Page 3 of Sasquatch's Claiming

Ever since that night at Coraliane’s tavern,The Lusty Kraken,he could not stop thinking about that buxom, curvy, delicious little blonde human who had stumbled through the glamour veil. Her big blue eyes had been terrified when she saw the other beings. Ben had merely intervened to try to protecther, as there were a few not so nice monsters lurking about who would’ve gladly used her and her blood for their own ends.

From the moment he saw her, he was completely smitten, and all he wanted to do was love and cherish her.

Although, there was part of him that wondered if it wasn’t just the potent love spell that he was putting out into the air. The pheromones his kind excreted when they found their forever mate. Either way, it didn’t matter.

He wanted her.

It was torture to wait, because he was pretty sure that his older brother Adam was watching him closely, like he knew what Ben was thinking. That annoyed him too, because Adam had his mate. He had Aoife and a young one on the way.

Adam had his happily ever after.

That’s all Ben wanted.

He could still feel the memory of his little beauty’s breasts in the palm of his hands, how tight she was wrapped around his cock, the sweet scent of her burned into his olfactory senses. Every time he thought of her, he got so hard. The mating frenzy was very real. It was overpowering.

And she didn’t remember him.

That’s what hurt.

Aoife, Adam’s mate, had wiped his mate’s memory to protect her.

“You look so blue.”

Ben looked up to see Aoife’s brother, the wraith, Cillian sitting on a low branch of a tree.

He cursed under his breath seeing him there. “Don’t you have anywhere else to be?”

Cillian grinned. “No. My sister lives here.”

“She’s your half sister,” Ben groused.

Cillian shrugged. “So? You’re only half bushman.”

“Sasquatch.”

“Yeti, bushman, Sasquatch, bigfoot…isn’t it all just the same.” A sneer curled on Cillian’s lips.

Ben knew how much the wraith liked to tease. It annoyed the fuck out of him. “You need to stay out of my way,” Ben growled.

“Why? Are you going to beat your chest and hurl things at me?”

Cillian was needling him and Ben really didn’t have the energy to deal with the wraith. Not today. Cillian may have protected all of those in the north from King Tiene, but he was still a shit disturber. So instead, Ben ignored him and headed for the portal. He was done with all of this and was going to Thunder Bay, like he did almost every night, to sit outside her apartment. It was his way of protecting her, because ever since they were parted, he had this bad feeling she was unsafe. Ben might not be able to claim her, but she was his mate whether this new government, society, whatever it was, liked it or not.

He was hoping that Cillian would take the hint and leave him alone, but really Cillian wasn’t one to take hints, and his point was proven further as the wraith dropped down from the tree and floated alongside him.

“What do you want with me, Cillian?” Ben asked, exasperated.

“Oh, not much. I was going to offer you a tidbit about your beloved little human.”

Ben froze, his spine stiffened. The only people who knew about her were Adam and Aoife. Ben knew for a fact they wouldn’t tell Cillian about her, because the wraith couldn’t be trusted. Ben slowly turned around. Cillian was smirking in that smug way that made Ben want to rip his pointed face off.

“Don’t resort to violence, Ben. Ripping my face to shreds won’t work,” Cillian stated.

“Get out of my head,” Ben growled.

“Why? It’s such an interesting place to be. It’s very…lustful lately.”

Ben curled his fists and growled again, baring his sharp incisors and inflating his chest.
