deny the truth there not dreams they're memories —and through it all, Asher is there. By the time dawn breaks, I’ve made my decision. I’m calling him. I need to know the truth.I pull on a pair of jeans and a loose, woolly sweater, leaving my hair down for once, something Braden wouldn’t like but to hell with him. In the kitchen, I grab my phone and Asher’s card, tapping it against the counter as the kettle rumbles. Can I really trust him?My father clearly did—he left Asher to watch over me. But other than a few fragments of my past, I know nothing about him. And then there’s the nagging suspicion: he might be the one responsible for killing another alpha... But who?The kettle clicks, startling me out of my thoughts. I pour the water, letting the tea steep, and decide: it’s worth the risk. Each time I’ve met Asher, he’s never hurt me. I was weak, vulnerable e

*** Trigger Warning Physical Assult ***My heart stutters as his words sink in: the sole heir. Does that mean… I’m an alpha? I almost laugh at the absurdity of it—I’m not an alpha wolf. But as if reading my mind, Asher’s voice cuts through my spiraling thoughts.“You are an alpha wolf, Claudia,” he says, his voice steady, final. “You were destined to lead. It’s time you came home.”Something in his tone silences my retort. He’s so certain, so confident in this truth. But if I’m really an alpha, then why can’t I remember? Why is my wolf so weak? If I were truly an alpha, I’d be able to resist the commands of others, even Braden’s. I shake my head, a hard edge of disbelief forming. “I don’t believe you. How do I know you’re not lying?”Asher’s sigh is low, almost frustrated. “What would I gain by lying to you? Claudie, there’s so much you need to understand, but I can’t do this over the phone. It’s dangerous. Please, come to me. You’ll be safe here.”He’s right in a way. I don’t believe

The Lost Alphas Daughter Claudia
Epliogue Part 2Thirty Years LaterToday is the day Grey finally moves out of the castle. My youngest is ready to explore the world on his own. None of the other kids have moved far, not really. But this feels different. This is him leaving. He won’t be under our roof anymore. And even though we have centuries together, it doesn’t make this any easier. My heart still aches at the thought of his absence echoing through the halls.What doesn’t help is the fact that Gaia and I both believe his mate is her daughter, Summer. Which means he’ll be hours away from us, living at the New Moon Pack. Gaia and Reid are thrilled at the idea. Honestly, I sometimes suspect Gaia’s been nudging fate with her magic… except her spells have no effect on Summer, and Grey never seems to react to any of Gaia’s not-so-subtle hints that they should mark each other.Summer and Grey have been inseparable since they were little. Every year, we’d spend the summers with the New Moon Pack, or Gaia, Reid, and Summer w
The Lost Alphas Daughter Claudia
Epilogue Ten Years LaterThose years with Braden feel like nothing more than a distant memory. There was a time I couldn’t imagine being happy or free like I am now. That’s not to say the nightmares don’t still come—those nights I jolt awake in a cold sweat, heart racing, lungs gasping for air as if I’m still trapped in that hell. But all it takes is a glance into the storm-grey eyes of my mate, and the past fades like smoke. I’m here. I’m safe. It’s over.The last ten years pass in a blur. It’s only when our son arrives that I truly feel the weight of all the children I lost. Pregnancy, as joyful as it is, terrifies me. I dread something going wrong, haunted by the possibility that Braden’s poisons still lurk in my blood, waiting to strike. That's really when the nightmares came once again. The birth is… intense. I’d like to say it went smoothly. But Leo, on the other hand? I see clumps of his thick dark hair littering the hospital floor by the time the nurse is telling me to push.
The Lost Alphas Daughter Claudia
Things are finally settling down and becoming normal again. Leo and I work hard, but we play hard too. It’s exactly how I always pictured my life would be when I was younger—only now, it’s my reality.“There you are, baby. I’ve been looking for you.”I’d know that voice anywhere. Every hair on my arms and along my neck prickles to attention. My stomach drops.“No… no, you’re dead.” I whisper because it's the only thing that makes sense. I spin around, heart thundering in my chest. He stands there—Braden—his dark blue eyes gleaming with a sinister glint, his wolfish grin carved across his face like a predator who’s already won. I know that look too well now. Nothing good comes from that look. He strolls toward me, each step slow, measured, powerful. I stumble backward until the wall presses into my spine. My breath stutters. It doesn’t make sense. He’s dead.He stops just in front of me, reaching out to toy with a strand of my hair. His fingers are deceptively gentle until they tight

