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

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

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 POVAs soon as I consent, I feel like I’m floating away.I'm floating, as if I'm weightless, massless, and transparent. I see the field, Liam vs. Alex. Alex is stalking Liam. I can’t watch and close my eyes.“Claire,” I look behind me and see my father talking. “Hello, my beautiful daughter. We need to talk.”I float over to him, looking him up and down. He is my age, just a pup himself. But I remember he died at 19, killed in a challenge by my Daddy.“Alpha Devon,” I said, sitting next to him.“I guess I deserve that, you have a daddy, and a good one, I chose well.”“Chose??” I ask, almost screaming.“Claire, when I mated to your mother, I was so happy, she was the most beautiful she-wolf I had ever seen. I overlooked the fact that she was, well, is a complete idiot. We signed the agreement with the Vampires before you were born. When I didn’t realize you would mean so much to me. Once you were born, I knew I needed to protect you. If that meant dying, well, so be it. My litt

Liam’s POV“Daddy, she stole my favorite dress!” Nancy screams.“No, it’s mine, it doesn’t fit you anymore.” April yells back.“We are twins, we are the same size!”“Both of you hush, it’s mine now,” Alice yells.“All three of you, shut up,” Patty says.“Don't tell them what to do,” Alexis screams.Before I can even get a word out, all 16 of my daughters are screaming at each other.Isaac and Samson mindlinked me that they had the car running, if I wanted to escape. Yes, please.I back away, slowly, from the girls ages 10–19. Claire gave birth to Sara and Shanka a year after the boys, followed by 6 more sets of twins, one a year. What can I say, we are the reason my brothers thought that the mate bond was all about sex. Alice and Patty came as individuals. And if I’m honest, they are the more difficult two.“ENOUGH!” Claire Alpha commands. I love that about her. “Give me the dress.”She inspects it, sighs and then, rips it. The girls gasp.“Now, go get dressed for your cousin's Alpha C
