The Wolf's Claim Fifty-Four: Lana
Lana's P.O.V. It was hard to sleep that night. Oliver was tossing and turning, unable to settle. It made me worried that something more had happened when he went to visit Nyla. He told me what had transpired between the two of them, the argument, but I couldn't help but wonder if it was more. Why was he so torn up if he didn't feel the bond and nothing had happened? According to him, the bond still wasn't severed as Nyla refused to reject him, and that news made me furious. It was the main reason why I didn't talk to Oliver about what Lottie had said. I had a lot of questions about him marking and turning me. But there was really no point in going down that rabbit hole when he was so clearly torn up by the thought of having the bond with Nyla severed for good. How was her leaving our lives, when he supposedly had no ties to her, impacting him so deeply? The next morning he went through the motions of trying to sneak out of bed to go run patrol. I kept my eyes closed as I feigned sl
The Wolf's Claim Fifty-Five: Oliver
Oliver's P.O.V. My paws pounded against the moist soil of the Earth as I sprinted back to the pack house. I could hear the caravan of vehicles as I got closer, informing me that my pack had arrived and was entering through the main road on the other side of the territory. I was ecstatic. It was finally time to take Lana and Maddie home, where they would be safe with people I trusted. It also meant that Nyla was out of time. I could finally reject her and move on with my life. As soon as I was alone with Lana, I would tell her everything about mates and mark her as soon as she was ready. I wanted our bond to be solidified in the eyes of the Goddess and the packs. My patience was almost gone, and the need to claim her drove me insane whenever she was near. A stabbing of fear spread through my body, stronger than any emotion I had ever felt from Lana before. I assumed it was due to the visitors and her distrust of new people, men especially. I paused, hunching over as my body turned
The Wolf's Claim Fifty-Six: Lana
Lana's P.O.V. My eyes squeezed shut as the feeling of dirt beneath my lids made it difficult to blink. The pounding in my head had me reeling, my mouth watering as my stomach rolled. I felt so stupid for trusting Nyla.Yet, any mother hearing the news that their child was hurt would panic too. It had been the first time I had ever been away from Maddie. My irrational rush of emotions and adrenaline had me moving to get to my child before I considered all options. Nyla was a snake, but I never imagined that she would be this venomous.I tried to remember what had happened and where James would be taking me. From the movement beneath me, I knew we weren't at our final destination, but I had no way of knowing what direction we had gone in when we left town.***A cold sweat had broken out across my forehead as James smiled menacingly at me. His eyes trailed over my body like I was his prey, and he was ready to tear the meat and flesh from my bones. He looked different than before. He wa
The Wolf's Claim Fifty-Seven: Lana
Lana's P.O.V. I did my best to brace myself as the car pulled over on the dirt road. The slope on the side of the road from the wash caused my body to slide down, head first into the side of my prison. "Son of a bitch!" James yelled out. His deep voice made me instinctively cringe as it grew closer. The trunk popped open, and the sharp midday sun blinded me as the subject of my nightmares stood before me. "I'll just have to do this here." A scream ripped from my throat as he reached for me, wrapping his fat, calloused fingers around my arm and pulling me out of the car roughly. My legs kicked out at him as he dragged me out of the trunk, and my breath was knocked out of me as I hit the wet ground beneath me. The evidence of last night's storm coated my body as I sank into the layer of loose mud that had yet to dry. I tried not to voice my disappointment and anger, knowing that my smell was going to be diminished by the moist Earth. "Don't do this, James. Please, don't do this!" I
The Wolf's Claim Fifty-Eight: Oliver
Oliver's P.O.V. I was in a rage. There was one scent that I couldn't get out of my mind, and it belonged to the one wolf that was unaccounted for. Nyla. Her stench had been in my bedroom, in Lana's dresser. She had taken Lana's clothes, but the question remained. Where did they go? I was searching the pack grounds high and low. Alpha Jones humored me, allowing me to comb through her lands and buildings. Anything that had even the smallest trace of Lana or Nyla's scent was torn apart. I knew I would have to pay for the damages, and I would, but I really didn't care at the moment. Alpha Jones demanded full cooperation in my search. As soon as I had regained control, she stepped forward. "She's not here, Oliver. One of my border patrols just advised that she left the grounds by car almost thirty minutes ago." Her confident stance was a show of power, but the empathy in her eyes told me that she understood that I was in pain. "She wouldn't. Not willingly. Not without me and not wi
The Wolf's Claim Fifty-Nine: Oliver
Oliver P.O.V. Alpha Jones was a woman of honor and had been known to stay true to her word. When she assured me that she would be keeping Nyla in the dungeon until I returned for her sentencing, I believed her. The last thing I had expected was for Conner to volunteer to join the search for Lana. Without his wolf, it seemed pointless, but it was the lesser of two evils. With Nyla locked up, the only one left on the pack land that I saw as a threat to Maddie, was Conner. Having to choose between leaving him there with Maddie and taking him with me was a no-brainer. I wanted him as far away from my child as possible. I had left behind a group of my pack to protect Maddie, who was oblivious to the situation, but she was excited to feed our pack the lunch she had made them. The rest of the pack was probably hungry as well, having driven all night to meet us, but they knew there were more important things at stake at the moment. Nyla had been easy to crack and after a simple command fro
The Wolf's Claim Sixty: Lana
Lana's P.O.V. It was strange being back in the cabin. After only two nights away, I was surprised to see the layer of dust coating everything. The small droppings in the corner were evidence that another rat had already found its way inside, which made me shiver in disgust. The deja-vu was unsettling. It was like we had never even been here. The broken glass of the front window crunched beneath our shoes as James dragged me inside, pulling me forward with his hand wrapped around my inner elbow. "So, this is where you've been hiding." He said as he wrinkled his nose in disgust. "Fitting that you would live in a place like this. A used-up old house for a used-up whore." I let out a moan of pain as he pushed me to the floor. With my wrists cuffed behind my back, I collided shoulder first into the hardwood before rolling onto my stomach. I watched with my cheek pressed against the cold surface as he began to dig through the cabinets, growing more frustrated with the limited supplies h
The Wolf's Claim Sixty-One: Oliver
Oliver's P.O.V. The smell of her blood grew thicker as I glared down at the gunman before me. The nerve of this pathetic human to lay a hand on my mate had me ready to end him. If it weren't for the gun pointed in her direction, I would have. I had promised Lana that I wouldn't let him hurt her again, yet there she was, beaten and bleeding on the floor. I had failed to keep my word and failed her as a mate. "Ah, you must be the dick she's been sucking," James said as he turned to face me but kept the gun pointed at Lana's head. "You both took something that belonged to me. I know you have it since it isn't here. I want it back, now." For a moment, I thought he was referring to Lana. To the fact that I had been with her while she was still married, but when he demanded it back, I knew he had bigger fish he was after. "You'll never get Maddie back," I stated, making sure my voice was loud and clear even though I filled with terror as Lana slumped over onto her shoulder, her eyes bl
