Isabelle lies across Dane's chest, stroking the hairs on his chest. Sometimes, she would give it a little tug which made Dane frown his face in displeasure. But that displeasure soon turned into a smile.He gazed at his beautiful mate. She had come willingly to him and given herself to him. He never thought she'd do considering how proud she was. He knew the request she asked of him would be no simple one because she would have sent a note or a maid but she chose to come herself which shows the gravity of the situation.Who dares hurt or threatens his mate will lose an eye or a limb he swore in his heart.She looked up at him as he accessed her features closely. She was a beautiful woman who knew how to get what she wanted. And this time she needed his help. He'd go miles to help her. His worry right now was she hadn't said anything about accepting him or not. He did not want to push it. But it was killing him inside to know if she would.Her words jolted him out of his thoughts."W
Claire got up from her sleep-long position which was not a sleeping position. She massaged her aching neck and stretched her limbs to get the blood flowing back into it again. She had slept off while reading the book. She sneezed as she caught a chill. The night sky was dark outside which meant she slept off for some hours. She stood up and walked into the library, closing the balcony doors behind her. She didn't know how or when she had slept. She was normally a light sleeper. But she guessed she had expected nothing to happen to her and had become comfortable in this place.A splitting headache overcame her as she dropped the book to the floor which made a loud thud in the silent library. She clutched her head in her hands as memories she had no recollection of started appearing before her eyes. She fell to the ground as she breathed heavily, the pain slowly subsiding. What was that? She thought. She didn't know where those memories came from. Is it from the present or the past?
Alpha Alexander looked at the files which were stacked up against one another on his office table. His mind hadn't stopped drifting to his mate. He has been gone for a day avoiding her like a plague.He knew she was insane but he couldn't bring himself to show weakness like his father. And what did that earn his father? Heartbreak and agony.He missed her, he just wanted to hold her in his arms and rub his scent all over her to ward off unmated males in his territory. Not like anyone would dare convert what belongs to him.He wasn't able to concentrate for more than five minutes before his mind went back to her. His wolf had stopped talking to him because of what he was doing to their mates. He knew he was cruel and she probably thought so. He had no way to let her in on his most traumatizing childhood experience on why he became dark-hearted. He checked the time and found out he hadn't had a wink in the past twenty-four hours. He had to see his mate. To make sure she was okay. And
"What do you mean you've never seen something like this?" Alexander asked with a hint of irritation and tiredness in his voice."I don't know sir. But she's supposed to be up for days now. Her temperature is down and all her vitals are in good condition." Another voice said. But Claire couldn't recognize the voice.One thing was sure. It belonged to a male. Who is he talking about? She opened her eyes softly and was met with a white ceiling. She blinked once, twice, and the white ceiling was still staring at her.Where was she? She was suddenly hit with the smell of disinfectant and she noticed a small beeping sound by her right. What happened to her? Why was she in the hospital? The last thing she remembered was that she had caught a small chill but that wasn't serious enough for her to be in the hospital.She tried to move her hand but found out they weighed tons like she was held down by lead. "She's awake!" She heard a female voice exclaim. She looked toward the sound of the vo
Isabelle lay on her bed, her body felt like it was on fire. Her dick head of a mate had used her to satisfy his needs without thinking about her.He had thought she enjoyed it because of the moans she faked at intervals. She wanted to satisfy him so he would not think twice about handing over the poison to her. With great difficulty, she stood up and went to the bathroom. Reaching there, she found the tub empty. She forgot she was now without a maid as she hissed in anger. Everything had turned sour for her the moment Claire stepped into the pack house. She rang for a maid in the kitchen who came up hurriedly after she barked a few orders at her.She washed up and got dressed. She wasn't in the mood to fill herself up like she usually does. Now wasn't the time to try to get Alexander's attention.She needed a maid badly. Someone who would help her carry out her evil plans, someone like her who wouldn't hesitate to kill someone. She noticed a particular maid throwing daggers in Cla
Claire and Alexander walked hand in hand, pack members stopping momentarily to greet them with lingering looks on Claire.She saw the confused looks on their faces. She couldn't blame them. Alpha Alexander hadn't introduced her as their Luna yet.But they could guess as much because his scent was all over her. She bent her head to the forest, ignoring all the piercing eyes on her. Some of them have her warm smiles but most of the females gave her a dagger look."They don't bite. Take up your head. You're their Luna and are above them in rank." Alexander said as he reassuringly squeezed her hands.She did as she was told, raising her head and meeting their gaze head-on. She realized it was hard as she expected. Her mind was only making a mountain out of a molehill.They finally reached the woods which were filled with dense trees.Alexander led her to a small clearing. She followed closely behind, sidestepping branches and twigs that could have given her a bruise."Show me your wolf."
"I'll get you checked up later. The doctor will know what to do. He said earlier he could not explain the reason you woke up late. Now that I think about it, it's because of your wolf. Don't worry, we'll get it sorted out." He said, playing with her hair which fell in graceful waves.Her heart soared when she heard the word 'we.' It means he's putting her into consideration. Although she knew nothing about him, she knew they were moving forward in their relationship. "Thank you." She said, which came from the deepest part of her heart. And she meant every word she said.It was nice having someone to share your problems and burdens with since she was used to handling her problems.Although she wouldn't want to bother Alexander about her wolf's condition, she couldn't refuse his help either.He took her up, standing up and stretching his aching muscles. He pulled off his shirt in one swift motion, without warning, showing off his tanned aba and chest."Ahhhhhh!" Claire screamed as she
"I'm sure you must have already made up for the smiles all over you." Elise teased as she made Claire's bed. Claire had been all smiles since she came back from the run with Alexander the day before. She was so happy they were on good terms. "He was so sweet and attentive towards me yesterday." Claire said with a bit of embarrassment.She hadn't talked about her love life to someone else, not like she had any, to begin with. But sharing intimate stuff like this with her maid only made the feeling inexplicable.She had a dreamy look on her face as she went over the events that took place the day before. Especially how he held her while he kissed her, holding her gently like a porcelain doll. She subconsciously touched her lips as she remembered the fireworks that went off in her after their lips collided. She couldn't help but smile again.Elise looked over at Claire who had a dreamy look and smiled. Her Luna was so adorable. "I told you Alpha Alexander had a heart of gold. Behind
