"How are you here?"
Those were the words that escaped my lips as my eyes faintly opened to Claire's face. There she was, her smile as bright as the morning rays greeting her face. Our breaths softly gracing each other's cheeks and our legs intertwined under my white bed sheets.
Her pink lips were inches apart from mine and her honey irises glistening with this divine joy. At the same time I could feel her breasts rocking against my chest. I should be enjoying this but instead, my head spun in confusion.
"How are you here? Claire." I mumbled again while her right fingers softly trailed my cheeks.
"You don't remember last night?" She whispered like a seductress. I frowned. If I could remember correctly, last night was just like any other night. Me sleeping alone on this ki
KEVIN"Today, we are gathered here under this blessed night to witness the coronation of our new Alpha and Beta of Greenville. Kevin Manchester and Gabriel Herald." So were the words of the elderly man positioned between Gabriel and I. His skin were wrinkled and his hair adorned in gray, one could tell he was nothing less than a two year Millennium old werewolf. He stood above us while our knees stood against the wooden floor. We were on a stage, in a large ballroom-like room where majority of my Pack Members were gathered. All dressed in elegance. The men took joy in suits and the women slaying in their dazzling evening gowns. I could see a bright smile adorning on Gabriel as he faced the crowd but all I did was searching through the crowd for only one person. Claire. It's not like I cared much about this coronation but it would mean a lot if she at least attended."Here, drink
And once again I was up in my room, smoking cigarettes and just staring aimlessly with only one thought in my head. Claire. I wondered how she was faring after last night. Just like I was in pain, I was definite she would be facing the same fate too. Ever since we've encountered several arguments, Lupus has refused to properly communicate with me. I can't even change to my Wolf form at this point. My thoughts drifted to my mother. A part of me had imagined she would show up last night but it was only a dream. One that never came true. It's times like this I more than ever needed one of her talks. She would have probably encouraged me to do better to my mate. I heaved an heavy sigh whilst heavy smokes toured out of my mouth. My door quietly opened and I expected Rose to usher in with her usual breakfast plate."Good Morning, Kevin." Gabriel's voice pierced through the chill air. I glanced at his smilin
Pain. Mild pain was the first feeling that greeted me as I slowly revived back to consciousness. My vision were hazy and gradually adjusting to the yellow lights. My arms and legs were chained with silver to the wooden chair I was seated on. I could feel the chains mercilessly burning my skin whenever they touched. There was also a drip like tube passed into my hands while wolfsbane slowly crawled it's way from a tank into my system. Two of Werewolves dangerous weakness were being bestowed to me for a reason I knew not. My head raged with a migraine, my muscles were weakening and aching from the poison entertaining my system. My breaths were receding, touring out weak and unsteady. I tried to fight against this pain, to break from the clutches of chains and poison but unfortunately, my body had already failed to yield to that resolve. The last I remembered was seeing Jerry at my door step and getting hit with goodness knows what.
"I'm sorry, Claire." I mumbled while I relentlessly kissed her left palm. There she was, on my bed. Her body burning at a high temperature, sweats broke on her forehead while her eyes were barely opened. I cried regardless of the Deltas and Gabriel that surrounded us."I'm sorry for being a disappointing mate!" I continued. "I'm sorry for not being there for you, I'm sorry I couldn't protect you, I'm sorry I failed you, don't leave me please." I pleaded. "I won't be able to forgive myself." I whispered to myself while my hands clutched to her palm hoping she won't lose consciousness. The door opened for some figures to saunter in but I didn't bother. My whole concentration was on Claire."I need everyone apart from the medical staffs to leave now." My mother pronounced with all authority and immediately, they all left my room in silence. I stayed regardless, seated by Claire's side cryi
"I'm sorry for being a disappointing mate!" He continued. "I'm sorry for not being there for you, I'm sorry I couldn't protect you, I'm sorry I failed you but please don't leave me " He pleaded. "I won't be able to forgive myself." He whisperedHearing those precious words from my mate last night was what saved me from crossing the thin line between life and death. As I emerged from the bathroom, dressed in a pink off shoulder top and blue jean I reminisced about last night. If anyone had told me Jerry could be that monstrous, I would have outrightly denied it. He was someone I considered a friend until yesterday. I toured about my mate's room whilst tolerating the mild pain that still raged in my muscles. Thanks to Kevin, I survived. I leaned against his luxurious wardrobe with my eyes staring at the king size bed where we sat side by side earlier this morning. Leaning against his perfect shoulder while our ha
"Are you ready?" I asked, staring deep into Claire's eyes. She nodded."Are you sure?" I asked again. As hard as I tried to read them, I couldn't phantom what was going on in her mind."Gosh Kevin, you've asked me this same question for like the hundredth time!" She chuckled lightly but I heaved a sigh. This was no laughing matter."Claire, yesterday was traumatic for both of us. I don't want you to be hurt again or feel bad even in the slightest." I mumbled hoping she would understand my own point of view. I recalled my mother advising me to let Claire stay clear of stress related issues. But here she was, seated in my car parked in front of Greenville High Court. I alongside the elders of Greenville were going to give our verdict upon Jerry and his criminalistic friends.
The Morning rays dawning on my face complemented with the chirping of birds gently woke me from my beautiful sleep. For the first time in days, I actually enjoyed my sleep thanks to my affectionate Alpha. My eyes opened abruptly when I couldn't feel his warmth nor his touch over me again. Only his scent remained on the bedsheets. A part of me had wished his arms were still curled around my waist while I woke up to his steely chest. I alighted from the bed, thinking about my work in Greenville High. One Kevin had relieved me of. To be honest, my body wasn't inclined towards boring school files too. I rather dreamed to spend time with my mate.And speaking of Mates, I wondered where Kevin had wandered too. I checked the bathroom but he wasn't there, hence I trailed downstairs where Gabriel's voice screeched."My Goodness! Kevin what have you done?!" He bl
"We have a trespasser"My gaze wavered between Claire and Gabriel before wearing my shirt back. I was angry but I hid it. The fact Gabriel has ruined our steamy moment irked me to my marrows."Send her in." Gabriel looked to the door while I took a protective stance beside my mate. My eyes furrowed at the raggedly looking old woman who the guards ushered in. Her black hair, dirty as the mud and her black gown looking faded and tattered all over. As she stared at me meters away, Her Chestnut brown eyes looked familiar, it reminded of someone so dear. But I briskly shove those thoughts away, from her malnourished appearance alone I knew she wasn't my Pack Member."Kevin!" She chirped in a soft voice which sounded overly familiar and tried to reach me but my guards held her back.
