CLARA'S POV"Clara, mi amor? Touche." Grace said as we brought the package inside.It seemed confusing as I was not expecting that Derrick was back already and besides, if any guy was going to get into the dormitory, it had to be him who had been here before. I smiled as I was actually wondering what would be contained inside the package."So, is this where I get to ask if you can see the sender?" I asked Grace."I don't think I can now. My powers, they're just so low grade for now. But I promise that I will try and fix it when I go meet her." Grace said to me."I'll consider a favor for them. But wait, what if this is just a prank by Melissa and her cronies?" I asked now as it struck me that I was still in my enemies territory.It was not so hard to think about that as there was no telling what Melissa could do. The moment I mentioned it, Grace herself looked worried and stepped away from the box which was set on my bed now."Wow, so much for wanting to protect me, soldier." I said a
CLARA'S POVI am stunned now."It did not work." Clover whispered in my ear.What was she saying? Was it not obvious enough that it did not make even one attempt at working?"Clara, I want us to start afresh. A clean slate this time just like when we were kids." Kent said to me.I looked around me as worriedly as possible. I caught sight of Grace and she too was stunned. The entire school was even watching us closely and Kent was still kneeling in front of me. He looked so sincere and upright at this point that I was quite worried about what he would say.This look was the one I was used to on the Kent I knew when I was a child. It was endearing and enticing. I knew within me that if I was not careful enough, I would definitely fall for his misconducts."Oh, isn't that Grace?" Kent said, still on one knee. "Hi, Grace!"He hailed Grace who gulped. She was obviously afraid right now as she slowly put up her hand and waved at him."Hi Kent, I guess?" She muttered."This is bad, Clara." C
CLARA'S POV "We need to get out of here." Grace said to me.Get out of here now things are beginning to get okay? I needed to see how this would all end. There they were, the boy lapping his urine like his life depended on it, the teacher ready to defend and Kent ready to attack."You think you're so untouchable, huh?" The teacher demanded angrily."I never said that I was. Come on and get it, teach!" Kent said to him."You animal. You treat others like they are beneath you when there's no difference in everyone. We bleed the same!" The teacher said,"Point taken." Kent responded."Stop this nonsense right this instant!" The teacher warned Kent."Try and stop me!" Kent said to him challengingly.That was one thing about werewolves and their silly ego. This time, the teacher went on attack as he lunged for Kent who stepped out of his way gracefully.They engaged each other and soon, there was an uproar in the entire locker area. I took a look at the boy who was lapping and right that
CLARA'S POVI had passed out yet again and this time, I wanted nothing but to remain in the dark space of emptiness where I would have full access to Derrick. The last thing I recalled was the sound of his voice in my head and that had been it.I was probably going to die but at the very least, I would die knowing he still cared about me. It was however saddening that I would be unable to clear my father's name just yet and he would probably be disappointed at me.Well, I have not seen him in many long years. He should at the very least be pleased to see me, right?I do not know for how long but I was still there in the dark."Clara.... Clara... Clara..." I heard my name in the empty void.I opened my eyes to the other world and I could see how it was. So serene yet so void. I was looking around for who called me but I could not see whom. In my haze, I was certain I knew that voice but it was not clear to me who it was."Where are you?" I asked about the emptiness."Seek and you shall
GRACE'S POVAs soon as they entered, I quickly grabbed a nearby towel and covered Clara's naked body.No way now would they expect that Clara would go anywhere with them. She was injured and now they are here and coming to take her to the heavens.I rose up quickly on my feet as I stepped forward to glare at them."No. She's going nowhere." I declared to them angrily."Step aside, young one." Their leader said to me,"Only if you're going to leave Clara alone." I responded to them."Don't worry. I'll go with them." Clara said weakly as she was trying to rise up.I could tell she was trying to protect me and avoid issues with them. However, it was my turn to stand up for her."No, Clara. You're wounded and would take your time to heal." I commanded her."Listen, Miss Grace, we respect you but your friend must come with us." The leader insisted."And I just demanded to know where. Where do you want her to go?" I demanded angrily."Actually, she'll find out when she gets there. She'll be
CLARA'S POVWait... Back check, what is happening right now?I have only awoken to chaos all through. First, these nut heads had wanted to take me away and I was actually feeling weak. I laid down after I had seen Grace and was trying to heal. I had not yet even seen what she pulled out of me.The healing was taking its time and then I heard Grace arguing with them. Despite the fact she had no wolf, she stood up for me like it was her own life.I only wished she had already started harnessing her powers and then I would see just how they would try and make her uncomfortable. They were growing wings and it was getting really annoying by the moment.I saw her angry for real and went to get dressed only to come back and find Melissa here defending me.Defending me?Something has gone horribly wrong with that potion and I needed to get to the root of it.Melissa even hugged me and then she expressed her love for me."Love? You, Melissa.... love me?" I asked her."Why, yes. I do love you s
