I was disheveled. Alan has been lying to me all this time. The hurt in my chest ripped wider and my stomach and chest smeared in pain.I wrapped my arm around myself to provide me with some warmth and comfort.“Get her out of our pack before I have the blood of the bloody whore on my hands!” I growled, threatening.“I can't! “ he hissed.“You can't kill her, Claire.” he roared as his eyes darkened.His wolf was present. His wolf was on their side. He was possessive of Olivia. When did that happen?I seriously didn't see that coming!“If you still want me sane, then you need to send that bitch away.” I stood on my grounds. I won't let him treat me like I was nothing.“Don't call her that, Claire. And I can't ask her to leave. She is carrying my pup.” I gasped. “ Claire, Olivia is pregnant!!”Claire, Olivia is pregnant..... The words started taunting me. My ears began ringing. Everything around me became silent. Muddy.I felt like the air has been sucked out of my lungs and my brain, deprived of oxygen.“What did you just say, Alan?” my voice was quiet.“Olivia is pregnant.” he repeated and continued.” I'm sorry, Claire. I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I fell in love with her when I saw her in her father’s pack” I glared at him as if he had grown two heads.I was too shocked to be startled again by his comment.“Don't get me wrong, Claire. I love you too. But what I feel for her is a little different from the way I feel about you. I don't know exactly what is going on with me. Nonetheless, I think I am madly in love with her and I want her to be my second mate and wife. You would however be my Luna and I would hold your Luna ceremony as soon as possible... I just need you to agree and accept Olivia as part of our little family.” he demanded.He broke me. His words hurt inside. He didn't care about my pain.All he cared about was making Olivia his mistress. He doesn't care about the humiliation I will be subject to when people find out.I will be criticized for being unable to satisfy my mate. All the blame would be pushed on me because I was a woman.Am I that pathetic?“We can do this, Claire. I won't mark her and you will finally get the Luna position. It is what you've always wanted and worked so hard for.” he muttered, grabbing my hands into his. “ I can make you both happy.”Who the fucking hell is the man standing in front of me?Was I that blind to see the kind of man he was?He was truly disgusting. Nauseating! I snatched my hand from him, enrage.“You are completely wrong, Alan. I thought you know me but I guess I was wrong about that too. I don't want the Luna position. I yearned for you. I have always desired to be your lifetime companion. I would have loved you even if I don't get to be your Luna.” Harshly, I wiped my tears away.“Why do you think I stayed and supported you when your mother refused to hand over the Luna title to me? Why do you think I stayed even when your mother was unbearable and insulted me!!! “ I whispered with the intensity in my voice.I was dampened. I felt no pain. Yet I was in distress.“I guess I went through all that misery for nothing. There is no holding back now. I am pregnant, Alan. I am also carrying your pup!” I dropped the bomb on him.“Whatt??” he huffed in disbelief. Shaking his head. “ Don't lie to me, Claire... We both know you are not pregnant. You don't have to lie to gain favor from me. It's okay that you are barren.” Alan uttered.And I was exploding with rage.“I am not barren and definitely not a liar, Alan!” I exclaimed.Walked to the bedside and pulled the result of my pregnancy out of the drawer.I handed it over to him to read it over. The emotions and shock on his face were priceless. I wished I had a camera around to capture this moment.“ I am three weeks pregnant. I found out about my pregnancy yesterday. I was just waiting for the right moment to surprise you.” I sniffed and breathed laboriously. “ You don't need Olivia, Alan. Tell her to leave. I can give you everything you want. I can give you a family of your own. I am pregnant too... Please Alan.” my voice got slightly desperate.I begged my mate with tears rolling one after the other.