DOMINIK's POVI maintained my stoic and expressionless face till Claire left the pack house.To anyone watching me, they would have had no idea how much I wanted to run after her, make her stay, make her mine. But,I had always been good at hiding my emotions anyways, so even if my heart was shredding to pieces, even if my wolf wanted to literally crawl out of my chest, I held my ground and let the slinky bitch beside me wrap her arms around my neck like she owned me.If I could, I would snap her head in one swift move and remind my pack members why I was the most feared alpha in the whole fucking continent.Once Claire left though, I growled loud in my throat and shoved Sorcha away from me. "Do not fucking touch me ever again." I snarled in her face and she whimpered, taking a frantic step away from me.Good, she deserved it and more for the hurt she had caused my mate, how dare she?My wolf snarled at me to fucking end her right in that spot, make sure no one else tried to toy with m
CLAIRE's POVI sat glumly in my room, yes, my room, not Dominik’s. I had been transferred to a new private room a week ago, since the figure head luna, Ms. Sorcha arrived.This time, I was not the one being pushed away yet again. I made the decision to stay alone after that day when Sorcha was introduced to me. After I had gone into my room, heart broken and a wolf in pain, Luis had come into the room to comfort me as much as he could. But I could not be comforted. I was past that. My heart was shattered in a million pieces and I did not even get to have a say in how or why it would be like that.I was broken, almost literally.Elide had been really quiet and drained inside me, I did not feel her anxious badgering for a run. I did not feel her occasional horrible thoughts towards people. She did not even call out for her mate. I knew she was also hurt and dejected but I also knew she needed to be close to her mate but she was just staying strong for me. I knew she was getting weaker
CLAIRE's POVI hate my life.That was the only thing in my head as I laid on the ground dressed in fighting gears, soaked through like a pig and aching all over.My breath came out of my lips in tiny and quick bursts that did nothing to alleviate the weakness I felt.I had decided to join Luis and the enforcers this morning for their training drift. And it did not take me more than five minute in the bitter cold morning to know that I had made a bad decision.At first, it had been awkward because they had all been staring at me and being all weird. But after Luis had dragged me to the middle and turned me into the packs favorite punching bag again - demanding that I defend myself - they had finally started to lighten up a bit on me. However, I really was not in the mood for playful banters when they were busy punching my guts out.After my mood had upped a bit, Luis pulled me away from the gang, commanding them to train alone or in pairs. He had taken me to another part of the trainin
CLAIRE's POVI frowned at the tone of his voice. What the fuck was he going on and on about? Trying to rant?What? Did he except me to never leave my bedroom and wallow alone till I die while he was going everywhere, hanging his Luna like a designer’s hand bag and fucking her to stupor at night?At the sound of fucking someone else, Elide reared her head up in anger, effectively pushing me towards that line as well, yanking hard at my cords and I glared up at him, eyes blazing hard.“Yes, I was messing around with Luis or is that forbidden as well? While I am stuck here, am I forbidden to be happy?” I seethed, making sure to show how angry I was and somewhere in my mind, I saw Luis take a soft and conscious step backwards like he could not afford to be caught in the crazy storm that was me and my mate.“What did you just say?” Dominik took a threatening step forward, eyes darkening and even though I felt a jolt of fear at that, Elide would not allow me to back down.Instead of cowerin
CLAIRE's POVA week had passed since my confrontation with Dominik in the forest. Apart from the fact that my mate had been avoiding me since, training with the pack members was not so bad, even though they still detested me, and I was getting better with every session. I had dressed up that morning for the day’s training and followed after the blonde haired hunk of a man that I felt like punching into the ground. I did not punch him into the ground though. I just gritted my teeth, rolled my hands into a tight fist and stomped my feet after him like a petulant, angry child. I also tried my best to ignore Elide who was prancing about in my head, she wanted her an out, she wanted the opportunity to chew his blonde head off his neck.I had to keep reminding the blood thirsty wolf, that was also supposed to be an omega, to calm down.He is a friend, Elide, you can not chew his blonde head off.Why the fuck not? Elide reared her head back to watch me with her wolf eyes and it felt so we
CLAIRE's POVLuis took a hasty and concerned step backwards as I stared at Dominik, heart in my stomach.What did he think he was doing here? He had been ignoring me all fucking day, what was I saying? He had been acting like I never existed at all for almost a week now, so why was he here now?Since our angry clash in that forest, Dominik had taken a trip away from the pack. No words to me, no nothing.I had been really hurt about that but I used the excuse of rigorous pack trainings to put my mind off the troubles I was feeling. I used it to shift the heartache away from me. I had needed it just as much as Elide had needed the distraction. We took it hard, working ourselves into oblivion both in the human form and wolf form. We both worked hard during the day sweating both water and blood form the rigorous trainings. And at night, we both nursed our wounds alone, both heart and body. We had really missed our mate but it did not seem like Domink cared one bit so we had thrown all o
CLAIRE's POVThe excitement I felt in that moment was exhilarating. I had quickly gone to my room, to prepare my outfit for that D day.I settled for a pair of cargo pants and a sports bra with leather gloves. Just as I folded them to put them away, the door banged open. I whipped my head in the direction of the sound to see Dominik. He was the last person I expected to visit me in my room. I pulled up the neckline of my silk rose patterned nightwear and hugged myself. "Dominik?" I breathed out in surprise, and wariness."You need something?" I asked, folding my arms under my breast, pushing up the cleavage. Suddenly, he was not a few feet away anymore. He was right in front of me, taking me in and watching me shiver at our closeness.I looked up at him, confusion evident on my face and then I saw it. The anger in his. He was mad at me? His hand found the bare skin of my waist, burning a path on the expanse of skin where he touched. My breath hitched when he squeezed on the suppl
CLAIRE's POVI could not believe he actually allowed me participate in the game. The excitement I got made me practice even harder today.'It is not like we needed his permission anyways.' Elide tilted her head up. Pretty stubborn thing."We did not but, now Luis is off my back about the whole -I do not want you to get hurt - issue. It is a win-win." I muttered.I felt Elide scoffed in answer to that. Could wolves scoff?I was on my way to the park house and I could not just shake off the happiness that I finally got to participate in the contest and the immense pleasure Dominik gave me the night before made the feeling all the more blissful. I got to the pack house and entered the common room. Almost immediately, I saw Sorscha sitting at the end of the room with some of the females in the packs.Seeing Sorscha's face and the thought of her being close to Dominik riled me up. "Just ignore her Elide," I muttered when I realized she wanted an out to snap Sorscha'a neck. "I do not w
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
