The Unwanted Mate

Clara“Please.” I whimpered again when the man was unmoving from where he stood. I hoped my helpless state would move the heart of these strange men. But the man named Calvin held my gaze intently for a split second, without saying a word he climbed onto the horse and galloped away. I staggered to my feet and ran after them, but my feet hit a stone and I stumbled to the ground hard. I watched as my only hope faded into the distance. Tears rolled down my face when I felt their presence. “There you are.” Came the mocking tone from Richard. Dragging me to my feet. “How far do you think you can run?” He questioned, putting his lips close to my ear. The memory of my parents falling to their deaths right next to me crossed my mind and in annoyance was ready to die with them. I turned my face and grabbed Richard’s ear between my teeth. Biting down on it hard and punching at his belly at the same time. He yelled in pain, slapping me with his hard palms. “You buffoons, get this bitch off

ClaraThe moon goddess had forsaken me, so I thought. Spending three months being locked up and serving as the pack healer made my yearning for revenge simmer down but not forgotten. It was harder than I thought it would be. I have been kept under tight security so there wasn’t enough room for me to plan. When they came to drag me out one night saying a child was dying and only I could save him, I was certain that my chance to get back at the traitor had come. But I was wrong. Richard ensured not to call on me when he falls ill. I hear he goes out of the pack to seek a solution. He must fear what I might do to him after our last encounter in the woods. I hear his ear still hasn’t healed totally. Meeting Alpha Vincent that day at the clinic, I felt his energy and knew that we were mates. My almost nonexistent wolf’s energy soared that day after so long. But I couldn’t get too excited because there was no way I would be allowed such goodwill. That was what I thought. Not until I was

Clara“Do you need help with that?” Henry grinned at me. Spreading out the last bedspread, I shook my head. “I just finished with it, thank you.” “You look tired. Since when have you been at it?” I shrugged nonchalantly. “Been a while. I have gotten used to it.”Henry had a worried look on his face as always. “Have you had anything to eat today?” “I am sure I will get fed something eventually.” “That reminds me. I plucked some delicious blueberries when I went into the woods. Wait here and I will get them for you.” He didn’t wait to get my response before running off. A weak smile tugged at the corner of my lip as I sat on the grass holding my knees to my chest. It’s been almost two months since I arrived at Stonecrest pack and my life hasn’t been easy. I thought I was going to die when he rejected me. But here I am to my own surprise. Vincent didn’t stop his torment after rejecting me. He continuously used his hands on me whenever I crossed his path, which I always do since I

Vincent“how do you feel Alpha? Are you any better?” ivan asked while the doctor changed my bandage.I snorted, “do you really want to know?”“I bet I wouldn’t be asking if I didn’t want to know.” he replied with a silly glint in his eyes.I waited for the doctor to round up and leave before talking. “how else do you expect me to feel after being humiliated by that stupid girl.” I hissed, snatching the whiskey bottle that I had been drinking from before the doctors arrival. I took a gulp and it burned my chest.“the talk is all over the packhouse. No one seems to understand why she would do such a thing to you.” I can hear the taunt in his voice.“this isn’t funny.” I said.Ivan sighed, reaching for the whiskey bottle to pour himself some. “why would you do that? aren’t there better ways to ask for it?”“why should I ask for something that belongs to me?”“we are not in the medieval times, she is not your slave and you cannot lay claim on her just because it soothes you.”“whose side

VincentI halted abruptly at the entrance of the pit, breathless from the run I had in the woods. Clara was tied to the bench as it has been these past few days, her head down with the cloth she had on soaked in blood. She is the reason for the pain being unleashed on her. all I ask her to do is beg for mercy and I will let her go. Still she remains adamant and I also wont desist from making her hate herself. moreover, she made me lose a valuable land because I thought she would make a flawless luna, but I was wrong and it is her fault for fooling me.I would have loved to see howfar she can take the whipping, but ivan had cautioned to not do something that would have the people breathing down my neck. So I instructed that she gets taken to the dungeon every night but returned to the pit and tied there under the burning sun until night falls. Smirking to myself, I turned away and headed to the main house. just as I made my entry, a concerned looking Ivan rushed towards me.“she is bac
