||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||“ Let's go in. Our meeting has been long overdue.“Clayton exhaled hearing my reply.He visibly relaxed and nodded. Then he squeezed my hand in his but I could tell he wasn’t so sure about it. But then, he opened the door to his office with his left available hand.A drop-dead gorgeous, middle-aged woman of about 5’6 rushed towards us she was in a perfectly pressed green dress and a pair of stilettos.Her hair was auburn and her eyes were electric blue.Her face was heart-shaped and even at her age, I could see her gorgeous curvature and stunning long legs.Her beauty was incomparable. Her title as the queen of werewolves and Lycans suits her. She is exactly what I envisioned our queen to be.I almost stared myself down. I was nothing like her. She was a perfectionist and I was quite the opposite.She swayed her body gracefully striding towards us.“ Clayton, dear,” she reached out to my mate and took his large form into a hug.“What are you doing here mum?” Clay muttered i
|| Claire||“The half moon is a long-standing tradition of the moonstone pack. We celebrate under the half moon, thanking the goddess for blessing us with light.” Silas simply explained.“Oh, that sounds interesting,” I replied.“Yes, it is. Tonight’s celebration is a bonfire and I think it’s the best time to introduce you to the pack, Claire dear,”Huh!Beads of sweat formed on my forehead and my heartbeat increased.“I want the entire pack to see my flawless daughter.”Adeline broke into a fat smile.“ Fuck! No mom!” Clayton immediately disagreed.“ No cursing in front of the kid, Clay,” Adeline scolded, gritting her teeth at Clay with a disapproving glare.“As a matter of fact, I was asking my daughter, not you. So stay out of it.” she was stern. “Sorry,” my mate murmured. His voice was tiny as he looked down in shame.“ So what do you think Claire? Do you wish to meet your pack? I know they will love to officially meet you.”Adeline gave me her full attention as she inquired. I kn
||Claire||I trembled with my eyes downcasted.Seriously, I had no idea Clayton’s pack was this many. I just thought a few people would be present but all these sets of eyes made me extremely uncomfortable. “I didn't think your pack was that many.”“Our pack, little gem. You are not a guest in the pack. You are the Luna. The soon to be queen and everyone in the pack have the right to meet you. That is the rule so please bear with this just for tonight and I promise to be by your side the entire time. We can also get out of here after the introduction.” he added.“Your face looks red, little gem. Breathe, love. Breathe for me.” Clayton gently capped my cheeks and turned me to him so we were gazing into each other's eyes, and he ordered me to breathe.I inhaled deeply and exhaled.“Are you calm enough?” he asked and I nodded, breathing in and out.“Good. Now let's meet the pack. You can do this.”“Yes, I'm ready,” I muttered.“That's my girl,” he grinned at my reply, tightened his arms
||Claire||“I was born in this pack I am a Lycan female. Powerful and poised. A good combination for a queen. Clayton was mine way longer than he met you. Believe me, when I say he will choose me over you when he realizes how insignificant you are at his side,”Wow.… this conversation was getting more interesting.I quirked my brows and crossed my arms over my chest. Inside my body was charred with fury but I was more poised than ever, with a cute little smile tugging on my lips, and my eyes narrowed and sharp like a knife.But silence was the best weapon so I ignored her and decided to walk away, pretending I did not see or hear her.I wasn’t about to let this small thing intimidate me.I have been intimidated by Alan and his family enough.I inwardly laughed when I saw the rage in her orbs as I ignored her existence. I could tell out front that she was an attention seeker.“You're absolutely no one to him. I am back and ready to take what was firstly mine.” I sensed that my attempt
||Claire||“ I can explain..”“ I don’t want to hear it, Clay. You had the entire week. No…… the entire month to explain but said nothing. You humiliated me in front of the pack.” I shrieked in anger.My eyes were burning with wrath. I wasn’t sure where I was heading. But I didn’t want to be around him. I was furious with him and that poor excuse of a woman.“I didn’t say anything because there was nothing to tell,“ Clayton whispered and his footsteps got louder as if he was closer than I thought.“ There was nothing to tell? Really now, Clayton?” I gave a dramatic laugh. “Your girlfriend was in the pack and you failed to notify me. Now you stand before me to tell me that was nothing important!“ I stopped in my tracks and turned toward the man I had grown to love so dearly.“Umm…” he was nervous and his eyes gave off remorse.“Think hard before you answer, Alpha Clayton Wolke.” I gritted my teeth.“Don't call me that,” he growled, running his hand on his face in frustration. “Sorry,”
