All Chapters of Claimed by the Wildwoods Pack: Her Triad Fate : Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

TALEN returned to his cabin in a blind rage. How could the one woman who finally belonged with him leave? And BELLA’s reasons made no sense. A booty call.He slammed the door of his office open. A few of the gathered clan members eyed him with surprise. Though he was never the happiest of bears, he never growled openly without reason. He had a reason—they just didn’t know it.Men worked on putting the offices back together and fixing the broken walls, shattered glass, and furniture.DYLAN appeared from the glass exit that led to the forest, a deep frown creasing his brow.“We have a problem.”“Yeah, but what problem are you referring to?”DYLAN cocked his head. He motioned for TALEN to follow him outside. The two slipped past the working employees into the forest. There, a crowd of people had gathered.“My son,” one of the elder clan members, JENSEN, started, “is dead. I need to know why.”A second clan member, MERITA, had tears streaming down her face when she spoke.“You killed my c

TALEN wanted to kill the man with his hands on CASSIE. He didn’t. That in itself was hard enough. He didn’t give him a swift death because GERRI warned him she wouldn’t help him if he did.“MASSIMO,” GERRI said, the other guy’s name after he’d introduced himself while lifting an unconscious CASSIE into his arms. “Bring her inside and lay her on the sofa.”MASSIMO met TALEN’s gaze. “She’s just a friend.”TALEN’s bear didn’t give a fuck if he claimed to be just a friend. The other shifter was touching his mate. His. A mate that was expecting his child. Right now, he was having a hell of a time keeping the bear under control. He wanted to roar and tear MASSIMO limb from limb. He wanted to toss his lifeless body away from CASSIE.“Stop the growling, TALEN,” GERRI snapped. “You scared her into fainting. There’s something you don’t see every day.”MASSIMO snorted and stepped back once he placed CASSIE on the sofa. “It wasn’t him that shocked her as much as finding out she’s pregnant.”GERRI

TALEN took GERRI’s words to heart. He was going to show CASSIE how much he cared for her. He spent the night learning the “Internet” and searching for ideas to please his mate. He should have listened to DYLAN, but he’d been too pressed for time to learn anything about Earth females. Now he had to work with what he learned on their old-style information network. Everything would be a surprise for his love.She’d agreed to give him a chance to show her how much he truly cared for her and that he would make an effort to show a relationship could work for them. Not just sex-based, though they had that well under control.Bundled in winter-warm apparel, CASSIE parked in the community center’s parking lot. TALEN hurried out of the passenger seat to open her car door. He’d learned a lot about “dating” and “how to make your woman orgasm multiple times.” Most of it he already knew; some things about romance were new to him. Other stuff would come in handy for later, especially the sections on

CASSIE opened her eyes. She wasn’t sure where she was. Her brain registered TALEN’s scent, and she remembered she was in his bedroom, in his bed. The perfect place to be.She also sensed she was in a large space. The air felt different than in a normal house. Not to mention that it was can’t-see-your-hand-in-front-of-your-face dark. She reached out for a nightstand and maybe a lamp. After twisting the knob, her whereabouts came into view. Sorta.The light was dim, but she thought she was in a cave. The walls and ceiling were smooth and rounded, light gray in color. Not a corner in any part of the room. She must be dreaming. She distinctly remembered the front of the house and kitchen.Noise on the other side of the door drew her attention. Sounded like dishes and silverware clanging. She got out of bed and peeked out the door. A woman around her age stood at the kitchen’s island with a bowl of the most delicious smelling food in front of her. Man, was she starving. She’d make introduc

“Well, shit, you’re right.” Cassie paced the floor in GERRI’s apartment. “My dad is going to flip out. Like really shit an Easter egg.”“Cassie, your father can’t be that bad,” GERRI started. “I’m so glad you loved Aurora. I knew you would and you will be happy there.” She cleared her throat. “As far as your dad, you’re a grown adult, capable of making your own decisions.”“I know, but still.”TALEN walked into the room, tugging the dress shirt under his new suit. “How can humans wear this stuff?”Both GERRI and CASSIE laughed, then squealed.“TALEN, you look dashing in a suit and tie.”CASSIE winked at him. “Yeah, hot as hell if you ask me.”He pulled on his shirt collar. “Hot is right.”CASSIE grabbed his arm. “Stop whining. Dad will respect you more if you talk. If you’re on his level, then everything will be better.”A few hours later, CASSIE pushed the doorbell of her father’s house.She remembered the concern in her father’s voice when she called him earlier asking if she and an
