Clara’s POV: Before they arrived at the shed:

The way out of the dungeons wasn’t as difficult as we thought. Aside from those men who were sent to extract my blood, there were only a few humans loitering around, each of which Lucas and I got rid of. We then moved up a staircase and pulled open a door that led us into the basement of a mansion. It turned out we were being kept underground while above ground, the place looked like an old, abandoned mansion.

“I think I’ve seen this place before.” Father murmured, eyes sweeping in all directions. “…Maybe back when I worked with the rebels?”

So, it belonged to the late leader?

We walked around for a bit, and my eyes didn’t fail to catch sight of framed photos of Kasan’s father along with a woman and two kids. The woman must be his mother, meanwhile, there’s no mistake that the kids are Kasan and Kenley. It seemed this mansion was their home before they became enemies. Why didn’t he get rid of them?

I haven’t caught a glimpse of any photo

    Clara’s POV: Half an hour of running on foot, we had reached an open area and in another few minutes, we finally neared our destination. We were laying low behind an abandoned truck, discreetly scouting the area. Up ahead, I can see it…the shed. And I can smell him too…Kasan I mean. But… the scent of blood is also unsettlingly pungent. Is Nate already here? Did they get here before us? Are we too late? “We need to move…” Lucas whispered, “But …they’re close…real close. DO NOT let go of your guns…” “Fuck.” I raked a hand over my face as sweat ran down my skin. I was conflicted with no idea what to do. Running over there now would be like throwing myself into fire. I would not be killed, at least for now, but my mom, Dad, Lucas…they’re the ones in danger. They’re the ones I fear for. And on the other hand, leaving things as it is and cowering away like this…is not my style. Kasan is the reason I came back here, I’m not leaving without him…! “Mom…Dad…” My teeth sunk into my bottom l

    “Clara.” Dad’s voice sounded from the door. “What’s wrong?” I glanced at him and mom who were both throwing me worried gazes. “I’m fine, don’t worry.” I smacked Lucas’ hand away, straightening up. “Kasan.” I stepped to him, fingers hesitantly reaching out to grasp his arm. Relief flooded me when he didn’t push me away. “Its Nate…” I whispered, “Nate and Lora. They’re the traitors. I know how that looks with Lucas being her mate, but he’s not one of them, I promise you that. I don’t know who else, but I’m certain about those two. And I heard, Nate is somehow your father’s son… You know what that means, right? You can’t trust anyone, all we have is each other…you, me, mom, dad and Lucas. You’re going to kill them all, right? Then, together…let’s d---"“Did he do that to you?” Words left his lips, words that were directed at me, yet his eyes still hadn’t even touched my figure. “You mean these bruises? Well yeah but t---”“Stay.” Wait what? Stay? Stay where? Is he telling me to stay

    M-My blood…? What is she saying?“Give…or I…make you…” W-What?I don’t know what the hell is happening and it frustrates me. Scares me even! I don’t understand…who is this woman…really? No, is it even a woman?“Clara…it’s you, right? Y-You’re Clara, aren’t you?” Mother’s hesitant voice came from the other end of the room. They had both drifted further away from me and glued themselves to the wall, their faces gone wary. I don’t blame them, even I am frightened of my own mind. But what makes me uneasy is the fact that… this expression of theirs…the words mom just said…it’s just like that time…that time in the dungeon. They looked at me just like this…as if I was a stranger to their eyes. This sudden fear of me…where did it rise up from? “Who else…would I be? Mom...Dad…you know something, don’t you? You weren’t scared of me a moment ago, but what’s that look on your faces…? Is it because I sound crazy? Yeah, I do feel pretty insane, but I wouldn’t hurt either of you. My claws aren’t

  • The Devil's Possession   Kiara

    She reached for Kenley’s chin, tilting his head over as my blood seeped into his mouth. His lips twitched against my skin, adam's apple bobbing slowly as he swallowed. He…drank it… He swallowed it…himself. Those invisible walls that kept me sealed completely disappeared the second he gulped, and as soon as I realized that my body had reverted back to me, I ripped my hand from his lips. Trembling, I held it against my chest, wide-eyes watching Kenley’s chest rise and fall. I paled. I-Its done…it’s been fucking done…! “Her eyes…they’re back…” Mom’s voice sounded just as I heard her feet make a sudden dash towards me. She dropped to the floor beside me, a sob leaving her lips as she pulled me into her embrace, hugging me close. “Y-Your blood…w-why did yo---” “Sorry.” With a face of complete gloom, I dropped my eyes from Kenley’s form, far too ashamed to look at another of my handiworks. I can hear it clearly now…his heartbeats. There’s no doubt that he drank it… right before my ey

