CHAPTER 64CLARA'S POVI had not been totally wrong to be suspicious of anything. I could tell from what I was feeling right now that a lot of things had gone wrong and down the drain with Principal Hawkins.The blood stains was more than enough evidence and now, I could see Professor Derrick had caught on with my fears too as he looked around the area."Did you find anything?" I asked him."Hold on." He said to me as he was busy looking around.I stood there observing him for the moment and then suddenly, he turned around to look at me with those eyes of his."We would go this way." He said to me solemnly.I knew things were going badly right now. I quickly went over to him as I fell in step with him and kept walking briskly beside him.We went on silently as I kept myself from saying anything. I could not have him lose concentration at this point. We went further into the woods and he would occasionally sniff the air and would have us turning into one part of the woods or another.P
CHAPTER 65ALPHA DERRICK'S POVWe approached Hawkins where he was propped up, my heart full of expectancy. I wanted him to be alive as I would fare better with him telling us the take of what had happened to him. It would be much easier and better to hear it being told from the horse's mouth itself than from mine and I would finally have something to argue with."Please be alive, buddy." I said to him as I knelt down in front of him.I carefully unwrapped the handkerchief around my hand and reached out two fingers close to his nostrils. I wanted to catch him breathing especially as I was listening but could not hear his heart beating. I was still trying to hold onto the false hopes of having seen him jerk when a maggot crawled out of his nose.My hands dropped sadly as the dawning realization hit me drastically. He was clearly dead. I stood up sadly as I looked at him and around us."He's dead?" Clara asked me."That he is." I responded sadly to her."But we saw him move." She cried o
CHAPTER 66ALPHA DERRICK'S POVHearing that someone from Beta Benson's camp was here seemed to aggravate me even more. But more importantly was whatever they were doing?This was my chance and it was right here. My eyes widened when I saw someone coming out of the house bearing a bucket in one hand and wearing a glove stained with blood.Those bastards! They were trying to get rid of evidence and I had to stop them."Is it coming off at least?" The one who Clara had said was the right hand bodyguard asked."We got everywhere wet and now it is gradually getting out." The man with the bucket responded."Well, hurry up with it. We don't have all night." The man responded."Yes, Sir." The man with the bucket responded as he proceeded to throw the contents. He had just spilled a little from the bucket when he was stopped."Asshole! You want to pour it out there?" The bodyguard asked again."Well, where do we pour it, Sir?" The man asked.By the look of things, the cleaners did not want to
ALPHA DERRICK'S POVWe had just enough of dancing around each other and I was actually beginning to tire of his games. It was time to end this and end this I would.He had suddenly come at me again when I caught him by the neck really firmly. My claws were daring to pierce his windpipe.He put his hand up instantly."Who sent you?" I demanded."I'll not say anything!" He said angrily."Oh, really? How about I start off on the basis of killing you?" I asked him."Go ahead. Killing me would be way more merciful than what he would do originally to me. Be my fucking guest!" He yelled at me."Oh, I see. I wasn't exactly planning on killing you. I was going to pierce your windpipe like so but not so deep. Just enough to make you feel ultimate pain and enough to let you heal. Then again. What do you say?" I asked him."You're not evil. You wouldn't." He said to me,Whatever was making them think I was Maximus the merciful?I smiled wickedly as I recalled how angry I had been at his master. O
CLARA'S POV"Did you see all that move from our man? He is so strong!" Clover said to me.I had been watching them retreat and then I turned to sit on the cold ground by the tree, pulling my legs up to me and wrapping my arms around them now.I was actually worried that he would be going into the den of the lions alone and I was not there to protect him."Aww, come on now, Clara. He would be fine." Clover said excitedly to me."Really? Because I am actually beginning to worry more." I said to her,"Derrick would not be harmed. Not a single hair on his head." She said to me,"And you know how?" I asked her."Because it's the way. To harm an Alpha is like drawing blood and swords for war." She said to me,"How old are you, Clover?" I asked her, trying to distract myself.I needed to feel better because the night had covered the sky now. It was dark now and I was all alone at night."I'm very old, Clara. You want to hear the story of what happens to us wolves?" She asked me."Would that
GRACE'S POVI had to figure a way around this. Perhaps I have not been the best of friend's to Clara owing to the fact that I have been keeping a number of secrets from her. For a while now, I have been unable to get actual sleep but I had to pretend. Several times I would be awake but pretend not to notice her sneaking out of the house to see Derrick. The reason for this was something I could not actually tell her.It would be best if she does not know.It all started with the night I turned sixteen. I was supposed to be linked to my wolf and find my mate but that had not happened either. Something however happened to me that night.I had fallen asleep on my bed but then I had a number of bad dreams and omens. I kept finding myself running in the woods and trying to figure out where the noise was coming from in my head. It was as though all the nocturnals had suddenly awakened and were trying to tear down through my defenses. I screamed for my own peace but it did not happen.I even
CHAPTER 70ARMAND'S POVI looked at every one of them as they trooped in. I was being careful with these old slimy ones as there was actually no knowing what evil lurks behind those dark eyes and heartless cavities. They might seem old but they were strong and should they try and attack, I would have a really hard time keeping them at bay.Nevertheless, I had a very good backup right behind those big curtains. No way would they be able to deal with a couple of my trained soldiers that wanted nothing more than their liberation. I was their ray of hope and they would do everything to protect.I rose to my feet as they entered to greet them."Welcome, my elders. I have been waiting and am beginning to give up hopes of seeing you all." I said to them,"We were contemplating forfeiting this meeting." One of them, Orlando, spat his selfish words at me.He used to be a good friend to my uncle who was boxed away at this moment in that coffin. He had never really been in support and I could be
ALPHA DERRICK'S POV"Alpha Derrick. I thought you would never grace my homestead with your presence. It's a pleasure." Alpha Clark said to me."I am in no mood. A lot has been going wrong in your pack." I said to him,"My pack?" He asked, looking totally confused about what was happening.I was actually beginning to grow angry with all their drama of ignorance as I already knew deep within that they were all aware of everything. I mean, who would have such a large field of wolfsbane on their shores and pretend not to know? Whatever his reactions right now would tell me all I needed to know about him."Yes. Your pack has been committing atrocities. I would be calling for a meeting with all the packs." I said to him,"But Alpha Derrick, I am still at loss with whatever you're trying to say to me. What is this that my pack is guilty of and I promise you, I shall make certain it is tackled." He said to me,So he wants to play ball, eh?"And if you cannot handle it?" I asked him."Then I
