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 POVI was stunned and her words hit me like I had taken a blow to the face. I opened my mouth to speak, to retaliate, but the damage I had taken had stopped me from countering what she said.“What is this? So I was right?” She scoffed and shook her head.I watched as she walked closer to me and jabbed a finger at me.“You stay away from my mate, you bloody slut,” she sneered.I swatted her hand away and glared at her. I was not going to stay mute and let her disrespect me like this.“I am not a slut, and I do not have anything do with Luis, nor do I want to have anything to do with him other than us being close friends. Do not push your disgusting jealousy on me. It is not my fault that Luis likes spending time with me,” I retorted with a smirk.I could see the veins pop up on her forehead as she clenched her teeth.“How dare you!” she yelled and before I could react, she landed a slap across my face.As I looked to the ground wide eyed, I held up my hands to my cheeks. Had s
CLAIRE's POVMy blood ran cold. I hoped and prayed that he was not the one standing behind me. As I turned around slowly, my heart began to race.My heart dropped when my eyes fell on Dominik. I hoped and prayed that it would not be him, but the moon goddess had fallen deaf to my prayers, as always. Dominik looked visibly angry and annoyed. Beside him stood Luis, who was giving me a disappointment look. It was then I really began to access the situation. I turned back to Cora and realised that my hands were still on her collar.As I looked up at her, I noticed tears had slipped down her cheeks. When did she start crying? I quickly let go of her and in an instant, she sobbed and ran towards Dominik.I snapped my head in their direction and the sight I beheld was enough to drive me insane. Cora had flung herself on Dominik and her head rested on his chest. I looked further down and saw that Dominik had looped an arm around her waist.“I did nothing to her and she threatened to rip out
DOMINIK's POVI dashed through the hallways, frantically searching for Claire. I had gone back to her room the moment Cora had let me go and my heart dropped when I did not find her there.The look on her face surfaced a slight pain in my heart. I could not phantom it, but my wolf had urged me and pushed me to look for Claire. Now that I had no idea on where she was, I felt myself panicking.Where on earth could she be?Had she run away from me? An anger surfaced within me and also a slight sadness. Claire could not leave me, no, I could not allow it.I ran down the hallway, checked each room, the living room, and every other place in the pack house. And then something dawned on me.I had no idea where Claire liked to stay in her free time, in fact, I knew nothing about her. I began to trudged down the stairs and then Sorcha caught my eye.She ran over to me and smiled.“Dominik, it has been a while since we saw each other. If you do not mind, how about we spend the rest of the evenin
CLAIRE's POVI felt suffocated as Dominik forcefully pressed his lips against mine. I parted my lips to gasp for air, and he slipped his tongue into mouth, deepening the kiss.I placed my hands on his chest to push him away, but he did not budge. He pressed me even closer to his body and ran a hand into my hair.Why was he doing this? Why was he always giving me mixed signals? I wanted to tell him to stop, I wanted to hit him so hard, he would let me go. But I found myself melting into his arms and enjoying his kiss.All the muscles in my body relaxed and I stopped sobbing. As our tongues linked, I found myself drowning in pleasure and I began to crave something more. I did not just want his hands around my waist, I wanted them all over my body, exploring each plane.But then, my mind flashed to the words Cora had said. Dominik had made love to her. My eyes flew open and it felt like I had regained my senses back. Anytime Dominik touched me, it felt like he was putting me under his co
LUIS's POV“I deduce that something happened between you and Claire?” I questioned Aurora as soon as I locked the room doors behind me.She blinked at me, then her eyes trailed to the ground slowly. I could tell she was avoiding the question with the way she bit her lips.“Tell me Aurora, what happened?” I asked.Her lips trembled, but she refused to meet my eye. I noticed the expression on her face when Dominik and U had stumbled on them in the hallway.From the distance, I could tell something heated was going on between Cora, Claire and Aurora. Thankfully Dominik had stepped in, but he dissolved the situation in a way that hurt Claire badly. I could not stand to see it, but I was more focused on Aurora, who was trembling an clutching me tightly.I sighed and walked closer to her.“So you are not going to answer my question?”She glanced at me, but remained silent. “I know you do not like Claire, Aurora. Are you perhaps, jealous of her?”Aurora snapped her head to my direction and
CLAIRE's POVThe things clouding my thoughts were nothing more than Dominik and Dominik alone. That one scene, the image of him leaving me all alone in the woods was stuck in my head.The despair I felt when he left me and walked away, hand in hand with Cora knew no bounds. Just how much more worse could things get? I broke down and cried that night, the next day and days after that.But now, I was more stable. But the memory remained inbuilt in my head as if to torture me and remind me that Dominik would never be fully mine.As I gazed out of the window in my room, I brushed my fingers over my lips and down to my neck. Those were the places Dominik had touched me. They still tingled and remembering his touch, made me crave more of him.I sighed to myself, a sad sigh, because I knew fully well that I would never get that opportunity again. I kept my gaze on the blue sky. The clouds floated around it. They looked free and had not a care in the world. I wished to be like that.As I los
