ALPHA DERRICK'S POVI had found my way to the pond where I found Clara hiding. It was more or less like I had been enchanted by a siren as she peered at me, our eyes met sending me nearly overboard with desire. I wanted her but I had to restrain myself.It was hard not to look at her when she had stated that she was naked. My wolf was unsettled as he seemed to act out the moment I turned away. Had she not suggested that I use the stick, I was very much ready to forget all about dignity, get into the water and carry her right in my arms."What are you doing?" He asked me as I looked away."Being a gentleman." Was the response I gave him in my head."Gentleman? We should take a sneak peak." He said to me,"No. We are looking away and that's final." I said to him barely holding back from the strong urge sweeping all over me.I desired her right now and badly too. Her nearness and the scent of her body was overwhelming as I felt the tingling sensation spread all the way down to my waist a
CLARA'S POV I dashed inside the room, panting really hard like there had been someone up my heels. Grace, who had been seated by her bedside, suddenly rises up like she had seen a ghost or something. There must have been something on the floor as with the tension she rose, Grace slipped and fell. Landing hard on her buttocks. "What happened?" She asks me. I look at her and then start laughing at the way she looked trying to disguise the pain, smartening her buttock as she rubbed the spot. "Why are you laughing? Is Melissa...? Don't tell me..." She could not even finish, clearly not having my insistent laugh. I stopped laughing now. "There's an army of zombies out there. If you value your life, remain here." I said as I quickly headed to the bathroom. What would you have me do? Tell her that I had been up and romantic with my professor earlier? In a jiffy, I threw the coat off and was naked. I got into the shower, turning it on and just as the water hit against my skin, I ran
CLARA'S POV Alpha Jack looked intimidating and everyone had suddenly become silent. Not even a pin drop was heard as he walked towards me menacingly. His domineering status quo infiltrated the room with the energy that exhumes from being an Alpha but I could not allow myself to be intimated into submission because he was the Alpha. Instead, I held his gaze and that seemed to provoke him further as his brows furrowed in a deeper frown. "You're dead now." Melissa whispers and goes quiet as he comes in front of me. "You're coming with me, girl." Alpha Jack said to me. No way would I go anywhere with him that I did not know of and why. "Where are you taking me?" I demanded. "Are you trying to practice insubordination on our Alpha now?" Melissa asks with a sneer like she cared one bit about what the outcome of my reaction would be. She said it clearly so he would get more angry as he suddenly seemed to realize what I had just done. "I beg you pardon?" Alpha Jack demanded, his red
CLARA'S POV Alpha Jack's question did not seem to interest the professor, as his eyes fell right on Beta Benson who had me pinned to the ground and his hand raised above my head. His eyes suddenly became closed with rage as the red glow came. Swiftly, he approached the Beta and grabbed him by the neck as he raised him high, only to slam him really hard on the floor. The latter spat out blood from the impact. "How dare you act in such a malicious way to your own foster daughter?" He demands. I quickly stand to my feet, noticing the atmosphere changing with the induction of a new authority. "Who are you?" Beta Benson mutters trying to find his voice. "Unhand the principal this minute." Professor Derrick demands and like a schoolboy caught by his teacher, Alpha Jack actually steps away from the principal who now breathes out in relief. "Are you okay, Clara?" Professor Derrick asks me. It would seem as though if I had said that I was not, he would probably rip the Beta in pieces. "
CLARA'S POV The fact that Professor Derrick had asked that I stayed back while the others left gave me the creeps. My mind wondered what exactly he might want to say to me at this point. Surely, he might be seeking a thank you for omitting what had happened between us by the pond. However, the principal was right here with us. Professor Derrick turned to the principal now. "I believe it would be alright to talk to Clara in my office?" He asked him. In his office? A lonely space with no one to deter us? That would be crazy.... Awesome!!! Wait, what? Did I just think of that as awesome? Something must be wrong with me. Perhaps, Clover was messing with my head. "Hey!!! Don't blame me. You are wrong with yourself, girl!!!" She screams in my head. "Oh, you're awake." I said to her, "Been awake since you started dripping between your legs." She said to me and I flustered all over. I would have said something to her but then, the principal was speaking. He looked so timid and respec
ALPHA DERRICK'S POV Mornings as always were time to get back to class. I had to let Clara go after we had made the scene earlier when we went to set Kent off in the medical area. I had to return to prepare for class after the morning encounter with Clara. For a moment, I watched her break into a half-run like she was trying to get away from me. I actually wanted to go after her but I had to think about her dignity. It was bad enough that they had all seen us together and she, being half naked. It would clearly make things worse if I entered with her. Then, after the lunch break, I was ready for my first class. "Settle down, people, we will start our lesson now." I said to the students. Just as I opened my laptop, the door to the classroom opened and a girl stood there at the entrance. I recognized Clara's roommate, Grace and wondered what she wanted. She looked weirdly disgruntled like she had been through a rough fit of the sorts. Her hair hung like a rat nest as the sweat fr
