Chapter 123

Claire's POV When Klein leaned closer to me, I stepped back. He noticed my hesitation and immediately apologized, "Sorry, Claire. I, I..." I shook my head and said, "It's OK, just..." When I looked up and met his bright blue eyes, a strange feeling came over me. I could not help thinking about Lucius's similar eyes. Klein made me feel warm, but did not give me that same strong sense of desire and pull that Lucius provided. I told myself to stop thinking like this. Why was I still thinking about that proud Alpha? I should be completely over him by now. Even though I tried not to think about it, my fingers moved to my lips without thinking. I remembered that forceful kiss from days ago that had left me breathless and confused. The air on the terrace cooled my face. "You seem quite familiar with Alpha Reina." I tried to find a new topic. Klein smiled. "The Northern Territories and my Shadow Creek Pack have had good relations for generations. Alpha Reina and my parents were close friends."
