BETA BENSON'S POVDamnit, the insolent boy and his provocative approach. He clearly had been onto me for way longer than I could have imagined and I like the fool as always have underestimated him again.I could see the look on his face when he mentioned that song and how accusingly he stared at me. He knew something and was clearly trying to make me speak about it too. Wait a damn minute...Was the past beginning to rise and bite me in the ass? How many more people knew about this song or suspected me being the reason why it was being sung again.He had asked me a question but my mind was hazy that I had not really paid attention. All my focus was on this one song he had brought up after all these years."Alpha Derrick, I am sorry but I didn't quite grasp what you asked." I said to him,He smirked.I never should have engaged him in an argument about Clara. Even while I had been arguing, I knew I should have shut my mouth but I was clearly too occupied with enjoying his restlessness
ALPHA DERRICK'S POVI caught her scent even before I entered. That unique scent that always had my wolf and I going crazy...."Why are you putting me first on the crazy list?" Reid asked me suddenly."Come now, can you deny you do not feel a tinge of craziness whenever you're close to Clara?" I had to ask him for you guys sake.He drew a long wishful breath and then sighed."It's so unique. She reminds me of my dear Clover, bless her soul." He said to me,Wow, they sure as hell must be in love but thinking about it now, it was not really time for losing control as there were a lot of things going wrong. "We would have to control ourselves." I said to him,"And why are you telling me that directly?" Reid asked me."Because you're the problem now. When you see her, you would lose your control and start to drool like you haven't seen a woman in your entire life." I said to him,"Point of correction, I don't drool over a woman, I'm attracted to the wolf mate. It's not my fault and whenev
CLARA'S POVI could see the man was angered but wait, what would he do about Melissa who had kissed me?I mean, I feel violated up until now. But I could not let him lose control of himself. Going after Kent would only be going off the trail. Right now, we needed to figure out what went wrong. I reached for his arm and I could feel how hot he was. He was a few moments from actually wolfing out on me and I dared not to try my luck any further."Calm down, Derrick." I said to him as I searched his eyes for the Derrick that listens."Calm down? He tried to harm you!" He stated a matter of fact."But here I am beside you and still okay." I explained."That solves nothing." He said to me,"I agree. It solves nothing and neither would going after him do the same." I explained to him."At least that would keep him from trying to lay hands on you again. I should make him see the reasons why I kept you off guard to everyone." He said."Derrick, as much as I admire you wanting to go all out f
CLARA'S POVI could feel the sudden rush within us as it kept urging us to go further. The kiss intensified and so did his caresses. Derrick suddenly raised me so I was straddling his waist. I could feel his ragged breath leaving traces each time he aimed for my neck to shower with kisses. I momentarily forgot about the task at hand as I assisted him by lifting my neck for him to delve deeper.Derrick's eyes said everything about how much he appreciated my effort as he rewarded me with a kiss on the lips squarely.He started approaching the bed even closer and he gently laid me on the bed. Coming off neck was his polo which he threw aside and I could see that bare chest that always had me drooling for more. Derrick was doing things to me that I could not even begin to imagine. He was making me desire him some more.Only now did it strike me that I had been kissing Melissa today or rather, she was kissing me.The thought of her puckered lips on mine earlier filled me with so much disg
CLARA'S POVWe bid Randall bye but not without a stern warning from Derrick."Do anything wild and I'll take you canines." Derrick said smiling."With the number of times I've heard that threat, I assure you, I'm no longer scared of it." Randall said."It would be meaningful this time around." Derrick said and winked."Clara, it was great seeing you today. I hope to see you tomorrow." He said as he took my hand on his own."I hope so too." I responded with a smile."Enchanté mademoiselle." He said and tried to kiss my hand.Instantly, Derrick rushed over and pulled him away."Not with those lips infested up with multiple ladies' vulvas." Derrick said to him."I have been practicing my chastity." Randall responded with a smirk."Yeah and yet you haven't performed cleansing on the numerous others that stained you, dearest monk." Derrick said to him.I have never seen this side of Derrick and right now, I felt honored by the fact that I was able to witness it. Derrick seemed to be gettin
ALPHA DERRICK'S POVSeriously, the way being around her made me feel had been clearly heightened with the presence of Randall.The presence of another male figure made me dote on her so much that I wanted so much more from her. She looked so beautiful and exceptional that I wondered now what it would be like should Randall or some other get close.Not like I worried about Randall. He was family and would never hurt me.Nevertheless, seeing how happy she was with a member of my family sort of made me recall what it felt like to have a family. It used to be such a nice feeling to have one and so sad that they were all gone now. I felt really upset with the dawning realization that I was alone now.However, I saw a future so bright with Clara. Perhaps we could have a number of little ones running around. I still find myself imagining what sort of father I would be. Would she even be comfortable with a man like me? I am such a complicated person most of the time but I always had a soft s
CLARA'S POV I looked at Derrick now as they both looked right at the shelves behind us. I could tell that every bit of hope that we would get through this easily had just been blown to pieces. I felt really concerned at the moment. Time was running out on us and it would only be a matter of time before day time and I needed to be at the dormitory. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Derrick asked me, his eyes still scanning the horizon. "I actually am doing more than thinking. I'm seeing what you're seeing. Where do we start from? I mean, there are a whole lot of books in here and nothing to actually identify it." I said to him, "Perhaps we should check the records on how things are being organized here." He said to me as he looked towards the stand where a big book was opened. Seriously, it looked like it had not been touched in a really long time. "Does anything here actually look organized? All I see are books being thrown around." I said to him, "Let's see and be certain
ALPHA DERRICK'S POVI could tell she was worried. I too was worried but I had to keep my focus lest I make mistakes on these things. The books had this arrangement and I could actually tell from what I was seeing there was a pattern.They were trying to throw people off balance but I saw that arrangement was similar to what used to be in my father's book shelf.Now this did not make it any easier but it should help in a way. I called Clara and she stood beside me."This arrangement would not totally solve the issue but I am certain it would go a long way and aid us with our drafting." I said to her,"How?" She asked me."Noticed that red thread?" I asked her."Yes." She muttered."It shows rows that have a hidden book." I said to her,"So we look for every row with the red thread and check through all the books?" She asked me."Precisely." I responded."And I think we should start immediately. I'll grab that ladder." She said to me,"But we must try our best not to scatter the arrange
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
