CLARA'S POVI was obviously late. I looked around as I was clearly going hysterical at this point."Clara, we need to..." Clover said."She's not here... she's gone. It is all my fault." I responded instead."Clara, calm down. We can figure this out." She said to me,I could barely hear her at this point as my eyes were scanning the area. I sniffed the air but even her familiar perfume was nowhere to be found. I noticed someone was coming in and quickly, I grabbed her by the arm.She seemed frightened and I felt sorry for her but I needed to make sure Grace was safe."Get off me, you freak!" She shrieked."Grace, have you seen her?" I asked her."No! Get off!" She yelled as she peeled my hands off her. I would not fault her however because I understood they did not really like me.Fine. I would go around looking for her myself.I started around the school premises, everywhere I could think of but Grace was still nowhere to be found at the moment. I eventually was left with just one pl
CLARA'S POV"Come out now." I said to her looking sternly at her."Do you forgive me?" She asked me."Yes. Now get out of that place." I said to her,"I wish I could but apparently, I still have two hours until my punishment." She said to me,"What exactly did you do?" I asked her."Didn't you hear? I ate in the classroom." She said to me,"Oh, you were actually serious." I responded."But..." She started."Shh...ears and gossips." I said as I had just turned and noticed Melissa who was looking right at me with a dangerous grin on her face.She was perked up with her wolf ears obviously and I was trying to keep from laughing out loud. I had intentionally mentioned the part of gossip while looking at her to make certain that she heard.I listened for her reaction."Peasant." She said angrily as she looked away from us."Queen bee." I responded slowly but I knew she heard."What was that about?" Grace asked me."Apparently, some princesses think they are way too good for their own good
CLARA'S POVI walked out of the classroom briskly. Things were really going overboard and I was actually going to have to step up my game plan. I walked out but on the lookout for Kent. I did not want to see him or get into more troubles with him.I was just coming outside the school block when I ran into Grace who excitedly was making her way to me."Apparently, they decided to let me go." She said to me,"Good." I said and tried to step around her."Good? Wait, Clara. What happened? I have been meaning to also ask as regards to who made you into a Smurf." She said to me,"A Smurf is way better. Kent attacked me again." I said to her,"Kent? Oh my goodness. What did he want?" She asked me."Me. He claimed that I was his woman. Grace, he looked more dangerous than I have ever seen before. Kent tried to molest me in class." I said to her,"Well, he's been mostly that way since Professor Derrick showed up but not to this extent." Grace said to me.I looked around and realized this place
ALPHA DERRICK'S POVI had to return with Randall to the frontier. It was not so far off from us and I made it as quick as possible."The Alpha. He's back!" A soldier said out loud and I barked at him."Silence, soldier! We don't want word out yet." I said to him,"My apologies, Al.." he was about to say when I silenced him with a glare.Other soldiers noticed and instead bowed as I went past them. I went straight to the big tent where the strategies were being made and my Beta too."Derrick... I mean, Alpha." He said as soon as he caught sight of me."Let's keep it down, shall we?" I asked him."My apologies. Randall, many thanks for bringing him back." He said to the gamma."My pleasure. I wouldn't have had it any other way. Although, he made it tough on me because he found..."Randall was saying."Now who did you bring here? I merely came in haste because I was worried about you all." I said to the Beta."He lies." Randall said to him."You were going to tell me why." The Beta said
ALPHA DERRICK'S POV"Derrick, what is it?" Randall asked me."Gamma, be on the lookout for anyone trying to escape." I said to him,"Okay, Alpha." He responded.I was scanning them all for any signs of anyone looking suspicious. The soldiers were maintaining their cool and looked on like they did not understand what I was talking about."You're not going to step out?" I asked yet again."Alpha, what are we searching for?" Randall asked yet again.Could he not hear me? I just said for him to do one specific thing and here he was asking multiple questions again. I decided to look ahead and above it as I decided that I would address my men."Listen, I shall be going through the tents of each and everyone here. Once I move with the Gamma and Beta, you all should kill anyone among you that tries to escape." I said to them,"Yes, Alpha!" They said all together.The strength of their voice was actually convincing. Actually, I knew within me that most of these soldiers were loyal. If there wa
CLARA'S POVIt was a relief now that Melissa and her cronies were all gone. We could now carry out our plot. Not necessarily a plot but our quest for freedom."We don't have time, Grace. We need to get this over and done with." I said to Grace."As much as I pictured cute babies between you and Kent, I have to agree with you now. We should get this done and over with at this point." She said to me,"Less talking then. More action." I said to her as I grabbed my bag.This was way long overdue. We had been trying to get this thing sorted for weeks in a row. Finally, I would be able to unlink Kent..."And get Derrick whom we deserve." Clover said to me.I smiled widely."We're not sure it's Derrick, you know." I said to her,"But you wish he was the one.. Don't you, Clara?" She asked me.Indeed I did wish he was the one. I mean, who on earth would not with how excellent of a person he was. Derrick was everything I desired in a man and beyond. The bond between us was something really stro
ALPHA DERRICK'S POVIt was easy to suspect my Beta at this point. I mean, Philippe had been acting all weird but he has also been my friend since childhood. He actually used to hate the vampires and I wanted to believe his stance was still unchanged. His mother had been actually killed by those blood suckers.She was not a fighter actually. She had lost her mind and had been wandering a whole lot. Apparently one day, she had strayed so far away from our area and by the time we noticed, she had crossed so far and the vampires got to her before we could.It was not going to be totally out of place then to believe that her son would actually detest the vampires. So let us play along the line of the benefit of doubt and hope that he was still on our side. If there was ever a thing about me, it was the fact that I gave enough chances."This means there is one then?" Philippe asked me."It means we have a spy and a traitor. If it was one of them only, he would not have brought back his loot
CLARA'S POV"Humph!" Melissa shrugged as she angrily walked past us.It felt really nice to see her put on the edge once again. She clearly had been defeated in her scheme to get at me for no just cause.I looked at Grace and then signaled that we should leave. It would be only a matter of time before the potion would take effect and we would not have to ever again worry about Kent and his disturbances.Grace nodded and I led the way towards the exit."And where do you think that you would be headed?" Kent demanded angrily."Um, I was hoping... I thought..." I was searching for the right words to use on him but I could not find any.We clearly would be stuck with Kent and knowing him, he would make things hard for me "Actually, what Clara was trying to say is that we'll be out of your way right away." Grace said and started walking briskly."Stop right there!" Kent yelled.We both froze on the spot as I turned to look at Grace."Do you think he suspects you both?" Clover asked within
