Claire’s POVKassandra Byatt is minutes away! I trained with her, briefly, before I got my wolf and she taught me so much about combat and fighting. I just want to fangirl every time I see her. She is the most amazing warrior. She is bringing with her Alpha Edward, her mate, Alpha Garrett, Luna Rita, and their twins GJ and Gracie. Also joining us are Alpha James, his Luna Erin of Silver Creek, Alpha Chris of Blue Moon, Alpha Rex of Sandhills. Liam and I are standing with Trevor and Stephanie on our front steps to welcome the new arrivals.“Claire Wallace, can’t see over a counter, but is now over seeing an entire pack? Have you grown at all since the last time I saw you?” Kass teases getting out of her car.“Very funny, I got a little bigger round the middle,” I show off my baby bump. She smiles as a man wraps an around her waist.This is Alpha Edward of Blood Moon. He is cruel and harsh. Everyone respects him and some like me are afraid of him.“And your Alpha is so huge. Wanna trade?
William’s POVWhile I can’t believe he was so irresponsible to get his mate pregnant, I am so proud today of my oldest son.Today, he was sworn in as Alpha of his own pack. Why built his own pack? We couldn’t agree on changes he wanted to make. My son said to me “I love you dad and it’s not worth fighting. Let me move and start my own pack.”While I don’t agree with his liberal policies, they aren’t harmful. He will make a great Alpha. As he is taking his oath, my throat constricts.My son, now an Alpha.Then my attention shifts to the beautiful women on the stage. How is she a woman? Yesterday I was cradling her as she said ‘dadadadada’ over and over again. Her little hand wrapping around my finger. Her father had just died by the same hand she held, but she trusted me completely. No whimper or shutter. The moment I saw baby Claire, my heart was gone. I’d never be the same. She was destined to be my daughter. There she stands, so beautiful, my heart is full of pride. Not the shy littl
Liam’s POVWe are merciful, soft, decent, kind. These are how dumbasses describe the Wallace Alphas. That is until they cross us. Most Alphas know the truth of us. I wasn’t sure I was ready for Claire to see this side of me, but as my Luna and mother of my sons, she should know. We are ruthless when you threaten us, our family, or our happiness.My father, brothers, and I removed our jackets and shirts before going into the cell. Claire had changed into leggings and a tank top.“You sure about this, Pumpkin?” I asked again. Running a hand through her now loose hair. “It’s going to seem sadistic and cruel.”“I worked with Daddy and Nic on hostile rouges that year you were away. I’m not as innocent as you to seem to think.” She mused, leaning into my hand. I noticed her eyes turn black.Nic and Dad smirked at me.Dad put a prideful arm around her, “She’s an Alpha son, she is a natural at this.”Luke and Cullen nod at me and we 6 walk to Marcus’s holding cell. Trevor is already there prep
Grace’s POVFinally, our ceremony is here. Finally, I will be Luna and Anna can’t override me! Finally, Claire and I will be evenly ranked. Finally, everyone is out of the Alpha House and Nic and I are alone. FINALLY!I’m sitting in Claire’s old room, which I converted into my personal changing room and closet. I may not be the sweetest she-wolf, the smartest, or even the most beautiful, but I will be the best dressed.“Hello, sister friend?” I hear Claire sing, as she comes into the room.“How has you belly gotten so much bigger in a week?” I ask, seeing a now clear baby bump. She played host to Edward and Kassandra and then it was my turn. Rita and Garrett had stayed at Blue Mountain training them.Edward was nothing but complementary of both packs' warriors, and extremely impressed with Claire’s hosting skills. I hope mine have lived up to standards.“Twin Alphas and I’m small, so it shows faster.” She smiles.“It’s cute, you have a perfectly cute baby bump. And I have two zits on m
Claire’s POVI spend my days helping plan events for the first school year at Blue Mountain. We plan trips for kids to museums, zoos, planetariums, and a play. I work with the teachers, as they plan curriculums, making sure they have the resources they need to teacher properly.Liam works to supply the money. And he is doing a great job. He is also training daily. I’m a little concerned because he is bulking up too much.“Liam, I just don’t want you too big. I'm small and I don’t want you to break me.” I giggle at him, as he wraps his arms around me.“I will always be gentle with my Pumpkin,” he leans all the way down to my neck. “I love you so much.”“I think I love you more,” I batt my eyes.“Impossible,” he says, claiming my lips. We start getting heated and I’m unbuckling his pants. We are in the common room of the Packhouse, but I don’t care, I need him. He moves us to a closet, and we start going hot and hard. I’m braced against the wall, my legs stretched to the other wall, Liam
Claire’s POVMy brothers are officially 18! And for once, the early mate bond didn’t fail. Tonight, we will go to a party to officially announce Cullen and Mable and Luke and Sable as mates to the pack.Mable requested a special song for her and Cullen, but won’t tell anyone what it is. I love the glint in her eyes. She has something up her sleeve and I am excited for it.The four of them have visited often on the weekends. Getting to know Mable and Sable has been exciting. They have helped with the nursery and several Luna duties.Cullen and Luke spend their time training with Liam. I also feel like Liam is sharing pack information between the twins and Trevor, as Daddy suggested.“Liam, are you going to name Cullen and Luke as our twins and pack’s guardians if something happens during the challenge?” I ask him, as we drive back to Mountain Peak for the announcement party.“I have a will written, I was going to share it with you closer in, but yes Cullen and Luke will be the guardians
Jackson’s POVAfter Marcus came back a broken wolf, I had to replace him as Beta. His younger brother stepped up, thankfully. I let Marcus stay with the pack because of our history, but I can’t trust him or his judgement anymore.I’m waiting 2 more weeks to see the outcome of the challenge. If the legend holds Claire will lose her mate, but not her own life. She will then be given her second mate. Whom I hope is also not me, because that fool also dies within a year. So, then the Sapphire is given her true mate, her lifetime mate. That is the mate I’m hoping I am. Her third mate, her right mate. Even if I have to raise two other Alpha’s pups and protect their lands. I’ll do it for Claire. If the legend is wrong and Liam wins, I will need to find my mate.I’m not not looking for my mate. I still visit other packs, attend functions, all the normal things unmated Alpha’s do, but no luck. It has to be Claire.I am able to function, for that I thank the goddess. Most Alpha’s when deprived o
Claire’s POV“How could you promise your child to a Vampire?” I screamed in her face. “What kind of a mother does that?”She looked at me like she didn’t know me and then, recognition came over her.“Love, this is my daughter, Sapphire,” Elizabeth introduces me to King Ralph. “Sapphire, this is my mate, King Ralph.”“My name is Claire.” I corrected her.“Actually, your name is Sapphire.” Elizabeth smiles. “And once you true mate claims you, you will forget your wrong mate. And sweetie, Liam is all wrong.”“Did you feel anything for my father?”“Horny. Exactly what you are for Liam. It’s all fake. He is your wrong mate. He gave up your mate bond help, because even he knows it’s just junk.” Elizabeth is cold and I want her dead.“You are wrong. What Liam and I have is real.”“Whatever floats your boat.” She flips her hair, rolls her eyes and walks away. What kind of a mother is that?I rub my belly and promise my boys to never act like that ever. Liam comes behind me and I melt into him,