“I don't want to, Claire, I want Olivia here. I want her by my side so she stays.”“No, you don't. I will not accept a second woman in your life. Never!!” I growled in a challenging tone.All the sweetness in my voice had disappeared. Now. I was a raging woman battling for her love, her home. Fighting the future of her pup and the family she dreams of.Besides, which woman in her right mind will accept another female into her home? That is suicide!“ Don’t make me choose between the two of you, Claire. Because it will definitely not be you. “ I wheezed at his remarks. Here I thought he was in love with me... Hahaha... The joke was really on me once again.He carried on...” You think you have my heart because I kept you by my side. You are a mere she-wolf. Nothing more, nothing less.” he spat angrily.I gasped. This is not happening!My throat dried. I was taken aback. Alan had never insulted me like this. My brown eyes widened as I stared into his hazel one. I mewled.Five years... Five fucking years!!!Was this how it all ends? No! No! No!I have suffered enough to stay and see him with another woman. It was not a healthy environment. Not for me. Not for my pup.It was high time he made a choice.“Choose, Alan!” my voice cloaked.The humming of my heart could be heard miles away. Regardless, I was not backing down.I stood on my grounds. I won't permit a man to push me around even if that man is my mate or my alpha.Breaking... Yes... Reneging... NoI wished to hear his answer. I liked to know how he honestly felt about me.Because I knew I was worth all the love a man could give to his mate.I have had enough of him and his family making decisions for me in the past five years and that was over.I have a pup to protect and I was ready to fight with everything in me. Yet, a tiny shiny thing called hope gleamed inside my heart. I wished he would pick me.“Choose Alan... “ I repeated my statement again.But then, he splintered into laughter. “You think you could survive as a rogue.” he cracked up in amusement and that only expanded the pain in my heart.“I am giving you an opportunity of a lifetime. To become the luna of one of the largest packs in the city. You only need to compromise and accept that Livi is part of me and she is going nowhere.”That sent me into fury.“ Choose the one you want and let's get over with it! What are you waiting for? “ I screeched in annoyance.Yet, my mind did not prepare me for his next utterances.” I did not take you for a selfish bitch, Claire. “ he hissed. “ Fine! You asked for this. Don't say I didn't warn you. “ he exhaled. “ I, Alpha Alan Crawley of Desert Storm Pack reject you Claire Claver, and your pup ad my mate, Luna and heir. From today I band you from entering my pack land.”My heart clenched. Pain rippled through me as I felt the mating bond break partially. I had to accept his rejection before it breaks completely.I couldn't breathe. My lungs were too damaged to accept oxygen.Is this it?Was that all there was to the mating bond?Did love not exist within the bond?In all those years didn't he develop a little amount of feelings for me?Or was it difficult to love me?I wondered but I knew it was over for me. My love story with Alan had come to an end.And I was at the losing end. I Lost everything and gained nothing apart from the miracle living inside of me.I did my best. My only regret was not seeing this sooner. I closed my eyes and allowed my tears to flow because from today I will cry no more.“Accept it, Claire, This is what you longed for. So accept the fucking rejection.” he gritted his teeth.His eyes washed with pain but it was nowhere near the agony brewing and spreading in my organs.“Go on, Claire. Severe the bond. Do it!” Hazel howled inside my head. Her voice was pained.“I, Claire Claver daughter of a pack warrior accept your rejection, Alpha Alan Crawley of Desert Storm Pack. I promise to leave and never return.”Those words were the last I spoke before my wolf left me.She scrambled into her abyss.As pain shot through my chest spreading like an unquenched fire inside my body. My breath hitched. My eyes became glassy with tears and dizzy spells clouded my sight.

