The Wolf's Claim One Hundred Two: Lana
Lana's P.O.V.By the time we had gotten Maddie down for her afternoon nap, several of our pack leaders had reached the rogues. Aspen was keeping me informed, but I was anxious to know what their demands were.'I've only ever done this with Hudson, and it was only for a few seconds at a time. But let's see if this works. Here goes.' Aspen said through our mind link. I sat back on the couch next to Oliver. I didn't need a bond with him to know what he was feeling. The stress was clear on his face. He pushed his hands along the top of his thighs, showing that he was also nervous.There was a small amount of space between us, and I reached over, grabbing his hand and interlacing our fingers. He looked over at me shocked, and I knew his anxiety was because of what he said about me in the office.He had been right. I couldn't handle a gown man trying to take me down, but I would one day. I was going to make him proud and make it so he

Oliver's P.O.V. When there is a target on your head and only a select few know about it, it is stressful. When there is a target on you and everyone knows about it, it can drive a person insane with paranoia. I refused to leave Maddie or Lana on their own for the rest of the day. It wasn't because I was worried for my life and didn't want to be alone. It was because I didn't want someone to use them as a way to lure me out. All it would take was one person holding one of my girls against me for me to crumble and offer myself up in their place. If they had to choose to sacrifice one for the good of the many, which would they choose? Would they see it as putting their pack first by handing over the one, or would they fight as a pack and protect the one? "What are you going to choose?" I asked as I stepped into the Alpha's office. Maddie and Lana were right next door in my mother's old office… Kaylee's office now, so I could still see them, but they were offer

Lana's P.O.V. I wanted to rush out with Kaylee, but my wariness of new people had me hanging back with Maddie. Even if it was kids and disabled women, I figured they would have guards with them. I didn't know what procedure the pack had for guests entering their land, especially guests who had just escaped from an attack, but I didn't want to get in the way. Several pack members were rushing out of their homes in both excitement and concern as the caravan sped in, skidding to a stop in front of the house. The scent of fuel, exhaust, and hot grease made me wrinkle my nose as we reached them. It was offensive to my sensitive senses. I could see why Oliver hated cars, but he still moved closer to them to be in front of Maddie and me as a precaution. Maddie stood with my hands on her chest as she leaned back into my legs. She was as uneasy about there being new people as I was. The more she pushed back into me, the more I fought the urge to just pick her up and take her back into the p

Oliver's P.O.V. It took a while for Kaylee to get the pack house squared away. While she was getting our visitors set up in rooms, I was watching Lana move around the kitchen like a pro, trying to make food for everyone. Several kids had exclaimed how hungry they were, and Lana wanted to help. Knowing the war was so close, I think she wanted to stay busy. If helping with the kids was where she felt comfortable, I fully supported her. They were without their parents and needed someone loving and kind. Maddie sat on the bar stool next to me at the kitchen island. She seemed wary of the little boy who insisted he had to sit on the other chair to her left, but she let him. I didn't like it. I wanted her to have friends, but something about the way this kid looked at her with wonder made me uneasy. He was so curious about her, fascinated almost. The sound of footsteps heading down the stairs made me turn, but the smell of our Alpha and Olivia reached me before they came around the corn

Lana's P.O.V. I was still uncomfortable around Luna Olivia, not because of how intimidatingly beautiful she was, but by her position. Kaylee was a Luna as well, my Luna. But she was also family. I didn't feel as worried about offending her. Olivia, I didn't know. I knew next to nothing about her or how she reacted to things. "I heard about you," She said as she stood, grabbing the dirty dishes near her. The pile in my arms was at capacity, but I froze as I looked up at her. "That sounded odd. I just meant that I know some of your story. Kaylee told me that you guys came here to get away from the rogues and ended up trapped here by them anyway. I'm sorry you had to deal with that." She had a natural wideness to her eyes. They were large and innocent, but it was clear in the way she carried herself that she had seen darkness in her life. It was something I recognized as I had been there myself. "It sounds like we are both in that situation. You came here for safety as well. Have the

