Mate or God?

"Kill me," I said in an affirmed tone. I look back to find Colby sadly looking at me. One look, and I knew that he was the only one who understood me. His silent tonight's said it all. Shawn broke down on his knees in front of me. "What do you want me to do?" he begs me through his tears. "Nothing, because even if you die tonight, it would never take away the pain I am going through," I sadly told him and, my tears betrayed me. Like a waterfall, they keep flowing down to my cheek. The pain in my chest increases and my heart hurts like hell. There's only one thing running through my head, 'I have to let everything I have been feeling out of my being.' "I was an outcast when I was young. My parents never really loved or cared for me. Their whole attention was on my elder sister. I tried very hard to live up to their standards but nothing I did ever made them love me. Our pack never let me in on anything, even when I thought somebody cared. In the end, they only used me for their cho

Alpha Colby's POV I keep looking at the rearview mirror between Shawn and Claire. Today's surprise was unexpected. No one was expecting Jenna to be here out in the woods. I glance at her side and found Claire smiling widely while closing her eyes as she took in the breeze. Her strong scent as a human filled our car and Shawn on the other side keeps on stealing glances in her way and I could feel anxiety through our pack link. Letting out a heavy sigh I shook my head and clear my throat before saying something. "So Sr. Claire," I start and she instantly whips her head back and looks in my way with a smile. "What brings you out here?" I ask and she fiddle with her fingers before softly speaking. "Our Mother superior sent me to help out with Mr. Odega's health. He lives in Clearwood." I squint my brow in the mentioning of Mr. Odega's and my pack's name. Jerry Odega is one of the prominent elders in our Pack. Yes, Clearwood is our pack's name. Shawn gave me a questioning look in whi

Hanna's POV (Claire's Mother) Flashback Slap! "Mom" Another slap stung her cheek and Jenna gasped. She blinked back a tear but it escaped and slid down her cheek. A prolonged and general silence filled the room for a second. No one dares to speak up. My mate Joziah stood there with his clenched fist. He was so close to losing his anger. Sophie's small cries break the silence and her boyfriend Ken who stood on the other side of the couch moved to comfort her. "Why?" she asked. "Why do you treat me like this?" her voice broke and another tear slid down her face. "You don't get to talk to your sister like that. You should be happy for her," I scolded Jenna who still stood there speechless with her left hand on her cheek and tears falling down her face. Not feeling any remorse towards her I said, "admit it! That you are just jealous of your sister. You could not stand her around people. You do not like the fact that she's prettier than you and she's way better than you." "What d

Jenna/ Sr. Claire's POV 'I think people in this town are not normal,' I keep telling myself as I sit there in Mr. Odega's home with my fingers fiddling together and eyes wandering around the house. I am waiting for him as he went upstairs to change. Mr. Odega after pulling me out of the room brought me straight to his home. There was no one here except a maid and his driver. His house is three blocks away from the house of Mr. McCarthy. It's a modern designed house from the outside but inside, it is filled with those classic antiques. There's a huge transformation of the outside from the inside of his home. It feels like you are back in those days when you live accordingly to etiquette. Except for the huge wolf's portrait on the hall that growls with blood dripping from its teeth, sort of scaring me a little. It feels like the wolf is watching me while I sat there alone. From what I see around this town, the people sure are obsessed with wolves. "Oh no, what if they are wolves...

Jenna/Sr. Claire "Would you be so kind to take Sr. Claire around for a tour?" Colby ask Shawn which made me sigh in relief. I try to wipe away the sweat on my forehead. 'God! why am I overthinking the situation in McCarthy's home? I look at Shawn and he looks conflicted as to if he doesn't want to take me around. I bet if I was an ordinary woman he would take the chance but since I am a woman of God and look ordinary he doesn't seem to be interested. 'Men' I thought in my head. "Colby, I am sorry but I have things to do. I think Hailey should do it" Shawn replied. Hailey stiffens in her seat, her smile looks forced. She glances at Shawn and I can see her gritting teeth through the smile. The moment became awkward. Luckily the children came running into the living room alleviating the tension and awkwardness in here. Sora exclaimed when her eyes meet mine. She came running to me excitedly. She hugs me and I let her sit on my lap. I glance at Hailey who looks at us with a frown
