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 POVI groaned as I attempted to change my position on the bed. I felt a large mass around my waist, which held on to me tightly, disrupting me from moving any further. I cracked my eyes open and squinted them the moment I sighted how bright the room was. The whole room was tranquil, except for the sound of the wind blowing against the curtain.I groaned again and my eyes travelled to my body. I flushed the moment I realised that I was stark naked and Dominik’s bulky arms were around my waist.I swallowed and turned slowly behind me. My eyes fell on Dominik, who was still deep in sleep. I could feel his soft breaths on my neck and it made the hairs on my body stand erect.His face looked peaceful however, like he was having a very pleasant dream. I chuckled quietly and pushed strands of hair away from his forehead. Even though he was asleep, he still looked incredibly dashing.My eyes travelled to his lips and I began to recall everything that happened last night. The feel of
CLAIRE's POVEverywhere went silent and no one spoke. We all stared at the strange man who stood beside Luis. Something about the man, sent chills down my spine. I could not see his face, or decipher his build, as he wore a long thick coat, and the hood was over his head, covering his face completely.Luis stepped forward, with a flat expression on his face. He looked drained, and tired.“I have returned, and I came with a guest,” Luis announced.Luis gestured for the man and he came forward. He took off the hood on his head and his face was finally visible to everyone. He looked quite young, like he was in his mid 20s. His face had defined features and he had a head full of curly chestnut hair.His eyes however, were sunken and when he turned and looked at me, I froze, my eyes as wide as saucers. His left eyes was a bright blue, while his right eyes was a deep red colour.Two difference contrasting colours. Just who was this man?“And who the hell is he?” Dominik asked, his hands sti
CLAIRE's POVThe tension around us was at its peak, as we waited for the man to speak. Dominik however, was rather impatient. He tapped his feet on the ground occasionally, his eyes remaining fixed on the man.I on the other hand, was torn between wanting the hear what the man had to say, and not wanting to hear it at all. It could be important, but at the same time, there was a foreboding feeling, crawling up my skin, warning me that whatever the man had to say, was going to be bad news for me.Daniel roamed about, pacing back and forth with his hands on his chin, and his eyes looked to the ceiling. He looked like he was trying to recall something, or he was stuck in a trance.After several minutes, he looked down to the ground and his gaze slowly trailed to me. Shivers ran down my spine as his red and blue eyes fell on me. His eyes were indeed beautiful, but the bizarreness of them, made it feel eerie to me.“You Claire have undergone a lot of hardships in life. From when you were b
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
