Rejected by Her Mate Claimed by Four Alphas novel Chapter 85

CHAPTER 77

Clara’s POV

On a scale of one to ten, I would say I was a billion times pissed off at Alpha Killian.

The arrogant bastard had stalked me through the packhouse like some kind of predator, cornered me in a hallway, and then had the nerve to bite me when I tried to defend myself.

was to sleep and forget about everything that had happened.

I put on my pajamas and climbed into bed, hoping that morning would bring some clarity to the situation.

But sleep didn’t come easily. Every time I closed my eyes, I could see Killian’s face. I could feel his breath against my neck, hear his voice whispering in my ear.

When I finally did fall asleep, my dreams were filled with confusing images of hands and teeth and sensations I couldn’t quite understand.

I woke up the next morning to the sound of chaos outside my window.

People were shouting, and I could hear vehicles moving around the packhouse grounds. Something was definitely happening.

I got dressed quickly and headed downstairs to see what was going on. The main areas of the packhouse were filled with pack members talking excitedly, and everyone looked concerned about something.

I found Xander near the main entrance, coordinating with several other warriors. He looked stressed, which was unusual for him.

“What’s happening?” I asked, approaching him.

“Storm hit during the night,” he replied, looking up from the papers he was studying. “It was worse than the weather service predicted.”

“How bad?”

“Bad enough to block all the main roads out of the territory. Trees are down everywhere, power lines are damaged, and there’s flooding in several areas.”

I felt a sinking sensation in my stomach. “What does that mean for travel?”

“Nobody’s going anywhere for a while,” Xander said grimly. “The roads are completely impassable. Even Alpha Killian’s people who left last night had to turn around and come back.”
