||Claire||“You are always in a fancy suit, I assume you are a businessman?”“You can say that.” Again he paused and studied me. His expression went from confusion to realization before giving me a knowing smile. He knew I was attempting to get information about himself out of him.“I am into building materials and real estate, and I work in one of the pack’s companies under the Wolke group.”“Good gracious… wow! So you work for the Alpha Prince.” I stated the obvious.“Or he is the Alpha Prince,“ Hazel muttered inside my head.“No, he can’t be the Prince, Hazel. Stop this crazy talk. We are nobody to be paired with the Prince and the moon goddess will not pair a mere rejected rogue and a single mom to the Prince of werewolves. That would be considered as an error or a mistake and we are done being a mistake to men. ““Relax, Claire. I was only joking. You are getting worked up about the Prince and all.” Hazel huffed and retreated into her place of rest.“Back to earth, little gem.” Cl
||Claire||The next morning, at 5 am I was up to start my day. I brushed my teeth, donned my sports bra and leggings, and grabbed my water bottle before making my way out of the apartment building through the back door.I jogged about a mile to a nearby forest behind the apartment and stripped behind a tree. After hiding my clothes in a tree, I shifted.And when my paws smacked the grassy ground, I ran into the forest. The cool morning breeze was invigorating. The gentle whistling of the wind was the sound that calmed my nerves and cleared my scattered thoughts to a state of relaxation.The endless rows of trees drew me deeper and deeper into the woods and I only stopped when the gushing sound of the flowing river came to me. There, I sat down by the riverside, stared at my reflection, and admired the morning sky.It was a beautiful morning as dawn broke over the city. The first ray of light was my cue to dash back. I ran back through the same path I used, transformed into my wolf, dr
||Alpha Clayton||Raging, I slipped my hand into my pocket for my phone and dialed Alpha Wyatt immediately.“Desperation is a bad look on you, dear cousin.” he teased as soon as the line connected. The amusement in his tone didn't go unnoticed by me.His actions were cheap and showed how inexperienced he was. “I know you are new to being Alpha. Since you have no experience or come from a long line of alphas as I do, allow me to educate you. Your pack is small, barely called a pack. However, you are still in charge of your territory and you must respect Alphas who came before you.” “Cousin..”“I am not done talking,” I growled icily, using my alpha voice on him. It left no room for interruption.“Your bitterness and incompetence aren't my problem. Nonetheless, it has become mine. Your warriors are undertrained and disorganized. No, let me rephrase that, from the way I see it you are a danger to your pack than the rogues. You are sloppy. You can't even run a small pack how did you p
||Claire||It's been four days and I haven't set my eyes on Clayton. He just disappeared from my life. I know I told him I was not prepared for the mate thing but that doesn't mean I don't want him or care about him. He could have just given me a little more time to come to terms with it.“He gave you enough time Claire, how much more do you need? He may be an alpha but he has feelings too.” Hazel snapped at me. She has been irritated and on edge after Clayton left.She didn't say it out loud but I know she blamed me for Clayton's disappearance.“What happened to Prince fucking Charming?” Vivi asked.I passed her a half smile or tried to, just to show how unruffled I was about the whole ordeal.“You tell me, Vivi,” she crossed her arms and scrutinized me. I looked away as speedy as I could. I didn't know what she was searching for but she was more sharper than I gave her credit for.I had to come to terms that he was not coming back. A tiny part of me was glad that he didn't reject

|| Claire||Oh darn it! It is him. The same guy who was introduced as the Prince but a little older. Hahaha! This must be the joke of the year. I cracked up, laughing into his face as if finding out who he was, was a prank.He smirked at me watching me in amusement. I wanted to run. A huge part of me wanted to break into a furious gallop like a horse. “You are the prince!” I stated not expecting any reply. I gripped my stomach laughing hard. The Alpha Prince Clayton Wolke was my mate! It was like I was dreaming. I was frightened of who he was. I was daunted by his rank and his wealth. He was a freaking Lycan. A royal one at that. As if that was not enough, he was the fucking prince. The Alpha of Alphas. One of the strongest and wealthiest men in the kingdom. I was nothing compared to him. I really didn't see that coming. The moon goddess was cunning as ever and she outsmarted me yet again.This guy kept amazing me. I sought after a good guffaw since I couldn't find my tongue and s
