CLAIRE's POVMy eyes cracked open to the sound of chattering and footsteps. I blinked slowly, and my blurry vision dissipated. My eyes were met with a very unfamiliar ceiling and a weird environment.I pushed myself up into a sitting position and stretched my stiff arms. I looked around me once more, before everything slowly came back to me.This was not my room at the pack house. I was banished, our encounter with those mindless wolves, and Enzo coming to our rescue. Everything had gone by so fast, it was hard to believe that they even happened.I threw sheets off me and got out of bed, I stumbled back and crashed to the floor, on my bottoms. I blinked in surprise and laughed to myself. The events of yesterday had drained me so much, and using a lot of my witch powers added to the fatigue. A loud knock came on the door, startling me. My heart began to race. Was it Enzo? Who would come knocking on my door at eight in the morning? I picked myself up from the floor and began to approac
CLAIRE's POVI felt aloof in the floral pattern dress and the loafers I had on. It was not my style and I rarely wore pretty clothes like this. To make things worse, Bianca had pestered me to put some make up on.I refused her offer a thousand times, but Bianca was persistent. She won and applied some light make up on my face. My hair was tied up in a bun, with little strands left loose at the front. What was all this get up for? We were only going to have breakfast with Enzo. As we walked down the hallway, my eyes wandered around. It had changed drastically from what I could remember, it was breathtaking now. The designs were exquisite and somewhat luxurious.Although, compared to Dominik’s pack house, it was not as exquisite. I felt Bianca staring at me as we walked down the hallway and I turned to her. She was grinning and I raised an eyebrow at her.“Why are you grinning so hard?” I quizzed.“Well, you seem nervous to meet Enzo,” She cooed.I flushed at her false accusation. It t
CLAIRE's POVThe lavish dress, the make up, everything was finally coming to me. This whole breakfast and me having it with Enzo, was all part of the plan to get me alone with him.I grimaced as I looked at my hand which was laced with his. This was not what I wanted. I wished my hands were laced with Dominik’s and not Enzo.As much as I despised it, I could not pull my hand away. I did not want to upset Enzo, not after he had taken me back to the clan, and even let me stay in the main house, a place where I could enjoy all the luxuries.He pulled me forward, and we began to walk towards a large glass door at the very end of the dining room. Once we got there, Enzo pushed the door open.The cool morning breeze hit me as I scanned the tranquil atmosphere of the balcony. Enzo walked in, my hand still in his and we perched beside the white metal railing. My eyes trailed down the balcony, and I saw a bed of flowers at the very bottom. From what I could see, there were marigolds, tulips,
CLAIRE's POVI splashed some water on my face and listened to the sound of the water run down the sink. I wiped my face with the back of my hand, and stared at my reflection in the mirror.I looked drained and sleep deprived. The bags under my eyes gave it away. It was hard to get sleep after everything Enzo had said to me. I stayed up all night thinking about everything.He had put me in a tough situation, and I did not have a solution to it. I could not agree to be his. My heart, soul and body belong to my mate Dominik.But how was I going to reject him? I grimaced. Rejecting him may be the last thing I would want to do. What if my rejection enraged him, and he ended up throwing me out of the clan?I shook my head. Enzo was caring, he was not that kind of person. But I could not help but think about multiple possibilities. I splashed more water on my face and turned the tap off. Lazily, I trudged back into the room and flopped down on the bed with a heavy sigh. I needed someone to
CLAIRE's POVA welcoming party for me. That was the only thing, probing my mind all day. Bianca seemed giddy about the party, but I on the other hand was dreading it with a passion.I did not want my arrival at the pack house to be known. I wanted to stay hidden in the main building, until I got a word from Dominik and eventually leave. This party was putting a huge burden on me.I sighed to myself and gazed out the window. The clouds slowly drifting around in the sky left me with a feeling of wistfulness and a bit of emptiness.“Claire!”I jolted back and turned to my side. Luis was standing beside me, giving me a quizzical look.“I have been calling out your name, but you seemed to be deep in thought. Did you even hear anything I said?”I blinked at him and shook my head. I had been so lost in my thoughts, that I had forgotten Luis was standing right next to me. We were both meeting up this morning to talk about our next course of action.“I am really sorry, I had my head up in the
CLAIRE's POVI shut my eyes tight as I waited and anticipated a hit from my father. This was nothing new. I had suffered and endured harsher treatment from him when I was younger. But all that stopped when I went to live with the other omegas.Moments had passed, and I had not felt anything. Curiously, I peered my eyes open and I saw that my father’s hand was still on the air, but another hand was around his wrist, stopping him from hitting me.I snapped my head back and saw that it was Luis who held his hand in place. Luis looked angry with his furrowed eyebrows.“You bloody outsider! How dare you interfere when I am trying to discipline my own daughter?!” My father yelled and I could see the veins at the side of hi head pop out.“This is not the way you discipline your own blood. No one would raised their hands against their own family.”My father growled and snatched his hand away from Luis grip.“And who do you think you are? You think you can tell me how to discipline my own daug
CLAIRENever had I imagined that I would be dressed in such an attire. It contrasted my whole personality and I felt uncomfortable wearing it. As I stared at my reflection in the mirror, I could not help but gape at the attire in awe and shear horror.The glittery purple gown had a v neck that showed an ample amount of my cleavage. It was a knee length gown, and a good amount of my thighs were showing. And to top it all, Bianca had given me some stilettos to put on.I blinked at my reflection again, wondering if this was really me. Coming back to the clan had been eventful. I had no time to catch a break, as it had been one thing after the other. First, it was breakfast with alpha Enzo, then it was the unfortunate and terrifying encounter with my father, and now it was a welcoming party that I did not wish for.I let out a sigh and let my shoulders droop.“Why do you look so bumped out? You are supposed to be excited! It is your welcoming party after all!” Bianca beamed and appeared b
CLAIRE's POVAlpha Enzo held my hand with so much boldness as he led me towards the crowd. I could not help but notice the obvious stares coming from the crowd, and of course, their reaction was as I had expected.They looked at me with hate, disdain and the female omegas looked at me with so much jealousy, I could see it in their eyes. Who would not be jealous? I was dressed in a pretty attire, walking hand in hand with the handsome alpha Enzo. It was bound to cause such a reaction from them.It was not a secret how much every omega wanted to be the Alpha’s mate. And here I was, standing beside him. I turned my gaze to the ground, feeling uncomfortable with the stares I was getting. Enzo and I reached the middle of the crowd and stood close to the bon fire. He still held my hand as he turned to face the crowd. The music in the background died down, and the crowd went as silent as a graveyard.“Greetings, I am sure most of you have not a single clue why this party was hosted. I am no
