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
ALPHA DERRICK'S POVWait, what was happening right now and since when did Melissa...?For once, I have to agree with Reid. Melissa looked like she was getting ready to pounce on either of us and I could see how angrily she was glaring at me right now."Reid, what happened?" I asked him."Oh wow, like you brought me out and left me with Clara to watch over her, right?" He asked me."Has this occurred before?" I asked him."I don't know. I should be asking you." He said to me,I turned to Clara and she looked helplessly at me. Wait, was she also stuck here or had it been that while in my absence, Melissa and her had sucked it up and made up?Actually if that happens, it would give me joy that she would at least have some breathing space and allow me conduct my investigation."Um, Melissa..." I called her cautiously."What?" She demanded angrily."I need to tidy up stuff." I said to her,"What stuff? If this is about them taking Clara, it's not happening! They would kill her like they ha
ALPHA DERRICK'S POVAlpha Clark looked like he was going white from the shock of seeing me.He was momentarily stunned and remained in that position for a while before blinking like he was actually trying to wave aside whatever he was feeling."Um, of course not. There's no problem. Please, now you can have your seat." He said pointing to a vacant chair.Sorry ass Clark. What was he actually thinking was going to happen right now?I smiled dryly at him but did not let go of Clara's hand."I was saying you could sit." He repeated himself."I heard, the very first time." I said to him,"Certainly you should accord our Alpha a little tinge of respect in the presence of all others even if you are haughty headed." Beta Benson who was entering from the opposite direction said to me."Come on, Benson. You shouldn't talk to Alpha Derrick that way." Alpha Clark said to him."But he has no right to speak crudely and besides, it was Clara we sent for." Beta Benson said out loud as he glared at m
CLARA'S POVWait a minute, what was that again?I was actually at a point beginning to feel invincible to all of them but luckily, Professor Derrick had my back. However, right now he was beginning to confuse me with what he had just said. They were all here trying to decide my fate while I stood there.Hello guys, I'm actually here and should be involved in whatever decision you all are making about me, right?Someone tell these men."What is that word?" Alpha Clark asked no one in particular.I knew he was directing the question at Professor Derrick but was scared of saying it straight.Well, I would not say I blamed him for being afraid. The man sure as hell did leave an impact. Professor Derrick knew he was confused and then assisted him."Seems someone did not study the old texts properly. It is dici hominem and it is of Latin descent. It is to take in and I lay a claim as Clara's guardian from this moment hence." Professor Derrick said.Seriously, I felt really valued at this po
CLARA'S POVI had to choose now, right?There was no way in the world I would be able to decide so easily, especially when it could bring harm to the one person that has come to love and intercede for me.They were watching me and so was he. He stared pleadingly at me and I could feel his pain and worry instantly.Suddenly, Derrick synched to our mind link."Clara, please let me do this for you." He said to me,I chose to give him no answer as I did not want to harm him."Clara, I think this is something you, I mean, we should do." Clover said to me."You don't get it. It's like putting his life on the line." I responded to her."Clara, I know you can hear me, just say yes." Professor Derrick pleaded further.Could he not seem to understand the fact that this was just one of those really difficult decisions to make or was he beginning to kid with me."Clara, the man loves you and you know it. There's no telling the truth to you." Clover advised further."I see he does, Clover. But wha
