CLAIRE's POV
How 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?

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 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 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,
CLAIREBright blue eyes stared back at me. I could barely recognize the girl standing before me. Her jet black hair stood firmly in a tight bun. The deep creases on her forehead and her terribly sunken collarbone made her look gaunt. We both could not believe she would still be alive to experience a new age. A new age of suffering. "Why are you standing there? Get back to work, you sleazy little wolf," a female voice barked out the order and slashed her whip across my back. Sighing deeply, I dragged my eyes away from my haunting reflection in the mirror and went back to scrubbing the toilet sinks. The angry she-wolf behind got even more annoyed that the biting stings of her whip had no effect on me and she whipped me some more, raining curses on me. I was already immune to these pains, three years was enough time to get accustomed to something….I felt a tear or two streak down my cheeks as my skin welcomed each blow until the matron felt she had dealt with me enough. She only twi
ENZO"Tell me why exactly you think this is a great idea." My uncle said as had crashed my meeting this afternoon seething with anger."What do you speak of, Uncle?" I asked impassively, even though I knew very well what he was on about. "The transformation rite, Enzo.""Oh that," I shifted in my seat and stroke my chin. I had stamped the bill that morning and the news had spread like wildfire already. It was however accepted with mixed feelings. "What the hell are you thinking?" He bawled. My beta, Kane, shifted uncomfortably beside me. He did not appreciate the tone my uncle used on me. I told him through the mind link to stand down. "And why does it have you riled up?" I enquired, cocking a brow. "This smart idea of yours is going to tip the system. The omegas? They are as important as they are infinitesimal." "I do not see how," I replied. "If all the omegas undergo this rite and they pass, who then would take up their roles in the pack?" He retorted. In as much as I did
CLAIRE's POVWhen the news of the transformation rite got to the hall, the other omegas danced for joy. Everyone was excited and would not stop chirping about the ceremony that was now two days away. I did not understand what the fuss was about. This rite had been abandoned for years. Surely, there was a reason our ancestors wanted nothing to do with it anymore. What if this was also not successful? What happened to us omegas? I could imagine the double shame and ridicule we would face. We failed at doing the one thing every wolf was born with, twice. I refused to blossom the hope, I refused to try. I would rather sit this one out than face the disgrace all over again. I threw on an old loose gown as I watched the wolves chatter excitedly. Some even tried out new outfits they had never worn. It was indeed a beautiful morning. It had been a long time since the omegas had been this enthusiastic about anything. "File out," the matron barked out. Nobody had noticed when she arrived
CLAIRE"...Because I love you... All these I did for you..."Those sweet words from Alpha Enzo reeled in my mind as I put on the red dress he had presented to me on my birthday. He had requested I wore it today, the day of the transformation rite ceremony. The long dress shimmered as I twirled, flowing down my scrawny body and hiding away all my years of sufferings. I had to admit I looked beautiful in it. It had been a very long time since I donned something nice. "...I want to make you mine..." The confession made me warm inside and I held my chest to tame my thundering heart. All my life, no one had made me feel this way. I could recall Blaire taunting me every time I smiled shyly when Alpha Enzo's name was mentioned. I thought she was being silly. But I guessed now, it all made sense. I did feel something for him, even though I was not sure it could be called love. I combed my hair, deciding to let the black bangs cascade down my shoulder to complement my exposed neckline.
CLAIRE's POVI could hear the loud gasps and the sudden but hushed whispers all around the ground filled with my pack members.I did not think these wolves would ever be anything to mine. They were all horrible. All except for two.How could anyone want an omega? Who in his right senses would leave gold and other valuable items for a useless omega? There was no way he wanted me as tribute. What the actual fuck?I could feel it, I could feel their disdain and shock at what just happened. Honestly, I was just as shocked.Did he hit his head or something? Why would he want someone like me?Well, I knew the reason. I knew the reason and he seemed to know it as well. Why else would he say such an absurd thing?Mates.I almost scoffed in disbelief.The moon goddess made us fucking mates.I repeated the word in my head countless times as if that would make the situation even more understandable.It did not help.I looked him over, suddenly everyone was forgotten as I studied the hulking, d

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
