After seeing Matt and Lily took off, Clayton linked with Ella and patiently told her that he is dismissing her from her duties and to already get some rest. He will call her if there is anything that he will be needing from her.Clayton finally turned off most of the lights inside his house, leaving some outside and one at the dining area before going inside his room. The minute he closed the door to his room, he could hear Amarah crying quietly from the bathroom and the shower running.Taking a new and thick towel from his cabinet, Clayton walked inside the bathroom and came to a complete stop when he saw her. All the control he had gathered when he stepped down his car immediately evaporated at the sight in front of him.Amarah, naked, is sitting on the shower floor with water running down on her. She is holding his soap and rubbing it frantically on the marks that run up her upper towards her back. While she was doing that, tears continued streaming down her

Clayton opened his eyes and immediately noticed that Amarah is not beside him on his bed. He raised his head up, searching for her and then saw her sitting by the bay window, looking out and a thin blanket wrapped around her body. He looked towards his clock at his bedside table, and it read five in the morning.She seemed to be in deep thought that she didn’t hear him roll over the bed.“Come back to bed, sweetheart,” he called huskily.Amarah turned to him and gave him a smile.“I didn’t want to wake you up,” she said as she stood up and walked back to the bed. Clayton automatically pulled the blanket so she can get in and when she did, he automatically pulled her down to him and removed the one covering her body. “I knew you’re going to be tired after this week-long festival.”Clayton nuzzled her neck, caressing her back lovingly.“I’m going to be fine,” he assured as

After finally seeing King Atticus taking off back to the Lycan capital, Clayton had some pending items that are urgent reviewed and approved first in his office, before finally deciding to head back home to Amarah. He still had something important to discuss with her and he knows that it’s something that will make her become uncooperative for a while. “Don’t forget also that your mother’s at your house right now. With Amarah,” Kragen reminded seriously. “I already told you before you let her sleep early in the morning about the connection that the both of us need to do because she has no wolf. What if your mom had started imparting lessons or teachings to her already? She might mention that I need to mate with Amarah as well since she’s wolf less.” Clayton’s face darkened as he got inside his car and started the engine. “Can’t you wait, Kragen?” He snapped hotly. “I just bedded her last night and you’re already pushing to take control. Why can’t you l

Clayton opened his eyes at the sound of Liam linking at him. He turned towards the window and saw the sun starting to set before looking back at Amarah, who is very much sleeping deeply beside him.“Clay!” Liam linked again firmly. “I’m outside!”“Five minutes,” Clayton responded irritatingly. He gently pulled the covers off him and kissed Amarah on her cheek, watching her snuggling and pulling the cover over her. He smiled as he finally stood up. “I’ll be right out.”He went out of her room, closing the door quietly and went to his, opening his closet and putting on shirt and sweatpants. He didn’t bother putting any boxers, knowing that he’s going to take them off again later.After all those times, Clayton could still not get over Amarah. It’s as if that she is like a very delicious and addictive drink that he wouldn’t mind drinking repeatedly.Clayton opened the

Clayton followed and walked beside Gabriel Saville and watched as a teary-eyed Amarah was being led by her father towards her waiting family. He watched when the father and daughter finally reached the small gathering and a woman, who Clayton assumed is her mother threw her arms around Amarah and hugged her tightly, tears falling on her cheeks. The rest of the family then followed, and he watched as his mate was being swarm by hugs and kisses, introducing her to the family she is meeting for the first time.He noted, Amarah had never let go of her mother’s hands and that her father and siblings are behind her every step of the way.“Looks like you’ll be sleeping on your own the entire stay here,” Gabriel sneered at him with a chuckle as Amarah was being swamped by her family and relatives. “Don’t worry. I’m sure you’ll be given one of the best accommodations where you’ll be more than comfortable.”&ldqu