||Claire||It was easy finding the washroom and I quickly used the water closet and washed my hands. I observed my appearance and noticed a few changes. The wrinkles under my eyes have disappeared and my hair looked more vibrant. My eyes were filled with light. They were no longer dull. I looked younger than I had been in the last four years and I knew who to thank. It was all Clayton. Finding him was like finding my inner peace and my source of oxygen. He brought not just me but my wolf, Hazel to life, and for the first time in years I thanked the moon goddess for not forgetting about me. And for bringing Clayton into my life.He was the sweetest man ever. He is patient, and kind. He was what every woman needs. I exited the powder room with a gentle smile on my face and instead of going to the movie room, I decided to go out for fresh air.The Moonstone Theatre was at the center of the city and in Silver City where all the elite families lived. I was sure Clayton lived around, in
||Clayton||“Roxanne, the defense minister's daughter,” she replied and I nearly tore her apart.Anger jerked in my body like hot flames and I slammed my fist on the table making her whimper.“What the hell!” I roared.Yes,!Roxy used to be my fucking buddy back in the days. She was not my girlfriend or anything but she went out telling people who she was to me and how much I loved and adored her. That pissed me off.Funny enough, I had never taken the girl on a date or kissed her on the lips. When we meet we just fuck. That was our routine for three years, that was after I turned eighteen.Roxy was wild and nothing but trouble. When she left Moonstone, I felt peace and I thanked the moon goddess for kicking her out of my life but now my parents are threatening to bring her back.Now that things are working out for me and I have found my goddess-sent mate. Claire… shit! What will she think if she finds out?“She will think nothing. That thing is your past and you ended things six year
||Clayton|| Waking up to my mate was the most beautiful feeling ever. Claire’s head was resting on my chest and her light, slowed breathing and heartbeat, meant she was still sleeping. Her heat had settled and I felt I could breathe once again. I hated to see her in pain and unable to do anything but I guess heat was a vital process that every she-wolf or she-Lycan has to go through. It was early hours in the morning and I was smiling uncontrollably just thinking about how our bodies mangled and fitted together last night. It was unlike anything. I can't seem to compare the nights I spent with Claire. Each night was special in its own way and conveyed a different kind of feeling. I wanted to serve her breakfast in bed so I slowly untangled our bodies, trying my best not to wake her. She stirred a little and didn't wake up. I threw on some joggers and a black singlet. I headed down to find out that my Omega had already prepared breakfast for us. I quickly looked through the kitchen
||Clayton|| A few minutes after her transformation. Her scent exacerbated and her heat took over. Another moan echoed through the room and this time Claire’s need whacked me so hard that I nearly stumbled back….. Holy shit! The scent of her heat smashed into my nostrils in tenfolds. I stood on my ground so as not to trip over. My head moved from side to side and sweat beads on my forehead as I tried to remain focused. “Clayton, “ her voice crooked. “ I don't know what is happening to me. I feel so hot all over.” Her voice was enough for me to gather all the strength I needed to move to her. I rushed to my mate’s side and towed her into my lap. My hands burned when I touched her bare skin. She was hot again. This time her body was overheating and I needed to act fast. Claire has been in enough pain already and this pain was nothing like the normal fire. No… not at all. This kind begins from the inside and spreads like wildfire to the outside causing the skin to turn red. I froze
||Clayton|| I was on the phone with one of the contractors in my company trying to allocate resources for the new rogue school to be built for the community. When I heard a loud cry. At first I thought it was from Claire but when nothing followed I began to think that it was a happy cry since she was downstairs partying with her lady friends. But when I heard Val screaming for me to come down, I knew something had happened to my mate and the cry from her wasn't a normal one. With my heart in my throat, I raced downstairs to find my mate on the ground, whimpering in agony. “What happened to her?” I shrieked. My eyes widened and I moved to rush to her side when realization drawn on me. “She is in heat.” I was hit with great waves of her strong scent at the same time Roxanne replied. I paused mid way. I had never had to face a force so strong before. I knew it wasn't just heat. Hell No! This couldn't be what I thought it was. She couldn't possibly be transforming. “Fucking shit!!!
