CLAIRE's POV“Your reaction speed is too slow Claire!” Danica yelled at me.I was laying flat on the floor, after being hit countless of times by Danica’s flames. I groaned and pushed myself up from the ground, determined to not give up and continue the training.“You can do it Claire!” Emmaline cheered from the sidelines.I shot her a thankful look and focused back on Danica, who was already chanting her next set of spells. Danica and Emmaline, the only friends I had made here, had offered to help me train and hone my innate witch powers.Thrilled by their offer, I gladly accepted and we trained every single second we could. Emmaline and Danica were not top tier witches, but their powers were strong enough to train me.My eyes wandered around the trainings grounds, where other witches trained. Some trained together, while some used the immobile wooden dummies to hone their skills.“Wow...” I breathed as I watched each witch exhibit their magic powers.Some shot light beams from their
CLAIRE's POVThe voice I heard behind me was unfamiliar and for some reason, it sounded unpleasant. Emmaline and Danica however, had a frown on their face.I turned to see who they were staring at and my eyes fell on another witch. She was taller, about six feet tall from my calculations. Her almond shaped eyes held brown coloured orbs in them that stared at us with disdain and contempt.Her thin black hair was tied up in a tight bun and her hands were planted on her hips as she smirked at us. I had never seen her before, neither did I know her, but I felt an uneasiness creep down my spine as she approached us.“What the fuck do you want Martha?” Danica snapped with a scowl on her face.Did they know each other? I felt Emmaline lean towards me and whisper into my ear.“That is Martha. She is a big bully. She is higher than us in ranking and age. Her habits of bullying new witches in the guise of wanting to help them train knows no bounds. In summary, she is an evil bitch.”I shuddered
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
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