||Claire||Before I could give in to the darkness that wanted to consume me, Alan gave a mighty roar and grabbed my arm.I whimpered.His touch did not feel like how it used to. Instead of feeling the usual sparks, I felt like I was being burned by his touch.But Alan did not let go of me regardless of how hard I wrestled against him. He dragged me halfway through the room. Pushed me into a chair and right before my brain could process what was happening, I felt the stinging telltale sign of silver as he chained me down into a chair.Fuck! The rope had been drenched in a silver solution. Struggling, I wept in agony as Alan tied my hands behind the chair and ankles to each side of the chair.Tightly...I was so damn mad. This shitty Alpha rejected me and dared to torture me.“What are you doing, Alan?” I shrieked.The rope was digging into my flesh. Bet it would leave a scar when this is over. Silver or not.“Fucking bastard! Take this thing away from me.” I yelled.He only stopped his

Chapter 5||Claire||My mother crushed into me and we both sobbed together. I embraced her tightly. I needed her warmth. I wanted to feel anything other than the coldness that had clenched my soul like a blanket.“They haven't, Claire. You are not alone. Hazel is in pain too and needs time to heal. And my grandchild is definitely alive. I can feel her heartbeat. Strong like her mothers.” she chuckled and I giggled lightly.“Her??” I drew away a little, with my arms still around hers.“Yes, Claire.” she nodded and beamed at me with tears trickling down her cheeks. “ I wish you will give birth to a little princess with your looks,” she said and we both giggles through our tears.Thank God my baby is fine. I exhaled.Cupping my cheeks, she wiped away my tears and I did the same to her as she whispered. “ You are not alone, Claire. You might have gone through hell today but don't forget you have a mother and a father rooting for you. ““ I know Mum. “ I smiled.“How far along are you?” my

I was determined to embrace this chapter with courage and strength, though I couldn't deny the occasional pang of sadness at not having the support of certain loved ones by my side. Each day brought new sensations and a growing bond with the tiny being whose existence was intertwined with mine. The thought of holding my child, of seeing his little face for the first time, filled my heart with a mixture of longing and hope.Here I was, in the bustling maternity ward, where the air was filled with the laughter and excitement of loved ones visiting the mothers and their new bundles of joy. Everywhere, happiness seemed to dance in the atmosphere, painting the walls with the sheer bliss of new beginnings.But amidst the chatter and celebration, a stark contrast lay beside one solitary bed, a bed void of any eager visitors or well-wishers.

There were no fireflies or sounds from small insects. The place was quiet. Not even a cricket chirped.All noise died out as my boy and I trudged a little deeper into the forest where our cottage was and after ten minutes walk or so.My wolf, Hazel became alert and started sniffing the air around us.We sensed scents and heartbeats. Different kinds of them. The rotten scent of a spoiled fish. All coming from my small hut.“Bloody rogues!” my wolf snarled.My heart leaped as I saw a flashlight through my little window. Followed by the crashing sounds of my things as my cottage was been raided.I quickly hid my body behind a tree as a giant of a man stepped out of my cabin, glancing around and sniffing the air as if he could sense something or someone..me!“How many of them?” I asked Hazel through our open-mind link.“About fou

His blue eyes appeared to be more thoughtful than scrutiny.I swallowed, bobbing my head.“This way.” he guided me to the passenger seat, and shut the door like a gentleman before getting behind the wheel, in his electric red sports car.“ Will he be fine with you bringing a rogue and a rogue child to his territory?” I raised a brow.“Yes. He won't refuse me. I will speak to him first thing in the morning.” he turned the heater on when he hopped in and glanced at me through the corners of his eyes.“Have we met before?” Beta Bredon asked while starting the car.“No,” I muttered.“Hmmm, you look familiar. “ he uttered.My breath hitched under his scrutinizing eyes.

The crowd became chaotic as mumbling and murmuring rang through the ceremonial hall.Well, it seemed I wasn't the only one who was surprised by the Luna presented.Luna Alice, Alpha Alan's mother was quick to explain to everyone.“ Settle down people, Olivia has been in Alan's life for over a decade now and I can say she is the daughter I never had. “ she gave a tight smile. “She may not be Alan fated but mates nevertheless”Double shit! What??“I'm elated and pleased to have Olivia in my place, following my footsteps. She is kind, resourceful, and resilient. A perfect combination for a Luna. And with her carrying the Crawley bloodline, I believe her job as the Luna is partially done. “ she smiled brightly and her eyes hazed over. It looked like a genuine emotion.Olivia did not stop caressing her baby bump. They both seemed happy or at least infatuated with each other.Chosen mate? Ha!I was still in increduli

My wolf and I still hadn't found our mate yet.And the waiting was becoming frustrating and depressing. I have been to most of the packs in thousands of miles outside the silver city but nothing.I was beginning to think my mate wasn't in the damn country or dead.

||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

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

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!!!

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.”
