Clara“Luna, you had already drunk a whole bottle of wine and now you’ve asked for whiskey. You’re definitely going to end up drunk,” Donna kept on reprimanding yet she was continuously pouring my glass with it.“Just join me, Donna.” I handed her another glass, but just like what she had done before, she declined.“You shouldn’t drink too much, Luna. You might wake up tomorrow with the worst headache.”She placed the bottle of whiskey that was halved back down the table in front of us.“So what?” I shrugged. “That’s fine, Donna. I’ll just have painkillers. But what was important tonight was that we have fun!” I rose from my seat, raising my right hand, which was holding the glass.“After going through the worst punishment Samuel could ever give, I need this,” I murmured before looking back at her. “On top of that, I found out that it was all part of their plan to save his ass from doing what he promised, which they called a disgrace to his name!”“It’s really unfair, Luna. I know—”“
ClaraThis morning was the worst. What Donna had warned me last night had come to life and I was in extreme pain with my headache.My sluggish body was rolling back and forth through the soft mattress as I pinned my face into a pillow. Donna kept on reprimanding me about this again and again and I’m just tired of hearing it.Remembering what happened last night only made my day more irritable. I could have enjoyed everything last night if only Samuel didn’t come in. He basically just did the same thing Donna was doing; scolding me unstoppably.I drank the painkiller she had given and yet the same pain was still present. Groaning, I placed my fingers to massage over my temples when a knock came in.My eyes were shut as I rested my head on the bed’s headboard. But Donna’s arguing voice didn’t get away from my ears.“What is it, Donna?” I asked, keeping my eyes closed as I continued to massage my head.“Maya is insisting on entering, Luna. It seems like she has forgotten what she did jus
Clara“Do you know that this plant is poisonous?” I asked as I carefully examined her restless expression.The Omega quickly panicked. “W-what, Luna?”“This plant is poisonous,” I repeated, but this time I made sure it was a clear statement for her to understand.She wiped the sweat on her forehead and walked a few steps back and forth while her breathing turned rapid.“What is happening here?” I almost jumped in surprise hearing Samuel’s firm voice echoing just behind me.Looking back, I said, “Someone’s poisoning Caleb.”I saw how his brows clashed in the middle. “What are you saying?” he scorns, turning to face the Pack doctor.“Check on whatever this nonsense she was saying—”“His room was filled with this poisonous plant and all the windows were shut. Whoever was behind this wanted to make sure the poison would kill him very soon.”Silence filled the room as Samuel stared at me as if he was peering into my soul to know if I was playing with him or not.“If you don’t want to belie
Clara“So please, tell us. Who is it?”The Omega licked her bottom lip before opening it to finally say the name. I waited to hear something from her, but before she could successfully utter a word, blood instead spilled out of her mouth.She lost consciousness and her body fell right into my arms. I tapped her back to wake her up, but there was no response.My heart raced as a thought entered my mind.Carter had helped me get her body up. Holding onto her shoulders, he pinned her back against the wall behind.“Hold her. I’ll check her breathing,” I instructed Carter which he quickly attended to.My hands began to tremble as I lifted my right hand and placed it on her chest. I was just hoping for the best that I could be able to feel her breathing because she couldn’t die.She’s the only one capable of pointing out the culprit.But as my palm lay flat over her chest, I didn’t even have to check it twice. There was no heartbeat anymore.“She’s dead,” I mumbled.My both shoulders slumpe
SamuelI wouldn’t want to admit it but my mind was blown away to hear Clara asking me to leave. I already did what she wanted and made the Pack doctor leave but she doesn’t seem to be satisfied.She appeared to forget whom she was talking to with the tone of her voice.“Do you want Caleb to be saved or not?”Her question sounded like nothing but a threat. And I could have snarled at her face for asking too many things from her Alpha, but I needed Caleb to be cured as soon as possible. I’ve got to let this pass in order to save Caleb.“The answer is yours, Alpha,” she even added with a jeer.I cleared my throat and warned her, “Don’t do anything stupid, and do everything to save him.”Before I could shut the door, Clara tilted her head and waved me a playful goodbye. My jaw clenches with how annoying she is before I bang the door shut.“That woman had turned clever out of the blue,” I muttered to myself as I leaned by the door I had just closed.I should have already left a couple of m
