Claire’s POVAs soon as I consent, I feel like I’m floating away.I'm floating, as if I'm weightless, massless, and transparent. I see the field, Liam vs. Alex. Alex is stalking Liam. I can’t watch and close my eyes.“Claire,” I look behind me and see my father talking. “Hello, my beautiful daughter. We need to talk.”I float over to him, looking him up and down. He is my age, just a pup himself. But I remember he died at 19, killed in a challenge by my Daddy.“Alpha Devon,” I said, sitting next to him.“I guess I deserve that, you have a daddy, and a good one, I chose well.”“Chose??” I ask, almost screaming.“Claire, when I mated to your mother, I was so happy, she was the most beautiful she-wolf I had ever seen. I overlooked the fact that she was, well, is a complete idiot. We signed the agreement with the Vampires before you were born. When I didn’t realize you would mean so much to me. Once you were born, I knew I needed to protect you. If that meant dying, well, so be it. My litt
Nic’s POVI see Alex, in wolf form, going in for the kill. I know my brother, he’s won! As Alex gets close, Liam reaches behind and wraps his arms around Alex’s wolf neck. The next thing we all hear is the cracking of Alex’s neck.I look over to give Claire a wink and see her unconscious on the ground.“MOM,” I screamed, rushing to Claire.“Oh, sweet goddess, what happened?” Mom bent down.Claire was breathing, only slightly. I looked at the field, Dad and the twins were carrying a clearly drugged Liam off the field.I carry Claire, the twins support Liam, and Dad deals with the Vamps.***********************************************William’s POV“Wolfbane?” I ask a smirking King Ralph.“I told him if he used it, he would die. Will your son survive?”“I won't know until the doctors have a look. Claire also lost consciousness.”“Sapphire? Is she alright?” King Ralph looked, actually, concerned.“Claire, her name is Claire. Her wolf’s color is Sapphire, the human half’s name is Claire.”
Liam’s POV“Daddy, she stole my favorite dress!” Nancy screams.“No, it’s mine, it doesn’t fit you anymore.” April yells back.“We are twins, we are the same size!”“Both of you hush, it’s mine now,” Alice yells.“All three of you, shut up,” Patty says.“Don't tell them what to do,” Alexis screams.Before I can even get a word out, all 16 of my daughters are screaming at each other.Isaac and Samson mindlinked me that they had the car running, if I wanted to escape. Yes, please.I back away, slowly, from the girls ages 10–19. Claire gave birth to Sara and Shanka a year after the boys, followed by 6 more sets of twins, one a year. What can I say, we are the reason my brothers thought that the mate bond was all about sex. Alice and Patty came as individuals. And if I’m honest, they are the more difficult two.“ENOUGH!” Claire Alpha commands. I love that about her. “Give me the dress.”She inspects it, sighs and then, rips it. The girls gasp.“Now, go get dressed for your cousin's Alpha C
This expansion is at the request of a reader, who wanted to know more about Cullen and Luke. They kinda get pushed to the side in the main story, but Cullen and his mate are big players in the squeal Mates Against All Odds and of course, in Alphas of Silver Creek. This is their story as told by them. We pick up right after Claire and Grace turn 17. Enjoy.April 2019Cullen’s POV“Hey Cullen,” A blonde smiles at me, as I walk down the junior hallway at school.“Hi, Cullen” Some redhead.More blondes and a couple brunettes all trying to get my attention. Not interested!“You look lost,” Mable DeMur, the sassier half to the DeMur twins.“Bored is not the same as lost,” I tell her.“Once you get to class you won’t be bored,” Maple isn’t like the rest the girls. She doesn’t flirt with me. She doesn’t try and touch me, flip her hair when talking to me, or treat me any different than the other guys in school.I’m the Alpha’s son, one of four; my older brother is Liam, then there’s Nic, th
Luke’s POV“Hi, Sable,” I say, seeing Mable and Sable standing in line. I have gotten her flowers.“Hi, Luke,” Sable blushes immediately. “Are you meeting someone?”“Yeah, I am, the prettiest Junior at Mountain Peak High School.“You brought flowers for your sister? I bet Nic is gonna be pissed,” Mable butts in. I glare at her.“The girl I am referring to has pale blue eyes, brown hair and when she pouts her forehead gets a line in it, just there,” I run my finger across the line in Sable's head.Sable finally smiles. “How did you know I would be here?”“I come here every Friday for the 7pm show with flowers, just praying you would show up. This week the goddess blessed me,” I hand her the flowers as she smiles.“Smooth,” Mable giggles. “Where is your psycho half?”“Most likely throwing knives behind the packhouse. You should find something to do, now that Sable has finally met me, I’m going to take full advantage,” I offer Sable my arm and she takes it.“See ya later, Mable,” Sable s
Cullen’s POVI’m throwing my knives and getting fancy a little. I do a front roll and throw, hitting the bullseye. I do an aerial and hit the bullseye again. I keep practicing tricks and I’m working up a sweat.“Hey, is that impressive,” I hear her voice and spin around.“Don’t sneak up on a man throwing knives,” I warn her.“Man? You sure about the man part?” Mable smirks.I smirk back, “Fine, guy. How did you find me?”“Luke told me where to look,” She pick up a steel dagger and throws it hitting the target. Just off the bullseye.“Stand here and try again,” I offer, moving out of her way.“Okay,” She picks up a silver blade and drops it.“Fuck, let me see,” I grab her hand and look at it.“It’s fine,” She tries to pull away.“Give me your damn hand,” I take it back and look. “We need to get you to the clinic.”“Why the hell do you have sliver blades?” She asks me, as I start to drag her toward the clinic.“I’m immune,” I tell her.“It really hurts,” She slows down.She must have gr
Luna Anna’s POV“Don’t speak to me right now,” I tell William. I’m losing all of my children!Liam is under the spell of that Slut! Yes, I know she is my daughter’s best friend, but I also know she is a total SLUT!Nic is all into BDSM, but claims he is in love with Claire.Claire, whatever the goddess has planned for her, I can’t fathom. The girl has been through it. Losing both parents, gaining four brothers, having one be Nic. She tries to keep him at bay, but he is becoming more and more aggressive.Thankfully, they will be apart most of the next year. Thankfully!Then, there are my twins. My last hope of decency. And it looks like I might be losing them as well.“Hello parents,” Luke is smiling too much to have been with friends.“Son, you may want to check on your brother, he had a rough night,” William tells Luke.“What happened?” Luke looks panicked.“Mable DeMur happened. She came up to him while he was throwing and touched a sliver blade with wolfsbane on it,” I say, then I
Cullen’s POV“Sable didn’t want to kiss me,” Luke tells me, when we are behind our door. “I think this whole thing was a set up for Mable to go out with you.”I give him a rare smirk.“She told me it was,” I tell him.“Dude, did you score?” He asks.“She is in the hospital,” I look at him like he is crazy.“You fucked her into the hospital?” Luke smiles. “Was the dagger and shit the cover?”“What in the hell is wrong with you? How are we twins? Seriously? NO.” I really want to punch him in the face.“I mean, it would be a good cover,” Luke smirks.“She and I are going to be secretly dating,” I tell him.“DUUUUDE! Are you for real? I mean, that is great for you. Are you going to score?” He asks me.“Can you get your mind out of gutter for three minutes?” I hit him with the heel of my hand.“I’m horny. Sable has me all worked up,” Luke goes and lays on his bed. “We should have our own rooms like Liam, Nic and Claire.”“Agreed. We should ask Dad tomorrow,” I also lay down.“They treat us
