Claimed As His Own novel Chapter 2

We had took a flight from home and have been driving for a day and a half, having breaks here and there in between and we were stopping in this town for the night and for food.

Will stopped the car and the rest stopped as well. I got out of the car and stretched before glancing around the town. Looking around, I could see that several other wolves from other packs were here.

I breathed in the fresh air eagerly, and sighed wistfully as I thought back to the moment Sarah and I shared along with Sean. I knew that Sean was acting all tough so he wouldn't show that he would miss me but I knew my brother well.

And even though we had our arguments and fights, I loved him especially when I had to be the buffer between him and Sarah when they would get into a huge quarrel as she had limited patience while I had more.

Sarah had grown very emotional and had teared up making me tear up as well, which was ridiculous because we were still going to be in the same pack and I could see her everyday if I wanted.

But I guessed that it was the finality of me moving on when the three of us had been through some tough times with the passing of our parents and whatnot. But it was alright, in a way, I was glad that I was moving on to the next chapter of my life.

And that new chapter? It was with Will. And I couldn't be happier about it. Will and I had met at a party when I was seventeen and he twenty-two. Honestly, at first glance, Will had not caught my attention. He seemed like a player with his blue eyes and blonde hair and I didn't want anything to do with those.

But apparently, one of his friends had approached me with a cheeky grin on his face and told me that Will was interested in me. I had stared at him coolly and Will had approached us agitatedly and uncomfortably.

That caught my interest because what player would have his friends introduce him to a girl like that? And from then on, the rest was history when Will had asked me out repeatedly and I gave in.

I turned to look at Will who was giving the pack instructions and stuff and a smile crossed my lips. Will was an incredible beta and I was extremely proud of him. "Syd? You okay? Do you want anything to eat?"

"Yeah, I'm a little hungry." I smiled at Will who grinned at me and held my hand, "Oh, well, would you mind waiting? One of the pack members has a little problem."

I could feel my smile slightly fading before pushing it back, "Oh its fine. Really. I can wait."

"Oh good. Give me a minute. Or if you want, you can go get your dinner first and I'll catch up with you." Will beamed at me and I smiled half-heartedly at him, "Of course. I'll see what I can get."

Will nodded at me before going to the pack member in question and left. I sighed and dropped the fake smile on my face. Will was an amazing beta but sometimes I felt that he loved his job more than me. But it just showed how committed he was to his work and I guessed that I had to accept that about him.

I sighed and walked around the street on my own. This town was small and was populated by humans. There were werewolves around and most of them were in groups and pairs. My heart sank a little at the sight of the several werewolf couples walking around and most probably participating in the werewolf season.

I shut my eyes and enjoyed the cool breeze blowing through my hair. At times I didn't know if I was making the right choice of being with Will. I know he loved me but he didn't make my heart race like how the heroes did to the heroines in my romance novels.

But I knew I loved him. I didn't have a doubt about it. But I longed for the fiery passionate relationships that the characters in my books had, not the safe one I had with Will. Perhaps the spoken passionate relationships in stories were fake and not real considering that they were books of fiction.

I snorted to myself and shook my head, Will made me happy and he cared for me, that was enough for me. I smiled and brushed my doubts aside. I loved Will, that was the end of it. I just had to look forward to the next part of my life with Will.

"Kyle."

At this I turned to see a tall muscular man step out of the woods and into the shadows. Since it was dark, I couldn't see him clearly or in fact at all and the man-Kyle protested angrily, "Cousin-"

"Kyle, enough." He spoke out again and this silenced him.

I glanced at the family on the ground and they seemed even more terrified than ever. And it seemed that this newcomer was the boss of whatever is going on.

"Leave." That one word from the man in front of me caused the family to scramble to their feet and disappear. Oh god, what have I gotten myself into?

"You're in charge aren't you?" I demanded and the man didn't say anything.

"How could you? Who gave you the right to treat people like that? And especially in front of his family? Do you have no heart?" I asked incredulously and Kyle stepped menacingly in front of me.

"Look here queen barbie, he's an alpha, show some respect!" He sneered and towered over me immensely.

I looked at the man in the shadows and I glanced at him with contempt, "If that's the case, I'm glad I'm not in your pack." I shot a condescending glance towards Kyle and the alpha before turning to leave.