ClaraMy eyes were locked, staring at nowhere as I carefully listened to every word Samuel and Carter utter from outside the cabin.Regardless of not having a wolf, I still have werewolf blood running through my veins. The sharpened senses werewolves have still apply to me although mine wasn’t sharpened.Moreover, it’s not like Samuel and Carter were cautious that somebody might hear them as they were actually talking casually. No one would even bother to listen to them anyways. Being an Alpha took him away from the rest of normal werewolves. Only those higher ranked werewolves had the chance to get close to Samuel.I found myself nodding as I came to realize one thing. All throughout this time, I thought Samuel just doesn’t give a damn about me. But I was wrong because he noticed every bit of change I had.Hearing their conversation only made me torn. Because It looks like it’s not only Samuel who noticed.While I was eavesdropping on the conversation ongoing outside, Donna was keepi
SamuelNothing but pure sickening and nausea was all I could feel with how Clara was suddenly acting. My stomach was churning so bad with her looks and touches.For that brief moment, I realized that I was completely mistaken for thinking she had truly changed. She was still the same old pathetic, crazy, and disgusting Clara who was heads over heels to me.“Fine, tomorrow evening. Now, get out of my fucking way,” I bluntly responded before shoving her out fo my way.I had a lot of important things to attend on and she’s wasting my time with her fucking crazy ideas. Because why the hell would she invite me for dinner?!She may not haven’t yet to accept my rejection, but there’s no way I would change my mind about it.With a smirk stretching into my lips, I continue to walk away from her. Of course I only agreed to her invitation to make Clara stop bothering me. I had no plans on attending such stupid dinner with her at all.I’d rather spend my time alone for the rest of my life than to
ClaraI was up early in the morning and decided to get ready right away. Just when Donna arrived, she was surprised to see me up and ready.“Luna, you’re awake…and ready for the day?” amusement was audible in her voice.Since Omegas had their different headquarters, that is where Donna slept. Although she sometimes stays with me especially if I am sick or I simply need her. She usually doesn’t stay overnight.However, she will leave after I’m asleep and get back next morning before I was even awake. But today’s different.“What’s the matter?” she asked, still puzzled.“You’ll know later, Donna,” I sang and winked at her.She just shrugged in response.I patiently waited until the sun came out before I brought Donna with me as we made our way upstairs to the Pack mansion.“Where are we heading, Luna?” Donna was hesitant to take a step up the stairs.It’s not like I’m not allowed to go upstairs, but mainly because I never usually go up there.Looking back at Donna, I smiled, “I’ll remin
Alice“Luna, news was spreading that Alpha’s condition is getting worse. I heard that Beta Carter had just informed the elder about this, but I think you need to know.”“Are you going to say it or not, Via?! I don’t have forever for this!” “Alpha Samuel is dying.” My brain was like a phone line that had been dropped. Via’s last sentence rang through my ears continuously until it brought me to a realization. “N-no!” “The pack elders were considering Alpha’s first wife to take over the leadership of the pack, Luna. Unfortunately, that’s not you.” So, it’s going to be Clara?“If Samuel knew about this, I know he would entrust me to lead his pack instead of that woman!” “Only if the Luna ring was still in your possession, Luna, you wouldn’t have to worry about any of this,” Via casually murmured. My teeth gritted, my blood began to simmer remembering how Samuel allowed that to happen. The next thing Via knew, her cheek was numb because of my palm that struck her. “You don’t dare t
ClaraFrom the moment my eyes opened until the last second they could stay awake, I was inside the infirmary, keeping an eye on Samuel. The only time I can visit my room is when I will sleep. Samuel’s condition remained the same, although his wound was getting better day by day. While Carter and I led the pack, everyday has been the same—plain and busy. “Luna, the same man Alpha Arthur had sent to talk to you before came back and he still wanted to see you.” It was as if I suddenly ran out of blood. My hands are cold and sweat rolling down my forehead. “W-what?” Carter just nodded. “He’s here.” The next thing I knew Carter walked past me before the double doors creaked open, allowing him to enter. “I couldn’t do it,” I began, sensing his presence just behind me. “I am not a killer and I couldn't just end someone’s life knowing a lot of people depend on him. Samuel is an Alpha, his death would—” “Woah, chill out,” Gino chuckled. “Although I thought we came into a serious agreem
Henry“Alpha, members from the White Hunter pack were gathered by the gates. They are raged, causing a whole lot of mess out—” My Beta was unable to finish his statement when the book that my hand just landed at flew right into his face. “You don’t want me to tell you what to do because you know exactly what I am going to say!” I stood up from my seat, pointing my index finger on him. “Now, leave my office and fix that mess before I tore your face with my fist.” I was already in too much distress after stabbing him and now his goddamn people were making it worse. Only if he didn’t get himself involved with his mate, none of this could have happened. Samuel shouldn’t be stabbed and I wouldn’t have to be hiding myself from Arthur. Since the night I stabbed Samuel, I haven't had the courage to leave my office, scared of how Arthur might react. None of this was part of our plan, but Samuel gave me no choice! We only needed to threaten Clara that night—to push her to work for us, but
