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
18 years ago in Mystic falls. The evening sun cast long shadows on the ground. The slanting rays of the setting sun gave a warm orange ting to the sky. But a certain group of people were in no mood to bask in it's warmth. The atmosphere was thick and dense with pressure for the incoming war. A war born out of hatred and betrayal. Inside the Queen chamber stood two women and a baby. "Here, everything you need is inside this bag. take her far away from here, where no one will ever find her, but if things turn out well, you both can return ``.said the woman. Her emerald green eyes reflect guilt, pain and sadness.
Again, she found herself standing in this strange dark room. Silently, stood a tall figure, staring down at her with those smoldering silver eyes, eyes that sent shivers through her body.No!she screamed internally as he walked towards her and subconsciously, she took a step back. She continued to retreat until her back hit the cold wall. He smirked and she gulped.Suddenly,a warm fingertip brushed her chin and she flinched. She wanted to move away from him but she couldn't. Her body betrayed her.As his warm finger traced down to her neck, she shut her eyes, hoping she could wake up from this nightmare. Having this stranger so close to her didn't go well. Suddenly she felt a tight grip around her jaw, he raised her head, so she was facing him."Look at me," He said.But she shut her eyes tightly. "Open your eyes" He commanded. His grip on her jaw tightened.her eyes fluttered open and her eyes widened upon seeing how close their faces were to each other.she could clearly see the ou
"Pens up" said the teacher, and Clara finally took a breath of relief. Exams are over and her birthday is just a few days aways. She was excited that she could finally go on vacation with her friends. After Packing her books into her bag, Clara headed to where her besties were. Hey guys, how was the exams" she asked, Staring at their faces, Gina had a frown on her face, Raya was smiling while Kyle just stood there expressionless. She guessed today's paper didn't go as smoothly as they all expected, judging by the look on Gina's face. "Let's go get some snacks and soda," Clara said, trying to lighten the mood. "Sure, i really need to chill" Raya said with a smile, she was someone who would never let go of the opportunity to eat. Raya was a foodie, she would salivate at the mere mention of food or snacks. They walked to the nearest diner, which wasn't too far off from the school. The diner was small but very clean. The floor was black and white In check patterns, the tables wer
suspiciously, Clara stood aside and watched them, but they were still unable to notice her presence.They were so engrossed in their whispering that they didn't even notice her and Clara was getting irritated just by watching them. something was definitely going on. Clara decided to interrupt.Ahem!! she let out a fake cough to draw their attention and it worked. Good morning sweetheart " Her Mom greeted. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU'! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU DEAR CLARA, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.Surprised,Clara hands flow to her mouth. Tears crowded her eyes. it was her birthday today and she didn't even remember. she was so lost in the recent nightmare's that she even forgot her own birthday. She felt really touched by their care. Clara managed to sniff back her tears but a few tear drops escaped from eyes. "No sweetheart you don't have to cry, today should be a happy day for you" her mom said, wiping the tears off Clara's cheeks. Clara closed her eyes to regain he
After packing her bag set for tomorrow trip,Clara took a quick shower and changed into her pajamas, then climbed into her bed and under the thick blanket. Without wasting any time she drifted off to Dreamland.Waking up the next morning, she went to take a peek at herself in the mirror.She could see the dark circles that surrounded her eyes. She sighed, tired and exhausted, she wasn't able to get the beauty sleep she hoped to have.She had the same Dreams over and over last night. the same man, telling her '' To hurry up and that he was waiting for her.But the strangest thing is she has begun to develop feelings for this unknown person.His voice was like music to her ears, she could feel his warmth, His scent, he smelt of mint and spring,It was so intoxicating,it felt like a drug to her.Clara could feel her heart beating faster than usual, just by the thought of the man in my dreams.You must be going crazy Clara" she mutter
Clara and her friends settled in just fine. After a few hours of unpacking, They decided to go out to get some groceries. they needed to stock the fridge and all.Clara stepped out with her friend Raya, leaving Gina alone to sort the rest of the things that needed to be sorted. They boarded a taxi that Raya ordered and they both headed off to the grocery store.Clara stared out from the window, she could see the beauty and serenity of the environment. It was calm, the weather so warm, the air was fresh and free from toxins.Clara could already feel herself enjoying the warmth and comfort this place brought to her, the feeling of home and security, she felt all her worries slipping away along with the wind.
Court her and make her fall in love with you, she may be a banshee, but her powers are uncultivated. She is more like the humans and she will be unable to sense the mate bound for now. I have sent someone to tail her, we have to keep her away from her people. It will be easier if she doesn't learn about her Origin. Annette said, an evil gleam apparent in her eyes. Annette knows Xander wouldn't refuse, He has always been power hungry and a greedy wolf. Xander nodded his head as his expression became distant. Two years ago….. Pius Ethelwulf, the alpha of the Mystic shadow pack, was seated with his twin sons. "I have decided to retire from my alpha duties, Skyler, in two weeks I will be handing over everything to you" Alpha Pius spoke. What! His son's exclaimed in unison but for different reasons. Skyler was surprised by their father's sudden declaration, and the thought of shouldering the responsibility for leading the pack. He wasn't too prepared, he sighed. Xander was shocked

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
