|| Claire||“Really?” I choked on my word. “D-Do you have to do that?” I raised a brow pretending I was not affected by him.“Do what?” “This!” I moved my hands pointing at his bare chest.”Take off your shirt while I'm in the room talking to you.” He snickered chuckling.” We are mates, Claire, You should get used to seeing me naked from now on. Because I will be showing you more skin in the future.” he winked at me. He declared as if it was a normal thing to say and I liked that my mate was comfortable enough to be this open.I held my breath as he grabbed a towel from the rack and stepped into the bathroom.I flushed at his words. Get used to seeing him naked? Was that an invitation?“Tempting,”“Is that the only thing you got out of his comment?” Hazel chuckled in my head. “ I like the future part, though. Mate wants to spend his forever with us.” she purred.I don't think catching a glimpse of Clay naked was something I could ever get used to. Even the sight of his bare chest wa
||Claire||I woke up to a scrumptious aroma coming into the room from the kitchen. I sat on the bed and stretched my legs on the bed and arms in the air. I felt contented and satisfied.I rolled out of the bed into the bathroom with a huge smile on my face. I brushed my teeth and took a long soapy bath. Humming my favorite song from the 90s ‘All My Life’ by K-CI and Jojo.It was a little over 30 minutes when I dried myself and tugged on a floral print dress Vivian packed for me. I slipped on my slippers and realized my feet were fully healed. I headed down, taking the stairs, and I was graced with a beautiful heartwarming sight before I descended the last stair.Clayton and Calvin were cooking in the kitchen drenched in flour as they chased after each other with what I think was our breakfast. Warmth crept into my chest and a smile broadened on my face as I folded my arms and leaned at the entrance watching the beautiful show playing in front of me.“Good morning guys,”“Good morning
||Claire||The image of him made juices soak in my pants and I prayed to the goddess that Clayton would not smell my arousal in the air.But my prayers did not reach the mood goddess in time as Clay leaned over and placed his lips next to my ears before he murmured.“I can smell you, little gem.” he brushed his lips against my ear and a shiver ran through me. I gasped and shoved him away from me as my face turned red and goosebumps appeared all over my skin.Clayton roared with laughter before pulling me into his chest and embracing me tightly.“It's alright, little gem. Don't feel embarrassed. You have no idea how happy it makes me to see how affected I make you and how easily your body responds to my words and touch. This little body of yours is mine to touch. Mine to kiss and mine to fuck until you can’t walk straight.” he growled lowly with so much possessiveness in his voice and I could feel his wolf's deep baritone mixed with his.I almost came undone at the tone of their voice
||Claire||“I have found my second chance mate,” I said smoothly as quickly as possible.My parent gasped and their eyes popped out of their eye sockets.Silence followed and my heart pounded against my ribcage. Thinking the news had scared my parent into muteness.They were both stunned to the point that they didn't move a muscle.“Mom, Dad are you still breathing or do I need to call the doctor?” I asked, agitated.“Claire, tell us, who is he?” my mom queried, after taking in a long airy breath.I swallowed. I did not want them to die of heart attack when they found out I was mated to the Alpha prince so I stuck to his name and his Alpha title.“Alpha Clayton,” I mumbled as low as I could muster.“ANOTHER ALPHA???” my dad roared and got up to his feet. “Hell NO! I'm not going to allow another asshole to destroy my daughter's life. One Stupid Alpha is enough in this lifetime.” my dad scowled.“Don't you think that is my decision to make, Dad?” I said dryly.“Like hell it is,” he sh
||Claire||Clayton was true to his words. He visited the shop and my apartment every single day and the week fled in a blur. An exhausting blissful blur. From the moment I woke up to the moment my head hit my pillow. The days were filled with baking and serving all the time. And my evenings were spent with Calvin; catching up on his day at dinner and reading his favorite kids' book to him before bed.Also, Clayton was coming by to enjoy our company. We have begun to understand each other more and the level of understanding I had with him in the past few days was more than I had with Alan.My mom however, texted and called occasionally during the week. She couldn't shut up about Clayton. She kept asking questions about my mate and to shut her up, I told her about our upcoming date.Today was Friday and also our date night. Vivian and I drove back to our apartment and strolled into the room where the nanny was with the kids.Vivi and Trixie showered while I waited in the living room wi
||Claire||“Okay, I will be your informant just this once. So try and keep up with the celebrity gossip.”I nodded.“Well, where do I begin.” he went silent for a bit then started.” My parents live close to the forest where you were attacked. I was visiting them when I heard you scream. It is also the location of the Moonstone old pack house. Some of the pack members still reside there. My favorite person was my grandfather. The former Alpha king, Gerald Wolke, and my least favorite is my cousin, Wyatt. The now Alpha of the Dark Moon pack. Who is set out to destroy me and whatever I love.” he chuckled at his own comment and I wondered why his cousin wanted to destroy him.“Maybe out of jealousy,” Hazel suggested and I nodded in agreement.That could be the only reason for families to turn against each other.“But after my grandfather's death, I look more to my father. My dad is a hard man, shows little to no emotions but he is a good father and I have no complaints against him.”“What