Lana's P.O.V.Fucking Nyla.I was so sick of that psychotic, literal bitch!It wasn't even just her as a person that drove me insane. It was the way she got in between me and Oliver. Once again, she was a point of contention in my relationship.There had to be a reason why he didn't tell me about her. Clearly, her being missing was a big enough concern that someone had contacted him about it. Either they were warning him that her deranged ass was on her way, or they thought that he might already know where she is. The second option was very concerning to me as I had no idea whether or not he knew her whereabouts.I wanted to say no. Why would he keep tabs on her after everything she put us through? I also had no reason to believe that he would be in contact with her. If he was, he wouldn't have given me his phone to call my parents and then walked away. He would have hovered over me to make sure I wasn't snooping...unless he didn't

Oliver's P.O.V. My head pulsed as I felt someone pushing against the wall I had put up. But the silence on the other end of the call I was on had all of my attention. I sat on the end of the unused bed eagerly while I waited for a response. If it was the Alpha, I would have still heard him, so whoever it was could talk to me later. This was more important. This was potentially life-saving. They let out a long sigh as they considered my words. The strong female voice on the other end came through the speaker clearly, and I leaned forward, resting my elbows on my knees. "We've been hearing some stories about what's going on over there, but I can't just decide to send my people across the country. I can talk to Miles about it, but I can't guarantee anything. This is really not our fight." My jaw tensed as I leaned back with my head tilted up to the ceiling in frustration. "But it will be, Scarlett! I appreciate you talking to your mate about it, but please know that they are clearing

Lana's P.O.V. Aspen grunted as she hit the ground again. My anger was driving my movements as I pushed myself harder than ever before in my training. I had come a long way, and the insecurities fueling my fire were helping tremendously. "I'm not sure if I should be worried that you are mad at me, or proud of you," Aspen grumbled as she pulled herself to her feet. "Again." I braced myself as she moved in front of me and shook her arms out, loosening herself up for her next attack on me. Only, I hadn't been letting her get that far. I was watching her muscles closely as she prepared herself, and as soon as she moved, I countered her attack and took her to the ground as quickly as possible. The smell of Oliver wafted toward us on the breeze, and I looked over just in time to see my mate moving between the houses with Parker, Adeline, Kaylee, and several other warriors. "I know you're frustrated, Parker, but at least he lasted longer than the others. We got everything we could from hi

The Wolf's Claim Bonus Chapter 3: Oliver
Oliver's P.O.V - 14 years later There wasn't a single person who knew where I was. I had snuck away in the middle of the night and left. I needed to get to her, and that desperate need caused me to chase her over a hundred miles away. I had been lying in bed next to my beautiful mate, and yet all I could think about was her. There was a desperate need to see her. My wolf was on edge and sad with her so far away. I hated that she left me. So, we went after her. The sun was beginning to rise, and I sat in the tree line impatiently, waiting for her to leave for the day. The door to her building was just barely visible, but I knew that as soon as she stepped out, I would be able to see her. She hadn't been responding to any of my messages, and it was driving me insane. A simple 'hello' or 'I'm okay' wouldn't be that hard. I would even accept a, 'please stop messaging me'. One of the last things she said to me had broken my heart, but I would never stop
The Wolf's Claim Bonus Chapter 2: Lana
Lana's P.O.V. The pack had been over the moon when we announced our pregnancy. Having a baby who had been directly blessed by the Goddess was huge to our people, and I could only hope that they wouldn't put too much pressure on him. It had only been a few days, but I had already given up arguing with Oliver over the possibility that it could be a girl. He was so positive we would have a son, that he convinced me. We had picked out several names, prematurely as we hadn't even made it past the first trimester yet, but the excitement was driving us to do all the things they say you shouldn't. We told everyone, picked names, and started thinking about how we were going to design the nursery. The news that our house was next on the list to be worked on made me giddy. Everything was falling into place. The front door to the pack house slammed open, and I watched as several members of our pack split in different directions. The party was still in full swing, but no

Lana's P.O.V.For the past several months, I couldn't help but feel like I was failing Oliver. He was so calm and collected, yet each month when I took that test and received only one pink line in response, it broke me. He knew that it did.Oliver would come to find me, and he would hold me until the tears stopped, whispering that it would happen and that it just wasn't our time yet. But I wanted it to be. More than anything in the world, I wanted two pink lines to look back at me and tell me that our next child was growing inside me.Maddie was more impatient than I was, and her disappointment hurt me even worse. Her smile would fall when she would ask when her sibling would get here. We would tell her that we were still working on it, and she would get really quiet for the rest of the day. It was heartbreaking.But Oliver continued to insist. He would tell me that he knew for a fact it would happen when it was the right time and that we would have a whole litter of children by the t

