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
ARMAND'S POV (VAMPIRE COMMUNITY)I stood there at the top of the ice mountain as I watched my people moving around looking hungry. It was dark and hence the only reason they were out at this time.All these years, we had ourselves been pushed all the way to the end of the world. Simply because we were cold and dead had nothing to do with the fact that we also got ice cold. We could even freeze.We have a whole bunch of humans over at the other side with just those mutts keeping us apart. We needed to make advancements as soon as possible.Uncle Magnus was down as I had to figure out a way to keep him out of the way. He was annoying. His policies were sick.All he did was avoid issues and I could take it no more. I had assumed the role of leadership some fifty years ago and yet, I was nowhere close to breaking their defenses.Now was our chance. I heard the strong headed leader of the werewolves that patrolled the edge of the borders was away. Usually, I had been testing the strength o
ALPHA DERRICK'S POVSeeing her looking at me this way was really something as the question was pasted on her face wholesomely. My ranks needed me at the front line and I had to attend to that but even more importantly was what I had to do for her.She stood there in front of me for a while and then she walked around me as she headed for the door."Where are you going now?" I asked her as I turned and caught her by the arm."Let go." Clara said as she pulled her arm away from me.She was fighting hard to stop the tears from falling out. It was all over her that she was emotional at the moment."You've not heard from me, Clara." I reminded her."I asked you, you refused to answer." She responded and I could feel her pain."I'm sorry." I said to her, bowing my head."So, are you going?" I heard her ask again."You know, we could take her with us." Reid said to me."Take her to war? With all odds at stake?" I asked him."Well, that's all I can think of at the moment. Do you have something
