LUIS's POVIf I could, I would run away, hide from the gruesome scene I had been forced to watch, well. The hot sun shining on my face was making everything even worse. Sweat beaded the top of my lips when frustration and a very huge wave of fear gnawed on my guts as I watched the brutal fighting going on in the ring. I did not show it though, my face was still as stoic as ever. The Beta of the Black Claw clan would not be seen cowering in fear. I tried not to give her too much of my attention, the stubborn girl that was surprisingly lasting more than I ever thought. I wanted to run my hands through my hair and maybe pull them out due to sheer frustration at everything that was going on.The game everyone had been waiting for had started earlier that morning and I had entered the playground that was turned into a mini fighting arena to see that Claire, the fucking stubborn luna and my friend had still not chickened out from the competition. Instead, she had indeed partnered with Pe
CLAIRE's POVI ached all over, muscles straining, and bones weary. I could not seem to move a finger in fear of the searing pain that would overcome me.I was almost starting to regret ever joining the game, I had no idea that it would be this crazy, this gruesome. This painful.I was swollen all over. But somehow I was already starting to heal from most of the minor injuries.A small but pathetic and pained whimper left my lips as I felt the crowd go silent, watching, waiting to see if I would stand or if I was injured or maybe even dead. With the silence, a pin drop would be heard from miles away. I wondered what Domink would think, I wondered how he would feel, if he would be happy that I was finally gone. I wished to see his face. I wished to see him and see the look he had on his face while he watched me beaten up and all bruised.I had to stand, I would not go down, not now. Not when I had gotten this far, not while I had taken all their blows and kicks and still got up. I wou
CLAIRE's POVI could not believe I actually won the game. I, the weak omega, won the biggest competition of the year. The excitement was killing me. I wanted to run around in my wolf form with the wind in my furs, my heart pounded hard in my chest from the obvious victory and also the anger and frustration I felt from the last fight with Luis! He was the beta? How could he lie to me? I just could not shake off the feeling of betrayal and the fact that even after challenging him to the fight, he went easy on me. I kicked a few stones on the ground from frustration as I walked out of the arena. Just the thought of him tapping out after five minutes because he was not willing to fight like a real wolf, swept all the excitement out me. Coward!I felt Elide growl angrily, I laughed inwardly at the aggressiveness of this supposedly weak wolf."I am with you on that, elide." I told her playfully when she threatened to shave Luis' head for lying to me. 'But did you see Dominik's face thou
CLAIRE's POV"Asshole! Dickface! Asshat!" I said thinking of all the possible cuss words he deserved as I walked to my room. "Annoying...boastful.... Errrrr....ugly being.""I sincerely hope you were not saying those with me in mind." I saw Luis who was sitted on the edge of my bed stand as I entered."What the hell are you doing here, Luis?" I asked putting a sarcastic emphasis on his name.Luis sighed and said, "Claire look, I am sorry and I am not trying to give any excuse or trying to redeem myself but, when we first met I knew you would not want to open up to me —""Is that why you approached me, Luis? So I can open up and you could use it against me?" I exclaimed.He groaned. "No no no,Claire, I wanted to help you and be someone you could trust and I could not do that if you knew I was the beta.""Then later?" I asked. "Later, it just felt awkward and I never found the right time to tell you. I am sorry, Claire. I am very sorry for not telling you." Luis begged. I just stood
DOMINIK's POVI growled my anger, trying my best not to smash the little things these people still had around.Who could have done this to them?I had left the pack a day after the game to oversee the growing territories around my pack. The Black Claw pack had grown so big over the years that new pack members did not have space to live in. So, I had decided that they could build new territories and give them different names. But the clans would still be under me with me as their alpha and I would go once every theee months to get taxes from them and see how they were faring and if they needed help with anything at all.I had come to visit my newest clan. I was particularly happy about this clan because it was filled with children and young adults who had been abused in their former packs. Kids who needed the safety of a pack, a safety of belonging somewhere. Those kids, I had heard were really talented and would grow to be powerful soldiers and pack heads.I had been so excited to dr
CLAIRE's POVA week had gone by since Luis informed me about the picnic, and the day had finally arrived. I put on a loose floral gown and beach hat. Then slipped my feet in a pair of flip flops and exited my room. I found Luis waiting at the entrance of the pack house with a basket. The content of the basket were hidden underneath a red shoal. I felt excitement envelope me as I looked forward to a great day in the woods, with my friend. He led me to into the woods not very far from the pack house, until we got to a cliff. The view from below was mesmerizing and I filled my lungs with the fresh air. When I turned around, Luis had already set down a picnic mat on the grass. Several dishes and snacks lined the mat and I wondered how he had packed them all into the basket. The chirping birds were music to my ears and the feel of the wind teasing my skin was rather refreshing. It made me want to discard my clothes, shift into my wolf and go for a wild run. At that thought I felt Elide
CLAIRE's POVI tried not to be too scared as I was dragged away, literally dragged away by Domink who growled at me, saying I had better match up with his pace or he would fucking carry me over his shoulder. I immediately started to run after him. I knew he was going to go through with his threat if I challenged him at that moment. I had seen the look in his eyes. He looked deadly and really dark and… and sexy. I really did not want to challenge him just yet. Not ever but he did not need to know that.“Where the fuck are you taking me?” I asked when we entered the pack house and he still kept on dragging me up the stairs and even past my room. What the fuck did he think he was doing?Instead of answering me though, he just growled and picked me up, swinging me over his fucking shoulders like I weighed nothing.I yelped in embarrassment. I saw that a lot of the wolves in the common room were staring at us in shock, awe, disdain and well, anger. I saw Sorcha snickering with her grou
CLAIRE's POVA loud moan left my lips once Dominik smashed his lips against mine. A loud moan that was in no way annoyed or reprimanding, instead it was an urging moan. For him to go on, not to stop.His kiss was not sweet and soft, instead it was harsh and punishing. He kissed me in a way that said he was punishing me for being friends with Luis. But I was not in any state to push him away, to reprimand him. Instead I moaned my pleasure into his mouth, holding tight to his shirt and kissing him right back with all the lust I was feeling.I probably would have tried to push him off but Elide was not making things easy at all.Her lust was washing over me in crazy waves that I could not help matters. I pulled closer to Dominik, licking, sucking and biting as we went.Domink pulled at my hair with a loud growl when I bit him especially hard, his arousal poked at my stomach harshly and I moaned happily in return at it. I wanted him, I wanted him so badly, my brain was a mess.His hands
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
