CONNOR~

I was already halfway to the door when Mason stepped directly into my path.

“You’re not going.”

I stopped short and stared at him. The residual burn of whiskey still sat in my throat. My pulse was too high. The intel about Anastasia was still ringing in my ears.

“What?”

“You heard me,” Mason said. His voice stayed level, but there was no give in it. “You’re not going. Hudson and I will handle it.”

I almost laughed. The sound came out short and completely without humor. “You’re joking.”

  • My Fiance Cheated So I Claimed His Lycan Bosses    CIRCLING PIECES OF CONFESSIONS

    Claire~The words dropped heavily between us and I gulped hard. My hand was still against the side of her neck, gauze half-taped, and for a second I just stayed there like an idiot. First person after Connor. That was a heavy thing to drop on someone standing in a stranger’s kitchen in a ruined dress.But I have never been good at leaving a door closed once it opens.“What about your mom?” I asked. “You said she was Connor’s dad’s mistress. That make you his stepsister, or is that one of those messy pack technicalities nobody wants to explain out loud?”Anastasia actually laughed. She rolled her eyes like I had just told the worst joke in the building.“Mom?” she said. “She’s there, anyway. That is the nicest version I can give you without lying.”I swallowed. Something in the way she said it made my stomach tighten.“How do you mean?”“She does not deserve to be called a Mom, that is what I mean,” Anastasia said, there was no heat in it, which somehow made it worse. “She is just som

  • My Fiance Cheated So I Claimed His Lycan Bosses    SHE DOESN'T LIKE 'TOUCH'

    Claire~Anastasia pulled up in front of a modern high-rise that looked more like a quiet statement than a home. Glass, clean lines, warm lobby light leaking out onto the sidewalk. She parked, got out, and waited like she already knew I was going to have opinions.I climbed out after her and looked around. The street was too calm. No compound walls. No frozen guards. Just a regular expensive building.“Where is this?” I asked.“My place,” Anastasia said.I blinked. “Wait. What? Why would you bring me to your place?”She rolled her eyes and started walking toward the entrance. “Because it is the least obvious location anyone would check. I do not like sharing my apartment with people, Claire. I really do not. But I also do not have a choice, since this is Connor’s order.”“That is a terrible sales pitch,” I said, following her. “You just told me you don’t want me here and that I’m only here because your boss texted you through his brain. Super comforting.”“It is not supposed to be comf

  • My Fiance Cheated So I Claimed His Lycan Bosses    ANNOYING NOTHING

    CLAIRE~Before I could blink, Anastasia was already pulling me out of the room.Her hand closed around my upper arm—not hard enough to bruise, but firm enough that I didn’t get a vote. I stumbled once in the torn dress, caught myself, and tried to look back over my shoulder. The door was already swinging shut behind us.“Waiy, why—” I started.“You don’t want to see what happens in there,” Anastasia said without looking at me. Her voice was still rough, still carrying whatever fight she’d been through to reach me. “It’s better that way.”“And who says I don’t want to see it?” I shot back.She didn’t answer. She just kept walking, half-guiding, half-towing me down the corridor like the decision was already decided. My bare feet made soft sounds against the polished floor. The air outside the room felt colder. Like the building itself was trying to pretend the last hour hadn’t happened.We turned a corner and the main entrance hall opened up in front of us.I stopped walking so hard An

  • My Fiance Cheated So I Claimed His Lycan Bosses    EVER HEARD OF PACK LESS ALPHA?

    CLAIRE~ Tyler’s face sank.The color left it so fast it was almost impressive. One second he was still mid-speech about dignity and going home. The next second the phone call landed, and whatever he’d been trying to hold together cracked clean open.He rushed me at once, I wasn't expecting it. But Anastasia moved faster.She stepped directly into his path, pulled a gun from under her jacket in one clean motion, and pointed it at the center of his chest.“One more step,” she said, voice flat, “and I’ll fucking pull the trigger, you idiot.”Tyler halted so hard his shoes scraped the floor. His chest was heaving. His eyes were wide and wild and fixed on me like I was the one who’d personally set his house on fire.“What did you fucking do?” he snarled. “What did you do? My pack house being fucking demolished? It's that slimeball boyfriend of yours right, Claire? Call him. Right now.”I blinked once. Confusion flickered through me—Woodhills pack house was being demolished? The realizatio

  • My Fiance Cheated So I Claimed His Lycan Bosses    THIS SLIME BALL

    CLAIRE~It happened so fast I almost didn’t believe it was real.One second Morana was standing there with that cold little smile, still holding the threat of the video over all of us. The next second something in her face changed. She dropped whatever she’d been holding and It hit the floor with a dull sound. Then she was smoothing her dress, fixing the neckline, running a hand over her hair like she could erase the last ten minutes if she just looked put together enough.Anastasia watched her do it and smiled. It wasn’t a nice smile.“Pretending won’t help you,” Anastasia said. Her voice was still rough from whatever fight she’d already been through. “They’re going to find out everything the second this door opens. You can fix your dress all you want.”Morana turned to her. For the first time since I’d met her, she looked like someone calculating exit routes instead of having the upper hand.“How?” she asked. “How did they get here? And when?”Anastasia didn’t rush the answer. She l

  • My Fiance Cheated So I Claimed His Lycan Bosses    TEST THE THREAT

    CLAIRE~The voice over the speaker repeated again, rougher this time around, like whoever was talking had been running or fighting or both.“Stay where you are. The next person who touches that door gets dropped.”I froze with my hand still near the handle. My heart was hammering so hard I could feel it in my teeth. Then the lock clicked the other way and opened.Anastasia stood in the doorway.She looked wrecked. Her blazer was torn at the shoulder. There was a thin cut along her cheekbone and a darker bruise already forming near her temple. Her breathing was uneven, like she had just fought her way through more than one person to get here. But her eyes were steady when they found me. And honestly, to say I was relieved would be an understatement, I was happy, extremely happy to see her.“Claire,” she said. Just my name. No extra words.Morana didn’t even move. She looked Anastasia up and down the way someone looks at a mildly interesting inconvenience, then let out a soft, almost i

    Claire's POV"I have a problem” Connor said “I have not been able to reach climax for five years," he dropped to me.I almost stabbed myself in the hand with my pen in shock. "I am sorry, what did you just say," I asked him.Connor sat across from my desk in the leather chair and he put one ankle o

    Claire~I didn’t wait. I turned around and ran down the hallway. Tyler yelled my name behind me, but I didn’t stop or look back.Tears ran down my face as I pushed open the front doors and stepped outside into the cool night air. I had never felt so humiliated. My chest hurt from everything that ju

He didn’t glance back as he left and the door clicked shut.I stared at the closed door longer than I meant to.Connor had always unsettled me in ways I didn’t like thinking too m
