Clara“Calm the hell down, Henry! Sit back!”Henry was left with no choice but to abide by Arthur’s firm command. He furiously dragged himself down to his seat, still glaring at Samuel. A hot and intense tension was starting to build.Samuel and I think that it was not only Esther but rather Henry knew about what Esther did. It’s just impossible for Esther to have the courage to do such a vicious thing without any support from anyone. She will be dethroned as the Red Claw pack’s Luna if ever she is caught. But because she has Henry on her side, she’s gone confident and too complacent.We suspect that it might not be Henry’s desire to kill Grandma, but the fact he did nothing to stop his Luna’s plan also made him the culprit. Perhaps that’s why Henry must be anxious that their compliance; the pack doctor, was starting to be consumed by fear, and at some point, sooner or later, he will eventually fold and snitch on them.“So, are you sure you don’t want to say anything?” Samuel added
ClaraSamuel made his point. I should stop meddling in other people’s problems. So what if Esther will face the consequences of what she did alone? So what if Henry chose to save himself rather than choosing his love for Esther?But I couldn’t help but think that Samuel for sure felt something was off.I am well aware that Samuel did everything to point out the culprit only to ensure Grandma’s safety. And now, that she’s slowly gaining back her strength, Samuel was the first to celebrate it with her.Sitting on a beige recliner chair, Grandma had her widest smile of all while her Omega fixed her hair into a bun. Holding onto her hand, Samuel kissed the back of her palm with a warm smile flashed on his face.It was as if whenever he was in front of his grandmother, Samuel shifted into a very different person—A very far from who he usually is.No frown lines on his forehead, his lips were stretched into a beam and lastly the darkness of his face was replaced by the brightest glee.He wa
SamuelI may not want to admit it but I felt a tinge of guilt seeing Clara turning to me for an answer. I’ve got no courage to look back at her so I chose to just make an alibi to put an end to the conversation.Perhaps because I witnessed how Clara was ready to cover me up by acting along with me in front of Grandma, while I couldn’t even tell her the truth about something she should know.The Luna ring Grandma gave was with Alice. She was my pack’s Luna and not Clara so I believe Alice deserved it more than Clara does. Regardless of being my first Luna and mate, I never assume her to be one.Clara was nothing but a tool for my successful revenge towards her father and I still consider myself kind after introducing her as my Luna to my family instead of Alice.Being alone inside our room, waiting for Clara, I was glad when the door pushed open, allowing her to step in.“Let’s go?” she began, running her palm against her face.“What took you so long?” I irritatedly asked, leaving my s
ClaraI was biting the inner of my cheek as I watched Samuel take his exit, leaving me feeling an unimaginable amount of shame loading my chest.Samuel built a wall so high and strong against everyone. And I know I should have accepted it a long time ago now that whatever I do, I just wouldn’t be able to enter it or his life as it is.Moreover, I was nothing to him but a thing he could use for the revenge he was dying for.Wrapping my mind on the fact that regardless of how long I stood and stared into a deep nowhere, nothing would change; I made up my mind to leave and follow Samuel outside. We were above all going to leave and get back to our pack.Strolling for a couple of minutes, I am frustratingly disappointed not to spot Samuel anywhere. But I still kept on wandering until I crossed upon Grandma’s Omega.An obvious frown was written on her face as she stepped closer to me.“Did you see Samuel?” I questioned before she could speak.“Uh, he already left, Luna Clara.”My jaw dropp
Samuel I don’t know what’s gotten inside Clara’s head that she is starting to act like a complete bitch. “Fine!” I said, out of irritation. I watched Alice’s eyes ball out with shock written all over her face upon hearing my words. Shaking her head in denial with what she heard, a bitter chuckle got out of her lips. “No, no, Samuel.” Alice mumbled, hiding her right hand behind her. My jaw clenched seeing Clara grinning from ear to ear, shifting her gaze from me back to Alice. Firmly shutting my eyes, I let out a deep sigh. “Samuel,” Alice’s alluring voice made my pulse palpitate with more frustration. Her voice was trembling before I felt her soft caress on my right arm. “Just give the Luna ring to Clara,” I spat, keeping my eyes shut, not wanting to witness the dejection on her pretty face as I knew I wouldn’t be able to stand it. Even though I badly wanted her to keep it because in my eyes, Alice will forever be my and my pack’s Luna. But I never foresee Clara doing these t
ClaraI am not stupid nor blind not to see how it was Alice who ordered this to harass and put Donna in this shame. I know her, she would never stop until she gets what she wants: that is to gobble up my remaining patience towards her. “You didn’t, did you?” I added, seeing Samuel having no intention of answering my previous question. “He ordered this! Stop making excuses, Clara, will you?” Not minding Alice, I stepped sideward, intently facing Samuel. His eyes were locked with me, but there was no emotion written on his face. Gulping once, Samuel only nodded. “Will it matter whose order is it? Just get this done and if it turns out, you’re not sleeping with her, then you’re free to go.” Violently sighing, my fist clenched. Alice was hiding a smirk on her lips as she looked down on me boastfully. “Maya, bring that Omega inside the infirmary so that the pack doctor can begin—” “No one touches Donna!” I bursted out. Even though she was still held by Maya and Via, I made sure I st
ClaraIt is absurd for Samuel to think I would literally have my claws out and hurt his beloved. I don’t even have my wolf in the first place, how come to have my claws scratch his fragile Luna. A drop of tear freely rolled down my eye from the pain I am enduring. Samuel stepped forth, leaving me no other choice but to step backwards. My body winced as I felt my back pang against the cold hard wall behind. “Dare to hurt Alice again. Let’s see how brave you can get.” Struggling to inhale oxygen, my both hands automatically made their way to hold Samuel’s arm. I squeezed and smashed onto him, trying to let him know that I might pass out any second by now. “This is going to be your last fucking warning, Clara.”A single drop of tear that fell from my eye was then followed by another set of hot tears. “Do you get it?!” With the instinct to live, I hastily nodded. And that’s only when Samuel let go of me. His grip was so strong that I failed to feel my jaw right after. I was unable
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
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
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