The Wolf's Claim Epilogue
Maddie's P.O.V. Twenty Years Later My fingers pulled at the hem of my dress as I sat sipping my champagne. I had thought attending my college roommate's wedding would be fun, but it was pretty boring. While I had imagined, men and women our age drinking, dancing, and flirting, it was the complete opposite. The best part about it was the food. They had invited their entire families but only a few friends. I grabbed another roll of bread from the basket on the table, ripping it up before popping small pieces into my mouth. I had learned my lesson before, getting caught stuffing my mouth at functions that had a lot of cameras. Those photos would haunt me for the rest of my life. But this, this was not a wedding to remember for anyone other than the couple. Which was as it should be. This was their night and money. The guests didn't matter to them in the couple's blissful bubble. But as one of their attendees, I could vouch that their guests sure were bored. The couple was swaying ba
The Wolf's Claim One Hundred Thirty: Oliver
Oliver's P.O.V. As much as I loved Aspen, I had to get out of there. We had grown up together, almost as siblings since her dad was the Beta and mine, the Alpha. But even as a kid, I could only take so much of her dramatics or lack of a filter. Things moved through her brain and out of her mouth without considering whether it was appropriate or hurtful. As a teenager, I heard way more about her sex life than I wanted to, and the last thing I wanted was to get suckered into sitting down and having to listen to her go on about her lack of sexual freedom while I was trying to eat my breakfast. Instead, I packed up the majority of the pancakes into a Tupperware as soon as they left the frying pan, much to Hudson's annoyance, and stole the bottle of syrup before dashing after Maddie. She screamed with joy as I threw her over my shoulder and carried her away from that clingy little pup, Nicholas. He really wasn't so bad, but I resented him for the idea that he could one day take her from
The Wolf's Claim One Hundred Twenty-Nine: Lana
Lana's P.O.V.There was still tension between Adeline and Oliver as we made our way to the kitchen at the insistence of my very pushy daughter, but Mr. Blake looked over the moon. Getting a second chance with his son seemed to be just what he needed during this hard time, and I knew Oliver needed it too.I don't think Oliver would have been able to live with himself if he went back to shunning his father. Especially after the man sacrificed himself for Oliver and lost his arm in the process.The guilt would have driven him mad.Kaylee and Parker were sitting at the kitchen island with Olivia, eating heaping piles of eggs, sausage, and several pieces of toast. They smiled widely at me as I entered with Maddie right behind me. But their excitement seemed to rise as Oliver entered, being dragged by Maddie's hold on his hand."Liv! I'm glad you're still here!" Oliver exclaimed as he lifted Maddie and placed her on the empty barstool ne
The Wolf's Claim One Hundred Twenty-Eight: Oliver
Oliver's P.O.V."I don't want to leave," Lana mumbled, her lips rubbing against my chest as she pressed her warm, naked body firmly against mine beneath the blanket. The morning sun beamed in through the edges of the curtain, reminding us that it was time for us to get up and get to work.I hated that while I had been sleeping for the past two weeks, my pack had been busting their ass to restore our homes and way of life. Even though I was injured and in a coma, I wanted to make up for it and contribute.I was disappointed when we entered our room yesterday evening to find it was occupied by multiple other people. Their mats and blankets spread out across the floor. But when I got out of the shower, Lana was standing in the middle of our newly vacant room with a wide smile.I didn't waste another second in swooping her up into my arms and taking her to bed. We had been apart for too long, and all I wanted was to be close to her. What star
The Wolf's Claim One Hundred Twenty-Seven: Lana
Lana's P.O.V. There was a collection of us, at least a hundred, who were going from house to house, tearing out all of the damaged sections and rebuilding them back up as quickly as possible. A few homes would have to be completely demolished, but we would have to come back to them. For now, we needed to get as many as we could into livable conditions, and as soon as possible, so our people could have a roof over their heads. It was bad enough that I had multiple strangers sleeping on my bedroom floor. Maddie was having a blast sleeping in the room with the other kids. It was like a giant slumber party every night. But even if I wanted to rest for a minute during the day, my bed was out of the question. Having strangers in my space, in mine and Oliver's personal bedroom, made it feel compromised. It was no longer my safe space. They were diluting his scent, and coming in and out at random times throughout the day. I had tried to close my eyes once for a quick nap, and as soon as t