I feel a squeeze on my hand as silence creeps in, thick and heavy like a storm about to break. Even Erin glances our way, her eyes narrowing as if she can see straight through me—like there’s a neon sign on my forehead flashing the word Lycan.The crowd shifts subtly, a ripple through the mass of bodies. I follow it with my eyes until I see him—a man at the back moving with unnatural smoothness, like a shadow cutting through the haze of murmurs and hushed breathing. One of the guards. I recognize him; he usually works the front gate, stopping intruders from ever getting this far.He’s coming closer. Step by step.My pulse thunders in my ears.Should I pull Claudia behind me? Should I shift? Should I fight?I count the seconds, heart pounding, my beast snarling just under the surface. Claudia’s grip tightens on my hand—iron strong. I couldn’t move even if I wanted to.The man climbs the stairs to stand before us. My beast pushes forward, hackles rising, claws itching to tear through
The Lost Alphas Daughter Leo
We’ve called a pack meeting, and nerves twist in my gut like a coiled serpent. Claudia told me to come clean—about who I really am. It’s not that I don’t want to. This has been my pack for years; it’s my home. I know these people. I trust them. They’ve had my back through everything. But knowing I’m a lycan means other packs might come for us. They always do. No one likes someone stronger, faster, who heals quicker than the rest. Envy breeds discontent, and I don’t want to paint a target on my back—not when we’ve finally found peace. Not when we are about to have a family. At the same time, we need to explain what’s happened—why Gaia and Reid have left the Blood Moon pack, and why we’ve both been missing for the last few weeks. I’m getting ready now, trying to tame my hair from where Claudia’s fingers pulled at it through the night. I smooth down my shirt, ensuring it’s pressed just right before tightening my belt.Claudia appears in the doorway, her long, dark hair cascading like in

She sucks me deep, taking me into her throat with a moan that vibrates through my entire body. Her tongue swirls around the sensitive head, lapping up the precum already leaking from me. Her hand works in perfect rhythm with her mouth, pumping and twisting as she sucks me off like it’s the only thing she’s ever wanted to do.“Fuck, love,” I growl, my hands tangling in her hair as I thrust into her mouth, fucking her face with a desperation that matches her own. She gags slightly but doesn’t pull away, taking every inch of me like a fucking champion. The heat of her throat squeezes me, and the pressure coils tight in my gut, my balls heavy and aching.But she’s not done yet.She pulls off my cock with a wet pop, her lips swollen and shining with spit as she crawls up my body. Her tits brush against my chest, soft and maddening, leaving streaks of heat on my skin. She kisses me deep, and I taste myself on her tongue—salty, musky, and so fucking her. She reaches between us, guiding my co
The Lost Alphas Daughter Leo
We make it back to the Blood Moon pack in record time. Claudia falls asleep early into the car journey, with Erin joining her shortly after. Erin snores the entire way home, the sound sharp and grating, but it keeps me awake.It may have taken us a long time to get here, but I know now—nothing is going to come between us again. We are having a pup. Something I hadn’t dared to dream of, especially so soon. After everything Claudia has been through—every miscarriage, every tear, every ounce of pain—I had no expectations. I was happy just having the two of us for a while. But now? Now, everything is different.It does put a slight hitch in my plans, though. I need to check the library to see if it’s still possible. I want to change Claudia into a lycan. It’s a grueling process and there are risks, but after the time I spent away from her—after how Braden altered her mind so she no longer recognized me—I can’t risk anything like that happening again. More than anything, I want time with h
The Lost Alphas Daughter Claudia
The BBQ goes well — the pack loves Gaia, and maybe they always have. She’s been here from the beginning, after all. She is one of them. With Reid by her side, I know that whatever lingering trauma she carries, he will be there to catch her if she stumbles. The two of them are annoyingly cute together.Leo’s arms are wrapped around me as the five of us settle into the quieter part of the garden, drinks in hand, our bellies full — probably more than full. I swear we’ve eaten twice our body weight. The smell of smoked herbs and charred vegetables still hangs in the air, making my mouth water despite the feast. And I’m eating for two now, so there’s always room. At least that is my excuse.“I think I’m going to like it here,” Reid muses, scratching his chin. Gaia is draped lazily across his lap, gazing at him like he’s hung the moon itself. He toys with her wild hair, curling it around his fingers, and the two of them look so achingly content it almost feels like we’re intruding.“I guess
The Lost Alphas Daughter Claudia
There is a pack BBQ being set up in the garden of the Alpha mansion. The intricate bushes, towering trees, blooming flowers, and the gentle trickle of the pond all add to the loveliness of the day, but there is a hum beneath it, something stirring beneath the surface. To my surprise, Gaia is already in the thick of it, directing where the marquee and BBQ station are to be placed. She even has a few guards digging up part of the garden for a hog roast, their shovels biting into the earth with sharp, rhythmic thuds. There’s a pep in her step as she waltzes through the preparations, her eyes scanning every detail to make sure the decorations are just to her liking.I can’t help but wonder if everyone in the pack is secretly relieved now that Braden is gone — or if Gaia is using her persuasion magic to ease them into the transition. I can’t be sure. The energy feels too smooth, too compliant. But perhaps I am overthining it. When she spots me walking across the lawn, she runs toward me,
