CLAIREMy eyes remained fixed on the crowd, curious to know what was going on. The crowd began to dispatch and everyone seemed panicked as they ran."What the hell is going on?" Mel muttered."Everyone the exits have been blocked!" Someone screamed from the frantic crowd.Mel dashed out of the ring, curious to see what was going on. With my eyes still fix on the running witches, I slowly walked out of the cage and ran up the stairs. Once I got to the top, I could finally see what was going on.A few older witches were restricting the other witches that had crowded to watch the fight. Within the older witches, I noticed a very familiar face. It was aunt Axera. Her eyes met mine and her face lit up."Claire!" She exclaimed and ran to me.She put a hand on my shoulder and examined me."Are you alright?" She asked with so much concern in her eyes.I nodded, but my confusion was high. "What are you doing here? How did you find this place?" I inquired."Well, your friends, Emmaline and Da
DOMINIK's POV"Load the carriages!" I yelled at by men as I stood outside the pack house.I had made up my mind to confront my first enemy, Carlo, once and for all. It was a long time coming and I felt like it needed to happen. Another reason was because of his so called daughter Cora.Once I found out the truth about her, and how she tried to take Claire away, I immediately knew that she would cause more trouble in the future and that involved trying to take Claire again.I understood that Claire was a special entity, but I had not fully understand how special she was. People were going to be after her because of that and it was up to me to prevent that from happening.The moment I had left the witches clan after seeing Claire, my plan was to confront Cora about the whole thing. I planned to take her as a hostage and lure Carlo into my den, but my plan did not hold. The moment I got back to my clan, Cora has disappeared without a trace.It did not surprise me much. She must've know
DOMINIK's POVCarlo and I maintained eye contact for a while. For someone who has a sword pierced into his arm, he seemed rather calm. I turned my gaze to the area around us and I was completely satisfied with what I saw.My men stood victorious and they had managed to overwhelm an defeat Carlo's men. "See this Carlo? This shows that you are not a match for me. You would never me able to defeat, so concede defeat now." I said firmly as my gaze turned back to him.To my surprise, his lips widened into a grin. I could see his white set of teeth, which was covered in blood. He began to laugh loudly and even it made me feel anxious and uncomfortable.Why was he laughing like he had everything under control? I glared at him and pushed my sword even further into his arm. He let out a cry of pain and spat out blood."You are so clueless, it is amusing to watch," he chuckled."What the fuck are you talking about?"He chuckled again and grinned."You really think you have won? But that is wha
CLAIRE's POVI walked through the forest, my aunt Axera by my side. We were on our way to a clearing where we would begin the training in the use of the elements - fire and water.I knew my weak points and my strong points in using the elements. I had a strong affinity for wind, healing, and protection magic, my I found it hard to master the other elements, fire, and water.Aunt Axera had chosen the outskirts of the woods as our training spot for today. According to her, it would be easier to use and hone my mana if we were surrounded by nature."Are you ready, Claire?" Axera asked, a hint of a smile on her face.I nodded, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. I had been training my witch powers for the past few months, and this was the next step in my journey, a big step. Aunt Axera had told me that it was normal to have an affinity for one element and hone that particular element, but I did not want to settle for less.As we reached the clearing, Axera gestured for me to take

CLAIRE's POVI stand in the empress' office, my eyes locked on the man in front of me. He turned his head to me and my heart skipped a beat as he looked at me with his red an hour orbs. The last time we met, he gave me a bracelet that would awaken my other powers. I began to recall everything that had happened after I had awakened my powers with the bracelet.The great surge of power that flowed through my veins, something I had never experienced before. It was a thrilling experience, but since it was an unknown power, the fact that I could use it was a bit terrifying for me.I had questions for him, and I needed answers."Claire," the empress says, interrupting my thoughts. "Daniel here introduced himself to me and says he wants to speak with you, urgently."I nod, unable to find my voice as I continue to stare at him. I couldn't help but think about the bracelet he had given me, and how it had helped me and Luis escape from that situation. Without that bracelet, Luis would have been
CLAIRE's POVI ran down the hallway, my heart pounding with excitement. I clutched the painting tightly in my hands, trying not to let my nerves get the best of me. I knew that this was my mother in the painting, but aunt Axera's confirmation was going to seal the deal.I brushed past witches, who gave me weird looks as I was running down the hall like a maniac, but what they thought of me at the moment was the least of my concern.I reached the top of the stairs and ran all the way down to the bottom. I stopped for a while and looked away. Where exactly was aunt Axera? I recalled that I had left her and Emmaline when I got told that Daniel was waiting for me, but where was she now?I bolted down the hallway, a particular place in mind. I cut into the hallway by the left and spotted aunt Axera's room door. I jogged up to it and exhaled. Clutching the painting tighter than ever, I hit my knuckles softly on the door and waiting nervously for a response."Who is it?" Her voice resonated
CLAIRE's POVAs I ran down the hallway, my heart pounded with anticipation. All my mind was focused on was finding Daniel and asking him more questions. I also recalled that he mentioned wanting to tell me something important. My heart was pounding in my chest as I wondered what he could possibly want to discuss with me.I breezed down the stairs and came to a halt. Where could Daniel be? I looked around and my eyes fell by a window. The sun was setting rather quickly and the yellowish red sky, was turning dark.I needed to find him as soon as possible. I would not be able to wait for another day to talk to him.I decided to check the garden, the last place I had met him. I breezed down the hallway and out of the main building through the backdoor. I burst out into the side garden and my eyes scanned the area for him. The trees and flowers fluttered with the wind, and in between two oak trees, he stood.I let my gaze linger on him for a while, I was curious as to what he doing. Daniel
