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
ClaraAll I could do was gulp because of my throat that was running dry.I knew I was already fucked up. Samuel was raging in anger because who wouldn’t? He was played and fooled by none other than someone like me. No one would take this easy especially given his huge and unreachable ego and pride.While I was helplessly on the ground, I was forced to gather myself at least just to sit down. I was crawling with the intention to keep myself as far from Samuel as possible.But it was already too late to flee because Samuel had already squatted down in front of me. He yanked my wrist back to where I was just a minute ago.He wasn’t satisfied until I was close enough for me to feel his heavy breathing on my nose.“You wanted to play with me?! Play with my feelings as if you are someone significant in my life?!” I couldn’t even utter a word. All of my courage had backed down seeing him this mad.Shutting my eyes, my both shoulders vibrated with Samuel’s rough and deafening shout.“Answer
ClaraWe were both taken back, unable to think straight on what would be the best thing to do given the awkward situation.I was looking up at Samuel while he just stared back at me in return. No one bothers to break the deafening silence or even just move a muscle. Until a voice appeared from the door.“Alpha?”Samuel was brought back to reality because of the man’s voice calling for him. He grabbed the towel that was on the floor and wrapped it back onto his waist.“What? What is it?” He attended to the man outside without even thinking of helping me.I helped myself up, hissing with my aching feet and legs. Limping, I slowly made my way out.The guard was definitely surprised to see me walking out from the inside while I limped.“That hurts,” I groaned.“Hey,” Samuel called, flicking his finger onto the guard whose eyes were locked with mine. “What is it?”“Alpha, the Luna Queen is wishing to see you.” He handed him something.I was in an unimaginable amount of pain to even give a
ClaraWhile Samuel decided to stay with his grandmother, I, on the other hand, started to roam around the Pack mansion. I am on my way to my father’s room as Samuel gave what he promised.We had a house outside the Pack mansion but as far as I know after I left him alone here, he had stayed with the Packhouse, too. He was the Alpha’s Beta after all. So he had his place here.I could still remember the day I left. The way he told me he won’t be staying in our home for too long because he might just miss me even more.This would be the first time to see him after I moved into the White Hunter Pack after getting married to Samuel.Excitement wasn’t enough to describe how ecstatic I was feeling.Just when I was about to knock onto the door, it already pulled open and my father stepped out of it. I welcomed him with a warm hug which he returned, caressing my back.“Alpha Arthur was right, you really are coming.”I smiled as I heard the glee with his deep voice.“Yes, Father, Samuel had vis
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
ClaraI already did everything I could on my part to push Samuel not to make the wrong decision in favoring Alice once again. But when he decided not to let me interfere with it anymore in return that he will do the same, I knew I had just accepted it. I won’t even have any reason to go against it anymore. Though I failed to prove that Alice was the big mind behind all of that money embezzling her two Omegas did, my instincts will remain the same. No Omega would have the courage to do such things without any bigger person backing them up. It’s just so unfortunate that I couldn't find more tangible proof to support my claim. Knowing how unjust Samuel can get just to protect his Luna, all of my hunch will only sound like I am tarnishing Alice’s name in Samuel's ears. He would never have believed me in the first place if his Beta, Carter, didn't find the receipts and checks. “Luna?” Donna’s voice echoed behind the door. Sitting upright by the mattress, I answered, “Come on in.” Don
Alice“Oh, yes, I do have a say in this!” Clara shrieked, her face fuming in anger. “Punish that Omega, whether your wicked Luna agreed or not.” Samuel will fold for me, every single time, and that is something I shouldn’t doubt. If it weren’t for Clara, I could have already made my way out of this mess. But just as how she always brings me nothing but trouble, here she is, consuming my remaining patience with her. However, I must admit that she surprised the hell out of me. When she got the Luna ring from me, I’d never thought she'd use it and actually go deeper—deep, to the point where she finds out about all these. “This is my decision, Clara and it won’t matter if you’ve got the Luna ring now. You can never go against me—your Alpha!” My embrace to Samuel from behind went tighter as I peeked through Clara from behind him. I was mockingly smiling at her while I watched her nose flare in irritation. She turned ahead of me and faced Samuel. Sometimes, Clara got me wondering wher
