The Wrong Mate 27-The Curse
I hear our parents talking, but none of it registered. Liam wrapped me in a protective hug. I buried my face in him and held on tight. I was sobbing!“He’ll have to kill me to get her,” Liam said. “I mean it! We have had enough problems and we finally overcome them and now we have to deal with a damn Vamp?“I don’t doubt he might try to kill you. Colored wolves are prized, hybrid-colored wolves are even more rare.” Dad says, "and Elizabeth is dumber than I remember, they are called Polychromatic Wolves. Your eyes and your ability to detect lies, should have given it away. I’m sorry I didn’t pick up on it. There was something about Sapphire, I can’t remember, I’ll look it up.”“I’ve seen her wolf, it’s not blue,” Liam said, rubbing my back. “She's a normal Alpha black wolf. Huge by the way. Almost as big as me. Probably Nic's size.”“And lie detection isn’t really a sign of being different, I mean, I can hear better, and Liam is stronger than others. It could be her Alpha trait,” Nic ad
The Wrong Mate 28- The Challenge
Claire’s POVEveryone was looking at Liam. We just read that I’m, basically, a black widow. Any Alpha mated to me would die and a new one would take their place. So, Liam is going to die.“We can’t believe everything we read,” Liam said, assuring everyone. “So, stop with the overreacting. I’m not some hot head, who lets power go to his head. I have a good head on my shoulders, and I’m not intimidated by Claire, or whatever her powers might be. So, everyone calm down!”Cullen continued to read, “while the White Wolf is the most powerful wolf, the Sapphire Wolf comes in a close second, especially if the wolf has multiple powers. Since all Polychromatic Wolves are Alpha born, they possess an Alpha Aura. Use of the Aura can kill weaker wolves. So, Claire, no Alpha commands, you might Kill Nic’s wolf.”Cullen’s joke lightens the mood a little, as we all laughed. Even Nic cracked a smile.“At least I have a wolf, Squirt,” Nic threw a kitchen towel at Cullen.“Hey,” Luke said, looking up from
The Wrong Mate 29-Jealous Mates
Claire’s POV“Pumpkin, this is to protect you. I’ll be okay.” Liam says pulling me close.“Son, Vampires aren’t easy one on one in the ring, they are deceptive, and he will cheat. Six months is the perfect time to grow wolfsbane,” Daddy says, clearly fighting looking proud at this moment. I roll my eyes. How can he be proud?“It’s better than our original plan. Risking warriors and pack members. Plus, I have Claire to help me.” Liam defends himself. He will risk his life for the protection of his pack. My heart wants to bust with pride, but also fear. I know this is the way an Alpha behaves, but come on!“You will be alone brother, against a much more experienced fighter,” Nic added, sounding worried, but he changed his tune to one of almost cheering, “but you can kick his ass. My big brother can do anything.”Nic is covering his fear. I reached out and rubbed his arm to comfort him. We locked eyes and I gave him a reassuring smile. Before I realized what I had done, everyone was looki
The Wrong Mate 30- Claire’s Gift.
