All Chapters of Treasured by the Alpha Prince: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

||Alpha Clayton||*Four Years Later*Havoc, my wolf was getting more restless as the days turned into months and months into years. 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. Or maybe I wasn't given one or perhaps the goddess was punishing me for something my predecessors did.But then again, I was determined to find her even if she was hiding under the earth. Claire had also disappeared from the surface of the earth.I have hired five private investigators in the country and none of them seems to be getting anywhere with the search.If I wasn't an alpha and technically a prince, I would have made it my personal quest to track Claire down. I still get those goosebumps when I think about her.Sex was losing its desirability over the years. No matter how attractive my p

||Claire||The next day business was slow at the shop during breakfast. We had a few customers coming in and little to do so I decided to do inventory and some cleaning behind the counter.“You good?” Vivi asked the tenth time when I stopped cleaning to glance at the door when I heard the doorbell went off.I nodded and went back to cleaning but I knew she wasn’t convinced and she wasn’t going to let it go …With everything going on, I was determined to have a calmer shift than yesterday no matter who decided to come knocking on my door. I cleaned the counter, rinsed the mugs, and started making a new set of coffee. I went back to the kitchen to prepare ingredients for the lunch rush even if it was hours away. I was lost in work until my body jerked alive.A small gasp escaped my lips at the shock of feelings that stirred inside me before his scent infiltrated my senses. But I dared not raise my eyes to look at him. Not after my reaction to him yesterday. His gaze was burning into my

||Alpha Clayton||Calvin Sweet tooth pastries was the name of the shop the detective gave as her place of work so there was not much digging to do and I wasn't much of a stalker.I was a straightforward type of guy. Without wasting any time, I went straight into her shop. As soon as I stepped into her place of work, I scented her.My entire body seemed to be shackling at her proximity even before my eyes connected to her. She smelled like home. Soft sweet and fruity. A perfect mix of vanilla, amber scent, and something more greenery. It reminded me of an early morning walk through the garden in mid-spring and early summer.Her scent made me feel again. It felt like walking barefoot on the beach sand during summer, heading somewhere familiar yet exhilarating. Cold and warm at the same time. She was my mate, no second guessing there. Undoubtedly, she was made for me by the goddess and I couldn't be more happier.Mate! Mate! Mate! Havoc verified it, prancing and howling the word over

||Alpha Clayton||She won't look at me. No matter how much I try to draw her attention, my mate will just not look my way... It was as if she did not feel the pull between us. Was the mating bond that weak?However, I believe she felt it to some extent. Her face turned red when I stared at her for too long and she became a little jumpy and on full alert when I was around her.Nonetheless, she had no problem being in my presence and she spoke freely to me as if I was her equal. Which I was. Besides my parents and friends, I had a formal relationship with the rest of the world and they all crumbled at my existence. Both humans and werewolves.But not her. She was different. Mostly I have to try hard to get people to ease up around me but in the end, they treated me as someone higher than them.It was exhausting because regardless of how hard I tried, all they saw was a prince. A royal, not someone they could vibe with. The whole alpha thing, the prince title, and my royal aura and blo

||Claire||The next morning, at 5 am I was up to start my day. I brushed my teeth, donned my sports bra and leggings, and grabbed my water bottle before making my way out of the apartment building through the back door.I jogged about a mile to a nearby forest behind the apartment and stripped behind a tree. After hiding my clothes in a tree, I shifted.And when my paws smacked the grassy ground, I ran into the forest. The cool morning breeze was invigorating. The gentle whistling of the wind was the sound that calmed my nerves and cleared my scattered thoughts to a state of relaxation.The endless rows of trees drew me deeper and deeper into the woods and I only stopped when the gushing sound of the flowing river came to me. There, I sat down by the riverside, stared at my reflection, and admired the morning sky.It was a beautiful morning as dawn broke over the city. The first ray of light was my cue to dash back. I ran back through the same path I used, transformed into my wolf, dr
