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
CLAIRE's POVDaniel's words crashed on me like a boulder. I froze petrified as my mind sought to contain and understand the words he had told me. Dominik had been captured by Cora and Carlo? That was not a plausible statement. Infact it was impossible.Dominik was a strong alpha, the strongest in the whole clan. From the stories I heard, he had butted heads with Carlo a lot of times and he always cake out victorious, so it made no sense how he was at the mercy of Carlo, a mere prisoner. I turned my gaze to Daniel, my eyes burning with anger."What is this nonsense? Do you think this is something to joke about?" I spat.Daniel went grim and shook his head."Claire, I know it seems impossible, but it is true, Dominik has been captured by them," Daniel said and began to walk towards me.I took a step back, glaring at him with all my might."I said stop lying to me! Dominik can not be Carlo's prisoner! That is impossible!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.The whole garden fell quiet an
Chapter 202DOMINIKMy eyes creaked open and the moment they did, I felt a sharp pain, attack my head. I groan and attempted to move, but I was bound,bound by chains. There was a chain wrapped around my neck, my arms and my legs. It was quite amusing that Carlo would take such measures to ensure that I was held bound and unable to move at all.He must be really scared of me. The thought made me chuckle, and that ignited my headache further. As I lay on the musty floor, my mind wondered to my pathetic state. I could not believe that I, Dominik, a powerful wolf and leader of my own pack, was not reduced to nothing but a captive, bound by chains in this terrible cell. The walls were cold, damp, and the smell of rot and decay filled my nostrils. My muscles began to ache from being confined in this small space for who knows how long.I was still in awe on how Cora had managed to subdue me without even as much as lifting a finger. I still could not phantom who did was, and what kind of po
DOMINIKI glared at my captures, Carlo and Cora, as they stood before me. My blood boiled with anger, but there was nothing I could do as I was bound by these chains. I watched them converse with each other, but I could not make sense of their words."So, what will you do after you have gotten your hands on the hybrid?" Carlo asked as he folded his arms.Cora drummed her pedicures fingers on her chin, a smile curling up her lips."I am going to own her of course, bend her to my own will. She may not be powerful now, but she will be, once she unlocks her third power, which is the strongest of all," Cora chuckled.My eyes went wide and they burned with anger."If you as much as hurt a hair on Claire's head, I will rip you to shreds," I growled.I could feel my wolf, pressing me to let him out. I could feel his anger, just as much as mine, but this was something I wanted to handle myself.Cora turned her gaze away from Carlo and glared at me."That is big talk for someone that is bound a
CLAIRE's POVI sat in the clearing with my aunt Axera, my eyes closed as I tried to concentrate on the training. She was seated in front of me, and we were both meditating, filling up, and honing our mana. Both Danica and Emmaline, were beside me, going through the same training aunt Axera had given me. We were supposed to be training our powers, But my mind would not stay still. It was occasionally wandering off elsewhere, especially to Dominik.It had been three days, three painful days since Daniel had left the witch clan. Since I had not heard anything from him, I was constantly in a state of worry and my mind would occasionally ask a bunch of questions. Is he okay? Was he able to free Dominik? Is Dominik alright? Was he hurt? I could not stop my mind from making a fuzz out of the situation. Waiting to hear from Daniel for three days had been painful and I did not think I could do it for another day.I let out a sigh and felt an arm on my shoulder. My eyes popped open instantly
DOMINIK's POV"Urgh, do not apply so much on it," I growled at the old woman attending to the wound at the side of my stomach.She gave me a firm look and ignored my words as she applied more ointment to my wound. A sharp burning pain ran through the side of my stomach and it was taking me all I had to bear the pain.I began to curse Carlo for beating me up till I ended up in this state. If Daniel had not dealt with him, I would have cut of his head immediately. The old woman applied more ointment to my side and went to the next injury.My entire body was not in a good state. I was bed ridden and could barely lift a finger. The damage Cora and Carlo inflicted was a lot and this was also why I could not meet Claire once Daniel had freed me.Although I had asked that he take me to her, he refused. It angered me that he was restricting me from seeing her, but with my current state, there was really nothing I could do. My only choice was to beg him to at least let me deliver a letter to h
CLAIRE's POVI moment I stepped into the portal, I fell into a small, cramped up tunnel, that seemed to stretch out farther down. The cave was dark, and our only source of light, was the one shining at the end of the tunnel."Where are we?" I questioned, feeling a bit scared and nervous.This was the first time I had ever entered into a portal, so I was a bit disoriented."This is a space connecting the portal to our realm. It would not take us a lot of time to get out of here, do not worry," he said and offered me a hand.I took his hand and he pulled me up from the ground. We began to trudge down the tunnel, and the end was slowly approaching. As we reached the light, it seemed to engulf us. The light shone brightly, blinding me. I used my arm to shield my eyes as the light surrounded us.My eyes were closed shut, as I waited and expected the worse."Claire, you can open your eyes now," I heard Daniel say.Slowly, I took my arms away from my face and my eyes slid open. I was standi
