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
CLAIRE's POVThe ground shook like it was being attacked by an earthquake. I quickly grabbed unto the wooden frame of the bed to stop myself from falling to the ground. The sudden loud noise and the vibrations of the ground, put me in a state of distress and fear. I made a sharp turn to Luis and noticed that his eyes were fixed intently on the window. What was he looking at? As I opened my mouth to speak to him, he hurried to the window, despite the violent quake. Luis pried the window open with such a speed I had never seen before. As soon as the window flew open, the sounds of intense wailing and screaming caught my attention. I steadied myself and walked over to the window. The scene before me left me completely dumbfounded and in a state of utter shock.Enzo's clan was being ravished by attackers. Under the bright moonlight, I could see their fearful features. Most of them wore thick silver and bronze armour, clad from head to toe, holding large swords in their hands, which the
CLAIRE's POVThe warrior standing in front of with bloodshot eyes and a menacing smile swung her blade at me. I reacted fast and squatted down, causing her blade to fly over my head with great speed. The woman with large wings hollered and raised her sword up in the air.I watched in horror as she swung it down towards me. My body began to move on its own. I rolled to the side and her blade came landing on the floor, the spot where I had been crouched down. I stared at her blade in horror.Her eyes snapped to me, and her grin slowly disappeared. She seemed displeased, that her blade had not cut me down yet. I did not hesitate. I picked myself up from the ground and bolted away from her. She looked way out of my league, stronger than me.A part of me wanted to fight back, but another part of me could see the difference in strength. My magic powers would not stand a chance against her. I ran through the clan grounds, that had now become a battle field. I jumped over bodies and ducked pa
CLAIRE's POVI groaned and clutched my shoulder as more blood spilled from the wound. At this point, I feared that I would bleed out to death. "Claire!" I heard someone scream my name.I made a sharp turn in the direction of the voice, and my eyes fell on Luis. He ran up to me, his breath haggard and his face stained with blood."Are you hurt anywhere?" I asked as my eyes frantically scanned his body from heard to toe."I am fine, this blood is not mine," he replied with a nod.I let out a sigh of relief and actually felt stupid for worrying about him. I watched his eyes trail down to my shoulder and he frowned."I should be asking you the same question. Are you alright?"I grimaced and moved my hand aside. Luis went solemn as he gazed at the injury. He quickly sheathed his sword and walked closer to me. I watched him rip a piece of his clothing and he held the torn piece up to my face."Hold still, we need to stop the bleeding or you might die."I swallowed and nodded. Luis began t
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
