Chapter 113
Martin's POV
I walk out of the pack Doctors hut and head straight for Claire piece of shit family. They came by for five minutes to check on her and left to go back doing whatever they hell they wanted.
I should have fucking prevented this, I should have gone in with her. I ball my fists angrily and feel my wolf coming through but I hold down and try to relax. The dumb bitch Scar got away and who knows when we'll find her. She must be punished, and hard, for what she's done.
I harshly knock on the Bryan's door and await their answer. Her Father opens it, not expecting me, the burnt smell of the house coming through as the door swings open. His eyes widen
"what a surprise Alpha, so good to see you" he bows his head but I'm too angry to make meaningless conversation
"Where were you planning Claire to stay tonight?" I ask, ignoring his previous comment
He raises an eyebrow
"well the couch, until her room can be fixed and new things bought" he tells me just as Claire's Mother walks out, her face lightly up at the sight of me
I've never understood, Claire looks almost nothing like her Father, her and her Mother do have similar features but nothing too obvious
"good evening Mrs.Bryan I-"
Her Mother cuts me off
"Oh know please call me Luara-"
"And me Bryan" her Father says
"please come in" he says and I almost frown, I want this to be a quick conversation, so I can prepare my home
I fight rolling my eyes and nod as I step in and he closes the door behind me
"anyways I would like Claire to stay with me while her room is being remodelled" I ask of them knowing they can't turn me down
They look extremely confused as they stare at me
"Claire? Our Claire?" Bryan ask
"Yes" I say annoyed
"I think it would be best to keep her close to the most protected house in the pack after the events of today"
They are silent for a moment but then her mothers face turns from confusion to a happy smile "of course, that's so kind of you" she says
Claire's Father looks at his mate and she at him. They seem to be talking to each other through there mate mind link. I stay quiet and watch them "right of course, when she gets home we'll send her over" Bryan says as they turn back to me
"Thank you" I nod at them and they nod back, he grabs her at her waist and pulls her into his chest, making them look like the model couple.
They smile as I look to the door and grab the handle. Just a so open it I hear there younger daughters voice
"alpha is that you?" Bervely asks form upstairs
I quickly open the door and they thank me for coming, they wave with a smile as I walk away.
Within ten minutes of me telling Lena what has happened she's gone from tears to screaming in joy
"oh my god! This is amazing! But horrible of course, I feel so bad for her" she shakes her head
"she has no one, except us of course! We have to clean this place up! I can't believe she's coming here. You'll finally be able to talk to her, this could really bring you two closer" she says and Peter laughs, his arm around her shoulders
And I try to cover my smile
"ok ok" I shake my head
"let's get ready for her"
Lena jumps up and starts to clean up, we decide her room will be one over from mine...no matter how much I want her with me. Me, Bryat, and Lena all gather in the kitchen to start dinner
"I'm really happy for you man, I'm sorry all of this happens though" Bryat says running a hand through his dark hair
"I can't imagine how Claire feels, she just lost both her best friends. And one of them tried to kill her" I wince at his statement
"how's she doing anyways? Healing alright?"
He asks and I sigh
"she's healing fine but I'm worried about her. Like you said all this drama with Tara and that Lawrence boy...what we need to do is make her forget all of that. She doesn't need anymore stress...I want to make her feel-"
Bryat places a hand on my shoulder
"we know Martin, we get it" he and Lena both nod
I smile but before I can say anything my phone rings
"hold on" I say to them and walk into the living room, they don't follow and continue on in conversation
"Hello?" I answer not knowing the number
"Hi alpha, it's Bryan" I hear and raise an eyebrow, wondering what he needs
"Is Claire home?" I ask, my heart beat getting a little quicker
"She is but we have a problem" he says and my heart drops into my stomach
"What? What is it? Is she alright?" I ask in a hurry
"No she's fine, it's just she told us she doesn't feel comfortable staying at your house. She said she wants to be home while she heals"
His words cut deep and I stumble back against the wall hearing them
"wha- she said that?" I ask almost not believing my ears
"Yes I'm sorry, but don't worry me and Luara have figured out a solution" he tells me but his words are muffled...does she not feel it? She wouldn't have kissed me if she didn't. Why would she do this?
"Bervely has given up her room for Claire so she can stay in there while her room is under construction. So, if the offer is still open, Bervely can stay with you"
I almost gag at the alternative "She has no friends she can stay with?" I choke up my words
"Well she said she'd feel more comfortable there since it's so close to home" he tells me and I shiver in disgust I almost want to go over there and beg Claire to tell me why she's doing this to me.
I don't want to say yes, but I don't want to say no if this is truly what I have to do to gain Claire's trust. I groan into the phone, anger becoming very evident
"fine, only for a night...if it's not fixed by then she'll need to find another place" I tell him in a demanding tone
There's silence for a moment "of course alpha"
I hang up before he can say anything else
"fuck!" I curse loudly and Bryat and Lena soon rush into the living room
"what is it?" Bryat asks hurriedly
I ball my fists and throw my phone on the couch
"she doesn't want to be here" I growl, not facing them
"What's do you mean? Who was that on the phone?" Lena asks, coming around to look at me
"Her Father, he said she didn't feel comfortable staying here while she was healing" I'm angry, very angry. Why would she do this? What did I do?
"What's do you mean? Who was that on the phone?" Lena asks, coming around to look at mev
"Her Father, he said she didn't feel comfortable staying here while she was healing" I'm angry , very angry. Why would she do this? What did I do?
"Maybe it's a misunderstanding....I can't imagine Claire wanting to stay there" Lena says in disbelief
"Bervely is staying here instead" I growl, wanting to punch the wall or anything
"Bervely? Her Sister?" Bryat asks scrunching up his face "she's bad news Martin"
"I know but what could I have said?" I shake my head
"I said she could only stay one night" I inform them
They both groan
"but she's so..." They say at the same time
"I can't deal with this, she'll be here any second and I know she's up to something, every time I see her she fucking tries to seduce me" I grimace at the thought
"I'm going for a run, don't wait up for me" I turn away but I know they aren't happy about it
"Come on, you're going to leave us with her?" Brayt asks, pouting
"Hints the perks of being Alpha" I say, my face straight as I walk down the hallway to the back door.
