||Clayton||After Claire and my mom left, I first went to the playground to see my son before I went up to my office with the guys to discuss business.There were a lot of pack finances to review, treaties to go over and other packs problem to deal with.”We have a problem, alpha. “ Bredon muttered once we settled in our seats.“Yes, go on.””The information coming to us from our warriors on the borders are that the dark moon warriors are not taking the contract seriously. They sleep on duty and there's been a reduction in the numbers as the days goes by. They are not more than 20 as we speak.”My face distorted into anger. I don't understand why what and his disorganized pack keeps giving me problems. They kept on putting my people in danger after all the stress I went through to fix the problems on our borders.That cousin of mine seems to be playing with me.He was taking the contract between the two packs as a joke.”Alpha Wyatt has taken us for granted. He know we will defend the
||Roxanne||Running out of Clayton's office I allowed my tears to flow freely and didn’t stop the sob that tore out my mouth.I felt shattered and my heart broke.. He humiliated me in front of his friends. I thought Clayton will come around. He would love me when he realized he was mateless. I was jealous. Jealous of Clayton. Jealous of Claire. I wanted what they had. I wanted my own mate.Why haven't I found him yet?I was 26 years old single mateless she-Lycan. When I turned 20 years I still hadn't found my mate, I thought he wasn't in Silver City so I was forced to travel around the globe in search of him I attended every event of packs I traveled to. Invited or not but still to no avail. I searched for a good six years and still nothing. I became depressed and cried in my apartment for months.I felt lost until one day, Adeline called to tell me of her plans to make me the next queen of Lycans and werewolves.Immediately when she told me I was chosen to be Clayton’s mate, I was e
||Roxanne|| ” Who is your ex?” he asked after a while. “He is not my ex.” I chuckled. “At least that's what he said.” “Sorry,” he frowned. “Who is the dude?” “His name doesn't matter, really.” I sighed. “I just want to get drunk and forget the conversation ever happened.” I ushered him to his drink “Don't lie to yourself. it matters to you. if not you wouldn't be in so much pain.” He furrowed his brows and he tilted to the side, and parted the back of my hand with his. He was trying to comfort me. “I am not hurt because he found his true mates. I am mad that they called me back to the pack when they knew he didn't wants me. I am mad that they built my hopes up. I am mad that nobody thought I needed an explanation and apology. The person I am mad at the most is the moon goddess. she didn't think I also need my mate.” I raised my voice but since we were in the club no one heard my ranting apart from Jason. I inhaled an exhale before adding… “I want to be so mad at the g
||Clayton||It was night time and I was excited to get back to Claire. After the marking, our bond has become intense and I always yearned to be with her.I wanted to touch her, kiss her and cuddle her. Fuck! That was an innocent lie. I did not just want to cuddle, I want to feel her warm pink pussy and her perky breasts.My cock was aching to be inside her. I wanted to make love to my mate. That was the only thing I could think about since I left my office in the afternoon but Bredon decided to spoil my plans. He spent his evening with us.Claiming that Claire promised him his favorite food and movie for picking her and Calvin up from their apartments the other day.That's motherfucker was a cock blocker. Kicking him out of my apartment was the least of the things I wanted to do to him.I couldn't wait to climb up into our bed to have Claire all to myself, after I tuck Calvin into bed.“It's time for bed, little man.”Calvin whined.” But I'm not sleepy.”“I know but you have schoo
|| Claire||It was the feel of sparks and warm hands that drew me out of the dreamland. It was Claytons. The sparks made him obvious. I try to stay awake for him but I was too tired to keep my eyes open so I drifted off into oblivious.I was stuck in the remnants of dreams when again I felt a touch from someone. Thinking I was being attacked in the dreamland, my subconscious mind acted accordingly and I knee my attacker before a familiar warm tingling sensation moved up my thigh.“Fuck! Are you OK?” I jolted out of bed into a sitting position, hoping I didn't hurt my mate.I don't know why he didn't wake me up like a normal person.“Clayton, it's still dawn. A few hours more before my wake up time.” I groaned, glimpsing at the clock.I yawned, rubbing my eyes to clear the sleep when I felt him grab me and carried me into the bathroom. I didn't see when he pulled off my clothes. The next thing I felt was his lips on mine and my body being immersed in a warm soapy water.We kissed for a
||Alpha Clayton|| Calvin crawled from his mother to me, wrapped his arms around my neck seeking comfort. I embraced him and his mama, releasing an exhale.I felt so incompetent at that moment. I couldn't protect them. I couldn't make the people I love the most feel safe. I felt so useless and incapable. I saw all the red flags with Alpha Wyatt. He was slacking and I knew that very well. I shouldn't have just warned him. I should have just canceled the agreements between us and gone to war with his pack.Yes, I thought that son of a motherfucker will change his ways after my threats but he chose today out of all days, to withdraw his warriors from the borders, claiming that his pack was under rogue attack.Damn him and his pack! Although I increased my warriors at the borders it couldn’t stop the Wendigos from infiltrating our border. What irked me the most was that their attack was well organized. They knew exactly what they were doing and where to go. Because they went straight
|| Alpha Clayton||I waited for about twenty minutes and when my mate was in deep slumber, I covered her with a blanket and sneaked out of the room without making any noise.I descended the stairs and walked into Calvin’s to check up on him.He was in deep sleep with Trixie lying beside him. Both of my parents were sitting around the bed, watching Calvin sleep like a hawk.”How is Claire? “ My dad asked as I strolled in.”She is sleeping now,” he nodded.I passed them both and waltzed to Calvin. I wiped the dry trail of tears off his face and sat on the bed kissing his forehead.”Did you find that asshat who sent the Wendigos? That's devil has no humanity in him. How can they attack children?”My mother was enraged and I could almost see fire coming out of her ears.”My men are out there searching for the culprit, mom. I will find them soon.”I muttered determined to uncover who was behind the Wendigo attack and how he was making them.One thing I was sure of was that the person in q
||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.”
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
