All Chapters of Claimed By Fate: The Alpha's Salvation : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

GWENThe black SUV rumbled down the road. I sat down in the back seat, my bruised hands resting on my laps wrapped in bandages.No one spoke.The driver, a silent Omega, hadn't said a word since leaving the border. I didn't mind. The silence gave me room to think.The mystic pack. Remote. Strict. Cold, and ruled by Alpha Conan. I'd never seen him, but stories travelled fast.He'd lost his mate four years. Some said he’d gone half feral.Now I was being sent to him. Not as a maid, but as a guest.A surrogate.I thought about my family. I lost my mom during an attack on the pack by rouges. My dad died not long after, he was unable to bear the thought of his mate not being with me. That's how sacred the mate bond is.Just before sunset, we arrived at the Mystic Pack. Waiting outside was a tall male with black hair streaked with Grey. He had a military posture.The door opened and I stepped out.“Gwendolyn, I presume?” He asked, offering a hand “Gwen actually.” I replied quietly.“I'm Be

GWENWhen I opened my eyes, the fire was almost out. A calm morning light filtered through the curtains, soft and gray. I turn to the other side of the bed. It was empty.He was gone.A dull ache throbbed between my legs, and I winced as I sat up slowly, wrapping the sheet around me. My body was sore, tender in places that hadn't been touched before.Alpha Conan hadn't kissed me. Not once. There was no emotional connection last night. He just took what was needed, what was agreed. That was what I was here for, wasn't it?A surrogate Not a mate. Not a lover. Not a choice.I stared at the ceiling and let the truth settle over me like cold water. I’d given my virginity to a man who didn't even want to see me in the morning.Because I was Nothing more than a duty.A Knock came at the door.I stayed still, bracing.It wasnt the Omega from yesterday.“Lady Gwen?” She called softly“Come in” I say, my voice barely above a whisper.She stepped inside with a tray of tea and warm bread. Her f

GWEN“Alpha,” I whispered, voice breathless. I wanted him, just as much as he wanted me. He looked down at me, tortured heat burning in his black gaze.I rose onto my toes, pressing my naked body against his sweat- dampened chest. The feel of him, solid and trembling, sent waves of need cascading through me. I slid my fingers into his thick hair and drew his head down, my lips brushing his in a kiss that started off soft and reverent, but quickly deepened, my body arching closer. A deep growl rumbled from his throat, and then he took complete control of the kiss. It was raw, hungry and rough. I took his hand, my fingers trembling with hunger, with a need I didn't know I could feel, and guided it down between my thighs, until his rough palm met the sleek needy heat of my core.He froze, breath shuddering, his now clear blue eyes looking into mine, indicating that he had gotten back control from his Wolf. “Are you sure?” He asked, voice hoarse against my lips.I kissed him harde

GWEN“I was born to two warriors. I said slowly. “They were fierce, honored and respected. So I was told.”Alpha Conan's brows furrowed, listening intently now.“They died when I was eight. Protecting the Alpha's son during the old border war against the rogue packs from the North. The stories said they never backed down.”I swallowed hard. Something in me clenched. I hadn't spoken about this part of my life aloud in years. “The pack took me in,” I went on. “ But not as one of their own, or even as the daughter of heroes. Just… another mouth to feed. Another problem to manage.”I forced my voice steady. “They put me to work early. Cleaning, serving and basically turned me into a maid. ‘Keep your head down, Gwen,’ they used to say. ‘ You are lucky we let you stay at all.’”Conan's jaw twitched, but he did not interrupt.“I was never allowed near the Warriors wing. Never permitted to train, not even when I turned twelve and my Wolf began to stir. They said I had my mother's eyes but n

GWEN“If you’re just here to carry the Alpha’s pup, why are you acting like you’re here to replace his Luna?”“I’m sorry?” I asked, keeping my tone calm.You think because you’re lying in the Alpha’s bed, that makes you Luna?”The words felt like a slap to my face.“I never said I was—”“You didn’t have to. You train with the Beta, whisper with Raya like you’ve been here for years. You’re just a surrogate. Don’t forget what you’re here for.”Several pack members looked away, suddenly interested in their food. But some stared openly. Waiting. Testing.I stood, spine straight, hands loose at my sides.“I have no desire to take anyone’s place,” I said clearly. “And especially not the place of a woman this pack loved and lost.”That seemed to surprise her. But I didn’t stop.“I am not here to replace. I am here to stand where I’ve been placed.” I let the words land like stone. “If the Moon Goddess wills my presence in this pack, who are you to question it?”The silence was deafening.That
