By the time Clara and her friend reached home, the sun had already disappeared below the horizon.
They slumped down on the sofa, tired. All they wanted was to have a nice bath and then climb into their warm beds and drift off to Dreamland.
But that wish was interrupted by a knock on the door.
Startled by the knock, Clara craned her neck only to see her two friends already dozing off on the sofa.
Groaning tiredly, Clara walked to the door, peeked from the tiny hole before turning the door knob and opening the door to see a delivery guy standing at the door holding flowers, lilies to be precise.
Clara narrowed her eyes to look at the man who was standing in f
Her eyes narrowed, ready to question her friends about the flowers, but then her mind recollected yesterday's event including the delivery man who was standing with lilies on their doorstep as well as the sender. "How did he even find her home address?" she asked herself. Very sure she hadn't said anything about where she lived to him. She bit her lower lips in distaste, she hated being stalked by anyone for any reason. She decided to draw the line and let him know that she wasn't interested in him even though he was good looking and almost identical to the man in her dreams. "Buzz buzz" her phone vibrated in her pant pocket, but Clara was too lost in thought to notice. "Hey pick up the phone" Gina said, nud
Gina had just finished applying light makeup on Clara's face, she didn't have to put too much effort as Clara herself is a beauty. "Now go get changed into something nice" Gina said, shooing Clara away into her room to go get dressed. Rolling her eyes at Gina's words,Clara walked into her room, and straight to her closet. She brought out the simplest outfit she could find as she wasn't dressing to impress anyone, especially not the person named Xander. If Gina hadn't suggested and nagged her to use some light makeup, she would never have applied any. She dressed in a white off shoulder jump-suit with tiny black stripes, pairing it with high heel sandals and a black mini handbag, Letting her dark hair fall below her shoulders and down to her waist. Checking herself in t
On getting into her room, Clara threw her mini handbag on the bed before crouching down to unbuckle her high heel sandals, kicking the shoes off her feet and sending them flying to different Corners in the room. She climbed in bed and pulled the covers over her head. Meanwhile, Xander was driving at full speed, he needed to get home before he would lose total control. He tightened his hands on the steering wheel as his wolf whispered nothing but evil ideas to him. He wanted them to go back and kill Clara for rejecting them. His eyes flashed between blue and yellow as Bardulf tried to take control of Xander. "That slimy bitch had the guts to reject us? Xander scoffed. "And who's fault is it? I told you
Skyler bit the inside of his cheeks, ignoring the pain and the metallic taste of blood that filled his mouth. His eyes were sharp with anger. He wanted nothing but to reap that rogue apart. He gripped the chains harder, almost succeeding in breaking them away from the wall but then he stopped. Breaking the silver chains now would let the rogues know that he isn't as weak as he appeared thereby letting them know that he hasn't been on the silver injections for days now which would in turn put their plans in jeopardy including him and drake's life at risk and he couldn't bear to lose the teenage rogue. He saw Drake as the younger sibling he never had and he had grown to like the rogue very much. Skyler closed his eyes and inhaled deep breaths to soothe his anger before opening them and staring at the empty space. Meanwhile, Xander
They stared at him with a questioning gaze and Lucas wasn't surprised to see that they weren't aware of the latest development because it hadn't been up to fifteen minutes since the council meeting ended and information had not been passed to the park members. "Well, Alpha Pius just stepped down and he declared Xander as the next Alpha and king of werewolves, the ceremony is taking place in two days" he informed them. Lucas watched in silence as their faces changed expressions. Some held the look of surprise while others looked back at him with a confused and questioning gaze. "Why the sudden change?" Asked Leon with a knitted brow. ``Leon is the pack's head of security and Lucas Younger brother. "I guess we all knew this was going to happen, judging from the fact that
Annette vanished. Taking with her the strands of hair. She left Xander all by himself. Xander kick started the car engine and drove off from where he had initially parked the car. His face held a contented smile, he had achieved everything he wanted. All that was left was the ceremony and he couldn't wait. Meanwhile, Liam and Landon have been keeping a close watch on the rogue's movement and also waiting for Drake to come to show up as that was the usual spot where they meet and exchange massages. Thankfully, Drake showed up after some time. Landon quickly relayed the message to him. Drake was surprised and he had questions to ask but he knew now wasn't the time. Standing any longer than a minute would leave the rogues in suspicion and they needed to avoid suspicion. Things were already difficult and not exactly going

