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
