CLAIRE's POV“Get your hands off me!” I screamed as I squirmed around.My struggling only caused him to hold unto me tighter. I struggled some more, determined to break free from his tight grip.“Claire-““Do not call my name!” I yelled.I did not know where this courage was coming from, but I was livid, sad even. All those emotions sparked something within me. It eliminated my fear. I was not scared of what Dominik might do to me. “Stop squirming around and listen to me!” Dominik bellowed at me.But his tone did not faze me one bit. I kept up the struggle, but the difference in strength was obvious. Dominik grabbed me by the waist and hauled me all the way to the bed. He threw to the bed and it bounced as I fell on it.Dominik hovered over me, and through the dim lights of the bedside lamp, I could see his eyes glimmer with something I would not have expected.A hunger.As he stayed put on top of me, I felt goose bumps crawl up my skin. He reached out to me and cupped my cheeks, whi
CORA's POVThe woods were foggy at this time of the morning and I despised the earthy smell it produced. As I walked down the woods, I looked around, being careful enough not to run into anyone.No one had to know I was meeting up with him.I walked around stealthily as I headed for my destination. Birds chirped in the distance, and the cool morning breeze blew by, but none of it mattered to me. I would rather be in bed, than walk down this muddy woods.But I had to meet him.I treaded deeper into the woods, until I reached the spot we agreed to meet. I paused and my eyes trailed around the area. There was no one in sight. Where the hell was he?I walked over to a tree, having a red ribbon tied around it and ran my fingers along the ribbon. This was a symbol of our meeting place, so that meant that I was in the right place.But where was he? I began to fume with anger. Was he late? How dare he make me wait this long?As I paced around the woods I began to chew on my fingernails.“That
CLAIRE's POV“I said, leave her alone,” I boomed again, just as the wolf turned her back on me.I was trembling, shaking in my boots, but I was not about to back out just because she told me to. I would never be able to live with myself if I left a friend alone to be bullied and beat up while I stood there and watched like some coward.The wolf turned back to me and glared at me.“Did you not hear what I said, or are you deaf now?”The other wolves around her laughed and giggled within themselves.“Why don’t you teach her a lesson Tana?!” One wolf in the crowd yelled.Tana smirked and walked closer to me. She looked at me from head to toe and I felt my knees buckle underneath me. Beads of sweat began to form on my forehead.Tana. One of Sorcha’s closest friends. She was just as strong as her and she was someone you would not want to mess with.“Let’s see. I am mad that Sorcha got sent to live in that pig house because of a pathetic wolf like you. Maybe this is the right time to take o
CLAIRE's POVThe whole woods went quiet and everywhere was still. No one moved, as everyone’s eyes were fixed on me intently. They were all in a state of shock.They were not the only ones that were left in awe. I was dumbfounded. What had just happened? I kept my gaze fixed on Tana who was laying on the floor, her body not moving an inch.I tried to recall what had happened. I screamed at her, and the force sent her flying away from me. But how? I could only remember feeling this build up in my chest, and then it exploded.It sort of felt like a cup that had overflown and the contents spilled over. I pushed myself up into a sitting position and raised my hands up to my face. They were trembling, and so was my entire body.The other wolves called out to Tana and ran towards her. I watched them call out to her some more with worried looks on their face.“Claire!” I heard Aurora call out to me.I snapped my head to her direction and saw her running to me. “Are you okay?” she asked with
CLAIRE's POVThe air seemed to shift and become still. There was a menacing aura all around the air, I could feel it. And there was only one person that could cause this phenomenon.Dominik.He stood at the door, glaring at me like I had done something wrong. What had I done to warrant his presence in my room? And then it clicked. I had shown my powers, powers that he specifically told me to hide.I swallowed and shot up from the bed. Aurora was trembling beside me as her eyes remained fixed on Dominik. Dominik marched up to me, and it felt like my heart was going to stop beating.“You are coming with me, now,” Dominik ordered.Before I could ask why or protest, he grabbed my wrists and began to pull me with him. I looked back at Aurora and she was sitting on the bed, shaking like a wet kitten. I gave her a reassuring smile and Dominik pulled me out of the room.As he pulled me along the hallway, his grip on my wrist tightened even more.“D-Dominik, it hurts, please let go,” I pleaded
CLAIRE's POVAfter the while fiasco I had with Tana, I expected that every wolf in the clan would be buzzing about me, and the powers I had exhibited. But to my greatest surprise, they did not.Everything was normal. No one gave me weird looks and the whispering I had expected did not happen. Even when I passed by Tana, and the other wolves that had seen my powers that day, none of them gave me weird glances.It was like, none of it ever happened. I could only come to the conclusion that Dominik had found away to subdue the rumours from spreading. I was glad that no one was talking about it, or giving me glances anytime I passed them by. I had learnt my lesson, and was not going to use my powers no matter what. As I stared at the night sky through my window, I recalled what had happened with Tana. I remembered vividly, that I did not cast any magic spell. All I did was, scream.The sensation I felt in my chest was unfamiliar and weird to me. All I did was scream really loudly, and t
CLAIRE's POV“So you are saying that you had a dream...where this strange woman appeared to you?” Aurora asked.I nodded as I paced around the room, my eyes glued to the floor as I was deep in thought.“What else happened?”“Well, the whole place where I stood was dark, and then this woman, who was the only source of light, led me somewhere,” I said as I recounted the dream in my head.“And what did this place look like?”I paused and looked at Aurora.“It...was dark, just like everywhere else,” I explained.Aurora titled her head and gave me a confused look.“The woman told me something, she said that the pack house is not a safe place for me, that someone is after my life here,”Aurora’s confusion turned to worry. “Someone wants to kill you here?”I nodded and ran a hand through my hair.“Those were her words. But it was just a dream. I do not need to heed to her words, but I cannot ignore the fact that her words felt so true.” I said.I pondered again and continued.“Another strang
Chapter 118CLAIREDays had gone by, and I did not fail to religiously look for the necklace Dominik had gifted me. Even after looking for days, the necklace was no where to be found.I was slowly losing hope and there was no way I was going to just abandon the search. That necklace meant the world to me, and I could not lose it, not now, not ever.I sighed heavily as I walked down the hallway with Aurora walking beside me. She tilted her head to look at me, and I looked back at her. She had a worried expression on her face.“What are you sighing for? Are you still worried about the necklace?” Aurora asked.I nodded and sighed again. “It has been days Aurora, and I am yet to set my eyes on the necklace. I am getting very worried,” I complained.Aurora placed a hand on my shoulder and gave it a light squeeze.“We are going to find it. You do not have to worry about that Claire,” she reassured me.I shook my head vigorously.“It has been days, days! And we still have no found it. I thi
