Claire was still very much worried about the kidnappers. She placed her chin on her hand, wondering why she would be a threat to someone.

“It couldn't be a coincidence; it looked like they were waiting for me,” she thought cautiously.

Claire pushed back into her bed, inhaling the sweet cinnamon scent of her room. Her room was her safe haven, a four-walled heaven she had built over the years. She would do anything to always return to this sanctuary.

Deciding to distract herself, Claire turned to her novel project. She eagerly opened her glitter-covered notebook and got lost in thought, trying to include a new character in the story.

Every time Claire's eyelids shut, she saw that night with Luke. Her thoughts were no longer ones she wanted to accept.

“How? I can't let myself get affected by him," she said, a glance of sadness in her eyes.

All her life, she had faced turmoils from people who were supposed to feel like a warm hug.

Despite her distractions, Claire managed to write two extr

    Claire got down from the car hurriedly. She ran up the stairs and knocked on Blake's bedroom door. “Come on in!" Blake called out.“Blake, let's name us." Claire said, breathless. Blake's lips formed into a smile and he rushed to hug her. His head nestled into her neck, he wrapped his arms around her waist and she returned the gesture.“Oh my God, Claire. I was so scared I'd made a mistake yesterday." Blake said heavily, relief evident in his voice.“Since when?" Claire asked.“Huh?"“Since when?" “Oh, since Christmas 2012." “Whoaa!" Claire exclaimed with excitement."I know, right?" Blake said as he let go, looking down at Claire, smiling, and then hugging her again.Blake and Claire cuddled and talked about how it all began for two hours.It was midnight, and Claire was yawning with fatigue. “I've gotta go to bed now, Blake." she said, getting up to leave.“Goodnight, babe."Claire felt flustered as she hurriedly left, not wanting Blake to see her flushed face.---Claire got to

    I had to get up pretty early to prepare for school today. Darren managed to convince me to go. I wonder how Claire has been doing.It gladdens me a bit that she might be the one I've been looking for, but it saddens me that she might be in much more danger than I expected.Claire, from what I've observed so far at Riverdale High, is hated. She doesn't realize it; even her best friends, I doubt them. I've had a hard time trusting people during my time in the pack as an Alpha.I got dressed up and put on my LV cardigan, feeling a bit under the weather.I wasn't much surprised at the usual noise so early in the morning.Claire's name, as usual, was always being mentioned. I wonder why Claire is always the subject of gossip.I needed to take a nap, so I placed my head on the desk. My eyes snapped open at hearing something."Helena." I called out, never thinking I'd talk to this girl in a million years."Yes, Lucas?" she answered, her eyes twinkling with amusement."What did you just say?"

    The next morning, I knew I had work ahead. I woke up around 5, 5:30am, it'll be a hectic day.I planned out my day and everything I'm expected to be involved in today. I dressed up and got in my car to school.I resumed my usual seat in class. Claire's and I project will be held later today, after recess.I put on my noise cancelling headphones, I needed maximum concentration on my final notes.Going to the library makes me so sleepy, so I couldn't go there.I was at it for a while, I enjoy history more than I like to admit. I used my opportunity in learning more about Luna.Her likes have gone down in the history books with the same characteristics but I haven't read of any of them who acts like Claire.I take it as she has not realized her potential yet.In the middle of my research, my headphones got pulled off. I was so ready to give the person a befitting thrashing.“Follow me. Now!" Lun-, I mean Claire commanded.I think I'm getting used to calling her Luna because I call her wh

    I came into the class awaiting Claire, I had to talk to her even if it meant I had to pull her away from her jerk boyfriend.“Claire." I called out.She glanced back before she was pulled away by Blake. That idiot.As the final bell rang, I caught up with her at her locker. "Claire, can we talk for a minute?"She hesitated, looking around nervously. "What is it, Lucas?"She sighed, clearly conflicted. "Look Lucas, I don't wanna talk to you right now.""Please let me explain, Claire. " I urged, my voice earnest.After a long pause, she finally nodded. "Okay. Meet me at the park after school. We can talk there.""Alright." I agreed, feeling a mix of anticipation and dread. The day dragged on until it was finally time to meet Claire. I headed to the park, my mind racing with questions and possibilities. When I arrived, Claire was already there, sitting on a bench and looking lost in thought."Hey." I said, sitting down beside her. "Sorry I kept you waiting.”"What do you want? I need to

