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
CLAIRE's POVA loud explosion erupted through the air, jerking me awake. I had hurried out of my room to find every witch already at the training ground. We all saw a large smoke engulfing the air. We were under attack.I had moved close enough to the empress to see that she had a terrified and yet worried look on her face.“That is impossible, we cannot be under attack... except the barrier was broken...” She muttered, just loud enough for me to make out what she was saying.More explosions rang through the air accompanied by blood chilling screams. It was then I realised the extent of the attack. My blood ran cold and my legs began to tremble. Who was attacking? Why were they attacking? Were we all going to die? It reminded of the day I had been captured from Dominik’s clan. The empress clicked her tongue as she began to take hurried footsteps away from us and towards the battlefield.“Empress! Let us go with you!” Emmaline and Danica chanted as they gazed at her with pleading ey
CLAIRE's POVI must have been out of my mind. I could have never imagined that one day, I would stand up to Dominik and refuse his order. But something was brewing inside of me. Was it anger? Or a burning confidence? It was a mix of both.Dominik squinted his eyes as a snarl curled up his lips. He was obviously not pleased by my reply. His face also held a shocked expression. Did he expect me to follow him back to the pack house like a little sheep? I grew more angry at the thought.“Are you refusing my orders?” Dominik said in a low tone.His voice was low, but menacing. It held weight and I shuddered. He walked closer to me and I took a step back like a wounded animal retreating into the farthest corner.“I do not want to leave this place. I would rather stay here than go back with you!” I yelled at him as I took more steps further, knowing fully well that my words may incur more of his wrath.A low growl escaped Dominik’s lips and his face twisted into an angry, vicious snarl. His
DOMINIK's POV“That is an utterly preposterous suggestion! I will not agree to that!.” The woman with purple eyes yelled at the top of her lungs drawing our attention to her.I for one did think that Luis’ suggestion was bizarre. How could I, stay in the witches coven? Unimaginable. But I knew he brought up the suggestion out of consideration for Claire.Due to how adamant she was on staying, it would take more than just convincing her to bring her back and it puzzled me. I had expected her to be more excited at my arrival.I had imagined that Claire would smile brightly and wrap her arms around me with delight, but I realized that my imagination was far fetched. What had I done to her, that would possibly make her feel this way?What had happened to her in the wolf’s clan? I could not imagine the horrible things they could have done to her while she was held captive there. It fueled my anger and i was glad that I had killed every single one of them.My eyes turned to Claire and I wen
CLAIRE's POVA gasp escaped my lips at the unexpected feel of Dominik’s lips on mine. The way he held me at the back of my neck possessively was enough to sent electrifying sparks trailing down my spine.He pulled me closer to him as he took bold possession of my lips, kissing me passionately with a strong hunger and yearning. My body ached for him, and I could tell that he wanted me too.His greedy lips were all of over mine, not giving me the time or space to breath, but I was not complaining. I was enjoying every single bit of it. My legs trembled as they heated up with desire, a hunger.I wanted Dominik to take me now and devour me whole. I absorbed the feel of his hard muscles against mine as I leaned closer into him. A low growl escaped his lips and he wrapped a hand around my waist.My vision spun as Dominik reversed our positions, laying me flat on the bed. And then our eyes met. His green orbs had darkened with lust and his gaze hardened as he stared at me. I went limp at hi
DOMINIK's POVI groaned and brushed my hands over the other side of the bed, expecting to feel another life form beside me. But to my disappointment, I was met with the cold surface of the empty bed.My eyes shot open and I confirmed that the bed indeed was empty. Where on earth had Claire disappeared to? I looked towards the dangling wall clock for the time and quickly noted that it was barely sunrise.I pulled myself up into a sitting position, the covers still laying on my body. My eyes moved to the position Claire had occupied the night before and memories came pouring into my mind like a flood.My plan was no to touch her. I was only meant to talk to her, and ask her more questions about the wolf clan and how she escaped, but my primal nature had gotten the best of me.I wanted her, so badly. It was like a deep rooted hunger and she was the only cure for it. I could not help but put my hands all over her and devour her whole.My mind wandered to her skin. Her white, fair skin tha
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
