CLAIRE's POVThe omegas all stood in front of me, looking down on me like I was some piece of garbage. My eyes scanned each of them. They were four in number, and I could recognise some of their faces. They were the omegas I had lived with.“Hey Claire, remember us?” One omega chirped.I gave her a small nod, but kept my face blank. Even though I knew who they were, we were not friends and I had never interacted with them in anyway. The omega who had spoken, gave me a small smile.“Why are you back here? Did your beloved alpha mate get bored of you already?”The other omegas snorted and chuckled at her remark. I clenched my fists and ignored her words. I knew why they were here. They had come to mock myself. I chided myself mentally for hoping for once that anybody here would welcome me warmly. These were the same omegas that were jealous of me the moment I got a mate. I could see that they were happily relishing in the fact that I was back in the clan. I wished I could gloat and exp
CLAIRE's POVThe deep, baritone voice was ever so familiar and I knew exactly who it was. I raised my eyes from the floor and fixed them on Enzo. He stood behind Freya and the other omegas.Freya made a sharp turn and I could sense the stiffness in her body at the sight of the alpha. The other omegas were visibly terrified and remained petrified in one place.“What is going on here?” Enzo asked again, his tone firm and his gaze menacing.“We were just welcoming Claire back to the clan, since we have missed her so much,” Freya lied.“You missed her so much, that you ripped her clothing?”Freya froze again and she took a few steps back but Enzo caught a hold of her arm. From the intensity of his grip, Freya let out a loud cry of pain.“I saw everything Freya. You can’t lie to me. I promise you one thing though, you will be severely punished for what you have done,” Enzo said in a low, menacing tone that made even me tremble.Freya lowered her head, too ashamed and scared to look Enzo in
CLAIRE's POVI was ready, I had steeled my resolve, I had to say it. I turned to the alpha and looked him dead in the eyes. Enzo had a hopeful look in his eyes, and that crushed me. I shut my eyes tight and spoke.“I am more than happy that you see me that way, and I am extremely thankful for everything you have done for me.” Then I blew out a breath. “But my heart belongs to someone else and I will have to say no.”There was an uncomfortable silence, and I peeled my eyes open. Enzo looked at me wide eyes. He seemed shocked, like, he was expecting a positive answer from me. Seeing him make that expression, tore my heart to shreds.“It is that alpha, isn’t it?” Enzo blurted out, breaking the silence.I blinked at him and tore my eyes away from him and towards the dark and starless night sky. Enzo scoffed and picked up his glass of wine, taking a large gulp from it.“That damn alpha. If he had not taken you away from the start, you would have been my mate. But now he had brainwashed you
ENZO's POVI rested on the wall beside my desk as I held a large document in my hand. My eyes were on the paper, but my mind would occasionally delve deep into my thoughts. I blinked and read a line again, the same line I had read a few times now.I exhaled and flung the document on my desk and placed my head back on the wall. My mind was filled with nothing but Claire, and it was a huge distraction. I could not get her words out of my head, the way she had rejected me.Whenever I thought of how she rejected me, I felt a sharp pang in my chest. Claire was in love with that alpha, the same one that took her away from me. When he requested to take her with him, I was enraged, but I could not refuse him. I thought I had a chance with her the moment I learned that she had been thrown out of the clan by her mate.But he still had a hold on her and it angered me so much. I clenched my fist and slammed it into the wall as I spewed curses from my lips. I wanted her so much, it hurt. I was det
CLAIRE's POV As the days went by and I spent the time in my clan, I had assumed that I would get accustomed to the environment and become even more comfortable, but what I felt was the opposite. My discomfort grew with each passing day and I could not shake this uneasiness from my chest. My nights were spent alone, and I was completely overwhelmed by how lonely it was. I would often find myself, thinking about Dominik, every single night as I lay in bed, unable to sleep. I would wonder how he was and what he was doing at the moment. Did he also long for me, and miss me the same way I did? These questions probed my mind along with the thought of him. In addition to my uneasiness, there was this feeling of being watched. I felt it whenever I walked down the hallways with Bianca, and even when I lay in bed at night. I could not pin point the source, so I brushed it off as me being paranoid because of the discomfort and uneasiness I had been feeling lately. I blinked and broke away fro
CLAIRE's POVThe fear and anxiety I was feeling right now was different from anything I had felt before. As we walked like prisoners behind Enzo in the hallway, I felt a feeling of dread crawl up my spine. My mind began to play out different scenarios on how this could go.Enzo may just give us a harsh scolding and then let us go, or he would kick me out of the clan. I swallowed and shook my head. There was no way that would happen. Enzo wanted me here, to stay for good. I exhaled sharply to calm my thumping heart as we approached his office.Enzo opened the door and stood by it, waiting for us to go in first. Bianca and I shared a look before holding hands and walking into his office. Once we were in, Enzo walked in and slammed the door shut with a great intensity that made me flinch. I had to look back, to examine the door, to see if it had broken from the sheer force.Enzo walked to his desk and sat down on it.“Why did you go outside the clan premises for a run Bianca?” Enzo asked
CLAIRE's POVThe worried look on Luis’ face struck me with a lot of questions, as well as fill me with extreme worry. Luis was not the type to come to my bedroom, especially in the middle of the night, so I knew something was up.I gazed at him with worry in my eyes and spoke.“Of course, we can talk.”Luis looked around the hallway a bit frantically and peered into my room before turning his gaze to me.“Not here, let us talk in my room.” He said, a pleading look in my eyes.I turned to look at Bianca and saw that she was still fast asleep. I sighed and slipped out of my room, shutting the door as silently as possible behind me. Luis nodded and started down the hallway. I followed behind him carefully until we reached his room. Luis pushed open the door and held it for me. I walked in and I heard the door click softly behind me. I made myself comfortable on Luis’ small bed and my eyes began to wander around the room. Luis’ room was not as extravagant as mine. It was in fact the com
CLAIRE's POVI could not fathom the happiness that exploded within me the moment my eyes fell on Daniel. I was about to take a step forward, towards his direction when I began to recall how he had suddenly bailed on us, which led us to our current predicament. I stood a step back, making sure I was standing beside Luis as I folded my arms.“What are you doing here?” I questioned in a rather hostile and firm tone.Daniel went grim and a soft sigh escaped his lips.“I can understand your fury, but let me explain t-““Explain what? The fact that you left us hanging at the crucial moment? Do you know the things we went through because of your absence?” Luis snarled with his eyebrows furrowed.Daniel raised his hands up in the air, a sign of defeat and surrender.“I cannot imagine what you both went through, but bailing on you was not intentional and was not within my control,” Daniel said, his eyes gazing at me, pure and without any deceit. I eyed him for a while and spoke.“Why did you
