CLAIRE's POVDays had gone by, but those days felt like months. Each day, I spent with Vera, who would forcefully drag me out of my room, because according to her, sitting in my room all day was not a healthy thing to do.She would take me to have tea with her, or try out a new flavour of cakes she had prepared. Vera also took me along with her to play a sports called tennis. She played with one of the maids and all I could do was watch in awe. It was a very fascinating sport and all I could do was sit and watch them play.Today was a weekend and I was holed up in my room as usual. There was nothing for me to do in the palace, so I stayed in bed. The only time I needed to leave was during dinner. The maids always served breakfast and lunch to me, in my room. This was because father was out for work and the whole family needed to eat together.I figured it was some kind of traditional, but I was honestly glad that I did not have to sit with Eliana and Diana all the time. After what she
CLAIRE's POVFrom Vera's joyful personality, it was very easy to know that she was a very outgoing person, but I never expected her to be this extroverted. As we walked don't the streets of the busy city, Vera would occasionally stop to have a small talk with someone.She would talk to one or two people before we walk again, but she would stop once more and talk to more people. As we walked down the street, I looked up at her. Vera's eyes were scanning all around us, gleaming with excitement."Do you know all these people you just talked to?" I asked.Vera looked down at me, her face still gleaming with happiness."Well, of course. Most of them are acquaintances I've met a few times on my trips to the city."It was still quite surprising that she knew a lot of people despite her status as the clan master's wife. We ventured deeper into the heart of the city and the whole area was even busier. The sun was shining and the streets were busy with people, vendors selling their wares, and
CLAIRE's POV"The library?" I nodded at Vera. We were seated at the balcony in her room, sharing breakfast together. I had a plate of eggs, bacon, and a crossiant, and beside this was a cup of coffee, the perfect meal to start the day.Vera raised an eyebrow and gave me a questioning look."Why are you so curious on where the library is?"I froze. I could not tell her that I wanted to train my powers. I was going to keep this training a secret no matter what."I, love books and it's a great way to pass time."Vera's eyes gleamed and a grin slowly formed on her lips."Why, you should have said that a long time ago! You see, I love reading to, I can recommend a lot of good books for you!" She grinned.I nodded and took a bite out of my crossiant."Well," she continued. "The library is ok the third floor of the palace, inbetween the art gallery and a storage room. It should not be hard to locate.""Thank you," I said and poked my fork into the bacon, shoving it into my mouth.We continu
CLAIRE's POVI couldn't believe what I was hearing. Diana wanted to get me in trouble. Why?I had never done anything to deserve this treatment, and yet Diana was hell-bent on making my life miserable. Before I could bat an eyelid, she marched towards one of the shelves and began tearing pages out of a book.I gasped, horrified by her actions. My eyes went wide and for a moment, I stayed frozen in one place."Stop it, Diana!" I shouted, lunging towards her to try and stop her."You think you can just do whatever you want?! I'm going to show you that I am not to be messed with!" She chuckled.Diana pushed me away from her and all I could do was stare as she demolished the pages of several books.It was too late already. Diana had already destroyed a few pages, and she continued to rip through the book with no remorse. I could feel my anger and frustration building inside me, and I walked up to her, pushing her away from the shelf.Diana looked at me, stunned by my action. A scowl slowl
CLAIRE's POVI sat at the large wooden table in the library of my father's palace, surrounded by stacks of books with torn pages. Each page was a sad reminder of my stepsister's cruel act of tearing them apart to get me into trouble. Diana despised me, and this was her latest attempt to make my life a misery.I couldn't believe that my father had bought into Diana's obvious lies and punished me by giving me the daunting task of repairing all the torn books. He even let her go scott free, even though she had inflicted injuries on me.It was then realization hit me. I was nothing to him. I thought I was important to him, seeing as I was the daughter of his first wife who he loved very much. He had gone through a lot, just to look for me, bit this is how I was treated.I bit my lips and gazed at the ugly pieces of paper laying on the table.I was sad and angry, but I had no choice but to complete the task if I wanted to avoid being thrown out of the palace. My father would always favor D
CLAIRE's POVI sat cross-legged on my bed, surrounded by stacks of books and parchment scrolls, which I had fished from the library. The room was silent except for the occasional rustle of pages as I delved deeper into my father's clan history. The more I read, the more fascinated I became with their powers.My father's clan had the ability to move objects with their minds. It was called telekinesis, and it allowed them to manipulate the world around them in ways that were almost unimaginable. They could lift heavy objects, move things without touching them, and even fly through the air with ease.It was a strange power, one that has never been heard of before. Back in the other realm, I was under the impression that there were only two clans; the witches and the wolves. It never occurred to me that another realm such as this would exist.As I read, I could almost feel the power coursing through my veins, as if I too had the ability to move things with my mind. I decided to give it a
CLAIRE's POVAs I stepped out into the garden, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over me. My father, Vera, and stepsisters had left for the day, leaving me with the perfect opportunity to practice my powers in peace. Vera has originally come up to my room and invited me to go with them for shopping, but I refused.I would rather spend my day, training than waste it going shopping with Eliana and Diana, who hated my guts with a burning passion. As I walked into the garden, I took in its beautiful features. The garden was a lush, vibrant oasis with an array of flowers in full bloom. The scent of roses and lavender filled the air, making it the perfect setting for my training.I took a deep breath and looked around. The garden was well-maintained with neat rows of hedges and trees, creating a perfect spot for me to work on my powers. As I walked around, I could feel the energy within me building up, and I knew I had to start practicing.I focused my gaze on the tall tree i
CLAIRE's POVI set myself up in the middle of my room, a large open space, pushing away anything that would obstruct or hinder my movements. I was taking Alan's words to heart and my goal for today was to train, all by myself. I took his advice and began my routine, determined to learn how to move objects with my mind.I got down on the floor and positioned my hands shoulder-width apart. My arms trembled as I lowered myself down, and I felt the strain in my muscles. I pushed myself back up, gritting my teeth as I felt the burn in my arms and chest. The sweat dripped down my forehead and onto the floor as I continued to struggle through the pushups.I did my best to keep my mind focused on the task at hand, but my thoughts kept drifting. I thought about how badly I wanted to learn how to use my father's clan powers quickly and how frustrated I was that I hadn't yet mastered telekinesis. I worried that my father might not want me again if I couldn't use the clan's powers. That thought
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