    I quickly whipped up some ice cream and served it in tiny dessert plates, arranging them neatly on the dining table. "Ta-da! Dessert is ready," I announced.They both quietly came over and took a seat."You guys, dessert on the dining table? That doesn't sound fun. Let's continue our game in the living room."So, they quietly took their dessert plates and went to sit on the floor again. They were both still shook from my words."Um, Claire, why don't we watch a movie now to sign off the game?" Lucas suggested."Oh, that's a good idea, Luke," Darren agreed.We decided to watch a rom-com movie. Darren sat next to me on my left, and Lucas sat next to me on my right. As the movie began, the room quickly filled with laughter and smiles, the comedy lifting everyone's spirits."I wish this dude could just see what this girl is trying to say," Lucas muttered, frustrated at the male lead who kept fumbling in getting the girl.""Yeah, he's so clueless," Darren added, chuckling.I glanced at bo

    My day started off pretty late. I slept in a bit today. I wasn't feeling too well to go to school, and I still had to go see Blake later today. I wondered what his text message was about.I stood from the bed and took my phone from the nightstand. There was a message notification from both Blake and Lucas.Lucas: Good morning, Claire. Darren says hi to you too. Hope you slept well. Have a great day ahead!I smiled a bit at his gesture.Blake: Good morning to the lady that rules my heart. I might have come out a bit rude last night. I'm sorry, love. Tell me when you'll be free to talk.“Aww, Blake's the sweetest,” I said to myself, my heart fluttering as I held my hand to my chest.I felt a mix of emotions, happiness from Lucas's sweet message and warmth from Blake's words. But I couldn't ignore the underlying tension I felt about seeing Blake later. What did he want to talk about?I decided to reply to both messages. To Lucas: Good morning, Lucas! Thank you for the sweet message. Can

    I was sitting in my wheelchair, fidgeting with the rod in my hand, in this hollow cave that echoed every single movement. This cave somehow represented my life, hollow and full of darkness and hatred. The men in front of me, huge and muscular, were shivering in their pants. That was nowhere near the least of the power I held."What have you found?" I asked, my voice dripping with authority. They shrivelled under its weight."Ma... Ma'am, we haven't found any yet. We're still searching," the five-foot-tall man in front of me said."Stone!" I called out to my right-hand man.He leaned down to my ear beside me."Find it for me as soon as possible," I commanded, my face betraying no emotion."Yes, ma'am! Affirmative," he replied loudly, commanding the men out.I sat there for a while, waiting for Stone to come back. I caught a glance of myself in the reflection of a puddle of water on the floor.I looked so pale, with dark, hollow eye bags. My skin was dry and flaky, as if I hadn't eaten

    "Uhm.., Claire. Why do you keep zoning out?" Lucas asked, lowering his face to hers, which was staring down at the sheets.Claire shot her head up but unfortunately collided with Lucas's. He clutched his nose, groaning in pain.Claire hurriedly pulled out tissues from the first aid box and pressed them into his nose.“Oh my! You're bleeding! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!" she shrieked, holding his face, freaking out while Lucas just sat there, watching her turn into a nervous wreck.At some point, Lucas began smiling. Claire noticed and crossed her arms.“Is it so funny that you're bleeding?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.Lucas waved her off. “No, it's just that you look funny being nervous," he said, smiling.She hit his arm playfully. “You're an idiot," she retorted, but there was a hint of a smile on her lips too.She wiped away most of the blood, but it kept gushing out. She attempted to stand up, but her body was still fatigued."Claire... Claire... Relax and let me treat your wou

    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.

    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

    “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

    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

    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
