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
CLAIRE's POVBlood. There was blood pooling out from Cora’s unmoving body as she lay at the bottom of the stairs. I stood frozen, clutching the newly retrieved necklace in my hand as my eyes remained on Cora.I heard whispers around me and I jolted back. My eyes surveyed the surroundings and my heart dropped when I saw a large crowd surrounding the vicinity. When had they gathered? I had assumed that they had gathered around us when we started struggling and yelling, but I was too preoccupied with Cora to notice any of them.The weight of the situation began to dawn on me slowly and i felt a pit form in my stomach. What had I done? Nothing was making any sense to me.When had we gotten to the top of the stairs? How had she fallen all the way down to the bottom? I remembered how much I had pushed Cora. It was not a strong push, just enough to get the necklace off her neck.Then how on earth had she fallen down the stairs? Had she slipped. I turned back to Cora and watched as more blood
CLAIRE's POV The incident with Cora never left my mind after that day. Image of her lifeless body on the floor, with the blood running out from the back of her head haunted me.It haunted me so much, it turned into nightmares. Nightmares that caused me to wake up in a pool of my sweat. I knew I had not pushed her down the stairs, but I still played a part in it. If I had calmed down, and rationally thought of a way to retrieve the necklace from her.Instead, I was driven by my hate and jealousy for her. Now, I was labelled a monster. As if my position and status in the pack house was not bad enough. I chuckled bitterly to myself as I sat by the window in my room, gazing up at the night sky.The incident led me to become a recluse. I stayed in my room all day and made no attempt to leave. It was better this way. It made me avoid all the whispers and stares that I would possibly get if I left. I let out a sigh and stared at the crescent shaped moon. It was not a full moon, but it stil
CLAIRE's POVI was not sure if I had heard her right. I blinked at Sorcha and tilted my head at her.“What?”She stumped her feet, which was bare on the floor and glared at me.“Are you deaf now? I said I want to see Dominik, now!” She yelled.Her voice echoed through the hallway and I jolted back. I looked around and pushed her further back. I slipped out into the cold night air and shut the door behind me.“Have you gone mad? Why would you show up at the pack house at four am? And why did you yell? What if someone heard you?” I questioned her with a lowered tone.I feared that my voice may carry and that would alert the other wolves, or even Dominik. Sorcha clenched her fists and spoke within gritted teeth.“I did not come out here for you to bombard me with too much questions. Now let me through!” she yelled again.“Can you stop yelling? Can you not tell the kind of situation you are in? If anyone were to know that you are out here, it would not end well for you,” I cautioned as I
DOMINIK's POVAs I slammed door shut, I felt the anger that had risen up within me subside. How dare she come here after I had banished her from the pack house?And what was more, she was having a scuffle with Claire. A low growl escaped my lips and I felt Claire shudder as she stood close to me. I instantly remembered that I had my hands wrapped around her waist.As I freed her from my grip, I realized how empty my hands felt without her small waist. I began to crave her touch. It had been days, weeks since I had held Claire in my arms.I craved her body, her scent and my wolf did too. We wanted our mate. As Claire began to walk away from me, I called out to her.“Claire-““How is Cora?” She asked cutting me short.I frowned and folded my arms. Her question has struck me as weird. Why would she ask about Cora at a time like this?“Cora is fine. She only had a slight cut at the back of her head. Nothing threatening to her life,” I replied and began to walk towards her.Claire had her
CLAIRE's POVAs I stared at my reflection in the mirror, a pair of blue eyes stared back at me. I admired myself, mostly because I was in disbelief. Never in my life, would I have imagined that I would be adorned with this dress.As I stood before the full-length mirror, I took in the sight before me. I was wearing a stunning wedding dress, the most beautiful thing I had ever worn in my life. The fabric was pure white, soft and silky to the touch, with a subtle shimmer that made it seem almost luminous in the dimly lit room.The bodice was fitted,
CLAIRE's POVMy mind was racing, my eyes were fixed on Cora, who had now morphed into a dragon. Her large glass green orbs found me, and she roared."You finally showed yourself, almighty goddess. What are you going to do? Save your mate, friends, or loyal supporters? Or watch them die by my hands," she chuckled.I could tell that she was taunting me, but for what reason? My eyes trailed to Dominik, who was crouched down on the floor, bus body covered in blood.
CLAIRE's POVJust like Luis and Dominik had anticipated, a war was about to break out. We had received a letter from none other than Cora herself. She was leading the faction that was against me into war. In the letter, she told Dominik to give me up to her, but naturally, he refused, and so we began preparing for war.The men that had come to see me, saying that I was their goddess, brought more of their faction to Dominik's small cottage. Their numbers were significantly much, and I was glad that we had so many people, willing to fight on our side.
CLAIRE's POVHow had it all started? I could not tell. The moment I left Dominik's side, I rushed out of the pack house, to aid the rest of his men in battle as their cries were getting louder and louder. But then, I was ambushed. The moment I stepped outside, multiple arrows flew towards me, piercing my flesh.It was a precise, and calculated plan. The enemy had anticipated me, walking out of the pack house and chose to act quickly. Whoever was leading them, must have been very smart. Was it Cora?With the poisonous arrows dulling my senses, I cou
DOMINIK's POV"What?" I questioned as my eyes trailed to Claire, who was standing right beside me."Does your shoulder hurt?"She shook her head. "I assume that the tracking spell has worked off, the tattoo is even gone."I grimaced, unsure of whether or not she was fine. Claire looked at me and gave me a pat on the back."Don't worry
CLAIRE's POVThe party was rather cheerful with people dancing, and some cheering. Drinks were poured and everyone was having a good time. I sat right beside Dominik, my arm wrapped around his. I was reluctant to leave his side, and I could tell that he felt the same way. My eyes occasionally kept wandering the diamond that now sat on my fingers.Everything still felt like a dream. Had Dominik really appointed me as his Luna? And even went as far as proposing to me. My hear felt like it would melt from the amount of happiness I was feeling. I nuzzled my head on Dominik's arm as a smile crossed my lips.
CLAIRE's POVThe sound of distant chattering jolted me awake from my deep sleep. My eyes creaked open, and they landed on an unfamiliar bedside table. This was not my room. Where was I? I tried to move, but my movements were restricted. Curious, I looked down to see large, bulky arms, wrapped around my waist.Then, I remembered.I was in Dominik's room.Everything began to come back slowly. The moment we had gotten back from the palace, Domi
CLAIRE's POVI sat in the carriage, right beside Dominik. The atmosphere between us was silent, but it was not an uncomfortable silence. My mind was far lost in thought and I assumed it was the same for Dominik.I had greatly underestimated my father's hatred for Dominik. To think that he would call the guards to remove his own daughter from the palace she is living in came as a shock to me.When the guards grabbed me by my arms and pulled me away from Vera and my stepsisters, I could not do anything. I could only stare at them. They all had a worr
CLAIRE's POV"Your Highness..." The guards spoke up the moment I approached the gate.Their eyes trailed away from the opposing figure beside me. Dominik did not mind their various gaze and kept a blank expression. My arms were linked with his, and my heart was racing inside my chest.I could only imagine how my father would react the moment he saw me, hand in hand with the notorious devil alpha. The guards did not stop us as we walked into the palace grounds. I was thankful for that, as I did not wa
