||Alpha Clayton||Raging, I slipped my hand into my pocket for my phone and dialed Alpha Wyatt immediately.“Desperation is a bad look on you, dear cousin.” he teased as soon as the line connected. The amusement in his tone didn't go unnoticed by me.His actions were cheap and showed how inexperienced he was. “I know you are new to being Alpha. Since you have no experience or come from a long line of alphas as I do, allow me to educate you. Your pack is small, barely called a pack. However, you are still in charge of your territory and you must respect Alphas who came before you.” “Cousin..”“I am not done talking,” I growled icily, using my alpha voice on him. It left no room for interruption.“Your bitterness and incompetence aren't my problem. Nonetheless, it has become mine. Your warriors are undertrained and disorganized. No, let me rephrase that, from the way I see it you are a danger to your pack than the rogues. You are sloppy. You can't even run a small pack how did you p
||Claire||It's been four days and I haven't set my eyes on Clayton. He just disappeared from my life. I know I told him I was not prepared for the mate thing but that doesn't mean I don't want him or care about him. He could have just given me a little more time to come to terms with it.“He gave you enough time Claire, how much more do you need? He may be an alpha but he has feelings too.” Hazel snapped at me. She has been irritated and on edge after Clayton left.She didn't say it out loud but I know she blamed me for Clayton's disappearance.“What happened to Prince fucking Charming?” Vivi asked.I passed her a half smile or tried to, just to show how unruffled I was about the whole ordeal.“You tell me, Vivi,” she crossed her arms and scrutinized me. I looked away as speedy as I could. I didn't know what she was searching for but she was more sharper than I gave her credit for.I had to come to terms that he was not coming back. A tiny part of me was glad that he didn't reject

|| Claire||Oh darn it! It is him. The same guy who was introduced as the Prince but a little older. Hahaha! This must be the joke of the year. I cracked up, laughing into his face as if finding out who he was, was a prank.He smirked at me watching me in amusement. I wanted to run. A huge part of me wanted to break into a furious gallop like a horse. “You are the prince!” I stated not expecting any reply. I gripped my stomach laughing hard. The Alpha Prince Clayton Wolke was my mate! It was like I was dreaming. I was frightened of who he was. I was daunted by his rank and his wealth. He was a freaking Lycan. A royal one at that. As if that was not enough, he was the fucking prince. The Alpha of Alphas. One of the strongest and wealthiest men in the kingdom. I was nothing compared to him. I really didn't see that coming. The moon goddess was cunning as ever and she outsmarted me yet again.This guy kept amazing me. I sought after a good guffaw since I couldn't find my tongue and s
||Claire||It was easy finding the washroom and I quickly used the water closet and washed my hands. I observed my appearance and noticed a few changes. The wrinkles under my eyes have disappeared and my hair looked more vibrant. My eyes were filled with light. They were no longer dull. I looked younger than I had been in the last four years and I knew who to thank. It was all Clayton. Finding him was like finding my inner peace and my source of oxygen. He brought not just me but my wolf, Hazel to life, and for the first time in years I thanked the moon goddess for not forgetting about me. And for bringing Clayton into my life.He was the sweetest man ever. He is patient, and kind. He was what every woman needs. I exited the powder room with a gentle smile on my face and instead of going to the movie room, I decided to go out for fresh air.The Moonstone Theatre was at the center of the city and in Silver City where all the elite families lived. I was sure Clayton lived around, in
||Clayton||“Roxanne, the defense minister's daughter,” she replied and I nearly tore her apart.Anger jerked in my body like hot flames and I slammed my fist on the table making her whimper.“What the hell!” I roared.Yes,!Roxy used to be my fucking buddy back in the days. She was not my girlfriend or anything but she went out telling people who she was to me and how much I loved and adored her. That pissed me off.Funny enough, I had never taken the girl on a date or kissed her on the lips. When we meet we just fuck. That was our routine for three years, that was after I turned eighteen.Roxy was wild and nothing but trouble. When she left Moonstone, I felt peace and I thanked the moon goddess for kicking her out of my life but now my parents are threatening to bring her back.Now that things are working out for me and I have found my goddess-sent mate. Claire… shit! What will she think if she finds out?“She will think nothing. That thing is your past and you ended things six year
||Clayton||I tore through the Wendigo attacking it. I bit him, punched him, and broke his bones every chance I got. The growling sound from both of us could be heard miles away but he wasn't a match for a lycan prince. I tore him apart in seconds. The smell of his decayed blood and body filled the air. I quickly shifted into my human part and sped to my mate. She lay on the dirty ground with her eyes closed and in her blood. Her neck was open and her ankle was bruised. I quickly shook her.“Claire, ““Claire,” her silence met my ears. My heart raced when she remained unresponsive. But the lucky thing was she was still breathing as her chest moved up and down.In haste, I carried her in my arms, bridal way, and mind-linked Casey to meet us outside with a blanket and to call the doctor.I broke into a run towards my Condo with my unconscious mate in my arms. Casey was pacing outside with the blanket and when we reached him, he threw the blanket over Claire. “I'll explain later,” I mi
||Claire||As I slowly began to wake up I felt the soft rays of sunlight fall on one side of my face. I stretched my limbs on the bed and my brain did a flip back and memories kicked in.The woods! The attack!! I was bitten! I jolted in a sitting position and my hands found my neck. The area was clear.There was no open wound. Just bare and healed as if last night didn't happen. I twisted my leg and ankle in a circular motion but all I felt was a sting.I never knew I could heal that fast. After the self-examination, my eyes finally cleared and that was when I realized I was not in the woods or my room.Clayton! This was his home and I could smell him every second I breathed. I looked around his room, scrutinizing every detail from his choice of color to furniture and other items. He had good taste and I didn't expect anything less. His room was grey with a sophisticated couch. “See who is finally awake!” His raspy voice greeted. My eyes widened as he opened the door and ambled in.
