Claire glared at Sebastian and then Devin one last time before turning and storming off, the anger emanating from her palpable even after she was gone. Sebastian let out a sigh before looking at Devin. “Why did you just stay silent? Why didn’t you tell her you were spending your days trying to find that bastard?” Devin shook his head. “Because I deserve it. I was so stupid that I stayed away from Eunice when she needed me the most. I was confused by my feelings regarding what happened to her and waited to sort them out. None of that should have mattered when she was in such a state.” Devin sighed, his shoulders slumping in defeat. “I should just have been there for her when she needed me. I was such a fool and I deserve all the hatred from Eunice and Claire.” Devin said, regret coating his words, and Sebastian sighed. He had known this would happen. That’s why he tried to coax Devin to go to Eunice that day. But he rejected his advice and now seeing his friend’s regret, Sebastia
"Well?" Claire probed Edward, the man whom she had assigned with the task of investigating the monster who raped Eunice. "I have been tracking the man since the day I was assigned the task of finding him. And I finally found a clue yesterday," he replied, making Claire straighten up, excitement rising inside her. Finally, she will get a chance to meet that demon and teach him a lesson. Her hands itched with the need to peel the skin off his filthy body and throw him to the pits of hell. Just wait, you pathetic excuse of a human! "His name is Jamie Grey, and he was a member of the Bluemoon pack. He was a menace there too, causing troubles all the time and about a year ago, the alpha finally expelled him, turning him into a rogue. There has been little information regarding what he did after that before he popped back into radar a few weeks ago, where a few people spotted him in neutral territory near our pack," Edward reported, making Claire frown. A rogue had the audacity to enter th
Liam had always taken pride in his ability to plan things ahead of time. His biggest plan so far had been to make Claire fall in love with him, paving the way for him to become the Alpha like he always dreamed of. Everything had been going smoothly exactly like he planned until the night Claire turned eighteen. Just like he planned, she had fallen head over heels for him, looking at him as if he was her entire world. He had been careful to rile her up to fight Alpha Gavin by the time she turned eighteen. Just like Liam wanted, she rebelled against her father by marking him even when she knew he was not her mate, like she had hoped. But that was where things started going wrong. It was like she changed into an entirely new person the moment he marked her. He had been planning to get her to mark him the moment she wakes up so that he could have the right to claim the Alpha position once he gets rid of Gavin. But the stupid woman foiled all his carefully laden plans when she refused to
Claire leaned against a tree, panting hard and fighting the dizziness that threatened to drown her. She had run away from Liam, her instincts guiding her outside the packhouse once she realised she had marked Liam under the effects of the drug. She wanted to be as far away from him as she could and, if possible, never see his filthy face ever again in her life. How dare he drug her and make her mark him? How dare he treat her as a toy he could manipulate?! But now she was in no state to act out her anger and all she could do was try to stay away from his sight. Her priority was to save herself from his lecherous advances when she was drugged and vulnerable. Claire looked around, her gaze taking in her surroundings, and she realized that in her panic, she had run into the forest. But Liam may come looking for her and she had to be in a place he wouldn’t think of looking for her. And she just knew the perfect place for that. Taking a deep breath, Claire gathered her strength before ru
“What?" Sebastian blurted out in shock while Claire glared at him.“I said not him!” She snarled before letting out a tired sigh. “Please don’t call him,” she repeated in a defeated voice and Sebastian stared at her with surprise, a strange warmth filling his chest. He felt blank for a moment as he tried to process the information, and then felt his lips stretch into a smile as realization dawned. She said she didn’t want Liam, the guy she was supposedly in love with! In fact, she looked absolutely revolted at the idea of seeing him, let alone letting him touch her. A strange thrill coursed through his veins at the thought that maybe Liam wasn’t as important to Claire as he had originally thought. Maybe the relationship between Claire and Liam wasn’t as strong as he believed. Did that mean he still stood a chance?Feeling elated, Sebastian smiled down at Claire, but his smile faded when he saw the obvious agony on her face. This was not the time to be petty and think of his chances wi
Claire looked up at Sebastian with a dazed smile, still feeling high from the climax she had just had under his skillful fingers. Even when she was drugged, she could still feel his every touch searing into her body, making her beg for more. She would have claimed it was the drug’s effects, but she knew very well that it was all him. “Thank you,” she said, but her words ended in a whisper as her eyelids drooped and she fainted, making Sebastian catch her reflexively. He looked down at her with worry and, seeing her breathing calmly, a small smile adorning her face, he relaxed. She was just worn out and fell asleep. Silly woman, he thought with a smile as he caressed her face with a smile. Slowly, he adjusted her clothing and picked her up. Seeing that it was already evening, he started walking towards the packhouse, mindful to stay out of anyone’s sight. After all, he couldn’t let anyone see his mate when she was in such a vulnerable state.Once he reached her room, Sebastian placed
Sebastian looked down at a still sleeping Claire who was now wearing her shirt, which he had found lying on the bed. He wondered what was happening with the fight outside when he heard a knock on the door. He stood up to answer before pausing. This was the room of a woman who was marked by another man and, logically, he had no business being here, especially when she was sleeping. He would certainly look like a creep to someone who didn’t know the actual situation.He frowned, wondering if that mattered to him. Then he shrugged. Hell no. He didn’t care what anyone thought of him. The only thing he was worried about was the wellbeing of his mate. He will stay in this room until he could make sure that she was alright, and the drug didn’t have any other ill effects that he may have missed. He needed to see her wake up fine and if someone has a problem with him being in this room, they will have to fight and defeat him before dragging him out of the room. Determined to face whoever was
Though Claire was still lying in a comatose state, her mind was not relaxed like her body. A thousand thoughts flooded her mind as she remembered everything that had happened to her. She was certain Liam was behind the drugging incident and she even knew his purpose because it was already fulfilled. She had fallen under his trap and marked him just as he wanted. Now he had the right to claim the alpha position if he wanted, and she knew what that meant. Her father’s life was in danger!Claire tried to fight against the bonds that were keeping her under their strings, making her feel as if she was an entity floating in the endless universe without a body. She wanted to wake up and rush to her father, to make sure that he was alright, but when she couldn’t even feel her body, how could she run let alone move? All she could do was wait and hope that whatever happened to her body would undo itself soon and she could wake up. She had lost her father in her last life and she had just gotten
