last update Last Updated: 2024-06-12 05:29:00

Lucas’s POV

“Who does she actually think she is,she makes my blood boil. If I were still in my prime, I'd eat her for dinner" I said angrily as Claire left my house.

Phone rings..

CALLER: hey

LUCAS: hi Darren

DARREN: I think I've got news about L. Come over tonight, 10pm.

LUCAS: got it, where?

DARREN: 10, Avenue Street. The alley down the street. Bye

LUCAS: bye

I thought to myself…”Avenue Street is kinda far and it'll be way too suspicious going there that late especially in the alley. I'm supposed to be a high school student haha."

“Well.."

Claire's POV

“Mom, did you hear about the party?... Mom, please let me go" I begged my mom. “Claire, your brother won't be there to protect you,I can't take that risk"... “But mom, Bianca and Sophie are gonna be there, you trust them.. Mom pleaseeee" i begged mom again

“You have to promise to come home before 10pm" she negotiated

“Yes mom,I will. I promise"

“I love you mom"...”I love you too sweetie"

Few hours later, "I got dressed in a sundress,not too much attention would be drawn even though it did accentuate my chest, I'm okay with a little cleavage. I'm not swimming at least”

The driver took Claire to the party as it was getting dark, she arrived at 8pm. As she entered, she was hit with loud music and stench from people dancing. The whole place reeked of alcohol. Claire was utterly shocked “A-aalcohol is banned here-ee”.

Ben sighted Claire and walked up to her.

" Claireee” he greeted and hugged her. " How are you doing?, Enjoying the party?” " Yes, yes I am. Thank you”. " Enjoyyy”

" Yeah bye”. Claire couldn't find Sophie and Bianca anywhere so she went to the kitchen that was less occupied.

She sat on the counter and drank some wine. Lucas came in, " Hi there” he greeted smirking yet again. " Ughh, you're here” Claire groaned.

" You know you're grateful I'm there, you looked distorted from afar”. " How long have you been here?” Claire asked. " You don't need to know that '' he clinked his glass with hers and leaned to the counter opposite hers, right in front of her smiling.

They both had multiple drinks after some time. They were both drunk, so drunk that they held their phones up to call each other.

CLAIRE: I hope this doesn't contain alcohol (giggling and having hiccups)

LUCAS: uhmmm hmmmm I think it does. (Smiling slightly)

“wait" she dramatically gestured. “You smile?, I thought you were only capable of smirking,you dork", her words came out slurry.

" I do smile,you fool hahahahaha. Foolish girl” Lucas drank a lot.

" How dare you?!” She pulled his collar and he staggered forward. She took him by his collar and hit his head.

" Owwwww Clear!”

" It's Claire not Clear, dork” she continued hitting him.

He held her two fists up in the air and said "You are sooo annoying-ggg”. She pushed him and he hit his head on the cabinet. He immediately got sober due to his history of being drunk and sober quickly in case of emergency.

" Oh shoot it's 9:30. Luckily, Avenue Street is 30 minutes away from here."

Lucas looked up at Claire. “I can't leave this girl here, her empty-heads friends are not here to take care of their empty-head friend"

Lucas carried the still drunk Claire and put her in his car. He went back in to take her stuff including phone and bag. He drove off to the place Darren had described and left Claire in the car as he got down.

“Her iris will begin to lose it's color very soon according to the history books. If she doesn't assume her true form as a Luna werewolf"

“Are you sure about this Darren?" I asked.

“Yes, I'm sure. If you need a clue, notice different shades of colors in her iris, then she might be on the list of girl we need to investigate"

Lucas thought to himself, “why do I feel like I've seen a girl whose eyes are fitting these descriptions…”

" Which girl?, you need to be very observant, Lucas!”

Then Lucas remembered Claire, when she fell on him. He was lost in her eyes because they looked so different. Like they were the same color but different shades, her eyes had a very visible sparkle in it. He shrugged off the idea that Claire could be a suspect but decided not to overlook it.

After 2 hours, they were done and Lucas went back to his car with Darren escorting him. Darren peeped and saw Claire in the back seat of the Jeep, " I see why you've been less observant, you're busy with these prostitutes. She IS rather too pretty to be a prostitute you know but who knows. Could you share?” He said seductively.

" She's not a prostitute!, get that into your head, Darren.” Lucas glared, fully sober and got into the car.

" No need to be feisty,I understand. Just be careful my man. Good bye”

Lucas said nothing and drove off. " Tch, dumbo” Darren mockingly commented.

Lucas got home, he couldn't reach anyone who knows Claire and her house and Claire was still very much drunk. He carried her in his arms and took her to the guest room with her stuff.

He laid her on the bed, tucked the white sheets and stood up to leave as he couldn't change her clothes. "Wait” Claire said asleep as she grasped his hands into hers. " Don't go, I'm thirsty-yy ugh” her words still came out slurry.

" Okay Okay, I'll get you water. Let go of me now”

" Noooo, I'm thirsty." Her eye lids closed halfway and her movements were staggered.

