Claimed By The Alpha

Introduction
Lara has perfected the art of invisibility: a lone witch in a world of wolves, her true nature hidden behind a wall of quiet defiance and a dormant wolf she refuses to awaken. Her past is a locked box of fear, tied to a scar and an Alpha who claims her. All she wants is to stay hidden, even from the intense gaze of Matthew, her pack's future leader—and, impossibly, her fated mate.
Matthew knows she’s close. He's caught her scent, a tantalizing promise that slips away each time. Why would his own mate run from him? As danger closes in on the pack, the truth can no longer stay buried. He’s determined to claim her, but to win her, he must first unravel the secrets that make her fear the very bond that could save them both.
Chapter 1
Lara's POV
Another year is starting. Three less and I will be done. I'm not really the popular type and I'm not really social either, so I'm not especially enjoying my university's years. I can't wait for this to end. I'm studying the laws. I know not the sexiest thing to study but it's what Luke decided to study. As a future Gamma of the pack, he thinks that to know laws will help him. Also, he wants to be the voice of the ones who don't have one which is pretty honorable.
Luke is my only friend here. He is the only friend I have ever made here when I arrived 13 years ago. Not the people didn't try but believe me they had tried but he is the only one who never gave up. Not that I'm not sociable it's just I can't lose friends and I know it happened. You see, I have a really dark past, and as Aunty Jane used to say past always catch you up sooner and later. She also used to say the truth will always be revealed. And I really understood the sense of that when she died 2 years ago and my full past was revealed to me. I know one day he will come for me and if I don't want people I love to be hurt in the process, I need to keep my distance. It worked with everyone except Luke. And I know it's selfish but I need at least a friend here, even more now that Jane is gone.
Luke is my best friend, of course as my only friend he has no competition for the position but I'm a lucky girl because he is the best friend, you can dream of. He followed all my choices. I'm passionate about dance so he gave up football to take dance classes with me. Also, we always have all our classes together and I don't how but I know it was his doing. When I was 16, I applied to work with Team L again he applied with me. 16 might sound young for you but in the werewolf world, we are already mature as at 16 we can shift into our wolves. Well, the other werewolves can shift at 16, not me. There was an accident when I was 5 and ever thing I never were able to connect with my wolf. My alpha hoped that I would shift at 16 but I knew I wouldn't... I know, I know, I'm super mysterious but I'm scared to speak about what really happened and I'm also scared if I start to speak about it that my past will come after me.
Even I can't shift, I still have all the werewolf abilities, speed, strength, better vision, etc... The only thing that I've never tried is mindlinking. I don't know why exactly, maybe because I never felt like I was part of this pack. The price will be too high if I become a pack member. I can't be selfish and do that to them. Also, I'm not a 100% werewolf, I'm a witch too. Nobody knows that here, except Luke, of course, but he is keeping all my secrets even from his Alpha and I'm really grateful for that. See, he is the best friend that you could never have. This is why this time it was my turn to follow him and his wishes to study laws. And I'm happy to do it for him. I want to spend as much time as I can with him. He will be my light when my darkness will come after me.
Honk, honk!
Ah! It's him! He is picking me up as we are going together in our classes.
"Hey, Luke! Ready for a new year." I ask him, putting my seatbelt.
"Hey, Lara! As never. Remember whatever happens it's us against the world." He replies.
"Why are you saying that?"
"Because Matthew and Alex are back and I know how you don't like them."
"It's not that I don't like them. They are just so annoying!"
"If you say so." He mutters not believing me.
"You should spend time with them. As the future Gamma, you need to be more involved with them. You already refused to go to that training camp with them, now it's time to reconnect with them both." I tell him after a few minutes of silence.
Becoming my friend pushed him away from his other friends. And as I'm seeing like a weirdo and he's my friend, people tend to think he's one too. Which is totally false. He is one of the coolest guys I know. If only people could see that!
"I will not let you aside, so until you find a way to be friends with them. It's not going to happen." He says.
"Don't be ridiculous! You could lose your Gamma position!"
"So be it!" He says with defiance.
"Please, Luke! With both know how important is it for you."
He sighs:
"I will think about it."
"Thanks!! It's all I ask for."
"We will see, I have another problem to fix before." He says more for himself. I would have not hear him without my werewolf senses.
"You know, you can tell me everything. I can help you." I tell him.
"I know and I will if and when I'm ready."
"Okay..."
The rest of the ride we are listening to some songs. That makes me want to dance. My favorite dance is Tango and Luke is a really good dancer and partner. We both like a lot Capoeira too. We won a lot of competitions together.
"You know, you can tell me everything. I can help you." I tell him.
"I know and I will if and when I'm ready."
"Okay..."
What a shity first day! I was already hating university but with " the future Alpha and Beta" back all the she-wolves went crazy today! I don't even know why? I mean, of course, they are both built like gods and they held a position of power but come one! Don't be so desperate! I don't know how you can find them attractive when they are so annoying! uh!!! Can't wait to go home.
Suddenly a smell hit my nose. The smell of trouble...
"Hey, Luke!" I hear Matthew says in our back.
I can't help but roll my eyes.
"Hey Mathew, Alex." Luke replies turning toward them.
"Hey, Luke, Lara." Alex says.
"Hi" I reply.
Matthew is totally ignoring me, he didn't even say hello to me. What an ass! I can't for our next mission with the team L to have a break from the shity hole!

The CEO's Unspoken Love
Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.
My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...

Pregnant by My Husband's Rival Alpha
Those words should have destroyed me, but the truth was worse: I'd been used as a broodmare by the man who swore to love me, set up in a hotel room with a stranger because My husband Alexander Cross couldn't father children himself, and now I carried the secret babies of Damon Lester—the most powerful and dangerous Alpha in San Loris—while my own family replaced me with the daughter they'd always wanted. But when that same stranger's doctor appeared at my door, when twenty million dollars exchanged hands over a fake perfume bearing my secret identity, and when Damon's gray eyes locked onto mine with recognition I couldn't afford, I realized my carefully hidden life as the legendary perfumer Vera was colliding with a pregnancy that could cost me everything.
Could I protect my babies from the husband plotting my death, hide my true identity from the Alpha who's been hunting me for years, and reclaim the freedom I'd buried along with my dreams—even if it means standing alone against the wolves who see me as nothing more than a womb to be used and discarded?
