Read Online Claiming His Fate by Ellis Leigh - Free Book Online

sound connected the dots floating around in my head. The way Caleb made me nervous, the fight-or-flight response I felt every time Morris came around, how my hair stood on end when I walked into the room in the basement with all those men—something wasn’t right about them all. The same something that made me wet with desire for Rebel made me terrified of all the others. The growling, the light-colored eyes, and the sharp movements.
    My stomach dropped as one word echoed in my mind. Wolves.
    “You're not going anywhere.”
    A shiver shot up my spine and the top of my head tingled. Not now. Not when I was so close. Fighting my instincts to face the threat and not show weakness, I turned and opened my locker. Every second lasted longer than the one before, every whisper of sound deafening. I nearly cried when my fingers grabbed the leather strap of my purse. Just a few more moments. Almost done. Then I could get the hell away from this craziness and figure out what to do next.
    Once I had my bag over my shoulder and my keys in my hand, I turned around. Caleb’s face was mere inches from mine, his body blocking my path to the back door. 
    “You whored yourself out for him.”
    I lifted my chin and met his gaze. I put every bit of courage into my glare, even as my insides shook with a sense of terror that made my blood run cold. “I'm going home.” 
    I moved to step past him, but he grabbed my arm and dragged me into the center of the room. His grip turned painful as I struggled against him. I hit, I kicked, I yelled, all to no avail. Caleb wasn’t letting me go, and I wasn’t strong enough to make him.
    “You give me nothing, but those biker wolves show up and you're spreading your legs.” He pulled me against his body and sniffed. “I smell three of them on you. You think they’re stronger than me? That any of them could challenge me and win? I’m the Alpha in this club, but you let three of those fuckers touch you?”
    With a speed that took me by surprise, he ducked down and slammed his shoulder into my gut, lifting me with ease. 
    “Caleb…stop!”
    “No.” He strode across the room and out the employee entrance, running across the near-empty lot. When he reached the tree line at the back of the property, he dropped me to my feet and pushed me forward. “Move it, whore. It's time I get what's mine.”

    I ran up the stairs with Gates on my heels. 
    “Something you want to talk about, boss?”
    I chuffed at him, too blissed out from making my mate happy to care about his sarcastic tone.
    “That's what I figured.” Gates slowed as we made it to the main room of the club. It was late, well past closing time, and the place was empty. “It'll be sad to see you go, but I'm happy for you. Finding your mate is a cause for celebration.”
    I froze. The thought of leaving the club, leaving all my brothers behind, was not one I'd had time to absorb just yet. They were practically my pack, the only family I had, and I wasn't ready to say goodbye. My blood burned in my veins as I pushed those thoughts away and focused on the mission.
    “Let's concentrate on finding Pup before we connect the old ball and chain, yeah?”
    He snorted. “Sure thing, man.”
    We came upon the rest of the guys, minus Pup, just outside the main entrance. 
    “What's going on?” I asked without preamble.
    Scab was the first to step up. “I have no idea. The humans left at closing time with no issues. Gates forced Morris to shut down the party in the basement around the same time. Morris snuck the wolves and women out through a secondary entrance at the back of the building. The only one we lost track of was the big-ass shifter working behind the bar, otherwise I think everyone…”
    He paused, his nose twitching as he tested the air around him. Fuck. I was going to reek of Charlotte. Not that I minded, but I didn't feel like listening to the crap any of the crew was about to throw.
    “Numbers is downstairs with the