Lucas helped her sit up and laid her head on the bed rest, she slightly embraced his arm,His eyes widened at the sudden closure. Lucas was very much unconscious of his hand movements because Claire had his arm so when she pulled it,she was able to pull far leaving Lucas with no time to hesitate the pull.

" I'm thirstyyyyy” Claire groaned. " Let me go, Claire “. " No!” she shouted and pulled Lucas’s arm yet again but she pulled too hard. Lucas’s face was at a close proximity to hers and for some reasons he felt flustered. She smiled. She held his face with her two hands and laughed " you stupid dork haha”

" Hmm hmm” Lucas coughed and got up. She stood up but fell as she was far from being sober. Lucas quickly held her up but they ended up falling on the bed. Claire sat with her two legs at opposite sides on his upper torso and stared at him for a while.

"..Pretty “ she marvelled as her pupils dilated. Lucas didn't understand whether it was because of the alcohol or something else, he couldn't care less anyways. She started pulling his hair, " your hair is pretty, pretty, pretty!. Lemme have some! Yayyyy!”

" Owwwww “ Lucas groaned as she yanked his hair. " Get off me, you're such a trouble maker. I should have just left you there”

Claire fell unconscious right on top of Lucas and her lips slightly brushed his and then she fell back to the bed. He laid down for seconds and wiped his lips, staring down at the girl on his bed. He shrugged the awkward feeling off and walked down to his room feeling numb.

He couldn't sleep as he needed more clues to find the person he has been looking for, he needed her to save the dying clan before the Wolverines catch up to her and use her power diabolically.

Word got to the police and the party was raided. Ms Ravenwood discovered this and went straight to the police station. She couldn't find Claire anywhere neither was her phone ringing. “Where on earth is this girl" she said, almost at tears.

Eventually,she gave up and went home patiently waiting for her daughter.

“Oh myyy, I’m having a bad headache” Claire groaned. " Wait… where am I?". She groaned as she gets flash backs of the night and gasps when she remembers the last part.. “oh no, oh no, oh nooo! Mom is going to kill me" she shrieked.

“Finally awake,get up and leave." Lucas said in his morning deep voice. Claire didn't seem to get the memo. He placed his hands on her shoulders and leaned forward “LEAVE.". Him being so close to her reminded both of them of last night.

Lucas coughed and awkwardly stood properly. “Freshen up and get going". “Okay",she replied.

Claire came downstairs and met Lucas serving food, wearing an apron.“Did you make this?"

“Of course, come sit and have breakfast before you go" Lucas smiled and opened the seat for her.

“Thank you."

“You're welcomeeeee"

“I like your SpongeBob theme apron" she commented mockingly. “Oh please shut it" he said rolling his eyes.

“I'm just complimenting you hahaaa". “Whatever, just sit and be quiet".

They finished breakfast and Lucas took the plates to the kitchen. Claire came in. “I'm sorry, Lucas." looking down at her feet.

Worried Lucas, “why are you sorry?, yeah you have a lot of reasons so start talking."

“Uhm for two days ago, calling you a weirdo and for last night troubles, I'm sorry"

“Oh thaaat, you don't need to be" Lucas chuckled and strolled down to her and wrapped his arms around her and she put her arms around his waist. It went on for a few seconds before he realized he was actually being intimate with her, the same for her too.

“Hmm hmm, I'm sorry I didn't think before I did that. I'm very sorry" he bowed apologetically.

The tension was really awkward already.

“Uhm.. it's okay really. Okay okay. I'll get going now, bye"

She quickly packed her things and left. She took a cab home.

When she got home, she faced a panel. Her mom wailed “Where have you been?!"

“Mom,I was at a friend's. My phone was dead and I was drunk, apparently and he couldn't leave me there. Sophie and Bianca were nowhere to be found. I'm sorry mom. I'm sorry"

“Oh my days, Claire!. You promised" Ms Ravenwood left the scene and went upstairs

“Sorry sis" Henry added. “Sigh" she sighed.

Ms RavenWood was very upset with Claire but she knew she couldn't be upset for that long. She was just happy that her daughter was home.

Claire thought as she goes upstairs, "Mom is pretty upset with me, I totally understand anyways”. She sighed and knocked the door to her Mom's room. " Who's that?” " It's me mom, Claire” " Come in”

Claire went straight to hug her mom in tears, " Mom, I'm so so sorry. Please forgive me.” Her mom was almost at tears too, " it's fine my love, just be careful and make sure to always call me”

" Yes mom, I will “. " Okay, go have some sleep. You must be tired”.

Claire went straight to her room and jumped on the bed,she slept off almost immediately and remained then for 6 hours. She woke up at 9pm.

She worked more on her project on her reading table with her laptop, making notes to defend the project later on. After 2 hours, she got tired again and went to sleep. Claire left her phone charging and didn't even bother to check it.

Lucas spent the day in the forest, enjoying the fresh smell of nature, the sounds of the breeze as the trees dance to the rhythm and drinking soju as he sat down for hours. He smiled at the thought of Claire insulting his apron and he immediately cringed, “She’s really something .". The sun finally cast down and left creepy shadows of the trees and shrubs as he walked back into his lifeless house.

    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

    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

    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