ALPHA DERRICK'S POVI knew instantly that Clara was in trouble when I reached out to her and her voice sounded like she was actually fading away. Her response was not even steady enough and I found it both worrisome and scary.I rose up suddenly."Derrick, do you and the Silver girl share a mind link already?" Philippe asked me."Derrick, answer this and there would be no time. Clara is obviously in trouble." Reid said to me.I knew who to listen to in that instant."I need to go back." I said to them immediately."But your driver is not here until tomorrow." Randall pointed out.And he was right. Absolutely right. I should be returning tomorrow morning but tell me, what difference does it make?"She needs me right now. She's in trouble." I responded."So, there is a mind link possibility between you two then?" Philippe asked me.I frowned. This was not the basic thing right now."It's not about the mind link. I need to save her." I responded.They however did not seem to understand t
ARMAND'S POVI looked at the young man that had come to deliver the message and then at Marcus. What have my people done?"Send for Kruger." I said as I sat down on my bed."Do I bring him here?" The young man asked me.I was angered now at his question. Could he not see the head of Orlando here? What was it going to seem like when the elders found out that I had kept on the head as a trophy in the most despicable manner?"Are you stupid? Have him wait in the throne room." I responded.He bowed his head."My apologies, sire." He said as he turned away."What is the matter, Armand? You certainly do not like the werewolves. Why are you upset that one of their own was killed?" Marcus asked me."You don't get it, do you? He was killed by our kind." I said to him,He still did not seem to understand as he stared confusingly at me."As it should be, right?" He asked me.Damnit! What was so hard to comprehend right now."No, Marcus. He was our spy. Now, I had promised him to turn him and mak
CHAPTER 135 CLARA'S POV "What's happening? I'm seeing you..." I heard my own words voiced out in amazement. The moon goddess simply stood there and would not make a move. It was then I looked up at her and noticed that she looked sad still in the eyes. Oh well, so much for wishful thinking. "You still do not get the point, Clara." She said to me, "What point? That I should not even be allowed to see my father? That's a huge point you made." I looked at her spitefully. "No, child and trust me, you're beginning to test me." She responded. "Of course. You're the moon goddess and as a pawn in your games, I shall only shut up and take it all like a champ. No complaints, eh?" I said to her, jutting out my jaw stubbornly. "You're really something, Clara Silver. You try to get on my nerves but I find you amusing." She responded. "Of course. Every blind wolf out there is amusing. No complaints." I responded. I saw her bite down hard as she could before approaching me. Perhaps, my ton
CLARA'S POVIt was quite...Oddly so.I had been hoping that Arlene would at the very least try and check on us but I never saw him. There was no sign of him and neither was there any of Derrick.Fear gripped me as I found myself wondering if everything was okay with him (Derrick).I needed someone to talk to.I needed to share my fears right now but Derrick was nowhere to be found."Clara, you need to rest." I heard Clover say to me."Oh, Clover! I feel so alone and lost." I said with a sigh.That was the honest truth. I felt bitter and really worked up right now but was there anything I could do?I doubt so."You'll be fine." She responded."I don't even know where Derrick is. I'm so worried. Are you not worried? What if the vamps took him?" I asked her.She let out a long drawn exhale."I am worried too, Clara. But even more than Derrick, I am worried about you. You're hurting and you have a lot on your shoulder." She said to me,"You shouldn't worry one bit about me. I'll be fine
CLARA'S POVI felt really excited as I caught onto the scent of the man that had been once announced dead. My dear father and I knew now that I had never been able to forget his scent.It was just as I remembered, so different yet so great."Dad." I called him as I traced to a standing position, where his head was."Who are you? Why do you call me father? I'm yet to find myself a woman." He said to me suddenly and I felt shattered."Father, you don't remember me?" I asked him as tears formed in my eyes.How could he do this to me? It might have been a long time but I who had lost him at eight had not forgotten him. Yet, he had such effrontery to forget me in such a short while."Come now girl, I don't know who you are. I believe I had a crush at my pack but we were just kids before I lost my way." He said to me, breaking my heart further."I'm your daughter. I'm your baby." I said to him,"How old are you then because you look so old." He said to me,"I'm only eighteen." I said to him
