"Elara, I want you to move in here and stay with me," My mother said to me with a sweet smile.

We were having chit-chat on a balcony in her and Alpha Gray's bedroom.

Since it was the head Alpha's room, it was the biggest room in the house and arranged in traditional design.

I was stunned when I heard my mother. How could I stay in the pack house?

"I know you love your dad more than me. But I want to be selfish now. I want my daughter to stay with me," she said, holding my hand.

I stared at her. 'Mom, you never wanted me to be with you. How could you say I did not love you like dad?'

I want to ask her many things. But nothing came out of my mouth. I kept quiet. My head was down, and I was in distinct thoughts.

"I am telling you something, Elara. Where are you lost?"

I sighed and replied, "Mom, I can't stay with you."

I lifted my gaze and fixed it with hers. "Mom, this family is yours. I know Alpha Gray is a really kind man. But I don't need anything from him. I don't want anything from

  • I Claim You, Mate   Chapter 62

    "If you don't want to die, just lie down and shut your mouth before anyone hears you. Who told you to go to that beast and provoke him?" Suddenly, a different voice cut through.I could tell it might be Roy's closest friend, giving him advice to calm down.Their voices were loud because they were in the first cabin near the gate.I ignored their voices and walked forward.​Julia helped me settle into bed and then closed the blinds."I am calling a nurse. Wait here, okay?" Julia asked.I gave her an assuring nod. She left to call for a nurse for me.Sitting on the bed, I was thinking about what Roy was saying.Kevin still loved his ex-girlfriend. I felt bad that someone loved someone even after many years of breakup, yet he did not find anyone who could love him with that passion.But one thing was clear today. Kevin could never change his aggressive nature. If he was in anger, he could kill anyone.‘Why am I thinking about him? He helped me, so I just tried to help him to stop him fro

    Kevin paused his hand in midair when I held his arm.The cheers stopped.I did not know what happened to Kevin or why he was beating his rival's team's captain, but I did not want him to kill someone.I was aware that no one would dare to stop him. But someone would have to stop him from taking the boy's life."Kevin, please stop," I said, trying to make him understand the situation.But he was so angry that he did not see what was going on.Kevin yanked his arm away from his grip without looking at me. The sudden yank felt like a push to me.My eyes widened as I fell on the ground by the hard push. I hissed when I felt pain in my knees.The cheers, which stopped a while ago, roared again.I immediately turned my head and saw Kevin punching the boy's nose hard. The boy's nose broke as blood gushed out of it. Almost instantly the boy passed out in pain.I stared at the boy with shocked eyes. The way Kevin beat him was inhumane.'How could he be so brutal?' I thought, staring at the boy

    I was stunned. What did he mean by that? When did I smile at anyone? Did he mean Trevor?‘When did I smile at him?’ I thought.I blinked and slowly turned my head to look at him because I was confused by his words.When my head turned, his nose brushed against mine. The cold tip of his nose sent shivers down my spine.I froze in that state.He observed me and my expression. His eyes slowly moved to my lips.The reflection of the kiss on the party night came to my mind.It hit me like a flashback, and I immediately pushed my hands against Kevin's chest.Kevin was taken aback by my action. He looked down at his chest where I pushed him, then shifted his gaze to look at me.I gulped, feeling scared that my push would get him angry."S-Sorry, I was just in daze," I mumbled.I did not know what was wrong with me. Why did I keep thinking about that kiss? That kiss did not mean anything. It was just a dare in a bet.Suddenly Kevin raised his hand, which caused me to shut my eyes in fear.I f

    Trevor's gaze remained fixed ahead. He did not turn when I asked him the question. His face was cold.He was wearing a black t-shirt today with a pair of black jeans. His muscles were showcasing well through his short sleeves.I blinked away from him. It looked like he went to the gym. His body was like his brother.I felt a gaze on me. I shifted my gaze to Kevin, who was glaring at Trevor.His eyes were blazing with fury as if Trevor had done some sin.Although people were scared of Kevin's aggression, I felt he looked kind of hot on it.'Wait a minute! Why does he look mad? Does he have a fight with his brother?' I wondered.Trevor turned his head to me and noticed me looking at Kevin."Do you come to classes to stare at boys?"I heard Trevor's voice. His cold voice bothered me. I recalled how he refused to help me yesterday.I had nothing to do with him.I turned my head and looked at him. His cold gaze met mine.I trembled inside at that sharp gaze. However, I did not let him know

    I was surprised when I heard Bella. My eyes were on Kevin. His gaze shifted from Bella and fell on me.I blinked, looking away. I turned to Bella and asked,"What do you mean?"Bella gave Kevin a look and replied to me, "This crazy boy pulled me out of my room last night and told me that I should stay in this room. Because you will feel alone and that Stella is gone."I slowly turned to Kevin. He was still looking at me. I could not help but think, 'Once again he helped me! So he was the one who made Stella get out of the dorm.'I gave Kevin a genuine smile. "Thanks, Kevin."Kevin's face was calm. He gave me a nod and replied, "You needed a new roommate anyway. So I told her to stay here.""Yeah, yeah, sure," Bella said, rolling her eyes, then continued to do what she was doing.I helped Bella arrange her clothes. Kevin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then I am leaving."I was busy helping Bella, so it was Bella who turned her head to him and said,"Then what are you waiting for, br

    Elara's POVThe sky was brightened up. I was staring at the beautiful view with a smile.I did not know why, but I was very relaxed today. It was as if something good was going to happen."Morning, babe," Julia's voice came to my ears.I turned around from the window and saw her opening her eyes. She looked like she had a good sleep too."Good morning, Julia."She blinked her eyes and looked at me. Seeing my smile, she sat up and rubbed her eyes."So happy? Did Kevin Kingston come to your dream last night?"Her question stunned me. My smile washed away. I hurriedly went to the bed and threw a pillow to her."You!"She laughed hard, blocking the pillow. She wiggled her brows and said,"Don't forget I already saw the video where you were hugging him like this," she said, using her hands to act like hugging something.I pointed my finger at her. "Julia! How many times have I told you, nothing is like what it's showing? We are step siblings!"Julia waved her hand to discard me and walked
