All Chapters of Claiming Back His Throne: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Maddox kept his word by coming to pick me up in the morning. Garrett was also in the car. Unlike yesterday, Maddox drove. I sat in the back seat by myself. They called out the names of the places we passed, introducing me to restaurants and shops for groceries. The car then stopped in front of a building.There were only a few vehicles, which I was sure belonged to people who lived quite far from here. We werewolves preferred to walk in our packs. Maddox walked first, so I followed.They led me to the back of the building. It turned out to be a spacious field where people practiced martial arts. They must all be his warriors. Not only men, there were also women among the soldiers.“This is where we train. Garrett and I sometimes participate when paperwork doesn’t occupy our attention. Cora is in charge of the training.” She looked at the woman who was dueling with a heavily built man.Although the man was fast and cautious in every move, Cora managed to keep up with him. The duel was

I felt a hard slap by that fact. I was so happy to have met Alpha Axel. Even though I was the oldest to find a mate, I didn’t care. I believed the Moon Goddess had a good intention in giving Alpha Axel as my mate. But I had the wrong idea. This distinctive scent I smelled, the flutter of passion I felt when our skin touched, even Lou’s claim could be false. Alpha Axel and I were not mates. I didn’t know how to explain this to my family. I also didn’t know how to say this to everyone in our Pack. Oh, Goddess. I was so ashamed. I felt like dying. I wish the floor I stepped on would open up and swallow me alive because I couldn’t bear the embarrassment. “Cora? What are you doing here?” asked Garret, who looked at me in surprise. “It’s not your turn to patrol tonight.” “They haven’t attacked again this afternoon, so I’m curious.” I looked around us so he wouldn’t see my eyes lying. There was no Maddox, so I was safe. There was only Garret and three soldiers. They played cards to ward

[Axel] I called many times, but Ryder did not respond. I felt him somewhere within me. It was the only sign I still had him. I did not get it. Why did he not answer my call? I did not feel any disappointment or anger in him toward me. So, why did he do this to me? I should have felt excruciating pain when Cora rejected me, the same pain when Rory did it. Ryder was the source that I could feel the agony because the rejection affected him. I hurt because he was hurt. I was incomplete without him. I was an Alpha because of him. If he was no longer mine, I did not wish to survive this life. I had no one, no home, nothing. Oh, Goddess. Why did I survive the assault? Why could I not join my parents in the afterlife? Someone interrupted my thoughts by knocking on the front door. I dragged my feet toward it and opened the door. A knuckle came fast to my face. Fortunately, I dodged it in time. I heard a growl, and someone tried to hit me again. Garret. Why did he strike me? “I told you to

“I, Cora Huxley, accept Axel Blackwood, Alpha of Scarlett Sky Pack, to be my mate,” she said without any doubt in her voice.“I, Axel Blackwood, accept Cora Huxley to be my mate,” I replied.Something powerful hit me when I finished my sentence. Cora looked at me expectantly, but she did not say any words. When she glanced at my lips, I knew we had the same urge. I did not hold myself back. I was tired of holding back for days. So, I grabbed her and took what was mine.I kissed her lips and pressed her figure so hard on mine. My blood rushed, and my whole body came alive when we made contact. I was satisfied she kissed me back. We tried to take control over the other. I had no wolf. Yet, I was stronger than her. I was glad she did not give up and fight back. Oh, Goddess. I like it. I had a strong will mate.She pulled the hair at the back of my head, forcing me to end our kiss. “Mine,” she said before biting my neck carefully. Oh, she wanted to make a mark for people to see. Bad girl.

[Axel] I did not see other leaders in the assault, only Devon. There was no way other alphas would take sides with him. The eight packs in this kingdom took oath every five years to keep peace in this land. We hated war and avoided it as much as possible. What did Devon want? Why did he start the war? He was not doing all this to steal Rory from me. It might be something more important that he was after. He did not use Rory, but they might do this together. One thing that was so hard to digest was why humans were involved in this matter. No, it was not a war. One or two people destroyed my pack and left no one alive. They sent some rogues to hold the contest to ensure I was dead. Could it be someone wanted us to be gone forever? I looked at Cora’s house and guessed which one was her bedroom window. I hoped she slept well and maybe dreamed about me. Thinking about her made my body shiver. I wanted her again. I needed to feel her lips on mine. I had to think about it. I believed her