After Mira left that place, the people stared at each other in silence, a lot was going through their minds. Most of it was disbelief while others just thought it to be another plot by the witches. "Do you think she is telling the truth?" asked a lady with short brown hair. "Of course not, but I think the witches are up to something". Said another. " This must be another plot. "What for?We are left with no Queen or an heir. What else would they want?". While the conversation was going on, a woman with gray hair stood Elegantly at the corner, her gray eyes sparkled as the moonlight reflected on them. Her both hands rested on the head of the white staff she carried about with herself. She listened to all that was being said without interrupting. she wanted to hear what others thought before she could chip in hers. She listened for so long before finally deciding to make her presence
The Commotion continued and soon A dozen of werewolves barged into the hall with blood on their body Clara was shocked and taken aback by the sudden commotion. But then she raised her head and saw figures clouded in black clothes walking into the hall and muttering spells and her eyes widened.The witches had come to attack on the day for the ceremony. They dae everyone wasn't prepared. Fear gripped Clara as she stared at the damages the witch had caused in only a few minutes. Clara panicked because all her loved ones were here, her friends, mother, some banshee and werewolf from far and near. This was going to be a disaster.Skyler on the other hand was shocked as well. He didn't expect the witches to be so bold as to attack on the day of the ceremony. His instinct kicked in and his first thought was to protect Clara. He quickly grabbed Clara by the arm and wanted to take her out through the back door but the girl was stubborn enough to refuse."No, Skyler. I can't leave. This is my
Clara woke you the next morning and as usual, Skyler was nowhere in bed. Clara climbed out of bed and went to the bathroom to ease herself before making her way to the living room. Clara pushed the door and walked on the short passageway and on reaching the living room, Clara was met with a surprise. The living room was decorated with heart shaped balloons and glitters, photos of her taken unawares were plastered around the room, roses spread everywhere on the floor and on one side of the wall was the world" will you marry me" boldly written on it. Clara's hand flew to her mouth as she stared at the place and just then Skyler walked out from the side and knelt down Infront of her with a small box in his hand. "You have been everything to me. A friend and a mate and I wish to have you as a wife and not just a mate" he said with a smile.Tears clogged Clara's eyes as she stared in front of him. Clara stretched out her hand" I will marry you, Skyler. Yes, I will" she told and skyler put
Clara had forgotten about the world and all its problems, all she saw was Skyler and the love she had for him. They continued to gist about little things. Skyler told her little things about his childhood, his mother and the pack. He told her of the day he shifted for the first time and the kind of pain he had felt then. Clara listened to all of it and in turn, she told him all about her childhood, highschool and friends. Talking about her friends, Raya, Gina and Kyle made Clara realize how much she misses them. Although she remained in touch with them through calls and text, nothing could be compared to their presence. She had known them since first grade and now everyone had gone their separate ways due to their college choices. Clara hoped to reunite with them again and enjoy their presence like before.Skyler could see the longing in Clara's eyes as she talked about her friends. She missed them. Skyler hadn't seen Clara go too close to anyone whether in the pack or in the banshee
Clara woke up to the beautiful daylight, last night she had slept with so much in her mind but waking up this morning, she felt things were a little better. She didn't resent Mira as much as she did yesterday. The lady had helped her in some way and that could be counted as paying off her guilt but still, she wasn't ready to see her or speak with her. Clara decided to let her suffer for just a little bit before she would set things straight between them. Clara yawned and stretched body on the bed but she felt a heavy hand on her waist. She turned around and was met with the sleeping Skyler, he was bare chest and his hair fell over some part of his face. His lips were slightly patted. Clara savored the sight in front of her as there was only a few times when she had woken up before him.As the day went by, Clara found herself falling deeper In love with him. Clara raised her hand and removed the strand of hair from his face and then she traced her fingers along his thin red lips."Have