|| Clayton|| Bredon was at his brightest all through training this afternoon. He was usually only this happy when he was screwing with one of his one-night stands, but not today. I was happy that he had finally found his mate, and gotten what the rest of us had, even though he couldn’t go for a second without telling us how great Vivi was. . "What made you think she would accept you? Weren’t you scared? And have you met your daughter yet? Aren’t you afraid she won’t like you?" I asked while pushing through sit-ups. "She's my goddess gift, so she has to be like me in a way, right?” he sat on the ground crossing his legs underneath him. “Simple, I just showed her the real me and left the decision for her to make. I figured she'd likely want the same thing, we were all chasing after; love and it turned out I was right, after all. “ "So, she's completely impassive with being the royal Beta female of the pack and living with thousands of Lycan? She accepted it, just like that?"Casey e
||Claire||Clayton told me that Trixie and Vivian were staying in the apartment just below us and I made it a point to visit them in the morning to find out how they were doing.When morning arrived, Clayton, Calvin, and I took a short trip to the next floor. I knew Calvin also wanted to check up on his friend.We rode the elevator and the door dinged, opening to the floor.“I am going to leave shortly. I need to sign some papers in the office…” Clayton’s words caught in his throat as we saw something we were not supposed to see when the elevator door opened.I quickly covered Calvin's eyes with my hand to save him from horrifying nightmares. I knew the image of Bredon sucking the life out of Vivian will haunt me for the rest of my life.Bredon had Vivian pinned against the door with her feet off the ground and wrapped around him. Their hands were running around each other. They practically wanted to undress and fuck each other right there.“Hmm…” Clayton cleared his throat loudly and
||Claire||The guys and I were absorbed in our conversation trying to come up with a solution to the offeror; The mysterious contract guy from the midnight club.I gazed at Clayton and I could tell he was pinning the pieces of the full thing together. He was in pure rage. The only solution I could come up with was that if we didn’t get someone we knew to do the job, we had to pay a rogue to get the job done.“Ummm……. I was at the midnight club last night.” Roxanne strolled into the greenhouse with her eyes downcast. Even with that, she didn't look less than bold. She was confident and looked like she belonged in the room.“I think yesterday's attack might have been my fault.” We all stared at her stunned. I wasn't sure when and why she was in the room but I think we were about to find out.“What do you know, Roxy?” Casey broke the silence. However, my mate’s eyes were on her, flashing between crystal blue and black.Havoc was making himself known and I was worried his anger would get
||Claire||It has been hours since the lawyer and Clayton's assistant left. I was helpless and all I could do was to pace. I was like a giraffe outstretching my neck to peer through the glass window to see if there were returning from the desert moon pack. I was too timorous to do anything or form logical thoughts. My mind was stopped dead. I had done all the household chores around the apartment, I picked up Calvin's toys around the living room, did Clayton’s laundry, and swept and mopped the house but to no avail. Nothing could get my mind off the meeting.I couldn’t take it losing my son. Just the thought of it brought me to my knees. He was my whole world. My light and my air. I rushed to Calvin. He was engrossed in the cartoon he was watching on the TV and I took his face into my hands. A confused look stretched on his face and I tackled him into a hug.“You are mine, Cal. I won't allow any jerk to take you away from me.” I squeezed him. “You want to stay with mummy… right Calv
||Claire|| “We wolves are bound by rules, you know that? “ I nodded and he continued.” Even I as an alpha Prince cannot violate them. It won't speak well of me and our family. In one section of the birth registry process, it is stated that only the father can register the name of their child. The only instance as she-wolf is permitted to register birth is if her mate is dead or if her mate signs over full custody of the child in question.” “Oh, I didn't know about that.” “I realized,” Clayton smiled warmly. His explanation made so much sense. But what if Alan decides he wants to accept responsibility? What would I do? My stomach dropped. “I know it sounds frightening but we will be able to sleep at night knowing Alan has no legal claim on Calvin.” I bobbed my head. “You are right. So how does it work?” “We will send and notification letter to him through our lawyers and then we wait for fifteen working days if we don't hear from him, the contract will be declared null and voi
||Authors POV|| After the attack. In the dark corner of a bar, a dark angry looking man slammed his hand on the counter after speaking to his scouts. His anger was oozing out of his pores. He lost his possession. His weapon against Alpha Prince Clayton. This morning he could smell and see his impending victory ahead but tonight all he saw was the darkness of his loss. He couldn't accept the Lycan Alpha and his warriors were able to kill all his wendigos but he was not going to give up without a fight. He had a dream and that was to sit on the Lycan throne. He was going to create more beasts if he must. His hopeful eyes darkened as he planned his next move. The vicious bitter man drowned down some liquor before he slammed the empty shot glass on the counter table. He flew in rage and breathed lividly but to appease himself, he muttered. “One failure doesn't matter. Everyone loses sometimes. “ he consoled himself. “I just have to wait and find a way to break the Alpha Prince.”
