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
CLARA'S POVIt was as true as we could imagine. Principal Hawkins has been away for the time being.I looked at Professor Derrick as we really had to get this sorted out as soon as possible."Come with me." He said to me as he led the way out of his office.We made our way out quickly and locked his door securely before leaving. There was no telling what would happen next."We'll see the dean, they should have information on the principal." Professor Derrick said to me."Okay. But do I necessarily have to come there with you?" I asked him."No. You'll wait around when I go inside to ask and then we'll proceed together if necessary." He said to me,That seemed totally fine to me.I made certain to keep a few steps behind him as I moved carefully. I did not want people questioning us and our relationship. I mean, a lot was being said about us already and a lot being foretold.We made our way through the corridors until we came up in front of the Dean's office."Wait here, Clara." Profes
CHAPTER 62CLARA'S POVI took a deep breath as I looked at him.The fact I was actually trusting this man enough to take that leap should be alarming to me. I mean, what if he had not caught me?Well, I did take the jump and he caught me bridal style and for a moment, we found ourselves lost in each other's eyes."I told you I'd catch you." He said to me,"Yeah, right. Barely." I teased him as I smiled sheepishly."Say that again, Clara." He dared me.I felt uneasy, as he was actually leaning in closer to me."Um, we should get to the principal's." I said, squirming out of his arms.He noticed my unease and let me down. I stared deep into the pools of his eyes again, another mistake I should try to fix. I mean, how do I live with myself everyday? I see his intense gaze on me."Let's go then." He said to me, giving me his hands."Sure. Let's go." I responded as I rose up smiling at him.We made our way through the back, being careful to keep off the public path as we went around the sc
