All Chapters of Bowing to Silverclaw: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Samantha“Your warrior positions in my pack, in our pack, is sacred.” My voice carried through the dining cabin easily as I questioned my highest warriors on the stolen schematics and other records. “As such, your access in any Silverclaw and Newblood area, is not off limits.” I turned my back to them as I peered out of a window, and drummed my fingers on the wall.In the room with us were Angel, Nick, Damon, and Carlton, who was also the top warrior, in charge of trainings, and everything else involved with my warriors. “Alpha, we would never betray you. This is why we are your warriors.” Edgar spoke, his voice strained. Maybe due to my questioning, maybe due to betrayal, or maybe due to the idea of anyone betraying our pack. I wasn’t certain.“Yes, Edgar, I would have to agree with your statement. Unfortunately, everyone in Newblood is accepted based on their unhappiness and perceived unworthiness from other packs.” I turned back around to face my warriors once more. “I would assum

SamanthaDraegon’s mind was filled with images of me, kissing me, holding me, he had it bad. His thoughts further amplified a need to defend me, and the way he would like to tear apart Tristan for betraying the pack. Annoyance at Nick and how close he was to me, pride at becoming a capable warrior for Newblood.More images of me entangled with his body, but under even that I saw his complete admiration and awe of me. His pain at keeping his feelings hidden. Complete and utter loyalty, even if I had not chosen to accept his feelings or to reciprocate them.I removed my hands from his head and he looked up at me, his eyes were full of his devotion to me, to Silverclaw.“Draegon I—”“No. You don’t have to say anything Samantha. But you needed to know. I would fight and die for this pack, but even more, I would do it for you.” He stood up and caressed my cheek. The flood of emotions within me at what I saw, and the way he touched me, completely surprised me. Maybe I should have stopped h

SamanthaNick’s words stunned me into silence as I looked him in the eye. My world seemed to spin. How could he want to be Silverclaw?“Nick…you would have to denounce Dragonmoon…you’d never be the alpha of your pack. You’ve been groomed to take it over by Serburi.”“I know all of that. But you’re more of an alpha than I ever was Samantha. Silverclaw is important to me, I love you as much as the rest of your Silverclaw family.”“Nick, you don’t understand what you’re asking. Not really. Becoming Silverclaw changes us…” I faltered for the words to say. There were so many things that came with taking on the blood oath, much different than anyone could experience with any other oath bond.“Alpha,” Draegon came up to me and Nick before Nick could reply. He bowed deeply. “May I have this dance?”During my conversation with Nick, the music had taken a bit of a slower turn, in my eagerness to stop the conversation with Nick I agreed. Setting my beer on the table nearest to me, I let Draegon

Samantha“Sex?” Nick’s voice was even more confused than when we had begun.“When you take the Silverclaw oath, and name the family as yours, you have a very strong desire to be with Samantha, and her you.” Angel explained. “We had no idea at the time, she was messing with some chemicals and tech, managed to change her blood, even her very core. A blood oath was to give me similar abilities, and it did…but it did more than that.”Each of the Silverclaw members chuckled at Nick’s expression.He looked at Damon and Carlton. “But you’re both gay.”“Oh not for the first week after we became Silverclaw honey.” Damon answered and we all began laughing some more.“Even though you had mates?” Nick’s eyes were incredulous. “You brought them that pain of…of the betrayal?” He tried wrapping his mind around the concept, we could all tell.“That doesn’t happen with this.” Daniel took up the explanation. “After the bloodletting part of the oath, we actually become a more unified being. Our minds me

SamanthaIt was silent when we reached the abandoned factory, eerie. It didn’t bother me though, I would kill every last one of them if I needed to in order to get the schematics of Lykanthrope back. Sting was the absolute worst group to have access to something of this magnitude.All of Silverclaw was with me, as well as our sworn Barriers and 8 warriors that had shown the most promising growth since our retreat in Apalachicola. Draegon, Ashton, Venus, Stevie, Jeverah, Allen, Pope, and Thella. After the fiasco with her brother, Jeverah made many strides to prove herself loyal, and became stronger.Ashton, under Carlton’s wing, had gotten better since then also, and tonight, he was being tested. They all were. The evening sky was dancing with its colors, marking the end of the day. I had hoped Sting would be winding down, ending their day.The fact that some of their men were captured, meant I had little time before they attempted to move their location, or dispose of my property. I w
