Nineteen: Lana
Lana's P.O.V.
My cheeks burned as he stared at me.
The longer we sat there, the more comfortable I felt with him. I still knew nothing about him, but I wanted to. I wanted to discover this new world that I had been blind to all these years, and I wanted to know more about the man that my daughter and I both felt such a deep connection to.
My hands clasped together in my lap as I tossed around where to begin before settling on the beginning.
"Why were you hurt when you first showed up here? What happened?" I glanced over his exposed chest, my eyebrows pulling together in concern as I looked over the scars covering his body.
"Can I give the short version?" The way his head tilted to the side made the deep green of his eyes look lighter than before. I couldn't help it as my gaze traveled from them, over his tanned cheeks and to his perfect lips, remembering the way they had felt in my dreams each night as he ran them over my body

The Wolf's Claim Twenty: Oliver
Oliver's P.O.V. Having her so close and not being able to touch her was torture. All evening she made a point of avoiding any physical contact with me. It almost made me want to go back to the way things were before she knew the truth. A week ago, she would run her fingers through my fur or pat my head as she walked by. Now, there was an invisible barrier surrounding me, and she made a point to stay at least three feet away at all times. It was an impressive feat, given the limited amount of space in the house. When she was cooking dinner, I couldn't help myself any longer after not having contact with her for so long and rubbed my head and shoulder against the back of her leg, making her jump. She sent me a glare to knock it off, and I tried not to laugh, letting out a choking, snort sound until she turned and set down a dog bowl of food, sending me a smirk with a sarcastic, 'good doggie'. This resulted in a lot of attention and love
The Wolf's Claim Twenty-One: Lana
Lana's P.O.V. It felt so good to have him hold me in real life. The bliss I felt in my dreams was nothing compared to the way he felt, and how he made everything in my mind go quiet. His skin was warmer than what I would figure to be normal, and his heart was beating fast as I placed my ear and cheek on his chest. I had to wonder if I was having an effect on him too, or if it was due to him being a shifter and his body working differently than humans' did. I knew I was being stupid, cuddling up to a man I didn't know very well, but the bond he kept mentioning was very much there. It pulled like a rubber band whenever I walked away from him, and when I was close to him, the world grew brighter, and my senses were brought to life. Everything tasted better, smelled better, and felt better. A single touch from him had sparks running across my skin and butterflies swarming in my stomach. I wanted to know what it would be like to taste him
The Wolf's Claim Twenty-Two: Oliver
Oliver's P.O.V.I could smell them as soon as I stepped outside. They were too close for comfort. The putrid smell of the rogues encroaching on my territory was something I wasn't going to let slide. Especially with my family such a short distance away.Lana was finally opening up to me, and I wasn't going to let anyone get in between us. Her laughter tonight was so pure and relaxed. It was the first time I had heard it sound like that, and I wanted more. I wanted her to talk to me about everything. Sitting outside the past week and listening to the stress, frustration, and sadness in her voice was torture. But now, she sounded like herself, like the woman who had taken me in to heal me.Hearing the lock on the door close behind me, I stormed off toward to tree line. The sooner I could get this done, the sooner I could come home. I had lost one mate before even meeting her. There was no way in Hell that I would let anything happen
The Wolf's Claim Twenty-Three: Lana
Lana's P.O.V. I woke up significantly earlier than I had intended, but as soon as my mind started to rejoin reality, all I could think about was Oliver.I hadn't laughed that much since I was a teenager. I was twenty-five. Yet, until last night, I felt like I was fifty.But, he was outside protecting us and working while I slept in my comfortable bed. It didn't seem fair. As soon as I was conscious enough, I pulled myself out of my bed and made my way to the living room.The pull to him told me that he was right on the other side of the door, but I still glanced out the window first. Guilt wracked through me as I watched him tremble with the cold while he slept, curled up in a ball. His brown-furred ear twitched before his beautiful green eyes opened and met mine.I couldn't help the smile that graced my lips as he climbed to his feet. The sun had yet to rise, and as I opened the door, that cold night's air wafted into the room, s
The Wolf's Claim Twenty-Four: Oliver
Oliver's P.O.V. The bathroom door did nothing to hide the way Lana smelled. I hoped she wouldn't be turned off by me flirting with her so soon after she let me back into her life, but I had also wanted nothing more than to make a move… to let her know that I was interested. Scaring her away with my comments seemed to be one thing I didn't need to worry about. I didn't even need to see the pink flush on her skin or the dilation in her eyes. The second I got out of the shower, I could smell her arousal. It was the best scent I had ever come across, and if she'd let me I would drop down to my knees and taste it. She wasn't ready for that, but as soon as she was, it would happen. As I stood at the entry to the hallway, I could smell her desire thickening as she scanned me over. My muscles coiled, and I did everything I could to hold myself back, but the small whimper that left her throat as she stared at me had me losing control.
The Wolf's Claim Twenty-Five: Lana
Lana's P.O.VI felt out of my mind with pleasure. Part of me was screaming that I needed to stop, but the more dominant impulse demanded that we continue. I didn't want him grabbing my breast over my tank top. I wanted his rough and warm palm cupping my bare skin as he pinched, rolled, and sucked on my nipple.His cock pulsed against my clit, and I cursed the fabric between us.A confidence that I hadn't ever experienced before took over, and I reached down.Oliver pulled back slightly, a look of torment in his eyes as he separated from me but still held me up.I pushed the fabric to the side, tightening my legs around his waist to pull him back to me. His cock was large and hard still as I slid the tip of it between my lips until his entire shaft was laying against my pussy, sliding in the wetness he caused.I tightened my hold on him with my fingers laced through the short hairs on the back of his neck as I kissed him, bit
The Wolf's Claim Twenty-Six: Lana
Lana's P.O.V.After a race to my bedroom to change clothes, I couldn't help but feel like a giddy teenager all over again. It was like when James and I had first started dating in high school... but so much better. I had never felt it this intense before.Everything with James was smooth, easy, and comfortable. I thought I loved him, and we got married right out of high school against my parent's wishes. Right away, the romance died. Within a year, the abuse started.I had been working as a personal assistant at the time, trying to stay busy even though James wanted me to be a housewife.It was when my boss would call me after working hours that James started getting angry. He didn't like that my male boss thought he had access to me twenty-four hours a day. He especially didn't like it when those calls would result in me leaving the house to bring my boss one thing or another.He would accuse me of cheating. The talking turned to
The Wolf's Claim Twenty-Seven: Oliver
Oliver's P.O.V.With our bond stronger than before, I was getting small amounts of her emotions coming through. It was just enough that I could tell she was worrying and even panicking a little, but it wasn't consistent enough for me to understand what was going on in her head.I wanted to comfort her, but I was exhausted. The most I could do was move to lay on the floor by her legs as she read a book to Maddie, resting my jaw on the top of her foot.Every so often, I would regain consciousness, listen for a minute and take in a deep inhale to check for anything nearby, then fall back asleep. It wasn't until they were cooking dinner that I started to fully wake up.When I had been training with my pack and even when I had been out running on my own after I left, I had never reached this level of exhaustion. Yet, I had little to no desire to sleep when my girls were nearby until today.My drive and need to protect them were stronger
