CLARA'S POVI could not believe my eyes right now. They were gone? The very things the hands of fate gifted us and now we could not find them?"Are you certain you kept them on this particular stone? Maybe it is on another stone or something." I suggested it to her.Grace looked at me with bewilderment."Seriously, Clara? Am I that daft not to remember?" She asked me."Never said you were daft but we can both agree that you keep forgetting to wake up on time and remember we have classes though." I said to her,"That's different. So, what do we do right now?" She asked me."You mean aside from kidnapping Melissa from her sleep and beating more blood out of her?" I asked her."Be serious. You said this was important and I have taken it seriously." She responded."Grace, I am being serious right now. However, if we're not going to become fugitives from kidnapping the Beta's only child, there is something else we can do." I said."Well, what is it?" She demanded."Easy tiger. You make it
CHAPTER 27CLARA'S POVAlas! Old Maurice was not in sight when we got to the gardens and that gave us a frightful scare. "Do you think he's gone?" Grace asked me."I don't know. Maybe you see anyone here?" I asked her.At this point, I was barely keeping it together. My heart rate had gone so high that I felt I might actually faint at any point in time. Where was that old man when you needed him?I was growing worried and impatient. Barely hanging on a thin thread right now but I couldn't even get myself together. I would be damned if we do not find him."Patience, Clara." Clover suddenly said in my head."Clover, nice of you to join us. I thought you had finally exorcize yourself from within me." I said in a rush."With your rendezvous, that would not be so far from consideration." She responded obviously matching my fire."Yeah. Let me know when that happens. Perhaps, I would be sent to where the woofless beings stay." I teased her."Yes. And you remember, there is a reason why the
CLARA'S POVThe moment I saw them, my heart fluttered but Melissa had heard Grace and that was bad news at the time. She stopped in her tracks and when I looked up, she was already approaching my dear friend angrily."What was that again?" She asked, glaring at Grace.Her attention had momentarily been taken off me. However, there was no way in the world that I would stay back and have her bully Grace.At this point, Grace stood there helplessly and was visibly shaking. She looked so meek and then tried to look at me but Melissa was already glaring at her."Do not look at your wimpey friend. I am talking to you. What did you say earlier?" Melissa demanded again."I... I.... I was..." Grace stammered."Was what, Grace? I said that we found Melissa's trash. So why are you scared of admitting I said it?" I asked her with a loud voice."Um..." Grace was confused.However, even more confusing was the confusion on Melissa's voice as clearly she had reckoned who's voice she heard."I heard h
ALPHA DERRICK'S POVI detested the man. Seeing him standing there with that smirk on his face, all I wanted was to wipe it off with a smack across the face right now.A couple of hours ago, I had been trying my best to round off and get the items moved. The assistants had done their best and I was left with going to find the last two ingredients on my own. I could not let them do this as there was a limit to what they could obtain. These last two were in the forbidden areas of the premises and only the lots of us Alpha's could go get them.I had been wondering exactly when to go meet the head of the potions room to get directions on how to acquire these items when I felt it."Our mate, she's in trouble again." Reid suddenly says. My wolf, the only source of my worries, announced to me.Not again. Could she do any less without being in trouble for just one day? I was beginning to worry about her."She's not our mate, Reid." I reminded him, lest he forgets."Yet. She will eventually." H
CLARA'S POVThere we stood enjoying the scene and event turnout. I mean, who could have thought that Beta Benson would ever raise his voice on his daughter. She was like his precious gem whom he does not toy with. Grace seemed elated, I could tell from how hard she was trying to keep a straight face.When Beta Benson looked over his shoulder to give one last weird smile, I made certain he did not find me smiling or figure that I was excited in any way. I just had to stay here and enjoy everything.We were left with Professor Derrick and Melissa's cronies. I was actually beginning to wonder what would become of them when Professor Derrick spoke up."And Beta Benson..." He called out.Beta Benson stopped dead in his tracks and turned."Yes, Alpha Derrick?" He answered."Aren't you forgetting something? What happens to these ones?" Professor Derrick asked him.The Beta flustered with a shy smile we all knew was fake."Oh, I forgot. I figured that my daughter was the miscreant and was goi
CLARA'S POV"The blood though, you got it alright?" He asked me."It's totally safe." I said, trying to make light of the situation."Totally safe you say? Is that what got you getting it from the trash?" He suddenly asked and I was stunned.How did he...? No way, I did not even mention it to him and he knows? Was this man even real by any chance? How could he know that? Perhaps, he was taking a wild guess. Or maybe, he has seen Grace and I removing trash from the trash cans and that explains why he was able to play hero so easily.Clever eh?"You cannot know about that. Were you spying on us?" I asked him lightly."Spying on you? No way would I be spying. Actually you forgot something very important in all of this." He said to me and I raised an eyebrow."I'm an Alpha. It's almost natural that all my senses are heightened." He responded to me and I flustered.Of course but seriously, how?"Is there a peculiar way blood smells because I thought everyone should smell the same as their
ALPHA DERRICK'S POVI felt amusement sweep through me as I listened to their discussion. Apparently, after I turned around to watch her, Clara had started off hastily in sheer display of nervousness. I could tell from her swift leg movements that she was really shy. I decided to wait and listen until I was certain she had met with Grace and was out of harm's way.Thanks to being a werewolf and an alpha, it assisted my hearing and heightened it so greatly that I could hear her discussion with Grace. How I had waited for her to respond when her friend had asked how she felt towards me was like a schoolboy waiting on his ice cream cone. She did not say anything but it was obvious how she felt.I started off to where I had been headed initially."Seems you have your confirmation then." Reid suddenly said.I thought he was probably grumpy or something as he had not made an altercation in a long while.I let off a sigh."And there and back again. I thought you had been exercised." I said t
KENT'S POVI could not believe that I would ever be in this way, getting beaten up by someone else. I mean, I used to be at the top of it all, the apple of everyone's eyes and the most admired and popular male figure in the school and my pack. To think that a certain infidel would come and have me beaten up was just out of it.Unbeaten as I used to be, Professor Derrick had made a bigger fool out of me and I would have to figure a way to live above it.I had been moved to my bedroom from the school medical area to recuperate fully. All I could think about was my humiliation."Clara." I muttered under my breath as I woke up this morning.What in the name of the heavens was she doing with Professor Derrick. She was supposed to be mine alone forever and seeing her in his arms was certainly something I had not been expecting to witness. It hurt, really bad as to an extent where I felt the weight of it on my chest."She's mine. He cannot have her." I said right as the door opened and my fa
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