Claire’s POVLiam went to blow off some steam in the gym. Which after the morning we had is not a bad idea. After I changed, I joined him on the treadmill. My presence seemed to push him harder and soon we were racing.Running has always my strongest activity. Liam underestimates my ability and I see my big bad wolf start to faultier.“Okay, I give,” Liam started slowing down and I follow suit.“Any other activity, you can beat me, running, I’m the best,” I was barely out of breath. Liam on the other hand, could barely breathe. “In through your nose, out your mouth and repeat, until you calm down.”“I’m going to get as good as you,” Liam challenges himself.I smile, “you can try babe, but I’m a she-wolf, I’m smaller, leaner, and one of my Alpha traits is speed. So, you can beat me at sparing, free weights, lifting, but running, I will dominate your Alpha ass. I held back the last night, didn’t want to hurt your pride.”Liam laid on the gym floor, to allow his wolf to heal him. He looke
The Wrong Mate 31-Twin’s Solutions
Claire’s POVI’m so done with the jealous bullshit. It makes no sense. We all have pasts, but judging your mate’s past, gets you nowhere, fast. When did I find out Grace and Liam went too far? The night of. She smelled like him and not in her normal, just made out kind way. I mean, really, who were they trying to fool. I’m so over all this.Nic and Grace are a couple, a couple of crazy people, but they are together. Liam and I are together. So, these are the facts, let’s make new memories and let the past go.I keep saying all this to myself, so I don’t wolf out and kill them all. Seriously, they are the worst babies about all this. Growling, snarling, jealously possessive, Grace with actual tears. Stupid mate bond!“Yo, Clar-Bell,” Luke yells, coming to my and Liam’s room. “You seen Liam?”“Gym, why?”“We found an Alpha who developed a training program to fight hybrids.” Cullen said, handing me his phone.I read the description.Training with Vampire/Wolf Hybrid, to learn speed and ag
The Wrong Mate 32- Preparing for Jackson
Claire’s POVTwenty minutes later, we are all in the office, even Nic and Grace.“You should have discussed it with me, and I would have called Jackson myself,” Liam said, after I explained everything. “But, thank you. I’ll take all the help I can get.”“Well, the thanks is to the twins, who found Alpha Jackson,” I said, smiling at my younger brothers.“We can’t let Liam die and Nic be oldest, that can never happen,” Luke joked.“Yeah, we don’t want to live in that world,” Cullen added, now messing with a small thin blade. Dude is seriously scary.“Hey, my wolf and I are already on edge, so lay off, before I lay you out,” Nic warned. He caught my eye and made an annoyed face. I gave him a tight-lipped smile and he looked away.He needs a hug. But I notice Grace is standing near him, but not touching him. Seriously, just a hug and he will be okay. I want to mindlink her to tell her, but I’m worried it will be overstepping and upset her.“So, this is good?” Mom asked and Dad nodded. “Gra
The Wrong Mate 33- Meeting Sapphire
Nic’s POVIt’s finally, I mean, really, finally, 11:45pm on the full moon. The whole pack has gathered to run.“I’m so excited to shift for the first time,” Grace said. She had a special robe on, and her hair is up in a messy bun. In this light, she is more lovely than the night sky.We spent the afternoon talking. Actually talking, I know shocked me too. We discussed plans, like house renovations, pack celebrations, and how we would host the visiting Alphas. We also talked about how to grow the pack again. Half of the pack is moving to the other side of the mountain with Liam and Claire.Grace wants to make she-wolf education a priority. Apparently, she feels, she-wolves aren’t encouraged to do more than find mates and make babies. I, personally, disagreed, until she pointed out that I had never once considered she might want to go to college next fall. Which I couldn’t argue, because, honestly, the thought never crossed my mind. So, if she wants to take the lead on that, it’s her bal
The Wrong Mate 34-Alpha Sexy Voice
Jackson’s POVIt’s early Saturday morning and I’ve gone over what I expect with my warriors for the next week. I don’t have a Gamma, never really needed one. We are a smaller pack, only about 700 wolves. Compared to our neighbor, Blue Moon, we are about equal, but their neighbor, Silver Creek, is closer to 5000 wolves. My territory goes right up to the border of the mountain that holds Mountain Peak and now Blue Mountain. They are close to 3000 wolves. Alpha William is a more traditional Alpha. won’t accept Hybrids, allows rejections based on rank, and doesn’t see the need for she-wolves to be educated beyond high school. Liam and I think alike, hybrids make loyal pack members, rejections are an abomination against the goddess, and she-wolves are just as smart as males. I was kinda hoping he would take over for his dad, but no, I get Nic. Nic seems to be more like his dad. Why couldn’t Nic be the one who challenged a Vamp Hybrid?I grab my stuff and head to the front of the Packhouse t
