Chapter 100
Claire's POV
My Mother bursts out in tears, this is only the second time I've seen her cry for them. Usually I would say she's acting but for her brother she wouldn't, she hides her sadness from us. I wonder if she would cry for me. My dad holds her and Beverly runs her hands through her hair and sighs.
"Thank you Sonia, that's good to know" he says clutching to his mate, at least I know they love each other. For some reason seeing them love each other makes me feel a little better knowing I came from that, even if they probably wish I didn't.
"I'll walk you out" I tell her and smiles softly
I walk her to the door and she nods "I'm really sorry this happened to you and your family" she says and opens the door, cool air breezing through the opening
"but the new alpha seems very kind, a little standoffish and quiet but loyal and strong, he'll be a good alpha" she says and I don't know how to respond
"Yes of course" I nod and she smiles and waves, closing the door behind her
I turn to my family to see them paying no attention to me, I don't think it would be wise of me to ask if I can go out. I turn to the door and walk out into the sweet fresh air, making my tight chest relax a little. I breath in the air as much as I can, feeling the warmth of day tingle my skin.
When I open my eyes I instantly feel the need to run back inside. I see Alpha Martin talking to Sonia, she smiles and nods at him as she speaks, his face is calm and a small polite smile tugs at his lips. I try to slip away when I see Sonia wave goodbye to him, hoping I could walk over to Scars house unseen.
"Claire!" I hear a deep spine chilling voice call out my name and I fight to correct him...but the way his lips say my name...
I freeze standing in the grass and hope I disappear. But I turn to him praying he won't say something that will hurt me, I had enough yesterday.
"Where are you going?" He asks as he steps near me, his muscular body is covered in a tight black shirt and jeans that hug his long legs. He looks down on me and steps an inch closer, so close I feel his warm breath fan across my face. I look up into his gold eyes, not allowing myself to be intimidated, I'm tired of being scared of him.
"I'm going to see my friends" I tell him
His eyebrows crease in their usual way and I almost take a step back "who?" He asks
"Lawrence and Tara, it's Lawrence's 18th birthday" I say calmly
"Absolutely not" he growls and I jump at his words
"How dare you. I'm allowed to see my friends" I stand up taller, anger taking over my fear of him
"don't worry Lawrence has no interest in me or producing any weak offspring for you pack" I hint at his message from yesterday and fight to roll my eyes
His eyes bulge with anger
"Don't ever say that again!" He demands, his body now tense and his eyes darkening, his strong wolf showing through
Instinctively I feel the need to shutter and turn away but for a split second I feel equal to him "why? You practically said it yesterday, don't worry it won't happen with anyone in your pack" I tell him
"You're right, it won't" he tells me, taking me by surprise....so that really was what he meant
I turn away from him, not wanting him to see my eyes tear up. I shouldn't care about his opinion but I do, so much it scares me.
"Is that why you were crying last night?" His voice is much softer, the softest I've ever heard him speak
"Does it matter?" I ask my voice cracking at the end but all the same sounding angered
"Of course, I apologise, it was not my intention to make you cry...I'm not good at this and I don't think you understand" he says running a hand through his lush dark hair
"I think I understand just fine, my sister explained, I didn't need to hear it again" I turn from him1l
I feel him grab my arm lightly, I look at him surprised at his gingerness for such a strong and powerful man
"Claire please, if you go with him I won't be able to contain myself" he frowns at me, his gold eyes pleading me not to move from his touch
My eyes widen and I feel like putty in his hands, my legs going slack from under me at his words.
"I'm sorry" I whisper, entranced by him and emotion filled stare
"I have to go" I tell him and hesitantly and reluctantly pull my arm from his warm, soothing grasp
His arm goes slack and he frowns, defeated at my words. I'm surprised at myself to not follow the rules the alpha had given me, usually wolfs must obey. I fight the urge to turn back and ask what he meant by his plea for me not to go, but I shake my head and turn to Tara's house. From the events of yesterday and now just now I don't know what to think. What did he mean I didn't understand? Was there more? And why didn't he want me to leave him and go to Lawrence?
I'm snapped from my haze when Tara runs up to me
"hi!" She says happily, supper giddy like
I smile trying to forget that my heart is racing from another encounter with the confusing wolf I call alpha
"hi" I tell her
"You ready to go?" She asks me and I nod, unable to create a coherent sentence with my jumbled brain
I turn back as she pulls be along, I see Martin walking back to his house. His hands running roughly through his hair and his shoulders tense. My mind and body pulling me to him, but Scar holds me tight as she drags me over to Lawrence's house across the pack.