CLARA'S POV I was beginning to feel the pensiveness within me grow. While I sat down there across from professor Derrick, I never would have fathomed this conversation. He had said 'together' to me and it felt weirdly eccentric. It was the very first time in my life since I lost my father that anyone would actually consider me in their decisions. Not to say the least, carry me along. Usually, it has always been me having to put up with whatever decision they reach. It had always been like this from the moment when against my wish, I had been made to live with Beta Benson. I wanted to stop crying but the tears just kept pouring out like they were actually on a freeway. I cried even more and professor Derrick was left with no choice but to come around from where he said and embraced me where I sat. I clung to his legs and he held me close. It was the first time I had felt such warmth. Only now did I realize what it was to have a strong support system. "Come now, Clara. Come." He
CLARA'S POV It was time and we both went out for our dinner. Amidst all the states, the both of us sat down regardless of our dinner. Gladly, it passed without drama and the moment we had finished, Grace and I thought we might take a stroll in the playground. This was a routine of ours so we could relieve ourselves and wait out the long hours before lights out. We had already started out around the playground when suddenly, I started to feel a weird feeling. It was the feeling I had gotten when I had been in class the other day. Almost like professor Derrick was near. I could even scent him around me but when I looked around, there was nobody. "Is everything alright, Clara?" Grace asked me. "Um, yes. I mean, I'm just looking around for fireflies." I lied to her. "Fireflies you say? " She asked me. "Yes." I muttered but kept feeling weird. We had started again when suddenly, it came with a larger force. I stopped moving. "Clara." Oh my goodness!!! He was in my head. I could
CHAPTER 135 CLARA'S POV "What's happening? I'm seeing you..." I heard my own words voiced out in amazement. The moon goddess simply stood there and would not make a move. It was then I looked up at her and noticed that she looked sad still in the eyes. Oh well, so much for wishful thinking. "You still do not get the point, Clara." She said to me, "What point? That I should not even be allowed to see my father? That's a huge point you made." I looked at her spitefully. "No, child and trust me, you're beginning to test me." She responded. "Of course. You're the moon goddess and as a pawn in your games, I shall only shut up and take it all like a champ. No complaints, eh?" I said to her, jutting out my jaw stubbornly. "You're really something, Clara Silver. You try to get on my nerves but I find you amusing." She responded. "Of course. Every blind wolf out there is amusing. No complaints." I responded. I saw her bite down hard as she could before approaching me. Perhaps, my ton
CLARA'S POVIt was quite...Oddly so.I had been hoping that Arlene would at the very least try and check on us but I never saw him. There was no sign of him and neither was there any of Derrick.Fear gripped me as I found myself wondering if everything was okay with him (Derrick).I needed someone to talk to.I needed to share my fears right now but Derrick was nowhere to be found."Clara, you need to rest." I heard Clover say to me."Oh, Clover! I feel so alone and lost." I said with a sigh.That was the honest truth. I felt bitter and really worked up right now but was there anything I could do?I doubt so."You'll be fine." She responded."I don't even know where Derrick is. I'm so worried. Are you not worried? What if the vamps took him?" I asked her.She let out a long drawn exhale."I am worried too, Clara. But even more than Derrick, I am worried about you. You're hurting and you have a lot on your shoulder." She said to me,"You shouldn't worry one bit about me. I'll be fine
CLARA'S POVI felt really excited as I caught onto the scent of the man that had been once announced dead. My dear father and I knew now that I had never been able to forget his scent.It was just as I remembered, so different yet so great."Dad." I called him as I traced to a standing position, where his head was."Who are you? Why do you call me father? I'm yet to find myself a woman." He said to me suddenly and I felt shattered."Father, you don't remember me?" I asked him as tears formed in my eyes.How could he do this to me? It might have been a long time but I who had lost him at eight had not forgotten him. Yet, he had such effrontery to forget me in such a short while."Come now girl, I don't know who you are. I believe I had a crush at my pack but we were just kids before I lost my way." He said to me, breaking my heart further."I'm your daughter. I'm your baby." I said to him,"How old are you then because you look so old." He said to me,"I'm only eighteen." I said to him
