All Chapters of Mated To The Beast: Her Hybrid Mate : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Claire’s Pov“Not trying to motivate you In any case, you should be the biggest motivation to yourself by the way,” Darien replied, “All I am just trying to say is that the pack is hard, Claire. They don’t bend easily, so you have to keep your feet rooted deep into the ground if you must win.”“Oh, I see!”“Yes, you should not go around carrying the entitlement mentality that you are the Alpha’s mate so things out to be easy for you because things don’t happen over here like that,” Darien continued, “You have to earn their respect, their loyalty and their love.”“But they aren’t even giving me any chance to know me,” I heaved out, frustrated.“They are being tough on you because they would to know how good you are to be their Luna, you should open your eyes widely to see that,” Darien stated.I let out a shaky breath, allowing my eyes to meet with his. “But they should know I am not here because I want to, you brought me here because you saw something more unique in me right?”Darien’

Claire’s Pov“Training is over for today,” Sasha spat out, whipping through the group, her eyes scanning everyone. “But listen up, there is going to be a challenge coming up soon. So you’d all better be ready for the drill.”Her eyes went to fall on me, lingering on me for a longer while as if she was trying to tell me that the challenge was specifically for me. “You all know how this works right?” she went on to ask and the rest of the group excitingly chorused a positive answer.“It is a moment for everyone to show their strength, display their skill and prove to the rest of the pack that they are warriors indeed,” Sasha said, “And by now you all are aware that no slacking or weakness is tolerated during this period, but for the sake of the newbie in our midst, I would sound the warning again,” Sasha added, rolling her eyes at me.Then without saying any more words, she storms off, with her cranky, gossip partner going after her. The group started to slowly disperse after Sasha’s ab

Claire’s PovThe day we all had been waiting for had finally come. After what felt like endless hours of practice, bruised knuckles, and aching and trembling muscles, today was the day Raven and I had prepared ceaselessly for.The pack challenge was what not only me, but all the she-wolves were eager to see, whether they admitted to it or not. It was a test of one’s strength, agility, and skill. But it was also kind of more than that as it was a test of respect.And for someone like me who was still trying to gain a little respect from the she-wolfs and the pack as a whole, the challenge meant a lot to me.I stood at the edge of the training ground, my heart slamming hard against my chest, like it was informing me that it was fully ready to burst out at any moment from now, I watched how the tiger she wolves slowly gathered, talking excitedly among themselves in hush tones.Raven was beside me doing her routine stretch of her hands and rolling of her shoulders to warm herself off. Her

Claire’s PovThe air in the pack house was lighter than usual for the first time since I moved in. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement from the just concluded challenge, and every corner of the house was lit up with chatters and murmurs from the staff.Back in my room, I sighed in relief as I slumped onto the bed. My muscles ached from how badly I had strained them, every move I made sent a sharp pain, a reminder of what my body had endured.The herbal balm I had initially spread across my arms and legs was slowly working its magic, the cooling sensation it offered numbing the soreness of my muscles.Carefully, I went on with massaging the balm deeper into my shoulder. I winced slightly as I pressed the tender spots. The day has been a whirlwind of emotions for me, while my body was protesting with the pain I felt, my heart was very much racing from the thrill of victory I had managed to secure for myself.I had finally managed to hold my own, and I was proud of that. Even if Audrey

Claire’s PovI was sitting by the window, sipping a cup of steaming coffee and enjoying the stillness the morning offered when Darien burst into the room, his usual confident stride making it obvious to me that he had something on his mind to spill.I hadn't seen him much over the past few days, and I hope that the trend would continue so I get to have my peace of mind. But judging by his looks, he certainly had other plans today that were going to be a stark contrast to my peace of mind.“Claire, get up. We are training today,” he announced, crossing the room in quick strides.I frowned, setting my cup down in a slow manner as his statement registered in my head. “Training? I thought we had a break from all that?”Darien shook his head from side to side, a mischievous look in his eyes. “The pack might be in break, but that doesn't mean you are. You can't go sleeping around, you have to stay sharp.”“I’m still very much sore from the last session, Darien,” I protested, glancing down a
