All Chapters of The New Wolf: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

When David woke up Clara was fast asleep. He heard her tossing all night so he tried to sneak out without disturbing her. He really screwed up yesterday and knew it. Last night was supposed to be her night. He assumed she wouldn't want the mark anymore, but then in the kitchen she still did. He replayed the moment over and over in his head. He should have put the food down and followed her then and there, but he thought if he didn't have at least something in his stomach he wouldn't have had the energy he wanted to give her. He grabbed his phone. There was still no call from James. He dialed the number for the umpteenth time and again nobody answered. There was no way Lucas could have won. He tried to think about how the council would notify everyone a new alpha was named. Over the past twenty-six years he couldn't remember a challenge happening. Deciding it was best for Clara to

Clara was in a fog. Every member of her pack soaked in the words David was saying, but she couldn't pay attention to anything. "They out number us, but that doesn't mean they can beat us. When they attack we will be victorious." The crowd cheered. "Stop," Clara said. The cheering dies down and all eyes turned to her. She stood up and walked next to David. "The past week you've shown me what it is like to have a family. I won't let any of you get hut on my account. There is only one answer." "That's not an answer," David said. "You're our Luna!" Someone from the crowd yelled. "I'll gladly die for Clara or anyone else here," another added. There was another round of cheers. 

Suzy and Lucas stopped talking. Clara slipped her hand in her pocket and pulled out her phone. She tried her hardest to hide the movement, but couldn't tell if they were watching her or not. She kept the phone close to her face and sent a text message to David. Suzy drugged James. Fight was rigged. She kept her eyes glued to the screen, a response came back almost immediately. I'm coming to save you. "What's that noise?" Lucas asked. Clara started typing fast. This is my fault. Please hurry.Don't blame yourself. Stay strong. "What is she doing back there?" Lucas' voice filled the van.Clara heard the grate move. She erased all her messages."She's got a phone." Suzy reached down to snatch the phone away, but Clara grabbed the girl's arm and yanked her to the floor. Clara forced herself up and ran

The sky was pitch black. Once the car crossed the boundary David didn't slow down. Both he and James had been silent for hours. All of the worries pushed against David's skull, but he kept them out. They gained ground, they were minutes if not seconds behind Clara. She would be safe. "Stop here," James said. "The car won't make it. We need to go the rest of the way on foot." David parked next to the van. He forced the image of Clara in the window out of his mind. He was here. He would save her. The two men got out of the car and sprinted up the mountain to the lodge. David remembered taking this walk in reverse the first night he met Clara. Going up was much more difficult. David knew trespassing like this was wrong. The way Lucas operated he half expected snipers in the trees. If he were killed tonight

Clara's blood was almost alcoholic, Lucas ran his tongue over his mouth over and over, not wanting to waste a single drop. He had no desire to fight James tonight, but not everyone agreed with Clara being here and some believed James' claim about being drugged. That would mean a council member would be called and days waiting. It was clear James was still weak from the previous beating. Once Lucas took him out again the pack would see his true power and he would never risk being questioned again. Another drop of her blood touched his tongue and his heart pounded. She would give him the strength to beat James. "Since there are no council members present the challenger and the Alpha have agreed on me to referee," Travis, a mid-level pack member, said. "There is no shifting allowed. Other than that, everything is fair. Start on my call." "Good luck old man." Lucas turned his attenti
