Ninety-One: Lana
Lana's P.O.V.
Everything about the world was completely different than what I knew and how I had previously experienced it. The Earth was softer, sinking beneath my paws with each step I took. The trees smelled stronger and sweeter, and the air was crisper.
It was like I had entered a new universe. Nothing was the same as before, but it was even more beautiful. I could see why the wolves enjoyed the wilderness. The life surrounding them and the clean air felt invigorating.
We had started out slow, jogging along the border of the houses, staying close to the center of the community. Several wolves had joined us at first But as we continued on, they dropped off one by one, giving us our privacy, and probably getting bored by our small and repetitive circle.
But for me, it was more exciting each time. I would notice new things with each lap. New smells, sounds, colors. It was incredible.
'How are you feeling, my mate?' O

Lana's P.O.V. Oliver's muscles tensed as he stared down at me, his beast at the surface but patiently waiting. It was as if he were holding his breath in anticipation. "Do you?" I asked again, stepping up on my toes to get closer to him. Oliver lowered himself, his hands landing on my hips, giving me full access to the area where I would mark him. I brushed my lips along the skin, feeling a primal urge coming forward, trying to compel me to bite down into his soft flesh and claim him as mine. "Lana," He growled, his fingertips digging into my hips. "Don't tease me. I don't think you understand how long I have waited for this moment. I want to be yours as much as you are mine." I pulled back, glancing up at his eyes, amazed at their beauty as they shifted from black to forest green. My hand moved up to grab the back of his head. "You are mine," I whispered as I pulled his face down, capturing his lips. Oliver slid his hands from my hips to the back of my thighs, lifting me from the
The Wolf's Claim Ninety-Three: Lana
Lana's P.O.V. I couldn't stop smiling. All morning I was grinning like a Cheshire cat. It all started when I woke with my face on Oliver's shoulder. The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes, was my claim on his skin. The irritated flesh topped by the silver scar tissue of my mark had me almost purring with giddiness. I knew wolf customs would be different than human customs, and while they were unfamiliar to me, this one felt as if we had just gotten married. The excitement of the honeymoon phase had butterflies in my chest. As Oliver walked with a smile rivaling the size of mine and his chin high, I knew he was just as happy. Each time we passed someone on our way to the kitchen and they offered us a smile or a knowing nod, his back seemed to straighten even more with pride, and he would gently squeeze my hand. It was one of the most adorable things I had ever seen him do. Knowing he was excited about having my mark on him
The Wolf's Claim Ninety-Four: Oliver
Oliver's P.O.V.My teeth ground together as I stared ahead at Parker."It's for you," Parker mouthed silently as he raised his eyebrows and glanced pointedly at the phone. I had been excited to request my position as a warrior back. I wanted to start training again, even if it was within the center of the pack land and not out on the training field with the rest of my people.Instead, I was the butt of Parker's joke as I entered his office right as Alpha Jones of the Mountain pack called. I froze in panic as he gestured for me to have a seat and announced my presence for Alpha Jones to hear. The smug look on his face told me that he was getting even for one of the other times I was a sarcastic ass to him.The knowing smirk on his face made me want to smash the phone on the desk into pieces. But like the obedient subordinate I was, I sat back and fought the urge to destroy his personal property."You're the worst," I mouthed back, c
The Wolf's Claim Ninety-Five: Lana
Lana's P.O.V. I was livid. The aches in my body were appearing as quickly as they were healing. Each time I thought I had the upper hand, I was wrong. Aspen was too quick. She had me doing the same moves over and over, not letting me move on until they were perfect. Maddie had long ago grown bored and was inside with Oliver relaxing or playing. I wasn't sure which one, but I would rather be inside with them than getting my ass kicked. We hadn't gotten past the basics of self-defense, according to Aspen, but she wouldn't move past it until she felt I had mastered them. I had never seen this side of her before. It was shocking to see the change from a sarcastic and feisty woman to an emotionless warrior. Oliver had been right. She was unstoppable. I wanted to learn everything I could from her. A groan left my mouth as I was thrown onto my back, the soft grass doing nothing to cushion my fall. The power and strength of the she-wolf before me were unlike anything I had ever imagined
The Wolf's Claim Ninety-Six: Oliver
Oliver's P.O.V. My hands tightened into fists as I approached the large, reinforced yet rusted door of the dungeon. The last time I had been here, I was the one in chains. Adeline had been staying with us at the time. She had come to us when Kaylee had been kidnapped by those fucking vampires. As the mother of his child, she asked for help, and we gave it. Only it drove my mother crazy, watching my father trail after Adeline like a lost puppy. They spent hours every day and night together laughing, bonding, and trying to find new ways to locate Kaylee. In the end, they failed at finding her and simultaneously managed to drive my mother insane. She watched for years as my father openly loved Adeline and fought the accusations anytime their relationship was questioned. He claimed they were just best friends, and I tried to see it his way. I truly did give him the benefit of the doubt. But when my mother snapped and made a desperate attempt to get Kaylee and Adeline out of our life
The Wolf's Claim Ninety-Seven: Lana
Lana's P.O.V.There was an unreasonable amount of disappointment in me when I woke up alone. Oliver was going to have to work. I knew that, but waking up to my mate placing kisses on my shoulder or cuddling with me was something that I had grown spoiled by.We were apart during the day, but at night and in the mornings we made a point to spend time together.Having him gone when I woke was equally upsetting as it was a pleasant surprise.When I had been with James, I would get up before him and make him breakfast, lay out his uniform, and then stay out of his way while he got ready. On the days when I woke up, and he had left early from an early call-in, I was ecstatic. I would always start my morning knowing it was going to be a good day until he got home from work.Going from a relationship where I was relieved to be alone, to one where I was disappointed he wasn't there made me happy. It only confirmed that this was where I was
The Wolf's Claim Ninety-Eight: Oliver
Oliver's P.O.V. 'She's being taken to the pack house,' one of my pack members informed me as I watched Lana with a sharp eye. She was clearly in shock, and I wasn't sure what to do to help her. Lana didn't move as I licked her side, cleaning her injuries and watching as the skin began to stitch itself back together. She was like a statue as she continued to stare at the young boy on the ground. I stepped in front of her and put my head under her chin, lifting her until she could no longer see the body. It was then that she allowed me to guide her back to the pack house. Guards were posted around the floor, and the majority of the kids were in the safe room. It wasn't hard to find Maddie. I could hear her crying as soon as I approached the pack house. She was in the kitchen, terrified. Her sobbing pulled at my heart, but I knew she was safe and being taken care of. Her little footsteps could be heard running our way, a
The Wolf's Claim Ninety-Nine: Lana
Lana's P.O.V I couldn't say how long we had stayed under the spray of the water before I had calmed. It took a while for my body to stop trembling and even longer for me to form a thought. Maddie would be fine. Her fear of me might take time, but that was something that could be addressed. My memory of the wolf shifting back to a teenage boy could too. But for the moment, I didn't want to have to deal with any of that. The idea that I would have to push aside my thoughts and feelings to comfort my daughter was something I was willing to do, but for the next few minutes, I didn't want to. I wanted to grieve and put myself first for once in my life. "What happened?" I asked Oliver as I continued to stare at the grout line between the shower tiles. I couldn't pull my eyes away. I could barely manage to blink as the water continued to hit our legs wastefully. "It was the same tactic as before. They sent in
