Sasha… Claire had met her in her last life just after her father’s death. Liam had thought it would be the perfect time to cheat on her while she was at her father’s funeral, grieving for the only parent she had ever known. As always, Sebastian had been there to support her and when the pain from Liam banging another woman hit, she fainted in his arms. Unable to face Liam after what he did, she had accepted Sebastian’s offer to take her to his pack, and that was when she met Sasha for the first time. Claire had stayed there for a while until she stupidly decided she still loved Liam and Sebastian, the loving idiot he was, accepted her decision. He threatened Liam to never hurt her again and send her back to him, not knowing it was to her doom. Well, thinking back to Sasha, she had never liked Claire from the day she stepped into the Silver fall pack. Maybe she already knew Claire was Sebastian’s mate and hated her even before they ever met. Claire remembered the time when she had

Seeing Sebastian right in front of her, Claire took a deep breath. His words still resonated inside her head, and she wanted to burst into tears at the thought of him suspecting her. But she didn’t want to let him know she was hurt because of him. He didn’t deserve to feel as if he had caused her pain when he did nothing wrong. It was just her past self that was pampered by Sebastian that couldn’t take the distance he put between them now. It was not his fault that he hadn’t lived the nightmarish life she once had and hence didn’t know her as much as she did him. She should just give him time.Trying to hide how upset she really was, she forced a smile on her face.“It’s time for dinner,” she said in a cheerful tone and tried not to wince at the high pitch of her voice. It sounded so fake!Sebastian frowned at her, wondering how she was back this soon when she had just gone with Liam. Didn’t she say she wanted to have a walk? So where was that annoying brat now? Did he ditch her? Thou

Liam grumbled under his breath as he got out of the Alpha’s office, his entire body taut with frustration. That damn Sebastian just had to run his big mouth and ruin everything!Why did that annoying man keep coming back here? First, he was spending all his time with his prey Claire, and now he was poking his head into matters that were not his concern. He was such a pain in the ass! Liam walked angrily towards his room, all the while cursing Sebastian. When that did little to help with his frustration, he fisted his hands tightly and punched on the wall while letting out a yell that sounded like a war cry. He turned to check if anyone had witnessed his tantrum and after making sure there was no one in the corridor; he continued walking to his room. Liam opened the door before running his hands through his hair in frustration and slamming the door shut behind him. He stomped inside, only to pause when he saw the person sitting on his bed as if they owned the place. His entire body

The next morning, Diana walked towards Claire's room, her eyes full of disdain and anger. Liam had decided last night that they needed Claire to mark him as soon as possible. Since he didn't want to appear desperate and cause suspicion, he instructed Diana to do the job for him. He had assigned her the task of acting as the doting best friend to Claire and to urge her to mark Liam for her wellbeing. To tell her how she was lucky to have found Liam and how they made a perfect couple. And that marking him will complete their bond, making Claire the luckiest woman in the pack. All this rehearsed speech frustrated Diana, who felt nauseous at the thought of demanding another woman to mark her damn mate. Not only did she have to watch a stupid bitch being all over her mate, but now she had to convince that damn bimbo to mark him, too. What all should she suffer to get the luna position she dreamed of? She swore to herself that she will make Claire suffer tenfold of what she now did one day

Diana looked at Devin with wide eyes, unable to believe his words. Did he just ask her for a fight? Granted, she was good, but she wasn’t that good that she could best an alpha wolf! If she tried to fight him, there was no way she was ever going to win. Why would he even want to fight her anyway? Diana gulped hard, her heart beating crazily at the idea of fighting Devin. She didn’t have a death wish to attempt fighting an alpha wolf. Even if it was a friendly match, if their wolves take control during their fight, they will show no restraints. She will end up getting her ass handed over to her and Diana had no plans to accept such a fate. Hell no. She liked her gorgeous body without any scratches! Diana shook her head, gathering her courage to say no. It may have conflicted with her nice girl act to say no to his demands, but her life was more important than putting on an act. She would just act shy or scared and he will have to forgive her for saying no to him. She just has to escap
