CLAIRE's POVI became disoriented as the speed of the large rock coming towards me began to multiply. I could hear Emmaline and Danica yelling at me to cast a protection spell but I was frozen, unable to move my mouth or my hands.The rock flew by me, grazing my skin and I heard it crash to the ground behind me. Beads of sweat began to form on my forehead and I could feel it drip down to my cheek.“Seems like I missed.” Martha said with a small smirk tugging on her lips.Missed? There was no way she missed. She did it intentionally. Was she toying with me? From the smug look on her face, I already had my answer.“Get ready, I will not say it again.” Martha threatened.I exhaled and began to chant the protection spell as Martha slung another large rock at me. The same yellow light appeared in-between my hands and it was just as unstable as it was the first time.I muttered curses and tried to stabilise the spell, but it was too late. The large rock came flying towards me. I used my han
DOMINIK's POVWeeks had gone by and the uneasiness in my chest still remained. Being without Claire had taken a huge toll on me, more than I had expected it to.I began to regret my decision on leaving her with her captors. I felt rage at the thought that my mate was in the hands of another clan. How dare they take her away from me?I banged my fist on the wooden table and several cracks appeared on the surface. It was getting harder to control myself as the days went by.I ran my hands through my hair and let out a harsh breath. I needed to calm myself down. But my wolf would not let me be. He cried out to me, pleading with me to go after our mate and take her back from the clutches of those wolves.Wolves.A low growl escaped my lips. My mate was in the hands of other wolves. What if they had touched her? My seething rage exploded into a full blown anger and I drove my fists into the table.The table shattered from the impact and I stood behind the mess I made, heaving heavily. This
DOMINIK's POVMy mind was racing, my heart thumping loudly in my chest. If Claire was not here, then where on earth could she have gone? Was she taken away by another clan? My mind began to fill with questions.I doubled checked the cellars again and there was nothing, no single life in each cell. I growled loudly and marched back up the stairs as my chest puffed with anger.My eyes met with the female wolves cowering in the corner and I approached them, my eyes burning with anger.“Where the fuck is my mate?!” I bellowed at them, a low growl escaping my lips as I did.They all whimpered and shielded their faces away from me.“S-She is being k-kept in the cel-““You dare lie to me, to my face?!” I screamed.“W-We tell no lies. She is indeed in the cellars.” One of the female wolves spoke up.An unquenchable rage overwhelmed me and I could felt my wolf burning with the same anger I felt. “Alpha!” Luis yelled from a distance.He jogged over to me and I grabbed him by the collar.“Sear
CLAIRE's POVThe cool evening breeze gracing my skin brought a smile to my face. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the relaxing sensation it brought. I stood in the woods, my aim was to have Elide go on a little evening run.Aside from training and spending quality time with Emmaline, Danica and the other witches, I also enjoyed taking occasional evening runs. It was fun, exhilarating, and most of all, Elide loved it.I placed the folded change of clothes I had brought with me down on a tree stump and exhaled sharply.“Okay Elide....”I closed my eyes and my limbs began to change. Fur covered my legs and they became sturdier and stronger. I finally morphed into Elide and she howled into the air, her voice echoing within the trees.She took off in an instant, running on all fours and huffing happily. As I viewed the woods through Elides eyes, I enjoyed the feeling of running, unchained through the woods.It made me feel like I was free and unstoppable. We ran for hours until Elide was final
DOMINIK's POVJust like Luis had said, my recent killing spree had attracted the attention of every clan and supernatural being. It stirred them up and my position had only gotten worse with each passing day.I could feel the tension and the angry stares that came my way each time I was out going about my business. Every being knew me as the ruthless alpha. I was feared and revered everywhere. But now, all I could feel towards me was hate. Annihilating a whole clan was something I had never done before. According to my beta Luis, it broke the balance. Clans of the same species were not meant to battle against each other, except need be.I, however, did not feel a single morsel of regret at my very actions. I felt great satisfaction at the fact that I had killed every single being that had taken my mate away from me.I opened my eyes slowly and saw Luis, pacing around my office frantically, his eyes glued to the ground. I could not phantom why this bothered him greatly, but it was qui
DOMINIK's POVMy mind was a whirlpool 9f thoughts and questions. They danced in my head, refusing to let me be. I had Carlos leave my office for a few minutes to deliberate on his offer.I could not make this decision alone. Luis had told me the offer was not a bad one, but a part of me was still skeptical. Carlos was my long time rival and enemy. We were neck ad neck with each other.Why would he want to help me all of a sudden? My rationality was telling me not to trust him, but I knew that if I refused his offer, there would not be another way for me to resolve this issue.I began to pace around the empty hallway of the pack house as my eyes stayed glued on the floor, my mind pondering long and hard on the situation around me. Claire was missing. My reputation was slowly going into the mud and Carlos had brought his offer to me.I muttered a series of curses under my breath when I heard footsteps approaching me. I tore my eyes away from the floorboards and saw Luis walking over to
DOMINIK's POVA young girl, about the same age as Claire stepped into my office, her cheeks a bright red as she tried to hold my gaze. Her eyelashes fluttered as she blinked, her murky green eyes possessed a glint of innocence in them.“It is nice to meet you alpha. My name is Cora.” She said fluently and bowed slightly, her strawberry blonde hair swaying with her movements.I looked from Cora to Carlos and saw no resemblance whatsoever, but pushed the thought aside. I assessed Cora’s features carefully.She was indeed beautiful. Her porcelain, white skin was radiant and she looked like a work of art, but I found myself comparing her to Claire.No matter how gorgeous she looked, she could never take the place of Claire. Her murky green eyes were nothing in comparison to Claire’s bright blue eyes that looked like sky.“She is also a very strong wolf.” Carlos added as he stood behind his daughter, a hand on her shoulders.I nodded. I could tell from her frame and demeanor. Our eyes met
CLAIRE's POV “And there as, I call the spirit of fire, no sprite of fire...lend me your prowress- powers-“I groaned and slammed the spell book shut. I fell back to the bed and gazed at the dark ceiling in my dimly lit room. Apart from brawling and getting physical practice, it was also crucial that I learnt the spells.My eyes wandered to the window in front of me and I stared absentmindedly at the reddish sun that seemed to be setting in the distance.The empress had handed me a spell book and urged me to learn the spells. Witches who had mastered their craft knew the spell book like the back of their hand. They did not need to look at the book, to know the chants for each spell they wanted to cast.And that was the level I was aiming at, even though it seemed like I was not going to get there any quick. I sighed and picked myself up from the bed. I opened the spell book and took another look at the fire spell.I read through the lines and decided to chant it again.“....lend me yo
