Lucas's Point of View I shot open my eyes as I woke up. I went downstairs to make breakfast as usual, Darren came in a few moments later. "Hey man, how are you doing?" Darren greeted, and we shook hands. I shrugged my shoulders, “Good, I guess" .Minutes later, after breakfast was served, Claire came downstairs, dressed in long pants and a white button-up shirt, looking chic and corporate. "I'll be back," she said, not giving me a glance."It's dangerous out there, Claire," I said, standing up, but she didn't even look back nor acknowledge me. With that, she left. "At least have breakfast!" I yelled out."There's no point calling her now. She has gotten in the car already and driven off.” Darren said, tapping on his phone."Shouldn't I have told her? I mean, it's a good thing that she knows now and I told her. Rather than her finding out from an enemy or something." I sighed.I am really worried about Claire and how she's faring with the information. From her actions, it seems she is
Hey readers, how are you my lovelies!. Please bear with me, this chapter is unedited. Arigatou ^_^My eyes fluttered open as I woke up. I felt something heavy on me and noticed Claire was still sound asleep beside me. She snuggled a bit closer and I let out a small laugh.I managed to pull away from her grasp and put a pillow in my place. I went downstairs for my normal morning duties. I didn't really know how to approach Claire after everything that had happened, I wouldn't know what to do even if I was in her place. Darren had gone to Wolf Crest overnight and won't be back until morning. ..Darren shook my body slightly as I darted awake at quarter to 3am. I gently moved Claire to the other side of the bed. Darren motioned for me to come outside and I followed, tiptoeing.“Man, there's some bad news from the Crest.” he explained, as he gestured nervously.Darren had always had a soft heart for the Wolf Crest and a genuine but hidden interest for humans who discriminate.“What do
Claire burst into her room and shut the door behind it, she leaned against the door, laughing frantically. Lucas knocked on the door and called out, “Hey just let me explain…. please.” bringing his tone down at the last part.“You’re only making it more embarrassing by doing this, you know.” She said through muffled laughs.Lucas heaved and left her door. Claire plopped on her bed and took her phone out of the cabinet. She seemed to have forgotten all her sadness in one go. Thanks to Luke, you did *wink*That’s not true!Oh you know it is!Definitely not someone that has less control over his body. *eyeroll*You know it’s not something he can control, our body is weird... And besides, it DID fluster you, didn’t it?Oh shut it, mind.I’m jus saying… look at your cheeks man.Claire flung herself out of the bed and sat infront of the mirror. “Oh no! I hope he didn’t notice this.” She panicked, holding her face. “Lemme fix this quickly.”She went to the bathroom and washed her face, s
Claire rushed out, trying to catch up to him.What have you done now?Oh come on, I wasn’t even that bad.Face it!, her conscience spoke.“I didn’t mean it—” Claire yelled after Lucas, as the two boys seated turned their heads back. Lucas smiled shyly, walking back to the flushed Claire.“It’s nothing, guys,” he shouted, turning his face to Darren and James. The two boys glanced at each other, confused.“That’s just going to make it more embarrassing,” Claire mumbled, hitting his chest slightly. “You don’t have an iota of shame in you!” she whisper-yelled.Lucas chuckled, drowning Claire’s figure in his, from the view downstairs. Lucas stood in front of Claire and stretched out his hands. “Wanna go to the balcony?” he asked, pausing for a bit to smile.I can’t resist that stupid gummy smile. I hate him.“Sure, but I can hold my own hand,” she scoffed and swung her long hair right across his face.He huffed and chuckled, making his way to the balcony behind her....She closed her eyes
Claire’s Point of View (POV)“Alright guys! Take your bags and baggages! LET’S GO HIKINGGGG!” Lucas yelled from downstairs. I got dressed in a long blue flare jean and a long-sleeved top. Can’t take risks in the nature.I backed my 4-foot-long backpack that weighed half my entire body weight and headed downstairs. I’ll take this as an exercise, you never know.. anything can be used to exercise. I thought as I shrugged and strutted down the stairs.The boys were downstairs already, I guess they had been calling me for quite some time, judging from the impatient looks on their faces. “You don’t need to yell, the Queen is here.” I said as I swayed my ponytail, turning around.I stumbled a bit and laughed it off, standing in front of them. “What the heck, Claire?” Luca asked, his face filled with an expression I can’t put a finger on.He touched my bag, which made me push-back due to the additional weight. He quickly held the collar of the bag up, which included me. “WHOAAA, why do
“Shit!" Lucas fell on the floor, burrowing his face in his palms.“To be honest bro, that was a bit too harsh. Did you even notice her foot?" Darren said, setting a chair.Lucas sighed, crouching his knees up. They raised their heads to a crashing noise, “Don't just sulk here. Are you really going to let her go?” James snapped, after throwing a bottle across the room.“He's right. She might be upset but you still have to make sure she's safe, she couldn't have gone far with her injury." Darren said.Lucas got up and cleaned the dirt from his pants. “You're right." I messed up big time, she had tears in her eyes. I can't believe I caused that. They packed up the tent and put all her stuff in her bag. Lucas carried the bag and they set out back to the car.….“I won't stop for a minute to wallow in my tears. I don't wish to have a life, I'm tired." Claire whimpered, pressing on her injured foot.She took the spare keys from her pocket and opened the gate. Thankfully I keep a spare wi
