CLAIRE's POVThe feel of the wind tousling my hair about woke me up from my deep slumber. My body felt as heavy as a rock, but I felt comfortable where I lay.I opened my eyes slowly and saw trees and bushing whipping past me in speed. I blinked and noticed that I was on someone’s back.My eyes went up and it fell on the back of Dominik’s hair. His hair moved with the wind as he ran. I looked to my side and saw Luis running beside us.My mind went back to what had happened earlier. I had used my magic powers to protect myself from my attackers. The thought sent a thrill through me and it filled me up with an indescribable amount of happiness.It meant that all my days of training relentlessly in the witches’ coven had not been a waste of time. My eyes went wide the moment I recalled Dominik’s words.I was still in awe. I could not believe that Dominik had said those words to me. He had praised me, something he had never done before. Did that mean that he did not see me as a weak wolf
DOMINIK's POV Cora appearing in the pack house out of the blue was not something I had anticipated. Why the fuck had she shown up like that?I muttered curses under my breath as I dragged Cora up the stairs with me. The only thing on my mind was Claire, and how broken she had looked when Cora had blurted out the plans for our marriage.I was at a loss of words on how to explain everything to Claire, but what exactly was I going to say? I did agree to marry Cora, I had no excuses to give. Once we got into my office, I flung Cora in and shut the door behind me once Luis had come in. I glared at Cora, but she did not seemed fazed at all.She retained the cocky smile on her lips and her eyes gleamed with happiness and fascination.“Did your father really send you here?” I questioned.She frowned at me and pouted her lips.“Do you not believe my words, alpha? You know I would never lie to you,” she cooed.I was getting irritated with her behaviour by the minute.“And he said we should bo
CLAIRE's POVBattered. That was the only way I could describe how I was feeling at the moment. I was crushed. I felt like I had been thrown against the wall countless of times.I stood at the entrance of the pack house where Dominik had left me with another girl. I was frozen there, in a state of shock and disbelief.What had gone wrong? I thought things were going good between Dominik and I, but it seemed like I was totally wrong about that. Was I the only one that felt the connection between the both of us? Had I been lost in my own delusions, a delusion where Dominik had finally developed feelings for me?My eyes burned with tears at the harsh reality. Dominik had gotten a bride, and even more so, when I was being held captive. Had he planned on replacing me all this time?The tears that pricked my eyes spilled out and my chest became heavy with sadness and an unending sorrow. How could he do this to me? How could he hurt me times without number and not even care about how I feel?
LUIS's POVAs I walked down the hallway hastily, l held a few clothes in my hands for Claire and me to change into once we had finished our run. I slowed down when I recalled Claire and the look she had on her face. She seemed really hurt, seeing Dominik together with another woman and hearing that she was going to be his wife.I could understand her pain. She was in love with Dominik, so it was only natural that she would feel that way. And Dominik did not reciprocate her feelings.It was the one thing I could not stand. Claire was my very good friend and I hated seeing her hurt. I sighed to myself and picked up the pace again. I did not want to keep her waiting.As I made a turn into the next hallway, I immediately bumped into Dominik, stopping me in my tracks instantly. “Why are you in such a hurry?” he questioned while giving me a puzzled a look.I watched as his eyes slowly trailed to the clothes I held and his brows suddenly twisted into a nasty snarl.“What the hell are you d
CLAIRE's POVI looked at Luis with anticipation and a hint of fear. What exactly was in the bushes. I morphed back into my human self and threw on the clothes Luis had brought while keeping my gaze fixed on him.Something was wrong.Luis was not moving and not saying a word. He just stared at the bush. Immediately I had worn my clothing, I approached cautiously and craned my neck to look at him.Luis had his mouth hung wide open and his eyes fixed on the bushes. A perplexed look was plastered on his face and that got me wondering what had made him so transfixed.I heard a subtle whimper coming from the bushes and I snapped my head towards that direction. In the bushes lay a woman. She was crouched down and occasionally stole fearful glances at Luis and me.“My mate,” Luis muttered.I snapped my head back at him with my eyes wide. Did he just say....my mate?I looked back at the woman and then back at Luis. What was going on?“Luis?” I called out to him.He ignored me and moved closer
CLAIRE's POVAfter Luis’ meeting with Aurora, I noticed that they spent so much more time together. I would occasionally catch them together in the gardens, the hallways, walking hand in hand.It felt like they did not go anywhere without each other.And finally, Luis had come out and announced Aurora as his mate. Dominik seemed to be happy for him, but did not bother himself about it too much. I on the other hand, felt like he was taking things to fast.How could he be so sure that she was his mate? I understood that perhaps, they might have felt the mating bond, but everything was happening too suddenly.But I could not protest. Seeing Luis genuinely happy and brimming with life was enough for me. As long as he was happy with her, then I saw no need to question his choices.As I sauntered around the corridor aimlessly, my eyes wandered around, looking for a source of entertainment. It had been weeks since we had gotten back from the witch’s coven and how I missed my friends, Emmalin
CLAIRE's POV“Well, would you look at this, is this not a sight to behold? The two weak losers of the pack are now friends,” Sorcha jeered.I snapped my head and looked behind me, to find Sorcha, and a couple of her underlings standing in front of Aurora and me. She had her hands folded and was gazing down at me with a mocking stare.“So, since I kicked you out of my group, you decided to get cozy with this weak wolf? Just how much lower can you fall?”As if on que, Sorcha’s minions began to laugh behind her. It brought a smirk to her face, one that angered me. “Whoever said I was hanging out with this loser?” Aurora spat with a frown on her face.I turned to her sharply and glared at her. She definitely had a problem with me.Sorcha’s loud chortle caught my attention and I turned back to her. She was laughing uncontrollably and when she had finally calmed down, her gaze switched to me.“Even this good for nothing wolf does not want anything to do with you. Can you see how utterly pa
CLAIRE's POVIt had been weeks since I had a run in with Sorcha, her gang and Cora. I spent most of the day laying in bed staring at the ceiling, thinking about nothing but Dominik, Cora and Aurora.It threw me into a state of depression and I did not want to leave my room through out the whole day. It felt like I was drowning, sinking deeper into water and there was no one to drag me out.I sighed to myself and turned to my side on the bed. I needed someone to talk to, no, I craved for another person’s presence. The presence of a friend. Emmaline was not here, Danica was not here, and Blaire was not here either.Luis was not around either as he had been sent out to scout the area by Dominik and had not been back for a week. I was positive that Aurora would be missing him very much, seeing as they could not stay away from each other, even for a minute.I wanted to talk to Luis, like we always did. I wrapped my hands around myself and raised my knees up to my stomach. My mind wandered
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
