The Wolf's Claim Sixty-One: Oliver
Oliver's P.O.V. The smell of her blood grew thicker as I glared down at the gunman before me. The nerve of this pathetic human to lay a hand on my mate had me ready to end him. If it weren't for the gun pointed in her direction, I would have. I had promised Lana that I wouldn't let him hurt her again, yet there she was, beaten and bleeding on the floor. I had failed to keep my word and failed her as a mate. "Ah, you must be the dick she's been sucking," James said as he turned to face me but kept the gun pointed at Lana's head. "You both took something that belonged to me. I know you have it since it isn't here. I want it back, now." For a moment, I thought he was referring to Lana. To the fact that I had been with her while she was still married, but when he demanded it back, I knew he had bigger fish he was after. "You'll never get Maddie back," I stated, making sure my voice was loud and clear even though I filled with terror as Lana slumped over onto her shoulder, her eyes bl

Oliver's P.O.V. The smell of rogues approaching had us piling into our cars quickly. While they would be no match for us, I couldn't risk having Lana in the line of fire, especially while injured. With us being on free land as well, they would see us having such a large number of pack wolves here in an attempt to claim the area. The threat to their land would encourage them to attack to fight to the death to keep it for themselves. The amount of no-man's land in the country was already rapidly dwindling. The room they had to run free was getting smaller each year as packs, humans, and other species alike expanded their communities. The larger we all grew, the less room the rogues had. I kept Lana curled up against my side as everyone settled into the cars, but she happily kept her hold on me as we pulled away from the house for what I hoped was the last time. I was ready to take her home, to give her a real house where she would be safe. Several pairs of feral wolves lined the road

Lana's P.O.V. I hadn't been surprised that James had gotten away with his charges. In a town as small as ours, he knew everyone and had connections. When he had driven his car into the back of that truck, they couldn't even treat him. Our resources were so limited that they had to rush James to the city next to us for a hospital. It was one of the reasons why he had moved us there when we had gotten married and left our families in the city, an hour away. He was in demand there. As they needed law enforcement officers, he took advantage of that and put fear into everyone he came across, rejoicing in his power. When it came down to it, he got away with everything because of his position. Since he was the only one injured, they probably just wrote it off as an accident instead of reporting that he had been driving under the influence. It was infuriating. I was so tired of people getting away with endangering others, and I was happy he was no longer a threat. Now, all we had to do was

Lana's P.O.V. My jaw dropped at the audacity of the woman on trial before us as she smiled at her alpha. She had tried to kill Oliver, then she had tried to get rid of me. "Excuse me?" I asked instinctively, appalled by the audacity of the she-wolf. I had known better than to speak up and interrupt a pack meeting, but the words slipped from my lips as I stared at Nyla with incredulity. Was she really that confident she would get away with it or was she just that entitled that she thought she could do no wrong? "Please wait your turn, Lana." Alpha Jones scolded. Her collected composure left me with little hope that she was on our side. While she wanted to keep the peace between the two packs, I had to imagine it would be hard on her to sentence one of her own. "Nyla, did you or did you not kidnap Lana?" "I did not," Nyla said with a smirk that dropped as her chains moved, sliding against the skin of her neck. "She came with me willingly. I did not force her, nor did I threaten her

Lana's P.O.V. I let out a breath of relief, knowing there would be justice. The murderer before me would be removed from the Earth, and she wouldn't be able to cause any more harm to others. My hand moved from my thigh to touch the back of it against Oliver's leg as Alpha Jones sided in our favor. This was it. Oliver would have closure, and we wouldn't have to worry about Nyla anymore. She could be put behind us, and we could leave this place behind with her. It was finally time for us to move on and go to Oliver's pack, where we could start over. I smiled up at him brightly, expecting to see the relief on his face. Instead, I found him staring down at Nyla with a look of pain. His jaw was tense, and his eyebrows pinched together. He looked hurt, torn as he turned to look at me, lacing our fingers together. The apology was clear on his face, and my smile fell. Oliver looked away and back to the woman who had caused us so much pain. He kept our hands connected but stepped forward.

Oliver's P.O.V. Lana did nothing to hide her anger toward me. As soon as she had Maddie, and my pack had moved the car seat from her old beater car into one of ours, we packed up and were on our way. Maddie sat between us, offering everyone in the car cookies as we began to drive. Hudson was in the third row of the SUV this time. Having been the one who drove the night before, he did his best to stretch out so he could sleep as soon as we began the trip. His mate sat in the passenger seat, and one of the older warriors was driving. Lana leaned against the door, her eyes closed, but I could hear her heart beating faster than normal. She wasn't sleeping, but she was pretending she was, and I took that as a bad sign. While we couldn't talk with Maddie able to hear us, I didn't want her to go to sleep mad at me. It wasn't fair to her for me to have changed my mind. I had left the packhouse with the intent of demanding Nyla's head for the pain and suffering she had caused me and my mat

Lana's P.O.V.Oliver's door slammed a little harder than it should have, and I let out a deep breath to collect myself as the front doors of the car closed as well."I know this is hard for you, but it will get better." The male's voice from behind me made me jump. I turned to see the man who had helped rescue me sitting in the back seat, looking very squished. "I'm Hudson, by the way. I don't mean to be a bother, but can you fold your seat down so I can get out once you do?"I looked to see Oliver talking to a group of people outside with a smile on his face."Of course, I'm so sorry," I said as I opened the back door and helped to get Maddie out. She rested her head against my shoulder, mumbling about how she needed to go to the bathroom as I fumbled with the handle on the side of the seat before finally releasing it."Thank you," Hudson let out in a groan as he climbed out of the vehicle, lifting his arms to stretch once he was

Lana's P.O.V. The familiar green of her eye and the dark brown hair suddenly made sense. They were the same shade that Oliver had. My mouth went dry, and I swallowed hard as water dripped from my hands into the sink. "You can calm down. You look like a deer in headlights. I'm not going to hit you with my car." She laughed before placing a wet hand on her slightly rounded stomach. "I'm Kaylee." Maddie came over, handing us each a stack of paper towels. I grabbed the unnecessarily large wad blindly with a whispered thank you. "Right, that makes more sense. You're his half-sister. He told me about you." I said as I held out my hand in greeting. Kaylee eyed it for a moment before smiling softly at me. "I'm his step-sister now too, so I think just sister covers it. It's nice to meet you. I was so excited when he said he was bringing you home." Her hand wrapped around mine, and I gasped as her eyes turned silver. Her hold on me tightened as she stared blankly ahead for a few seconds bef

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
The Wolf's Claim BONUS CHAPTER 1: LANA
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
