Claire X Leon Novels & Stories

broken and ruined. "What happened, Klaire? Why was she so angry? Why did she almost kill you this time?" Klaire avoided my eyes at first while biting her lip and my stomach dropped. "Klaire. What happened?" I asked in a serious tone and she shut her eyes. "She... She found out what I've been hiding. She found out that Alpha Leonel and I were secretly meeting each other." And just like that, my heart turned cold and I stood up. "So it's because of that assh*le?" I asked and clenched my fists as I breathed faster and harder.

The group of princesses behind me made a squeal as the young man sauntered out of the crowd into the clearing in the middle of the hall. “Deucalion,” I whispered, looking at the selected prince. I couldn’t see most of him from where I stood, but he had beautiful black hair just like Valerian just longer, reaching almost his waist. He wore a red jacket over a pair of red trousers. He caught my stare, and I instinctively turned back to the announcer. He pulled a parchment from the second box and having already been caught staring at the handsome prince, the thought of having the dance with him was no longer appealing.

Leo finally replied. “Agreed,” Arsen answered firmly. "Ahem… so here’s the thing. Actually, Claire is a college student who moved here a year ago from… umm… I heard it was Canada. Or was it Florida? I don’t know. But at first, everything was fine. Until one day, someone tried to harm Claire—you know, rape her. But unfortunately, the man failed—I don’t know who saved her. Then a few days later, the man who tried to rape Claire was found dead. An eyewitness saw that the one who killed him was a girl who looked like Claire, but she appeared more beautiful and cruel, dressed all in black.” Leo paused his story and took a sip of his nearly empty bourbon.

I roamed my eyes around, looking for the blonde, and fortunately, she is with Cassidy at the back. --- It's finally for my final performance. And I'm so freaking nervous, and it's because she is here. Damn, stay calm, Claire. Just be yourself. And right now, you are XCeed. You are confident and brave. Yeah, that's right. "Alright, Everyone! As promised, since this is the first Saturday of the month, here's my version of Sorry Not Sorry." I said through the loud mic, and I saw that everyone's attention is now on me.

And Chloe had slit her own wrist just to bring me here to witness his submission. Chloe sneered, looking down her nose at me. “I don't care about your choices, Noah. But your mother, Emily Quinn, is the Grand Mistress of the Lunar Arts. If this female thinks she can sit at the head of the Quinn pack table, she should at least know how to read the ancient runes, shouldn't she?” “I didn't realize Dr. Mercer’s little boyfriend was the heir to the Quinn lineage,” Talia whispered loudly from Cole’s side, her sharp teeth showing in a grin. “The Quinns and the Hursts practically run the Kinton territories.”

Until I was standing by the group of men. They became a blur, but I could see Leon as he came forward to where I stood, inching forever closer until I felt that I shouldn't move. Then his lips brushed lightly against my cheek in greeting, quick and soft. "Isn't this a surprise?" My dad said, "Leon's in the city, came on his own!" A surprise? It was a surprise to see him inside my house. I couldn't even feel my hands. Softly I cleared my throat, and Leon's green eyes caught mine in something that resembled a dare. It sparked a tempered flame inside of me.

“Claire, why are you playing the lead in a Giant Entertainment movie? Why not work with your husband’s company?” “I’m not with Jason anymore. So anything I do has nothing to do with him or DA Group,” she said clearly. One of the reporters recognized Leon and asked, “You’re Mr. Leon, right? Are you dating your best friend’s ex-wife now?” Leon gave a calm smile. “I’m Claire’s manager,” he replied simply. “And as you’ve just heard, Claire and Jason are divorced. So there’s no drama, no broken friendship, and nothing romantic going on here. Everything’s fine.”

I shot him a grateful look, and he gave me a small, encouraging smile in return. Claire’s eyes flickered between us. With a coy smirk, like a cat watching a mouse skitter into a trap, she turned her attention back to Leon. “You’re so lucky, Leon, to have such incredible people around you. It’s so hard to find someone as extraordinary as you, isn’t it? Truly one in a million.” Leon’s jaw tightened again, but he didn’t take the bait. Instead, he leaned back in his chair, his expression unreadable.

She lifted one of her front legs and looked at it with uncontrollable anxiety. Her heart seemed to stop. Her breathing stopped. The world seemed to collapse as young Vione discovered the truth. She did not have claws. *

Damn, nosy males. Stepping out of the shower, I wrapped myself in a towel, then wrapped my hair in another one. I grabbed my old paddle brush and went to sit down at the vanity. I kinda wish we could link Cleo. I would like to talk with her more. I liked her, Aura said. Yea. I think we can still link Blaine and Lainee since we're still in their pack, I retorted. Yes! Let's try it! She replied excitedly.