||Claire||I was up by 5 in the morning, I changed into workout clothes and packed a few changing clothes for Calvin and me before I made my way towards the door with Calvin sleeping heavily in my arms. I was meeting up with Clayton for an early morning run since we wanted my wolf and his Lycan to spend some quality time together.“ I can’t believe I let you talk me into this.“ Bredon said as he walked towards me and carried Calvin from my chest.“Good morning to you too, Bredon,“ I rolled my eyes. “It really didn’t take much to convince you into this. Suck it up!“‘ I smiled to myself thinking about all the tricks I used on Bredon, to get him to agree to be my chauffeur last night.So yesterday, after Clayton saw me to my door, he called for a chat after he arrived home and we discussed the time for the run and means of transportation.He had few businesses to attend to at the borders at dawn but he still wanted to forgo it and drive over to pick Calvin and I. But I couldn’t be a hi
||Claire||Adrenaline was pumping into my veins as I ran through the trees. Cool air rippled through my fur and I jumped over logs. I felt Havoc catching up to us in seconds so I became creative.I changed the direction running through a narrowed path, dodging and slipping through the tree with my small frame. This was to slow down Clayton just a little bit.I leaped into a clearing and came across a waterfall. It was beautiful and looked like another world in our world. I didn’t get the chance to admire it as Clayton appeared behind me and caught me in his strong arms.Before his body slumped into the grassy ground with me locked in his embrace and we rolled multiple times over the grass...With our bodies locked together, my mate leaned backward. Clayton’s eyes were embedded with apprehension as they bore into my brown one.“You okay, Claire?” he inquired. “Are you hurt?” The fear of me being hurt was present in his eyes. I wrapped my legs around his waist and rolled us over severa
Claire’s POV “Claire??” Clayton's voice called out to me, but it sounded distant, muffled, as if I was detached from reality. I was physically present, yet felt disconnected from my own body, numbly watching as the place that had brought me so much joy and pride was consumed by flames.Everything was destroyed, nothing was left. In fact my heart and soul got burned with it. The memory was vivid in my mind, as if it had happened just yesterday when the previous owner confiding in Vivi, Eva, and me about her desire to sell the place. I had seen the potential and enthusiastically suggested we seize the opportunity, and the girls had agreed. The thrill of purchasing the shop still lingered, but now, in the wake of the fire, our excitement had turned to devastation.The thought made me so angry. I felt myself burning. I was freaky hot. The burning sensation was not from the fire but from something deep inside me.“Claire, can you hear me?” Clayton’s panicking voice reached my ears
Clayton's POVPulling up at the rogue town, a fire truck was a few meters away from the shop. The city policemen had secured the scene and hauling the rogues gathered away from the shop for the firefighters to do their job properly.Bredon’s car was parked some distance away and as we got out of the car, Claire rushed towards the fire with tears streaming down her face. She quickly embrace a crying Vivi as they mourned their loss together.She sprinted towards the inferno, her face etched with panic. I quickly grabbed her, holding her back just in time. The shop was already half-consumed by the flames, which were bursting out of the window with intense heat that could be felt from afar.I scanned the area and spotted Chief of police known as Big D, he is also my head warrior, and waved him over.“Alpha.” He gave a slight bow and turned to my mate. “ Luna I am so sorry about your shop.” Claire nodded her head ones.“Was everyone in the shop accounted for?”“Yes, Alpha, thanks to the f
Claire's POVI quickly handed the shopping bags to the omegas and strode through the house in search of my mate and son.“Mommy you are back!”A happy bubbling Calvin wrapped his arms around my waist hugging me.“Did you have a great time with daddy?” I asked about his day, running my fingers through his hair.“Yes mommy, you wouldn't believe where dad took me today.”He said, all happy, bouncing on his feet. My Calvin was full of energy and that made me smile.“Tell me all about it, baby.” I perked him on the cheeks.“We went ice skating today.” His cheeks flushed from the cold air. “Dad said I am a natural, mom, and he helped me with roller skate too. Did you know that there is a special way to step on the ice?”“No, I didn’t know that.” I exclaimed dramatically.“Yes, I moved around dancing, round, and round and round, and running with dad. That was so great.” He beamed with pride.“Sound interesting”“Yes it was. He told me all the cool stories about skating. We even had a ho
Claire’s POV “How is it going, Claire?”Vivi clinked her tongue knowing damn well how I hated shopping and I didn’t miss the laughter in her voice.“If one more person asks about my well-being, I will run away from this place without looking back. I promise.” I threatened pouting and the two ladies giggled at my displeasure.“You should at least pretend you are enjoying our company, Claire.” Val barked a laugh.“I am, “ I replied sarcastically. “ I’m just frustrated. It’s hot in here and we can’t find a good gown in any of the shops we visited. Can’t we buy it online?”“Hell no!” Vivi exclaimed.” Even if we could, we wouldn’t.” She stated flatly.Val nodded in approval. “We want to see all our options and choose the best. We can’t do that online.”“Well said, sister. Well said.” Vivi cooed and the two high five.“When did you two start ganging up against me.” I frowned and walked briskly into the next shop.The girls and I entered the mall early hours of the morning after we
||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
