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
CLARA'S POVWe finished and I had to keep the blood secured in the vail she had put it in. Our not so red blood was already packaged and ready to be delivered to Professor Derrick.We waited a little while before going to lay on our beds as I wondered what he meant when he said he would send for me. I thought about all our activities since Grace and I left him to see if by chance, there had been anything out of the ordinary to signify him trying to reach out to me. Nothing seemed out of place and I decided that maybe I was actually overthinking it."You're thinking about him, aren't you?" Grace suddenly asked me."How do you know that? What if I'm thinking about what would become of us when Melissa and Beta Benson find her blood here?" I teased."You mean what would become of you?" Grace asked me."I thought we were best friends." I said to her,"Aye, that we are but not unto death." She said to me,"That sucks. Best friends should stick with each other." I argued it out."Yes, stick
CLARA'S POV"I need to stop..." I whispered in my head."Don't! Just keep it up. We're doing great." Clover responded."But it is a bit too early for this." I said to her in response."Never too early. This is our awakening. I beg of you, Clara. Do not ruin this." She responded to me.I was going far right now. I had finally crossed the bridge of no return and it was not easy. Our kisses had led us to a stand point where the first two buttons of my shirt had come undone. I had no idea how far this would lead us but there was one thing for certain, we would have sex!Wait, what? Was I even ready for this? Would I be able to bear the consequences? What if this is all a fling to him and he eventually rejects me? What would become of me? What if I get pregnant?Oh no! A pregnancy would be disastrous. Beta Benson and the rest, especially Melissa, would never allow me to see the end of it. I had to stop. I could not taint my father's name further than it already has been.But stopping was n
ALPHA DERRICK'S POV It was that pesky boy again!"Let's just kill him!" Reid called out in my head so loud that I was wondering if he was actually going to become heard by all."Keep it down." I said to him,"And then what? Has that punk stolen our Luna?" He asked me.CRASH!!!!He had finally kicked the door really hard so that it came open. Alright, now he had done it and overstepped his boundaries."How dare you?" I demanded angrily."Where is she?" He asked as his eyes searched around wildly."Who are you looking for?" I asked him, intercepting him.For a moment, he stood there and glared right into my face. His eyes, in their wolf form and I could see his claws were out too. "You know fucking well who I am looking for, Professor Derrick. And you just know that I would not leave here without Clara!" He said to me,"Go away, boy. Clara is not here." I said to him,"Out of my way. I would see for myself." He said to me,"Listen, first you crashed my door and entered without invitat
CLARA'S POVWas Professor Derrick serious?How could he agree to this and why on earth would he want the principal to see me. He could have slightly said that I was not here and now, he was exposing me. What more would happen?I had been in the bedroom but thanks to Clover, I was eavesdropping on everything that was happening. Apparently, Kent was at it again and I would have to figure a way for us to quickly get this mate bond breaking over and done with. I mean, it is long overdue."I think he's coming this way." Clover said to me.I had been paying attention to the door locking that I had forgotten to listen for his footsteps. I instantly froze and flushed all over. I could hear my heart beating so fast in my ears that I wondered how I would handle it.I had heard all he said in my defense and his response to having feelings for me. He thought of me as his Luna already. What I had done to deserve this attraction was something I pondered over.The door suddenly opened and I stood th
CLARA'S POVWe had said it suddenly and together that I was totally floored. I could see the way the principal looked at the both of us knowingly and then exclaimed."Remind me how far you both have actually gone exactly." He said."Nothing. We just worked together with the ingredients for the mate bond breaking. Nothing else. Right, Professor Derrick?" I asked and realized that I had spoken so suddenly.I had actually been pretty worried that perhaps since he said we should answer honestly, Professor Derrick might as well as tell him we have kissed not once and more sordid details. I could not allow that to happen.Unfortunately, in due course to defend myself, I had already made things pretty worse as he looked at me with an eyebrow raised and then back at Professor Derrick who cleared his throat."Actually, I think what Clara is trying to say is that we have been gathering the ingredients all along." He said calmly."I see. That's what she said but I do find myself wondering, is th
KENT'S POVMy anger was at the most endurable right now and I could not believe I had to step down on everything. I obviously was not satisfied with what had been the turnout of events and right now, two annoying security personnels were walking right behind me to my sides.Suddenly, I stopped. I could not allow my father to see me this way. He would certainly get provoked and feel that I am a disappointment.I noticed as the other guy made a move to tap me."Don't you dare touch me or I would make certain you both lose your heads." I warned them."Sir, the principal said..." One of them started off."The principal is beneath my father. I would suggest that if you love your jobs so much, you had better keep your hands to yourself." I said, a warning glint and a low growl accompanying my warning.I noticed him pause. He was confused as he looked at the fella beside him. Now I turned around and faced them squarely."So, what do we do about this?" I asked them."Sir..." One started off.
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
