All Chapters of The Bloodmoon Claim: Chapter 11 - Chapter 17

Ulric’s POV:She has read it by now. I can feel it in my bones as Fenrir paces restlessly in my head, silent but impatient since she woke.Fenrir, down! I growl in my mind.Fenrir claws at my conscience. I am not your dog. I am your equal. Remember, Ulric. I will not warn you. We are both one Alpha.I submit silently.Since Maya entered my territory, the air smells different, her scent attaching itself to every corner of my house. I can sense the shifts in her emotions, and I no longer smell fear.I stand by the tall window of my study, looking toward the guest wing where she is staying, the distance meaningless to my senses and changing nothing about what she is to me.She is mine.I say it softly because speaking it aloud would be dangerous; someone could sense weakness and strike.A knock at the door confirms what I already know.“Enter.”Derick Blackwood steps inside. My Beta doesn’t bother with formalities when we are alone, closing the door behind him and leaning casually agains

Fenrir’s POV:The night belongs to me. I feel the cold air cutting through my fur as I run. Dirt goes flying as my paws hit the ground. The forest blurs around me in streaks of shadow and silver moonlight. This feels like victory. I feel victorious.And on my back?Mine.What I feel can only be described as ecstasy. There are no other words for it. I can feel Ulric’s joy flowing through me like blood in my veins.She trusts us. I let Ulric know.Nothing else matters now. She trusts us. All I care about is her sitting there without fear and laughing instead of screaming.Mine. I cherish you, Maya. I say to myself, letting out a low growl unintentionally.She barely notices. I can hear her laughing and screaming on my back. Her fingers are tangled in my fur, her chin resting slightly on the back of my neck.This is happiness.Her laughter echoes through the woods. That is probably the most dangerous sound I have ever heard.Now I know that I will destroy anyone or anything that tries to

Cole’s POV:Those fucking idiots.A growl tears from my throat as I pace back and forth across Madam Sherry’s office.They were only supposed to scout the area. Watch and report. Nothing more. Instead, those uneducated imbeciles decided it would be a good idea to attack the Alpha of the very territory they were infiltrating.I should have gone myself.I wouldn’t have been caught.The door creaks open behind me followed by the clicking of heavy heels against tile.Madam Sherry.I’m in serious trouble.She moves past me without a word and slides gracefully into her leather chair. I position myself in front of her desk, already running through possible explanations, possible solutions, anything that might salvage the situation. I open my mouth to speak.She raises one finger.Silence.“I don’t want to hear it, Cole,” she says coldly.“They didn’t follow orders, Sherry. This isn’t on me,” I say, trying to keep my voice steady.“It doesn’t matter now, you idiot!” she snaps, slamming both h

Maya’s POVUlric enrages me.First, he buys me like a doll.Then he convinces me I am his equal.And just as I start to believe him… he reminds me exactly how much control he has, making sure I understand that I am beneath him.He is such a hypocrite.He is so… aggravating.He smells so good.His hands are so warm.My breath catches as I remember the way he touched me earlier. Before I can stop myself, my hands slip between my thighs as the memory replays in my head.My traitorous body reacting to a man I am not even sure I trust.Footsteps entering the dining room snap me out of my thoughts.I quickly pull my hands away.I am still wearing my night dress.It’s Ulric.His eyes immediately darken.“Maya… where are your clothes?” he asks sharply.“What do you mean? I'm eating my cereal,” I say casually, shoving a spoonful of Frooty Puffs into my mouth.“You cannot sit here like that,” his voice rises. “Not dressed like that, Maya.”“Why not?” I ask, crunching loudly. “This is my house t
