PRINCIPAL HAWKINS POVI have been more or less the missing link. What would one expect of me in the position I found myself especially after my warnings.I had been friends with Todd Silver for years even though our friendship would be thought to be uncanny. He was the big bad wolf and I was merely the runt of the lot.Our friendship would trace all the way back to highschool days when Todd had played defense to the newest nerd that was a transfer student.Yes. That would be me, no doubts about it.I recall pretty much how it had felt coming into the institution after my father had passed along with my mother. I had to transfer back under the supervision of my grandmother, bless her resting soul.The first day I attended school was hell. That was when I got into the bad books of the now Beta, Benson."Hey, newbie!" He had hailed me.I recall my error. I actually thought he cared really about me. I went to answer and had outstretched my hand for a handshake."I'm Hawkins. I'm new." I h
CLARA'S POVI woke up and all I could feel was a feeling of happiness and satisfaction. His scent, hovering around me but the bed was empty to the side of the bed I was faced with. I tapped around but he was not there either. Where was he? I used to think if someone actually loves a woman, he should be there by her side when she wakes. Where was Derrick? Have I just gotten myself entangled with another Kent?"You're awake." His voice called from the entrance and I turned to realize that the door was opened and he stood there with a glass.I had not heard the door open."How long have you been standing there?" I asked him."Well, I was going to wake you up so you take this but got carried away watching you sleep. Been here a while." He said to me, gleaming.He was shirtless, revealing his well muscular body, his skin so beautiful and soft looking. Derrick's features had softened. It would seem as if he was actually smiling more now."Um... what is that?" I asked him."Just something t
CLARA'S POVSince the ingredients were already in preparation and we were going to act naturally, I had to return to my dorm. I felt strangely new and wondered if I was glowing."Finally, he lets you back." Grace said to me the instant I entered our bedroom.She asked was standing as she used to every morning when she's trying to ascertain if she had forgotten anything.I had missed her as I approached her and hugged her tightly."I'm so glad I got to see you." I said to her,"Oh, yes. Me too but what happened yesterday?" She asked me immediately.My heart flew straight to Professor Derrick and what he had said about me having to deal with a zillion questions from Grace. Well, here we are I guess."We should get to class." I said to her,"Not until you have told me what happened yesterday." She said to me,"Would it be necessary? What has happened, happened already." I said to her Of course I was going to tell her. I was just trying to get her to plead for it."Sp you really want me
CLARA'S POVThe instant I saw the note, anger filled my lungs. I could see they were all excited over what was happening and that would only mean they had this all planned out.Was Kent in on this?I stood up as I started for the combat hall when I noticed that everyone else stood up and followed me closely. Although they kept their distance, I could feel their eyes piercing behind me and their giggles and whispers.They made it seem like I was taking the legendary werewolf walk of shame with the only conflicting thing being that I had my clothes on.I increased my pace as my fists balled and I went straight to the combat hall. I had just pushed the door open when a bag of milk or whatever it was they had set right above the door fell on my head. This was totally unexpected and I was suddenly drenched."And the whore showcases." Melissa's voice called out.I was angry as I stared ahead of me and noticed my locker and chair in the middle and they were at the top tier where they were se
ALPHA DERRICK'S POVI had discharged Clara that morning and took time to ensure that everything was ready. We were going to have a full moon tonight and it could mean a lot of things, we werewolves might have greater tendencies to be agitated.There was another thing about the full moon and it was the fact that a fresh batch of new werewolves would be reborn as they would be meeting with their various wolf buddies.Alpha Clark had been of course so cunning that he had me slated to preside over the ceremony of the werewolves. Too sad though as I needed to make certain to be on time for Clara.She had after all mentioned how no one celebrated anything for her. My mind was on fire at the mere thought of her as I needed time with her too. However, there was literally nothing I could do without arousing suspicions.I had finished with the entire process as we were left with the final steps to preparing the ingredients. The light from the moon sharing a kiss with the moonstone and then, I w
CLARA'S POVNow I was caught in the middle of their rift again. Seriously, what was all this stuff getting at?I was right behind Professor Derrick who had morphed into his wolf form. "Wow, look at him glow!" Clover screamed excitedly in my head.She was right though. Derrick would pass as the most magnificent Alpha wolf I have set my eyes on. He stood tall there in his black yet shiny coat. There was an aura about him that I could not even explain. Either way, I found that I was impressed and felt protected.Beta Benson was way below him and his tail was suddenly dragging down as his ears cowered. Derrick now stomped his feet twice as if trying to warn him. Was he bracing for a fight or something?Swears down, I wanted to see him rip Beta Benson to pieces. I mean, it was long overdue."Gentlemen, we really do not need to do this, please." Alpha Clark was the one speaking at this point.Seriously, was he now tired of a fight when it was his son creating chaos everywhere.I stole a si
CLARA'S POVNot again with all of this. Each time we communicated with them, they always had a way of trying to get me anxious like I was right now.I did not want to turn and look at Professor Derrick as it would be too obvious. I only had to sit there and avoid the urge to look over my shoulder at him knowing what would happen if I did."But you see, Alpha Derrick, it is not necessary that you answer that question." Alpha Clark added quickly."No. You asked a question and I would provide an answer. That is the kind of man I am." Professor Derrick responded.Seriously? Was this the right time to defend his honor? All he needed to do was ignore and treat their question as dumb."That's great because it would interest me to have you remember that Clara here is the daughter of a traitor. She's not really one to be trusted." Alpha Clark added."And I take it that you are one to be trusted then? You, your Beta and offsprings?" Professor Derrick demanded."Come on now, Alpha Derrick. We re
CLARA'S POV"Done." The Alpha's voice surprised me and I was absolutely lost.We had all been awaiting his response as Beta Benson was no longer speaking. I shifted my gaze to Beta Benson and I could see he looked defeated.That sure as hell did serve him right for his menacing attitude he always had on. I found that I now derived satisfaction."Thanks, Alpha Clark. Now, Melissa I would say this in front of everyone for clarity sake. Are you listening?" Professor Derrick asked her."Yes, Alpha Derrick." Melissa said."It's Professor Derrick to you. I am no Alpha to miscreants." Professor Derrick said to her."My apologies, Professor Derrick." She corrected herself."Good. Now, you have put yourself way too much into Clara's business that I now fear for her life." He started saying."Her life? I would never harm her!" Melissa said to her."Then why were you all ganged up on her at the combat hall?" He asked her."It was Kent who..." Melissa began."Speaking of Kent, don't you think the