Lucas’ Point Of View (POV)We set out to meet an ally’s pack. Rumours have it that they have the best investigators. It’s not really my forte but I have people around me that are really good with this. I drove the car downtown and made a swerve into a deserted street. We were met with a huge building, more like a castle. I had James and Darren follow me. I may have doubts about leaving Claire all alone but I’m also doing this for her safety. “We’re here.” I said, as I parked the car under a shed.We walked to the gates, as we were scanned.Technology really has gone far..We entered through the gates and were escorted by some Omegas.“Wait here for a minute.” One of them said as the rest dissembled.He came back after a few moments and motioned for us to come in. There was so much aura felt as we stepped into the shadowed room, it had huge windows as it was at the top of the building, yet it still managed to have a dark aura. He was seated in front of a wide rectangular glass de
Claire’s POV (Point Of View)I fluttered my eyes open and looked down to the ruffled duvet. I scratch my eyes with my fist trying to clear my vision. I took the duvet and went upstairs. “I could have sworn I was just watching TV.” I said groggily, the boys must have arrived.I slowly opened the door as it many small squeaky noise. “Shhh.” I placed my index on my lips, trying to shush the inanimate door.I relaxed on my bed as I unplugged my phone. I always come back to I*******m and Tiktok but it has never really made me content but I was a bit satisfied. There’s always this pang in my heart when I see myself laughing and making good memories. Am I really unworthy of happiness? , I sometimes thought to myself but after Chloe’s death, I actually feel like I’m unworthy.Seeing her life flash before my eyes in a split second felt like my heart had been chunked off and part of my soul has been ripped away from me. In that moment, a felt a strong connection and pain with that classmate I pr
Hey everyone,I hope you're all doing well and staying safe! I wanted to give you all a quick update about the story. First off, thank you so much for your incredible support and enthusiasm for Claire, Lucas, and Blake's journey. Your comments and feedback would be such a huge motivation for me.That said, I've hit a bit of a creative block recently. I know it's been a few days since the last update, and I wanted to be transparent with you all about what's going on. Writing can sometimes be a bit of a rollercoaster, and right now, I'm in one of those tricky spots where the words just aren't flowing as easily as I'd like them to.I'm taking some time to step back, recharge, and gather new inspiration so I can come back stronger and with fresh ideas. I really want to make sure that each chapter I share is the best it can be, and that takes a bit of time and patience.Writing this story has been such an incredible journey for me. I've poured my heart and soul into creating these characte
Lucas’s POV (Point Of View)Claire had slumped asleep in the car as we headed home. To be very honest, I was scared to my bottoms when I saw Claire alone with them. I had no ounce of an idea that she would be able to fight them off like that, especially turning into her true form. For days, I’ve kept thinking of how I could make or even encourage her to transform but I also feared that she didn’t know how yet and she wasn’t ready. I guess the fear mixed with her determination to fight for herself resulted in her transformation.She’s fast asleep on my laps due to the energy an pain it takes to transform for the first time, usually werewolves transform from their early days and usually take days of recuperation for their bodies to fully adapt to the change but for Claire doing this for the first time in 18 years, I don’t know the extent to which but I know she’s going to be asleep for a while. At our arrival, I stepped out of the car with Claire in my arms. James opened the door wide
”Alright, miss. We go harder today and this session is a minimum of 4 hours.” Darren said as his whistle screeched round the room.My shoulders fell as I sighed, “What a life…”“Don’t worry, sweetie. You’ll be fine.” Says James as he gently pats my shoulders.I squared off against Lucas in the clearing, the sun casting long shadows through the huge windows. They both wore training gear, with Claire looking determined and Lucas exuding calm confidence.Without warning, I lunged forward, my fist slicing through the air toward Darren’s face. He ducked swiftly, feeling the rush of wind as my attempt to land a punch flopped. With a quick pivot, Darren drove her elbow into my ribs, eliciting a grunt of pain.“You can’t outdo the doer, baby. Sorry love.” Darren grinned, standing upright.“That’s what I get for thinking I could land a surprise attack.” I muttered quietly, clutching onto my stomach."Remember Claire." Lucas said, coming forward to me, "focus on your form and balance." He rose m
Claire’s POV (Point Of View)I held my head, squirming from the loud noise over my head. “WHAT THE HECK?” I yelled at the boys standing in front of my bed all dressed up in gym wears.Darren, who was ringing the loud bell finally stopped, eyeing me with a grin. That snobby jerk.“Finally…” I sighed, relaxing back. I rubbed my hands down my face,”What do you guys want now? I groaned, glancing at the three, giving them dirty looks.Lucas knelt on the floor beside me and looked at me as his blue eyes softened, “Claire, you NEED to get out of your comfort zone and start getting conversant with your combat skills. Aren’t you curious about your nature or are you still finding it hard to accep-““NO! I’m not finding it hard to accept that I’m a werewolf.” I interjected. “I’m in fact determined to know all that I need to know. I can’t sleep at night knowing that my people are being killed for a reason that’s me.” I said as my mind drifted to how I felt with the death of Chloe, not to talk of h
