"He doesn't love me. He wants to leave. Why? Why does everyone always leave? What is wrong with me? With us? Are we really unworthy of being loved?"Clarisse rolled her eyes trying to downplay it. She felt the anguish, the fear, the sadness her other personality was feeling. Even though she didn't want to involve herself in her affairs, they shared the same body. Their feelings were bound to be intertwined. But, she could understand that although she felt that way, those weren't really her feelings. Clarissa's thoughts weren't hers. Neither were her fears. She was a beautiful, intelligent woman who every man wanted. It was her decision whether she would accept or reject them. Not the other way around."So what? There are many men out there. If one doesn't like you, you can alw

                    Reed had decided to take the pack for a run because everyone was tense and on edge. Eris's accusation had them all walking on eggshells around him. He was known for his ruthlessness when executing an order and maybe his temper got out of hand once in a while but he'd never intentionally harmed a pack member. However, he didn't tolerate disrespect. There were rules that governed a pack and kept peace among them. The first one was respecting the hierarchy. In that aspect, he was at the top, the decision maker. He decided what was good for everyone therefore, rules or no rules, they all had to respect him. Making baseless accusations wasn't something anyone could get away with. Maybe he'd been too lax of late that they thought they could speak to him however they wanted. He understood that Eris was mourning the death of her friend but she had no right to snap at him. The only reason he let it pass was be

He smirked, lifting one side of his mouth smugly and Clarisse itched to smack him. She hadn't meant to say that. Didn't know why she had felt so angry seeing Lyndra close to him. Was there a possibility everything he'd told her earlier was actually true? A werewolf? It never crossed her mind even once. She thought her strength came from... Well, she hadn't thought about it. Just like how people didn't question why they were thirsty or hungry. It was natural to need food and water. Her strength was the same. It had been there since she was young and it was part of her. However, if she was looking for an explanation, that would do it. Combined with the fact that she'd never been sick.   While other kids had gotten colds or stomach upsets, she had always been fine. There were times her hearing was better than others and her instincts accurate. Those happened once in a while so she didn't think about the whys or hows. If it was true she a werewolf... Reed

"Breathe" she told herself leaning on the door. This mate bond was really messing with her. It had to be it because the way she felt couldn't be attributed to anything, not even her own feelings. She wanted to be in his presence all day and night, wanted to feel his touch and snapped at any woman who tried to come close to him. When they came to visit, they'd stand at the foot of the bed as per her instructions. She'd told them any close contact might lead to an infection but they all knew she was only being territorial.  Females were not allowed to go near him especially when she was around. And who in their right mind would allow another woman to snatch that man from her? She'd almost had an orgasm from a kiss alone. Even though she had never been with anyone, Clarisse was more in tune with her body than ever before. Maybe being a werewolf had heightened everything. Including the way her body reacted. She thought of going back to his room and asking him to finish what

               "Damn it, why didn't you stop her?"  "She told me to stand down"  Reed rounded on Elliot, thundering "And you listened to her? She is a newly turned wolf. Who knows where those witches are taking her?" What if the king... No. He couldn't play the what if game right now. He needed to find her. Maybe he should have explained how the other witches, the ones who raised her looked like. Otherwise she wouldn't have gone with them so easily. Damn it!  "She used the Alpha directive on me"  "What?"  "I couldn't do anything"  "When did she learn how to use it?" He hadn't taught her and there was no way she knew how to use it on her own. Besides, she didn't have a pack yet. Only when an Alpha took over the position could they use the directive. She didn't even know she was one. How could she use it? There was no way "Are you sure?"  "Ordinary wolves
