Claire's POV I'm extremely surprised at his statement, he's never said anything like that before...what did he mean by that? Before I can ask someone jumps beside us and makes me jump "what'd I miss? Beverly just slammed passed me, she looked like she'd go full wolf any second" Tara laughs but I frown and look away, still a little hurt by her commentFirst Tara then my sisters comments, this won't make my top ten days of school "you fill her in, I've got to get to class...I'll see you in there" I tell him and he nods with a frown...is he sad because I didn't respond? I shake it off, not needing anymore to think about today.The rest of my classes go by with no problem, thankfully. Even my fourth, which lucky me I have Beverly in that class. What Lawrence said this morning really spread but I'm sure by tomorrow she'll come up with some rumour about me and everyone will forget about her slutty ways. Lawrence seemed to drop whatever he meant before, after he came to third period we wer
Claire's POV I knock lightly on the large wooden door and wait patiently for my aunt or uncle to answer. I hear footsteps coming so I lightly step back. I look down at the welcome mat that says 'all canines welcomed' I laugh knowing my aunt probably picked this up in some human store.The door open and I look up to see who answered, I'm surprised to see my Father. His dark hair is combed to his head, skin not nearly as pale as mine, frame shorter than most werewolves and blue eyes holding no love for me. "Oh hi dad....I didn't know you'd still be here" I tell him"Of course I'm still here, it's my duty to look after my alpha I'm his second in command for a reason" he stands tall and looks past meI look away "right sorry....is Mom in there?" I ask"She went to fetch the pack doctor...he's feeling worse" my Father says and I nod as he walks past meI step in and pass the kitchen and enclosed office that leads out to the beautiful back yard. I walk up stairs to where I know my uncle
Claire's POV May screams even though she gasps for the little air that enters her lungs. I hear my Mother cry out and fall into my father's chest."We need to get May to my office now" Sonia says but I'm too shocked to move and my Mom clutches to my Father"Claire go get someone now!" Sonia says loudly and I shake my head and run out of the room in tearsI make my way through the front door and search the area for someone to help. I start to run to the training field filled with wolves to help. "Claire! What's wrong?" I hear a voice to the left of meIt's Lawrence, he's in my driveway and looks very confused at me. I wipe away the tears "Lawrence" I say breathlessly "please help" I beg and run back into the house, knowing he'll follow3As I run up the stairs I hear him behind me, calling out my name but I ignore him, the only sound I hear is Mays weeping. I step back into the room and fight back the tears and screams I want so bad to let out."Lawrence, lift May and bring her to my
Claire's POVIt's been three days since the death of our Alpha and pregnant Luna. The pack has been out of work and school since the disaster. Everyone in my house as been silent. The funeral was yesterday...it was lovely and beautiful but one of the most painful days of my life. No one has decided who will be the next alpha. Sonia still doesn't know the cause of death but is working hard to figure it out.After the meeting the council met again and discussed if they would pick the next in line or choose a different member of the pack completely. As for now we are all just trying to stay as normal as possible.All I know is I have to run. I've been cooped up in this house because everyone, like me, wants to run off there pain. But my parents, as always, have made sure I stay in the house, even though they hardly pay attention to me they have their ways. Last night my parents helped clean out alphas house and they found his will. I'm not sure what it says but the council met up last ni
Claire's POVI quickly walk over to my house and step into chaos. My mothers running around trying to tighten my father's tie why brushing her hair and Beverly is running up the stairs and into the bathroom, half her hair curled"go get ready now, your dress is already laid out" my Mother instructs putting in a pair of dangly earrings.I nod and look over her, she's wearing a dark grey dress coming down to her knees. A belt accentuates her small waist and matching heels have a small dark blue bow on the toe. Her blonde hair is curled and half of it is pulled back letting the rest fall down her shoulders. Light makeup is painted into perfection on her face."You look nice" I compliment but she waves me of and tells me to hurry...I see she's back to normal now.I make my way upstairs, confused on why I need to look nice, it's not like he'll look at Tara made that clear. I'm sure his type is more like Beverly, the rest of the wolves love her and I have no doubt my parents will stop at no
Claire's POV Within seconds he's standing right in front of me, my eyes fall from his eyes and handsome face down to my eye level, which happens to be at his very muscular chest "Alpha I would like to offer you a tour of the pack to welcome you into-" my Father begins to say and I step away, allowing my Father to speak to him."Name" his deep voice shakes my chest and I look down at my feet"I'm bryat and this is my wife Luara""Not your names" he says harshly, at that I look up and see him staring directly at meHe raises and eyebrow and my eyes widen, I swallow hard. Looking at him up close he's even more intimidating and handsome. His eyes....there's no comparison but pure liquid gold, his skin is flawless, his sharp features making any woman with eyes swoon. The stubble of his beard makes my hands itch to hold his jaw. His dark hair is lush and gleams in the sunlight, I notice now his scent is stronger than normal, like all alphas, but different...so intoxicating "Claire" I say
Claire's POV It's been a day since Martin, I guess it's ok to call him that in private, showed up. After one of the most embarrassing moments of my life I took a shower and couldn't stop thinking about everything that had happen. My Father gave the three of them a tour yesterday and came back to yell at me for disrespecting the alpha and him.I was praying and hoping that yesterday would just go completely normal. I was supposed to stay quiet while the new Alpha walked into the pack, he'd talk to my Father a little and I'd go home only ever speaking to the alpha...well never. But that didn't happen, obviously. I can't believe the Alpha saw me practically naked. I groan at the thought and pray I don't have to see him for at least a week, he'll probably be to busy with getting to know the pack.It's already mid day and I've stayed in my room all day, I didn't want to be out there anyways. I lean back against my bed and sigh, it feels like I haven't run in ages and at this point I feel
Claire's POVLook at me" his voice shakes my inner most being and I jump at his words I open my eyes to see him starring into my soul, he's just as handsome today as yesterday. His dark hair is messy and I have to physically hold down my hands to keep me from touching it. His molten eyes are so illuminating they make me want to look away. Something about the way he creases his brow and clicks his jaw makes everything about his even more intense. "I'm sorry Alpha" I say in a squeaky tone, my instinct to not look directly into his eyes"What are you doing out here?" He asks in a flat tone"Nothing, I was just going-""Do not lie to me" his voice goes deeper with each word that leaves his lips I stay silent a moment "I went for a run" I say hardly above a whisper, my eyes trailing down to the ground"Alone?" He asks, anger raising in his chest16"Yes Alpha" I nodWhen he doesn't respond I hesitatingly look up at him through my lashes. His golden eyes move down my small body and my ey
