Claiming The Alpha의 모든 챕터: 챕터 71 - 챕터 80

Kaden's POVThe warriors were waiting in front of the hall when we arrived.Their eyes immediately fell to Elara.“Luna, did you come to join the morning training?” Johnson asked.Elara smiled cheerily at him and grabbed my arm. “No, I came to watch. My mental bank of my shirtless mate covered in sweat was getting a bit outdated.”The area for at least three miles went quiet.Elara, clearly pretending not to notice, kept talking. “I mean, I have seen him shirtless often but shirtless and covered in sweat is a rare sight. Unfortunately, the air conditioning in our bedrooms are quite powerful so we don’t sweat so much when we–nngh.”My hand covered her mouth, my eyes narrowing to slits.What the hell was she saying? Was she trying to embarrass me in front of my pack members?Despite the anger radiating off of me, her eyes twinkled with mischief.Her hand raised to my chest, her nails scraping gently. Her teasing touch only sent sparks of pleasure to my brain and my body was starting to

Elara's POVThe moment I closed the door of my apartment behind me, my knees buckled.I caught myself on my arms, just before I hit my head on the floor.“Ugh…this is so difficult,” I said, falling onto my back.Flirting all day with Kaden, pretending to be this bold seductress. It was beyond exhausting.Why are you whining? It’s working, Anika said in my head.“So?” I asked out loud. “Worst case scenario and he goes to bed, thinking that I am a shameless whore.”And the best-case scenario?I did not dare bring myself to hope.There was a knock on the door of my apartment. I shuffled forward by a foot or two before yelling for the person to come in.Ronan opened the door and poked his head in. “I knew I heard something weird. Why are you on the floor?”“My legs cannot carry me right now,” I replied. “What’s up? It is a bit late.”He stepped out of the way. “The little ones wanted to see you.”Liam and Penny’s little heads peeked out from behind Ronan’s legs. When I looked at them for

Elara’s POVI sat up in my bed, my eyes blinking slowly in confusion at the sunlight streaming through the windows.“What time is it?” I asked Hilda.“Noon, Luna,” she replied casually.I poked my finger in my ear, rubbing it. “I could swear I heard you say noon.”Hilda nodded, lifting my bedside clock for me to see. “It is two minutes past twelve, Luna.”This would be the first time in months, no years, maybe even a decade that I slept in this late.“Why did you not wake me up?” I asked, getting out of bed. Why did I feel sore all over?“Alpha told us not to wake you in the morning.”Kaden? Kaden told them not to…Oh. He must have knocked me out when we sparred during training. No wonder I felt sore.“I would have rather left you to sleep, Luna, but the monthly meeting is today,” she added.My brows furrowed in confusion. “What monthly meeting?”“The monthly meeting that Alpha has with the officials and elders.”“And what does that have to do with me?”“Alpha requires that you show u

Elara’s POVAs expected, Harry flew into a rage.“He’s twenty-six, Sandra!” Harry yelled, pointing at Romero, who was lounging back on the couch.Sandra pushed back against her brother’s chest. “I know but he’s hot. You know I like older men.”“An eight-year age gap is a lot.” He turned to Romero. “She’s a fucking teenager, you pervert!”“So what?” Romero replied dismissively.“So what? So what?!” Harry pulled up his sleeves. “I swear I am going to wipe that dirty mouth–”“Harry, that’s enough,” I said.Harry paused. “Luna…”“They are mates. There is only so much you can do to keep them apart. Besides, I know Romero and I have his mother’s number. If he hurts her, I will pay for your ticket to Spain out of my personal funds.”Romero threw his hands in the air, getting to his feet. “See, problem solved.”He palmed Sandra’s ass right in front of all of us. “Pack your bags, mi amor. The plane leaves tonight.”Sandra pouted, playing with his shirt. “I want to celebrate with my girls for a

Kaden’s POVI recoiled as the scent of blood hit my nose. “What the hell?”Kaden’s eyes narrowed at the scene in front of him.A young wolf stood over the body of an aged woman, her hand in his mouth.“Shift,” Kaden ordered.I scanned the body of the wolf. His fur was bristled, covered in blood like he had just shifted for the first time.“Kaden.” I held his arm. “I think he just shifted for the first time and lost control–”“Shift,” Kaden ordered again.Rather than submit, the wolf started to growl at Kaden, dropping into fighting stance as he prepared to lunge forward.Shit. He was challenging his Alpha. This was going to end badly.My grip tightened around Kaden’s arm. “Kaden, wait. I don’t think he realizes what is–”Before my words were out of my mouth, the wolf lunged forward. His jaw opened and caught Kaden’s hand right in its mouth.Kaden’s fingers clenched inside the wolf’s mouth, digging into his mouth. The wolf yelped and darted away.In a split second, Kaden’s clothes shre
