My gaze remained on the ceiling, hoping for a quick end to whatever Landel was doing to me. When he eventually pushed his head out and stood up, he examined the swab with squinted eyes. "Dress up," he rasped. Grabbing the sheet to completely cover my bareness, I expected him to turn away and give me some privacy but his eyes remained on me. "Can I have some privacy?" "So you can run off again?" he arched a brow at me. Well, I had tried to escape again when I was laid. The bed was too high, so I ended up tumbling over, breaking my nose as I hit the ground. He caught me before I got to the exit and slammed me back into the bed. And since then, his gaze never left me. "I don't have time for hide and seek. Dress up or I'll be delighted to carry you out butt naked." From the sound of his voice to his features, everything about him was intimidating. His quietness w
~Claire~ .. "Take her away and wash her body clean," Adelaide's voice was faint in my ears and I watched lazily as Tiana's body was dragged out of the cell yard. My body stiffened in the seat I was tied to as I recovered from the electrocution. My breathing grew hard when I noticed Adelaide making her way toward me with the sword, I began pleading with her to not come any closer. Tiana's blood on her face proved to me that I wasn't in a dream.. or a nightmare. This was all real! Adelaide reached me and I tried to remain still as she hooked off the collar. "What a sight, right?" She grinned at me but I no longer thought of it as welcoming. It was creepy and all I wanted to do was get away from it. From her. "Please... I don't want to be here." "I know, honey. But you don't have a choice. Let's make a deal, I will untie you but you will remain in that seat like a good little girl, okay?" I nodded. She tore off the thick ropes bounding my hands and handed the sword to
~Axel~ The spoon dropped from my hand but Warren got it before it could hit the floor, I stared at the meals seated in front of me with distaste. The feeling of unease settled heavily in the pit of my stomach. "Is something wrong?" Warren asked, wiping the spoon and returning it to the dish of steaks. "Is it the food?" I shook my head, "I just feel so uneasy." "Why? Is it the prescription?" Again, I shook my head. "where is Claire?" "She left for her father's pack with Adelaide. He's on his deathbed and asked to see her so Adelaide went with her." Amidst the feeling, I picked up the spoon and resumed eating, ignoring the discomfort. "I must be mistaken then, for a second I felt like she was in danger. I guess it's just sadness. Fuck, I hate this connection thing so bad." "You'll get used to it." "I smell her blood," I said to Warren, "looks like she hurt herself. Do you think her father died already?" I asked, hating how worried I was. "Probably. We mourn in diffe
~Claire~ We arrived at a cave, made of rocks and sand. Its width was almost half of the shadow pack house, looking like a completely different pack on its own. I looked around with only my eyes, trying not to tilt my head and trigger the shock collar grasped around my neck. Throughout the journey that lasted until the sun went down, wolfsbane was constantly shoved into me, to prevent me from regaining even a little strength. Ava was drained of strength and I was barely holding on. My body was weak but my eyes remained open, I refused to shut down completely. Lazily I rolled my eyes ahead of me as the carriage came to a halt, my hands buried into my thigh. Save for the building standing before us, the area seemed like a desert. “Get out.“ my door was thrown open and I was staring at Jett in the eyes, unable to utter a word. The look in his eyes wasn't friendly and I knew if I delayed even for a second, he would viciously pull me out, not caring that I could be electrocuted to u
.... ~Claire For the next five days, Marianne's words remained stuck in my mind, the grotesque imagination constantly sending me off. I was shoved forward one last time and then I felt Axel move away from me, his erection falling flat as he plopped to the bed, exhausted. I wasn't sure for how long I was bent over while he ground me from behind but when I regained my sense, I felt a sharp prick from all that standing, and in between my thigh, a slick whitish liquid ran down. I stared at him, surprised by how I was carried away while he sexed me from behind, unclad from my waist down to my legs. I stood and head to the bathroom to clean myself up. I was sure Axel must have been hard on me considering the number of days, he didn't have me due to my period. He wasn't a fan of foreplay, which was a good thing for me because I didn't have to completely go naked for him to have his way. His desires were strong and they made his thrusts painful and almost unbearable. While I was glad kno
~Claire~ ... The next day, after running a late bath and dressing up all alone, having mastered the process, I sat at the vanity and the dressers worked on styling my hair. Marianne had suggested we take a walk around the palace to flex my thighs, I saw it as an opportunity to tour the courtyard, of the gigantic building, that I hadn't been to. Marianne walked in as soon as the dressers rounded up with the chignon they were gathering my hair into, my crown was fixed on top of it, an almost similar version of Adelaide's. We head out of my room to the outside walls of the palace. Since we were still in the surrounding, Marianne dismissed the guards that prepared to accompany us. "I hope you feel better today?" She asked. The poise that came with every majestic step she took, left me in admiration of her. She was born into royalty and it reeked in everything she did. She was so comported, even her smile depicts her identity as a royal breed. "Yes, I do feel better," I answered.
~Claire~ I sat beside Adelaide in the bronze sterling carriage as we traveled back to the Shadow pack. My palms were clasped on my knees and the slight discomfort from the corset tightened around my waist heightened. The tiny spikes from the royal mantle draped over my dress disturbingly tickled my neck. A cramp twisted my stomach and I moved disturbingly in my seat to ease it. "Are you okay, Claire?" Adelaide's voice brought me from my reverie. "Yes mother," I replied, taking a quick breath. A warm thick gush ran between my legs and I pressed them against each other, a rush of embarrassment staining my cheeks. I felt Adelaide's gaze on me, or the bracelet banded around my wrist, I wasn't so sure since my gaze was ahead. "If it's okay with you, I'd like us to go somewhere first." she had a warm smile when I glanced at her. "What place?" "The sperm bank, you need to get some tests done. The doctors will be at the palace tomorrow to carry out the insemination and I noticed y
~Axel~ ... I watched Warren's lips curl into a gasp, "You have a mate? Is it Nadine?" "It's Claire," I revealed gruffly, the annoyance reenacting in my demeanor. "What? Claire? Your mate?" He was greatly stunned. "A bloody Omega, Warren. The moon goddess must think of me as a fuckin joke to give me an Omega for a mate after waiting all these years!" I growled, dousing my body in the bathtub. "Does Nadine know?" I brought myself out of the water, wiping my face. "I only just found out about it myself. I can't tell her, it's messed up." "But you're the legendary Crimson wolf. In the entire history of werewolves, I've never heard where a Crimson wolf is mated to an Omega." I laughed hysterically like the situation was nothing to laugh about. "The only reason I fell for Nadine in the first place is because I felt I didn't have a mate. Tamar assured me that I was mateless, and after fifteen years of waiting, I find out my destined mate is an Omega. Isn't it just fucking hilari
~ Claire~ .. The knockings persisted and an idea crossed my mind. I glanced at Axel and he was now quiet, despite the slight unbalanced movements his body made on the bed; he didn't produce any noise. Quickly, I took off my sleeping dress and wrapped it around my nude body, specifically covering the Trista mark. I ruffled my hair and wet my face to look before going to the door, I slightly opened it and met Marianne's stare. "Um, the Alpha and I are busy right now. Do you mind?" I asked, feigning an out-of-breathe tone. "Oh of course not!" She appeared stunned for a moment, then flustered, "sorry for the interruption, please carry on," she seemed unreasonably excited and I quickly shut the door. Breathing out heavily, I turned and realized Axel was now on his feet. I bolted the door, dressed up, and walked to him. "My Lord, you need to calm down before-- "Mate," he repeated, walking towards me in lazy steps. I watched him get to me and his arm snaked around my waist before h