ALPHA DERRICK'S POV"What about him?" Randall asked as he nudged his jaw towards Kent who was still knocked out and tied up.I looked at him inquisitively before responding."The vampire said to follow him. We would follow him. You bring the boy."I said to him."Why do I get to do the hard stuff? You knocked him out, don't you think it is part of your responsibility now to..." He was still speaking when I cast him. "Fine. You don't need to look at me like I'll be next. I'll bring him." He sighed heavily as he went to Kent. Trust Randall to always make a show of how angry he gets. He made certain to land a kick to Kent's butt before struggling to pick him up while grumbling."Alpha Derrick, walk with me." Arlene said to me.Well, I guess he was back to his twelve year old vampire mode. To think a few minutes ago, this adorable looking young boy had been so intense with his glare that I nearly forgot how to breathe. I would recommend that anyone picking a fight with him should have mad
BETA BENSON'S POVI have been waiting at the pack house for this good news.Alright, bad guy here and I totally agree but you would have done the same to have some aspects of relevance attached to your name.This has always been my game plan.It is too bad I have not had the chance to introduce myself properly but I am the one who's supposed to be leading this pack.I had a strung out rivalry with Todd Silver and it was not a thing today. It was an old strife, maybe one he was not sure had such strong genesis.Could we say I always hated him and his guts from the moment my childhood dream girl had developed a friendship with him when Todd was newly transferred to our school.Everyone was all over him. He slowly took over everything and seemed like he was the saint of our time. It did not make any sense and when I tried to talk him into joining us, he had turned me down.He wanted nothing to do with my silly games and made me feel the first insult of my life. I overlooked him and decid
ALPHA DERRICK'S POV"Clara!" I called out to her as she fell off my arms.Clara sure did know how to get everyone on the edge. Right here in the vampire territory which we had encountered and she was clearly unfazed. She had suddenly left my arms to the ground and was sniffing her way further deep.I have never seen anything like that in my life. The way she moved faster and sniffed around, it was something from the human sniffing dogs.I wanted to go after her but a couple of vampires deterred me as they hissed right into our faces."Clara!" Grace even called out to her but I doubt she could hear either of us.I glared at Arlene, especially when a vampire seemed to want to threaten Clara."Arlene, are you going to let them hurt her? Us? We're not harming anyone!" I said to him as my eyes kept following her."Friends, let us all be calm. These ones mean no harm to us. At least, that much I can assure you." Arlene said to the snarling vampires."We cannot trust them in the heart of our
CLARA'S POVI had been through hell and back.It was all the fault of the damned moon goddess. Why on earth would she curse me with blindness? Could she see now the havoc she was causing?For crying out loud, I nearly drowned!"But you didn't." Clover said to me."Shut it, Clover." I said to her,"Clara, anything could be taken lightly but blasphemy against the mood goddess is evil. She sees and knows everything." She said to me,"Oh and I hope she's seeing this now." I responded to Clover.This was my thoughts right before I had been plunged into water and was drowning.I had awakened sometime when Derrick was speaking to Beta Benson's men and it was not even up to a minute when I found myself drowning.I had been so weak that I could not move at all. Eventually, I lost it all. It would be best to just drown and die than be humiliated further.The water started to get into my nostrils and I found that I was beginning to struggle to breathe too. I thought to myself, what did it matter
ALPHA DERRICK'S POVI had heard stories of Arlene and his community of non-human blood drinking vampires. We believed it to be a myth as it was clear to everyone of us that a vampire cannot claim not to drink human blood.They were supposedly evil and dark creatures from our opposite kind. The dark brother to our moon goddess had been believed to sire them.Dracula and Selene used to be siblings. Whilst Selene saw only the beauty and pureness, Dracula was believed to have experimented on the lives of humans, leading the great god to cast him down on earth and curse him.He became the sire of vampires.This was the story we had grown up to.However, the wild spread fanatic was how some of these doomed ones failed to live up to expectations and would rather feed on animals than hurt a human.This seemed strange at the time. Tell me about Arlene a few minutes ago and I would have laughed at what myth one was playing at.From the vastness of this empty landscape, I could swear there are n
ARLENE'S POVIt has been five good centuries and eleven moons since I turned.My name is Arlene and some would call me the vampire old kid.I had been human until that day when I had allowed my disobedience to get the better of me.A group of strangers had come to our little yet peaceful village. These people were pale looking and I actually believed they were ill.They had arrived while we were celebrating our annual festival. Five of them. Two women and three men. They had been so friendly and soon, we learnt to accept them.All but one wise woman I hope sometimes when I lose people I love - my mother.She found them really weird and she called me every other time."Arlene, stay away from those strangers. Something is off about them." She said to me,But being the kind of child I had been, I found it weird that my mother would not want to mingle with them. I mean, they started assisting the villages with different things.I grew fond of the older woman among them. She seemed to be i
