Apprehended By My Mate novel Chapter 32

"Clam down now!" Felix uses his Alpha tone that makes me shiver along with everyone else.

"No, Clare and Grace are terrified and it is his fault." Conner growls again ignoring Felix.

"As you Alpha I command you to calm down." Conner still doesn't listen as he tries to fight his way free.

"Son calm down. It's no point getting worked up over this rogue." David says as the other couple move forward.

"Don't call her that, and get off me." Conner uses his Beta tone and we all know that his wolf is in control.

"Clare, please try and calm him down." I shake my head not wanting to go anywhere near Conner. "Please Clare, or else I am going to have to hurt him and I really don't want to." I look at the two couples and back to Conner who is trying to get out of Felix's hold.

"He won't hurt you Clare." Ivy says next to me. I close my eyes and pass Grace over to Ivy with shaky hands. I walk over to where Conner is and Felix lets go of him a little. Felix pulls Conner up and has him in a bear hug from behind. I step up in front of Conner and close my eyes. When I open them it is not Conner I am seeing but Derek.

"No!" I walk backwards but I am caught in someone's hands causing me to scream. The moment my blood curdling scream fills the chaotic room everyone stops and looks at me. The person behind me takes their hands off me and I am frozen in my spot.

"Clareeee." His voice echo's around me and I am no longer at red moon pack but back with Derek.

"Come on Clare, where are you?" I whimper covering my mouth as I stay hidden in my hiding place. I hear his heavy footsteps pass me as he tries and find me.

"Clare, you are making this worse for yourself. If you come out now I won't hurt you. I love you Clare." I take a deep breath and come out from where I am hiding. Derek turns to face me with a smile on his beautiful face.

"See, was that so hard?" I shake my head earning a slap across my face. "Answer me!" He yells as his spit falls on my face.

"I love you too Derek." Even though my back is in pain I know that I will always love Derek.

I am still screaming as Derek walks towards me with a concerned look on his face. I take another step back as he take another small step forward.

"No, please Derek." This stops him and I take the chance to run for my life. I go to open this front door to find it locked. I know there is no escaping him so I close my eyes and rest my head against the door and tear fall down my face as I want for him to come.

"Clare, it's alright." An angelic voice whispers in my ear causing me to cry harder. I hear heavy footsteps behind me and my chest tightens as my panic makes its grand entrance.

"Clare breathe. Please." Another voice says as I turn around and gasp at how close Derek is standing to me.

"Clare, it's Conner ok. Derek isn't here." Derek starts to waver before my eyes as his image slowly fades and a sad looking Conner . My heart tightens even more and I feel the walls around me closing in on me.