SamuelI watched Alice’s face turn pale, her lips quivering and her eyes too afraid to even stick with my stare. “Do you have an idea of what you have done—” “I didn’t do it,” she shakily inhaled. “I had no idea about what Maya nor Via did. Believe me, Samuel.” Her hands clutched the edge of my shirt, making me as weak as I could ever be. My grasp on her shoulders then loosened. Hence before my hands fully slid off, Alice held me tight as she leaned in closer to me. “You’ve got to believe me, Samuel. I could never do these things to your pack—to our pack!” Cupping my cheeks with her cold and shaky hands, I even felt more guilty to know how easier it was for me to believe Clara and go against Alice. But could I really blame myself? Everything was pointing out on her, and that is something I have no control over. “Of course, you cannot ever do such things,” Clara laughingly chimed in. “No criminal admits to their doings.” I couldn’t deny that Clara made a point, so moving my face
SamuelI was staring dumbfoundedly at Clara waiting for her response. My mind was in a deep haze that I failed to get a clear understanding of what this happening is all about. Alice remained kneeling on the floor, crying so bad. While Clara was sneeringly watching Alice beg for forgiveness, I tried to understand what Clara just said, but none of that makes sense. She’s accusing my Luna of embezzling money from the pack! And that is not something that is easy to absorb. “Answer me,” I demanded, my teeth gritting in frustration. “Why do you think she is kneeling in front of you, crying, and asking you to just puni—” “Just give me a damn straight answer!” I cut Clara off. Clara inhaled a deep breath, crossing her arms. “Well, then, you heard me right, Alpha, your Luna, Alice has been stealing money from the pack for a while now.” I knew that I asked her, and she just gave me a simple answer. But getting that answer from Clara only made me believe one thing. “How dare you tarnish
Clara“Samuel will sue you for this. He wouldn’t let you step on me, Clara,” Alice continuously murmurs, her voice low yet sharp. It was like she was only convincing herself that Samuel would once again save her, just what he always did. But deep within her, she knew so well that Samuel wouldn't. His love for the pack should be bigger than his love towards his vile Luna. “We’ll see about that,” that’s what I only said in response, not having the energy to argue with her anymore. I was about to walk past Alice when her hand collided against my wrist. It was too late for me to move away as her tight clasp was already on my wrist. “It’s too late for you, Alice. You cannot do anything to save yourself this time. Samuel won’t buy your fake tears anymore.” Giving me a forced smile, Alice simply shrugged beforeI felt a stinging pain on my right cheek. I was yet to recover from the shock of her slap when Alice hit me again. The loud and sharp noise her palm created while it lay flat on
ClaraI patiently stroll back and forth, tapping my fingers against each other. A small hum came out of my lips before they stretched into a broad smile upon hearing the door creaking open. “Luna, the head of the Omegas that you wanted to see was here.” Turning to face a warrior behind me, I motioned him to bring her inside. Being held by two other warriors while she tried to flee made my chest heat with anger. “I said let me go!” Maya screamed, struggling to find her way out of the warrior’s tight grip.“It’s alright, you can let her go,” upon only my order, the warriors had let her wrist go. So this is what it feels like to possess power. It was as if their lives depended on me and my words were obeyed in a snap. Not even a single plea was needed. “What do you need?” Maya scoffed, scanning her sharp eyes from my head to toe. “Do you really think you are someone important to do this? You cannot summon—” Only a single step was taken before my hardened palm struck her cheek disall
AliceThe second I heard the door shut, I opened my eyes small, peeking if Carter’s still around. Confirming that he had indeed left, I fully opened my eyes. I gathered myself up and removed the tight bandage wrapped around my wrist.I threw it away seeing the wound healed. It is not that deep for it not to heal fast, and would I even hurt myself that bad? My perfect skin couldn’t have its imperfections just because of that rubbish Clara. A smile plastered on my face, staring at my wrist. I was lucky that I bled enough. Titling my body, I was about to leave the mattress when I overheard footsteps approaching. I stayed in my place, waiting for the door to open, but it did not. Convinced that it is not Samuel, I then stood up, walking towards the walk in closet. I need to change my clothes because of the stains of my own blood on it.Does Clara really think she will have a chance to stand against me? Her head got extremely big just because Samuel brought her to the Moonlit pack, litt