ClaraRight after Gino exited the infirmary, endless thoughts had been going into my mind. His words were imprinted into my mind deep and vivid. “You’re unbelievable! Is saving this man really worth it?”“You are nothing to him so why bother risking your life for him?”“At least choose yourself this time.”His voice was like a poison tainting my brain, evil and dark. Although I knew what he was trying to do—Arthur must have told him everything, I still couldn't get off the thought that he somewhat made a sense out of it. The door creaked open, but I didn't have the means to even look back and see who it was until Carter spoke. “How did it go talking to him, Luna? Did he say anything?” Placing another two bags of blood by the steel table, Carter looked back at me upon hearing no response from me. “Are you okay?” Blinking once, I immediately nodded. I walked past him, ignoring his prying eyes and went to where he placed the blood bags. Through my peripheral vision, I saw how worr
ClaraI was heavily panting from rushing when I successfully exited the Moonlit pack. Going to where we agreed to meet, a sigh of relief left my lips upon seeing Carter’s silhouette. “How did it go, Luna?” “Well,” I simply answer, flashing a big smile on my face.After making our way back to the packhouse, I went straight back to the infirmary. Alice was gone, but the guards remained on their places. As soon as they saw me approaching, they made their way out of the double doors, allowing me to enter. Samuel was still the way I left him—unconscious. He’s still showing no sign of possible life, and the only noticeable difference is the fact he's turning paler. Two bags of blood were placed on top of the steel table beside the bed where Samuel was lying. After the blood transfusion, I went on to check on his wound which I was a little glad to be healing more quickly than I thought. He’s an Alpha after all, his wolf must be helping him really hard. It just so happens, nothing seems
ClaraThree guards were struggling to keep Alice’s distance from the double doors of the infirmary because of the way she was insisting. Her shrill voice caught everyone’s attention and the look of pity along with irritation were thrown at her. “You can’t stop me from seeing Samuel! He needs me!” Alice shouted as soon as seeing me. “Why? Are you a doctor or something?” I chuckled.“Are you?!” Alice questioned me back. “You can’t possibly consider yourself a doctor just because you believe you are!” “I don’t take a word from a woman who knows nothing but to steal money from the pack for her whims.”The hallway was shortly filled with murmuring voices from the Omegas and other pack members that were obviously after the gossip. “N-no,” Alice bitterly chuckled in disbelief with my words. “Take that back, Clara! You know that’s not true!” “I know what’s true,” I sneeringly intertwined. Just seeing Alice’s face becomes filled with shame as her gaze lowered before her breathing turned

Clara“You’re not my daughter.” The same words from my father echoed through my ears continuously. There were no words that got out of my parted lips while hot drops of tears unendingly streamed down my cheeks. I was suddenly oblivious to the reason for my tears. Is it to know I’ll die right here, right now. Or knowing the father I’d known since I grew up wasn’t actually my father? “N-no,” I mumbled, aggressively wiping my tears off my face. “You’re lying.” I was shaking my head rigorously. “You just—” “Which part of it you don’t get, huh?!” Leaping our distance, I felt his rough hands clasping my both wrists. “Is it the fact you’re going to die tonight or the fact that you’re adopted and probably an Omega’s child?” he snickered. “You’ve got to help me,” I whispered, looking at him through my blurry vision, hoping I’ll be able to change his mind. After all, he still raised me. He must have even just an ounce of love for me. “I’ve got to help my Alpha, Clara.” I shrieked when he
Samuel“Alpha can’t see you right now. He’s busy dealing with a lot of matters.” “It will be very quick, Beta, please.” Whatever commotion happening right outside my office has been going on for a while now. I had no idea who Carter was talking to, but I strictly ordered him not to let anyone in until I said so. After what happened, I don't even have the deep need to to see Alice. What more in dealing with other people? Letting myself drown with the pack’s work is the only thing I am yearning for. “No, you have to leave now. For the meantime, just keep whatever it is that you need to tell Alpha and come back some other day,” Carter’s voice was pleading as if he was truly running out exhausted talking to the woman. “Please, Beta—” “Just not now, Donna,” Carter sighed. Getting my eyes off the pile of papers before me, they landed right to where the door was. Donna. Clara’s Omega. I stood up from my swivel chair, making my way towards the door to settle whatever was happening ou
