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
ClaraThe night had already set so deep, yet here I am staring right into my awful reflection through the mirror I badly wanted to crush in frustration. The same reason that made another night for me so gloomy.Tracing down the horrible scar on my left cheek that made my life a living hell, I failed to notice tears strolling down my eyes.If only I didn’t have this scar. If only I had the means to make it disappear, just like what I’ve thought, then maybe I would have a chance to stand against Alice. But being wolfless only means being the weakest among the weak.My shoulder jolted in shock as the door of my room wildly pushed open, creating a loud banging noise. I left the mirror to see what it was, but I froze on the spot when I saw Samuel standing right after the door.Seeing him with his tousled hair and dressed in crumpled clothes, I frowned. Regardless of his hollow cheeks, thick brows, and his chiseled jawline that made his features sculpted with perfection, the Samuel in front
ClaraI did it myself. The scar on my face that had brought me misfortunes was my own doing. Hence I actually couldn’t even blame myself for it. Because as far as I knew, having a perfectly beautiful face was never a blessing as well.Given that I was our Pack’s Beta’s daughter, that didn’t save me from being maltreated as a teenager mainly because of my awful scar. But as I grew up, finding out I was wolfless made the bullying worse.Hence, my mate, Samuel was once my saviour.At the age of sixteen, after realizing I’m wolfless with almost every Pack member knowing about it, everyone almost sees me as a threat. Some even believed I was some curse they needed to crush before I brought misfortune to them.The first time I came across Samuel that day in our region’s werewolf academy was still imprinted onto my mind very vividly.Being seen as a misfortune bringer, I’m always all by myself with no friends at all. And although I was getting used to being bullied every single day, that da
SamuelIf I only knew attending my brother’s Pack’s event would bring me to my mate, I wouldn’t ever show up. But it was too important for my oldest brother, Arthur, that he needed us complete here.As the Alpha of our region, he’s way responsible and has much responsibility in growing the Pack and this is one of them.The event was yet to begin when my wolf started to act out of the blue. He was suddenly full of joy and excitement I knew we had never felt before, even with my girlfriend, Alice.“Mate! Mate!” and when he began yelling those words, I groaned in annoyance.I had already wished not to meet her for my whole life to the Moon Goddess, but it looked like my prayers were in vain.“No, we’re not going to look for her,” I firmly talked to my wolf, sipping a glass full of champagne.“But that’s our mate!” My jaw tightens, placing the glass down to the table.“We already have Alice,” I kept my words short as I knew my wolf had already had the knowledge that I was going to marry
ClaraGlee and excitement weren’t the exact words I could describe at how fantastic I was feeling. Being accepted as his mate has been my only prayer to the Moon Goddess, and now that it is happening, it still feels so surreal.I am yet to process Samuel’s acceptance of me as his mate, but I trust him too much for me to agree to be married to him. After all, this is where all of this would be heading.After packing up a few things, I headed out of my room. My father was talking to Samuel, seated on the chairs on our dining table.Being married to Samuel as an Alpha also means responsibilities for me as his Luna, however, I didn’t even think of any of that by any chance.With or without his title as an Alpha, I will always choose to be with him. I stood, not far away from them, with a smile, hearing Samuel assure my father of his love and my safety.“I can’t believe everything happened so quickly,” my father chuckled, caressing my left shoulder. “If you ever came up with a problem th

Samuel“Search every corner and whatever you might find should be brought to me!” I shouted as soon as the door pushed open.I, with a couple of other warriors, barged into the pack doctor’s room. It was in the middle of the night, but I didn’t mind.I mean every word I tell Clara that I will take care of this. Not because of her, but because in the very first place, this is our family’s mess I should fix and Clara’s not part of our family.The warriors quickly attended to my command and went through every corner of the cabin. The pack doctor rose from his bed, confused and shocked at the same time.He had no idea what to do first: stop the warriors from searching or come to confront me. But the latter part is what he ended up doing.“What is this, Alpha?”“This is just to check on you, doctor,” I playfully sang, smirking at him which he returned with a forced and fake anxious smile.“Don’t worry, this is harmless,” I added, assuring him with a nod.His eyes were restless, keeping an
ClaraGiven the current situation, I don’t need to think twice because I knew Samuel wouldn’t believe me if I denied it, hence, I still did, “I didn’t push her. I would never hurt her, believe me.”For some reason, the sudden urge to protect myself rose. I had no idea where it was coming from but it was strong enough to make me sound as if I was begging for Samuel to believe me. Regardless, the fact that he didn’t actually say anything nor do anything, but his eyes were like a torment to my pounding heart.I don’t care what everyone around me thinks, but today seems a little bit different. I wanted Samuel to believe me even though everyone would be against me.“You’re a liar! What do you mean you would never hurt me? Just look at what you did!” Esther grumbled.“You did that to yourself!” I yelled back at her.Esther scoffed, “Look at how desperate you are to save your ass that you will make up silly reasons.”“Honestly, I don’t know if you’ve gone crazy or you’re just born this way,”
Clara“That’s impossible! I wouldn’t do things like that!”Although Grandma herself made it clear that it was only Esther, the pack doctor, or both of them, Esther still firmly stuck to her words and denied it.“You know how much I’ve done for you. I was always here by your side while you just met Clara and you’re already favoring her over me?” her voice cracked with her eyes getting wet.My face crumpled. Regardless of determining whether she’s faking this or not, she’s being overly dramatic.Esther sniffled as she wrapped her arms around her body as if she’d been abused. “You don’t know Clara’s whole character, Grandma. Please don’t do this to me.”The whole room was filled with deafening silence which only made Esther look stupid with her own drama. As if she felt the humiliation running through her veins, she stepped up to reach Grandma.Wiping the tears that were nowhere to be found on her cheeks, she knelt down by the bed and stuck her hands out.But Grandma tilted her body away
ClaraKnowing what I was being accused of was absurd, I squatted down to get a couple of medicines scattered on the floor.I know exactly what medications I gave and I am certain the ones on my palm right now aren’t one of them. The pack doctor said he examined it and found out that it was instead poison. However, this is not what I gave.“You’ve got to believe me, Alpha.”Looking back up, I found Samuel already peering at me. His breathing was heavy and rapid; his nose flared with anger he was still suppressing. I know him. If he would burst out right now, right here, he is capable of doing worse than this.But he is holding back because his Grandma’s still inside the room.“Let me explain. First of all, this isn’t the medicine I gave. This isn’t mine, Samuel—”“Don’t believe her, Alpha.”My brows shot up, shifting my glare to the pack doctor who was standing, almost hiding behind Samuel.“The servant can prove it.” I hastily showed the medicines to the Omega. “You know this isn’t th
ClaraAlthough I wouldn’t say no to coming with him to check on his grandmother, Samuel still held me and tugged at me as if I was going to run from him anytime soon. He was in a rush with pure worry and fear written on his face.I don’t need to ask why as it is already obvious that he only has his grandmother when his parents weren’t there for him. That’s why he had this deep connection with his grandmother.Just as we arrived back at the Moonlit Pack with Carter, Samuel’s hand remained firmly attached to my wrist. I tried complaining about how tight his grip was but as usual, I was ignored.“You should get back and be in charge of the Pack in the meantime. We might stay here for a little longer this time.”Carter immediately nodded in agreement to Samuel’s command. He bowed his head once and turned his back to leave. But before Carter could take a step away, Samuel called him once again.“Do tell Alice about this. I was in a rush that I didn’t say goodbye to her,” he lowly added and