ALPHA DERRICK'S POV"What about him?" Randall asked as he nudged his jaw towards Kent who was still knocked out and tied up.I looked at him inquisitively before responding."The vampire said to follow him. We would follow him. You bring the boy."I said to him."Why do I get to do the hard stuff? You knocked him out, don't you think it is part of your responsibility now to..." He was still speaking when I cast him. "Fine. You don't need to look at me like I'll be next. I'll bring him." He sighed heavily as he went to Kent. Trust Randall to always make a show of how angry he gets. He made certain to land a kick to Kent's butt before struggling to pick him up while grumbling."Alpha Derrick, walk with me." Arlene said to me.Well, I guess he was back to his twelve year old vampire mode. To think a few minutes ago, this adorable looking young boy had been so intense with his glare that I nearly forgot how to breathe. I would recommend that anyone picking a fight with him should have mad
BETA BENSON'S POVI have been waiting at the pack house for this good news.Alright, bad guy here and I totally agree but you would have done the same to have some aspects of relevance attached to your name.This has always been my game plan.It is too bad I have not had the chance to introduce myself properly but I am the one who's supposed to be leading this pack.I had a strung out rivalry with Todd Silver and it was not a thing today. It was an old strife, maybe one he was not sure had such strong genesis.Could we say I always hated him and his guts from the moment my childhood dream girl had developed a friendship with him when Todd was newly transferred to our school.Everyone was all over him. He slowly took over everything and seemed like he was the saint of our time. It did not make any sense and when I tried to talk him into joining us, he had turned me down.He wanted nothing to do with my silly games and made me feel the first insult of my life. I overlooked him and decid
ALPHA DERRICK'S POV"Clara!" I called out to her as she fell off my arms.Clara sure did know how to get everyone on the edge. Right here in the vampire territory which we had encountered and she was clearly unfazed. She had suddenly left my arms to the ground and was sniffing her way further deep.I have never seen anything like that in my life. The way she moved faster and sniffed around, it was something from the human sniffing dogs.I wanted to go after her but a couple of vampires deterred me as they hissed right into our faces."Clara!" Grace even called out to her but I doubt she could hear either of us.I glared at Arlene, especially when a vampire seemed to want to threaten Clara."Arlene, are you going to let them hurt her? Us? We're not harming anyone!" I said to him as my eyes kept following her."Friends, let us all be calm. These ones mean no harm to us. At least, that much I can assure you." Arlene said to the snarling vampires."We cannot trust them in the heart of our
CLARA'S POVI had been through hell and back.It was all the fault of the damned moon goddess. Why on earth would she curse me with blindness? Could she see now the havoc she was causing?For crying out loud, I nearly drowned!"But you didn't." Clover said to me."Shut it, Clover." I said to her,"Clara, anything could be taken lightly but blasphemy against the mood goddess is evil. She sees and knows everything." She said to me,"Oh and I hope she's seeing this now." I responded to Clover.This was my thoughts right before I had been plunged into water and was drowning.I had awakened sometime when Derrick was speaking to Beta Benson's men and it was not even up to a minute when I found myself drowning.I had been so weak that I could not move at all. Eventually, I lost it all. It would be best to just drown and die than be humiliated further.The water started to get into my nostrils and I found that I was beginning to struggle to breathe too. I thought to myself, what did it matter
ALPHA DERRICK'S POVI had heard stories of Arlene and his community of non-human blood drinking vampires. We believed it to be a myth as it was clear to everyone of us that a vampire cannot claim not to drink human blood.They were supposedly evil and dark creatures from our opposite kind. The dark brother to our moon goddess had been believed to sire them.Dracula and Selene used to be siblings. Whilst Selene saw only the beauty and pureness, Dracula was believed to have experimented on the lives of humans, leading the great god to cast him down on earth and curse him.He became the sire of vampires.This was the story we had grown up to.However, the wild spread fanatic was how some of these doomed ones failed to live up to expectations and would rather feed on animals than hurt a human.This seemed strange at the time. Tell me about Arlene a few minutes ago and I would have laughed at what myth one was playing at.From the vastness of this empty landscape, I could swear there are n
ARLENE'S POVIt has been five good centuries and eleven moons since I turned.My name is Arlene and some would call me the vampire old kid.I had been human until that day when I had allowed my disobedience to get the better of me.A group of strangers had come to our little yet peaceful village. These people were pale looking and I actually believed they were ill.They had arrived while we were celebrating our annual festival. Five of them. Two women and three men. They had been so friendly and soon, we learnt to accept them.All but one wise woman I hope sometimes when I lose people I love - my mother.She found them really weird and she called me every other time."Arlene, stay away from those strangers. Something is off about them." She said to me,But being the kind of child I had been, I found it weird that my mother would not want to mingle with them. I mean, they started assisting the villages with different things.I grew fond of the older woman among them. She seemed to be i
