All Chapters of HE'S MY ALPHA: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

CLAIR It's been two days since we last saw him— since we went running and hunting in the woods. I heard from the Beta that he had gone out for some investment meetings, taking a few warriors with him. Aside from running the pack, Jake owned, or should I say, the pack owned, multiple businesses that he personally ran, including those in the human territory. And knowing he was out there with humans, a part of me was somehow jealous of the possibility of him getting attracted to some human enough to take her as his Luna. I guessed she'd be less complicated than me. I sighed again, dismayed by my own thoughts. I washed all the dishes in the sink after I had eaten my breakfast and headed off to the living room to pass the time since I had no plans to attend the training today. It had been more than a week since I had been at the training ground. I would probably go tomorrow, or the next day, or whenever. It was just that lately, I'd been losing motivation to train. Dad went to work as

JAKE My head dropped to my side, jerking my body awake from sleep. I must have fallen asleep leaning on my office chair again. The clock overhead read 3:05 AM. I’ve been here in my office since yesterday afternoon, rummaging through the journals of the past Alphas and Lunas of my pack. Elder Garret had sent in more than twenty journals, including the ones owned by the previous Betas and Gammas. More things to look at. After what had happened with Clair and what I found out about her and Aeon, I decided to work my ass off to find what I needed instead of drowning myself in alcohol to pacify my frustration and my jealousy. I was already tired from all the journal reading I’d done in the past few days. All of them were useless - they all said the same thing. Whether they were chosen Lunas or fated ones, they only stayed alive or stayed as Lunas for one to two years. There was nothing new. There was nothing that could give me a glimmer of hope. I knew I couldn’t just stop or waste any

CLAIR The breakfast went well, but I felt they weren’t talking about anything serious because I was still there. The conversations rounded out about the pack and the businesses, which were interesting, but I felt like I was dragging them away from the real reason they were here. So as soon as I finished my meal, I went back to my room and brushed my teeth, changed into my jeans, and slipped on my sneakers before heading out. They were still in the kitchen, talking, but went silent when I came in. I went and placed a kiss on Dad’s forehead before smiling at him and the Beta as I headed out of the house. "Where are you going? Daycare?" Jake followed after me. His voice was soft and a little worried. "No. City," I answered as I continued to walk, only turning around to face him when I reached my truck. "I’m coming with you," he said in a low voice, his eyes gazing at me softly. "No. Dad wanted to talk with you. I’ll be fine." I smiled. My palm reached for his chest and rubbed it, d

CLAIR. The car finally came to a halt. I don’t know how long we were in the van, but it wasn’t dark outside, though it looked like the sun was ready to set in this part of the country. Although my hands and feet were hurting from being tied up, I was grateful that I was not blindfolded and that my mouth wasn’t bound. I carefully studied the faces of the men around me. If I get my chance, they’ll be the first ones to face my fury. Rain kept snarling in my head, castigating me for going out of the territory. She was blaming me for declining our mate’s offer to accompany us. If Jake were there, he would have never left us alone. And this would have never happened. My chest constricted at the thought of Jake. Does he know now that I was taken? Would he be worried? Of course. I was part of his pack, and knowing him as an Alpha, he’s protective over his people. But a part of me hoped that I was more than a member and that he would make an extra effort to find me. I pushed negative tho

JAKE. Her connection with my pack was severed. It was either because she was a lone wolf now or because she had pledged loyalty to a new pack. I couldn’t describe the pain in my chest when it hit me. It was torturous. Not because it was unbearable, but because I knew it was her. My only consolation up until the moment she denounced the pack was that she was alive. But it was no longer guaranteed after this point. This was all my fault. I should have claimed her. She’s fucking mine, but because of my stupidity and cowardice, I let all this happen to her. The pain I felt right now was tenfold more than what I had felt when she left the first time when I thought she had found her mate. At least then, I believed she was happy. All the pain was just for me. But now I knew she was in danger, and this made the pain more unbearable. I had poured whisky into my glass, but it stayed untouched for Goddess knows how long. I couldn’t bring myself to drink it. I wanted to just back out, not fun
