All Chapters of The Forbidden Claim: Three Alphas, One Luna: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Caleb's massive form loomed in the wide-open iron door of the dungeon cell.The choking scent of ash and pine needles burned through the bitter air, clashing with Kaelen's black ice and cedar."I asked you a question, brother," Caleb drawled, entering the dimly lit cell bathed in moonlight. His amber gaze snared Kaelen's bloodied hand, before flicking to the silver hunting dagger I still clutched in my shaking fist. "What kind of blood pact are you making with Father's little thief?"Kaelen didn't move out of the way. He stood in front of me, his muscular shoulders blocking my view. A menacing growl began to rumble in his chest."Leave, Caleb," Kaelen growled, his voice a deadly rumble. "It's pack business. She stole my shit. I will handle it."Caleb laughed bitterly and echoed off the walls."Pack business?" Caleb sneered, stepping another slow, deliberate step forward. He sniffed, his nose wrinkling. The smirk on his scarred face suddenly fell away, replaced by a predatory glint. "T

The air in the penthouse was no longer just heavy; it was combustible.My blood was actually boiling, beneath my skin. My first heat had snared me out of the blue, tearing through my blood like a raging, boiling torrent of liquid fire. It burned away all the sane, reasonable thoughts I had left and replaced them with a primitive, spewing terror. I held to the dark silk sheets of Kaelen‘s king-sized bed, my fistgrip turning white, when a hideous gasp escaped me.The air was filled with the smell of blooming moon flowers and wild honey, heavy, fragrant and addictive.It was a beacon. A biological siren song wanting to be taken.Around the bed, the three deadliest Alphas in the Obsidian Claw pack had completely lost their human masks. Their irises had vanished entirely, swallowed by the blinding, feral gold of their inner wolves. They were panting, their broad chests heaving in unison, completely entranced by the scent of a pureblood Luna ready to be mated.“Moon Goddess” Caleb announced

CRACK.The hidden chamber resounded with deafening noise when Silas used his massive silver battleaxe to destroy the mahogany wood door. The wood splinters fell from above me and one sharp fragment struck my cheek to leave a thin cut.The blade stopped just short of reaching my face.The Lycan executioner made his first attempt to pull back his axe when the entire penthouse broke out into brutal combat.Kaelen made his decision to attack without any pause after he considered the possible results of attacking the King’s highest enforcer. The eldest heir performed a jump across the floor which contained broken glass. He struck Silas with the force of a freight train that carried pure muscle and black ice.The force of impact sent the seven-foot Lycan to crash backward into the weighty leather armchair while his battleaxe slipped from his hand and crashed onto the wooden floor."TREASON!" Alpha King Thorne shouted as his face transformed into a deadly, murderous expression of disbelief.

The moss beneath me was damp and freezing, but my skin was a blazing inferno.My back arched off the forest floor as a ragged gasp tore from my throat. The pain of the heat was no longer just an ache; it was a physical tearing inside my chest, an ancient, biological demand that was threatening to rip my sanity apart. The sweet, overwhelming scent of moonflowers and wild honey flooded the secluded clearing, completely drowning out the damp earth and pine.Kaelen used his enormous hands to hold my exposed thighs while his long fingers pressed down on my burning flesh. His blue eyes appeared completely blocked by his eyes which were feral and starving. Caleb and Jace remained motionless above him because they were breathing heavily while their fangs had fully extended. The animals existed at their highest point of danger while my Luna aura kept them under control.The group desired my presence. They wanted me all the way. The group waited until their Queen would give them permission to p

The horizon bled a bruised, violent purple as we tore through the ancient northern woods.Time was evaporating. Each of my blistering paws pounding the earth in the woods gave me a second until the sun rose. I was the fastest one of them—because I was a pureblood Lycan, and I was panicking as much as I was afraid.“Faster!” my inner wolf roared, her voice reverberating through the silver knots in our blood bond.Three deadly Alpha wolves stood on either side of me - Kaelen was midnight black, Caleb was rugged and dark brown, and Jace was sleek and stormy grey. Vane and his four bipedal, towering Lycan warriors were right behind them, thunderous footsteps shaking the ground beneath us.With nine against 300. For any rational wolf, a suicide mission.But when the tall black marble spires of the Obsidian Claw packhouse finally broke out of the trees, I didn't have any sense of reason left."Form the wedge!" A gravelly voice bellowed from a distance, out of earshot, as if in dreams.There