Clara made her way to the living room where Nimue was waiting for her, by the time she got there only Nimue was seated in the living room and Melanie was gone.Nimue, what is it that you want to discuss with me?." Clara asked, making Nimue turn in her direction."Yes, sit down please," Nimue said. Ankara went to take her seat opposite her and listened attentively.Nimue took out the big brown envelope containing some documents and handed it over to Clara. Clara collected the envelope and stared at it before looking back at Nimue who gave her a Go-Ahead.Clara unsealed the envelope and brought out the documents, at first she didn't understand it until nimue started to explain."They are the deeds of ownership of this Mansion; the mansion belonged to the Shayne's. It was your mother's and now it should be yours. My family is only a caretaker like we have been for centuries" Nimue said.Character that the documents in disbelief" are you sure it's okay to own this?" she asked."Yes it's y
Clara continued being pampered by her mate. Clara had remained in bed for the past three days. Skyler would fix a bath for her and feed her and in the evening time, he would take her for a walk in the pack. Clara had wanted to go to the banshee mansion to deal with some things but Skyler didn't let her out of sight. He would nag Clara for leaving her bed when she was supposed to be sleeping. Clara enjoyed the pampering she was getting but then, she was bored to stay in the quarters all the time. The pack warriors who she helped break their curses also came with their families to show appreciation. Clara was a lot closer to the pack people now. She had also tried to speak with Pius but the man was cold as ever. During the week, Clara visited the welfare center but Skyler didn't let her stay for too long, she just delivered the lunch and gift and they were on their way back to the pack house. By the end of the week, Clara became fed up with the pampering and decided it must stop.Clara
Evening shadows deepened into blue and purple and the sky had turned to molten brass. The atmosphere was lighter as usual since calm has been restored back to the pack again. Skyler sat near his mate and waited for her to wake up, she had been sleeping for hours now. Skyler wondered how exhausted she must have been for these past few days and felt sorry for her as he was one of the reasons he had been stressed to this level. Some walked into the room and saw Skyler sitting next to his mate but Skyler looked tired as well." Alpha" the person called, making skyler turn to look in the direction where the voice came from."Lucas, why are you still here?" Skyler asked."I needed to make sure the warriors are alright," Lucas replied."Is everything alright with them?" Skyler asked."Yes, the doctor had examined them and they're good to go," Lucas told him."That's good to know,I'm relieved" Skyler said with a nod.How is she?" Lucas asked. Skyler turned his head to look at the sleeping Cl
"Alright, we will be waiting for you, we have so much to talk about" Nimue said. The ladies left the room and Clara followed them down to the car and saw them off. She watch Mira who was all curled up in the back and sighed.Soon after Skyler came back dressed in casual clothes and Lucas was trailing behind. He looked handsome as ever but Clara also could see the sadness in his eyes.Wait here, while I go bring the car" Lucas said to them before leaving.How are you holding up?" She asked Skyler who was unusually quiet. He turned to her" I'm trying to hold on as much as I can. I hurt my pack and I hurt you. It's it's.." he let out a sigh. Clara patted his shoulders" calm down, sky. You'd be surprised what ove can do and I know the pack loves you" Clara said to him.Lucas brought the car to the front of the pack house and Clara and her mate climb in. Skyler sat in the front passenger seat while Clara was at the back. Clara knew Skyler was supposed to rest after everything he had gone t
Silieus mietr anri kpocus"Silieus mietr anri kpocus"Both of them kept repeating the word and Clara felt a strange weave of power pass through her body and the sudden change in the room atmosphere. The wind blew through the ladies' hair meanwhile the candle lights were burning ever so brightly and on the other hand, the symbol on the floor had started to move and was now forming into a straight line. The witches continued with the chants and the line dissolved again before forming a pentacle. At the same time, Skyler's bleeding wrist was healing and his eyes had returned to normal.Skyler felt a heavy load leave his body and his senses returned, looking sideways,he saw Clara with another girl, one look at the girl, he already could tell she was a witch and what is a witch doing in the pack house and why is Clara with her?. These were the first thoughts that came to Skyler's mind."Clara?. What's going on?". Skyler voiced out.On hearing the familiar voice, Clara opened her eyes and h
