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 POV My eyes were fixed on Emmaline and Danica, who were passing out instructions to me, but my mind was far away from them. I could feel it. A heavy gaze on my back.As I glanced back, I caught a glimpse of Dominik and my heart almost jumped out of my chest. What on earth was he doing here at the training grounds? I suddenly began to feel a discomfort at his presence and I could not shake off the feeling of his eyes on me.I tried to focus on my training, but Dominik’s presence had done a number on me. I could not cast the fire spell I had cast a few minutes ago, no matter how much I tried.“Claire? What is the matter? You were casting the fire spell just fine a few moments ago.” Danica said as she approached me.“I just got a little distracted, I am fine.” I said and shot her a reassuring look.“I am guessing you are disoriented because of alpha Dominik standing over there.” Emmaline said as she nudged her head towards Dominik’s direction.My cheeks flushed a bright red and
CLAIRE's POVThe tension between Dominik and Aldean grew by each passing minute and the atmosphere in the training ground had gone sour and still.There was tension in the air, but all my mind could focus on was the feel of Dominik’s hand wrapped tightly around my waist and the way my back pressed against his muscular body.His musky scent filled my nose and a shiver ran down my spine. I could not believe that my mind was beginning to fill with dirty thoughts in this situation.“This is not your wolf clan and I do not care if she is your mate. This is our training time and you do not have any right to obstruct it,” Aldean snapped at Dominik.I was in complete awe as I watched Aldean stand up to Dominik, the most feared alpha. Not many people had the guts to stand up to Dominik.A thought crossed my mind and I instantly went solemn. What if Domink got angry and attacked Aldean? That outcome would not end well.I glanced at Dominik and my heart sank at the scowl on his face. This was no
