All Chapters of Claiming The Alpha: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Elara’s POVFrom the corner of my eye, I watched the shoe lace hanging on the floor, just at the edge of the shelf.For a bunch of Alphas, they needed to work on their stealth skills.“I would rather one of you come forward and tell me what you are thinking rather than staring at me like creeps.”My brothers flushed at being caught, coming out from behind the shelf one after the other.“W-What are you talking about, Ellie?” Leo said, walking to me where I sat on the floor in section 16B of the library. “We just got here.”I gave him an unimpressed look. “You think I would not notice three Alphas entering a room at the same time?”Ronan sat at my side, shaking his head. “Most people would not, not while we are hiding our strengths…then again, you are our sister. You have sharper senses than most people.”“Or you just have elephant feet and are refusing to admit it,” I muttered, my attention returning to my book.After waiting five minutes in silence, I spoke again. “It would be great i

Elara’s POV“Alpha has left the borders,” Cain said.My eyes remained closed as I continued my meditation. “Why are you telling me?”I could feel him come to sit beside me. “Isn’t it a mate thing to want to know where the other is?”“He slept in his office to avoid being in the same mansion as me,” I muttered.“It means he cannot control himself around you.”I opened my eyes. “Or it is the mate bond at work, forcing us together. He treats me like an eyesore now. Imagine what it would have been like if we had no connection to each other.”Cain was quiet for too long.“What is it?”“Your eyes,” he whispered. “What color are they usually when you shift into your wolf?”“Same blue. Just darker,” I replied. “Why?”His index raised, pointing between my eyes. “They look red now.”My brows furrowed as I reached for my phone. Just from the black screen, I could see my eyes were an unnatural color.The back door of the house opened and Leo came outside. He had barely taken two steps when he sni

Elara’s POV“Listen to me,” I said to the people behind me, my focus not breaking from our assassins. “You all are going to run into that pack house.”“But the men are in front of us. Should we not run away?”“There is no way out of this but forward. The moment we turn our backs to them, we are dead. If we try to shift?” My hand moved to the arrow wound in my arm. “I feel like we would die even faster.”“So what do we do, Miss Vale?”The little boy from earlier.“I will hold them off. When I tell you to run, you run.”“Are we doing this or are you going to keep on having your pack meeting?” the assassin in the middle jeered.I stepped forward. “I will come willingly…but these people happened to be caught in the crossfire. Would you let them go? It is not like you are being paid to kill them.”“Holy shit. She knows we are assassins,” the one on the left said.“Idiot. Of course she does. She would know if we were from her former pack. She was the Luna, remember?” the one on the right sn

Elara’s POVIf it was possible for the night to get any quieter, it just did.I blinked, replaying Alpha Kaden’s words in my head.He claimed me. He just claimed me in front of hundreds of people.Asher bounced back quickly. “Are you trying to deceive me? All of a sudden, she is your mate and–”“Are you calling my mind muddled or my senses dull that I cannot tell who is and who is not my mate?” Alpha Kaden retorted.Asher was insistent. “To resort to such low methods to keep another man’s woman in your…Elara Blackwood, what the hell are you doing?!”My eyes flitted to Asher and then back to Alpha Kaden.I snuggled deeper into his chest, unable to help myself. “You smell amazing,” I muttered, sniffing him shamelessly.Something akin to desire flashed behind the Alpha’s eyes. “You are injured…let me see your arm.”I leaned back enough, raising my arm for him to examine it.“You broke off the arrow?” he asked. His fingers held me with a gentleness I did not believe he possessed.“It’s di

Elara’s POV“Do you know that everyone is betting on how soon you and Alpha are going to have kids?”Harry’s facial expression made me snort. “A chance to make thousands of dollars without trying? Definitely.”“How soon did you bet?”“Two years,” he said, taking another big gulp of his beer. “Soon enough that no pack elders come knocking at the door. Late enough that he has to work for it.”“Work for it?”The idea felt so foreign. I could not picture the Alpha ever working for anything, much less me.I had zero leverage in this relationship. He could kick me out and I would be able to do nothing about it.“Do you know your Alpha at all, Harry?”We laughed and continued to sip on alcohol that I was ninety percent sure that I was not supposed to be having.The after-party of the mating rites ceremony continued around us, everyone seeming to avoid the little bubble Harry and I were in.Not complaining though. I enjoyed the solitude.“Luna, Alpha keeps looking at us,” Harry commented. “I
