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
CLARA'S POVWe hesitated. All along we had been searching for this one book and yet, it had been here all along. Could it be the hands of providence that we had run this way when the guard had pointed the torch or something?I stared at it for a while, Professor Derrick behind me was probably too stunned to move as he stood there."To think that I mapped out all the wrong places to search." He muttered.I chuckled."Well then, I guess we should get started now we found it." I said to him,"Yes. That we should." He responded.I picked up the book, feeling its weight in my hand. We could not look through where we were so I started off at the table. It was a worthwhile night then. The thick backed black covering was really something and then from the outer part, one could tell that no one had opened the book in ages.Well, not everyone had a Kent as their mate and would not see the need to break away from them. I could vouch on the stand that I was the first werewolf in a hundred years i
CLARA'S POV"You know I thought you have fled school. Was patiently waiting for the morning so I raised the alarm. Where are you coming from, Clara?" Grace said to me the moment I entered the room.Well, what can I say? Sometimes, she acted like a mother and I actually enjoyed it back then. I smiled nervously at her as I noticed she was seated up on her bed. I had actually tiptoed inside the room in good faith that I would get there before she woke. The professor had assured me that we would certainly get the ingredients. We only needed to work together and do our parts."And here I thought you would be swimming in the Isle of wolves to barely notice I was gone." I said to her,"Yeah, right. Stop trying to switch the subject. Where are you coming from?" She asked me again."You know you would be a pretty annoying mother to your daughters if you're this way." I said to her as I pulled off my sneakers."Yeah, right. At least my daughters would know better than to sneak off in the middle
CLARA'S POVI stood there as the PE teacher explained what had happened to the head disciplinarian at the discipline office. More or less, it was like they had always been waiting for that moment in that office and of course, the bulky man tried to make me the villain here."Of course, she's a menace and a bully." The head disciplinarian said."I believe it was an accident of sorts." The PE teacher noted yet again."A clearly instigated accident." The man said."Huh?" The PE teacher muttered.She had clearly been remanded by her job to report such scenarios and I could understand that in a way, she did not like the fact he was the one doing this."What's to be expected of a rotten seed? You are ungrateful, just like your despicable father. How would you bully your own sister whose family was gracious enough to take you in?" The head disciplinarian asked me."Perhaps if you ask nicely, they would be gracious enough to take you in too." I said to him,"How dare you?!" The man demanded r
ALPHA DERRICK'S POVI had the intention of sending for her in the most discreet ways possible. Her reputation was equally as important to me as was anything. I was in my office, wondering how much longer it would take for those assistants to get me my items. I had given them randomly, lists of things to bring to me and with the promise of a positive evaluation.I sat back, trying to focus on the quiz that I had given the students previously. A couple of scripts went through and I realized that I was already getting bored of all of this. I went over and picked up a magazine on the other side of the shelf, just to kill time but it was not working.KNOCK.It was the first assistant and he had successfully acquired his own bits of the list of ingredients. I commended his efforts as I showed him where to drop off his own items. I was tempted then to have him send for Clara."You're missing her, aren't you?" My wolf suddenly asked me."Does it bother you that I do?" I asked him."Not really
