||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|| “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
