All Chapters of Claiming The Pack (Mated To The Night Book 2: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

I went with him, but my legs were numb as I walked, and my body felt drained. Dammit. I clenched my hands. How could things have gotten to this point? Troy was out there killing wolves, and we had no idea why or how to stop him. I felt useless and small, and I hated feeling that way. I wished I could be out there with them looking for Troy, but I knew I couldn’t risk the baby. All I could do was wait and hope this wouldn’t end in disaster.Chapter 16Bryn“I want to go to my mom’s,” I said as Jasper and I walked through the compound. The last place I wanted to be right now was the alpha cabin.“Sure, of course,” he said. His hands were in his pockets, and he hadn’t looked at me since we started walking. It sharply contrasted with how things had started—just before he revealed that Night had sent a killing squad after Troy.“Bryn, I feel awful about what happened back there.”“It’s fine,” I replied. But my tone was so flat, I wouldn’t have believed myself.He winced. “Still, it sucks t

Chapter 17NightDom and I went to the training grounds after Jasper and Bryn left. After I’d instructed a few wolves to let neighboring packs know what had happened to the small pack, Dom suggested we head to the training grounds to check out the competition I’d be facing during the alpha challenge. I thought it was a good idea to get my mind off things, but it was hard to focus on anything but the feral attack and the hurt on Bryn’s face.I should have told her, I cursed myself. I should have been a man about it and come clean. I’d fucked up with her again. I’d known it would eventually come up but hoped it would be on my terms and Bryn would be in a better place with the pregnancy. My not telling her had sent her into a borderline panic attack. The guilt burned like a brand searing into my chest.It sucked even more that Jasper had been the one to tell her. Bryn and I had claimed and mated each other, but jealousy lingered inside me. Jasper would never be stupid enough to try to ge

“We’re sorry to come here unannounced,” she said with a kind smile. “We were hoping to speak with your son.”The Granbys shifted from side to side. Cathy placed her hand on Adam’s shoulder and squeezed.“My son…isn’t well,” he said. “What could you possibly want to speak to him about?”“We want to ask him about what he saw that day,” she replied gently. We had no reason to lie to them. “Night and I are looking into the disappearances.”“Oh, but Samuel is…he’s such a delicate boy,” Cathy blurted, her fingers digging deeper into her husband’s shirt. “He could get hurt.” She paused, her eyes narrowing at me. “You could hurt him.”Her words didn’t offend me—I’d expected this pushback. I glanced at Bryn, and she nodded for me to speak.“I promise I won’t touch your son or make him talk if he doesn’t want to. All we want is to try to get to the bottom of what happened all those years ago. As far as we know, he’s the only witness.”“Forgive me for asking, but why do you care about missing Ki

I winced inwardly, remembering the hurt and anger radiating from Bryn during our argument. I needed to talk to her as soon as possible. “I appreciate that, Adam.”He nodded. There were another few moments of silence, and then he said, “You know, Night, I heard a rumor in the pack that our current alpha is pregnant.”Shock coursed through me, causing me to straighten. “Who’s saying that?”“I don’t know who started it, but not everyone believes it. It doesn’t matter one way or another to me, but if it is true…congratulations. There’s no greater gift than a child. It’s hard with Samuel sometimes, but I thank the Fates every day that he is still with me because I know not every father is lucky enough to say that. It’s important to always put your kids first and cherish every moment you have with them because they go so fast.”I wasn’t sure what to say to that, whether I ought to acknowledge it as the truth or play it off. It bothered me that there were rumors about Bryn spreading around t

“Bryn,” he sighed, kissing me slow and sweet. “You’re amazing.”I deepened the kiss, adjusting myself in his lap so I was straddling him. He moaned gently against my mouth, his grip tightening on my waist. I pushed his shirt over his head, and my hands took their time exploring every inch of his chest and back. His muscles were hard beneath my palms, his skin smooth but for the faint ridges of his scars.“Bryn,” he sighed again, sliding his hands under my shirt to caress my back.I let him take off my shirt, then reached down to his pants, slipping my hand under the waistband. He let out a purring growl as I stroked his growing erection. I loved his girth in my hand, the warmth of it. I wanted it inside me, but I also wanted to taste him. I slid down to my knees in front of him as he watched me with eyes that had turned almost black with desire.I ran my tongue up from the base of his cock to the tip, then back down. He held his lower lip between teeth that had grown slightly sharp si