    KIARA’S POV: I sat up, cracking my neck and wringing my hands as my golden eyes peered over the room, running over the two in the corner and the two beside me. It seems they haven’t noticed… that I have gained full control of the human. I told her that mate was in danger, and she trusted me so easily that she even gave up her body. Well technically, I might be completely right. My first lie, is it? No, all that shit I said about Lucas being a ‘natural' was totally bullshit as well. Again, this might also be completely true, but I know nothing of it. The human is really pathetic after all, I think we’ll like each other. Just look how obedient she got?Ha!Now…I think we’ve been sitting around for far too long. It’s time, I joined the war like I promised, yes? I’m like a newborn pup, I crave the thrill of battle and the taste of the enemy's blood. Being caved inside this human and unable to stretch my limbs was utterly boring, suffocating even. A wolf should never live like that.

  • The Devil's Possession   Bloody Wolf!

    KIARA’S POV: Shoving the wolves aside, Nate straightened his back and relaxed his shoulders, locking his hands behind him as he sauntered forward. He moved almost gracefully through the night with his dark eyes trained on me, looking as if he was an untouchable figure who could never be harmed despite in the middle of a war. I grinned. So, he thinks I won’t put a hole through his skull like I did that other mutt? Well, he thought wrong! I will make them all fear me…him and all his pathetic wolves! The sound of a twig snapping and the low, animalistic breathing alarmingly close by made me lose focus, the thoughts whirling around in my mind ceasing. Alerted by the incoming danger, I snapped my head to the right, gaze landing on a wolf as it slowly crept towards me like a hungry predator. It was humongous and it’s fur was mostly brown in color with reddish lining on it’s back. It’s heavy paws sunk into the ground when it neared me, sharp teeth on display whilst a loud growl escaped t

    KIARA’S POV: The next thing I knew, hands had already grabbed me by both feet and…I was falling…!I reacted fast, shifting and landing on my elbows against the ground, my free foot quickly ramming into the hand that gripped me. A groan sounded from behind me and as soon as I felt his hold loosen on my ankle, I used the chance to swing my leg up, slamming it into his jaw. A satisfying crack was heard and I quickly crept forward, flatting my palms then pushing myself up. I was seconds away from getting to my feet, but as if the pain didn’t register, he lunged for my ankles once again, this time both hands gripped me, nailing my legs to the ground. Ah, this fucking shit! How…the fuck is he still moving so effortlessly?!“Get...off!” “Now, look at what you’ve done. How do you suppose I punish you?” He rolled his shoulders, the movement increased the flow of blood from his wound yet he did not wince. “I hope you don’t think your stupid mate will save you. By the time he’s even close, I’

  • The Devil's Possession   A Bore

    KIARA’S POV: I twisted around with a glare, my eyes sweeping across the woods and landing on a woman in all black with a mask covering her face as she entered the forest from the shed’s direction, a gun cocked on her shoulder and a broad grin on her lips. The scent she owns…is one that I’ve marked as an enemy’s, but there’s no doubt that she’s the one who shot the bullets. Has she switched sides?“You're the human who stopped my fight?” I dug my glare into her skin. “Yes.” Her grin widened, smug devouring her features, “But what’s up with that glare? I saved you and I even went and brought backup. You people are stressful, especially my mate. Where is he?”Backup?Right on cue, the sound of paws echoed through the forest and werewolves suddenly thundered in behind her, one after the other…both in human and wolf form. I tilted my head. These wolves…somehow, I can tell that they belong to mate’s pack with just a whiff of their scent, but where did they all come from? This many alli

    **Six years later**I sat on the porch of our mansion, rocking my chair back and forth as I stared into the woods up ahead, watching three distant figures move through the trees: Kasan and the twins. It’s pretty windy outdoors and the breeze has basically messed up every strand atop my head despite having just gotten here. It’s the perfect time for a run, but sadly, I can’t. Not while I’m like this…I glanced down at my protruding belly, smiling. Its funny how six years ago I never wanted to have any wolfy powers, but now when I’m not allowed to shift, I begin to miss it every passing day. Speaking of that, ever since the twins, Kiara has been behaving. She’s snappy, but she doesn’t try to force control anymore. I think we’ve formed some sort of truce?“Clara!” The door swung open from the inside and a fuming Ash stepped out, glaring daggers at me, “Where’d you hide the Nutella?!” I rolled my eyes, “Unless, it’s for my cute little nephew, go buy your own.

    “You want anything? I’ll make it for you.” His nose nuzzled into my neck, sniffing at my skin while his hand slipped under my T-Shirt, caressing my stomach directly. “Nope. I thought you were gonna ignore me for the rest of your stupid life.” I grumbled, a small triumphant smile forming at my lips. I totally knew he couldn’t ignore me for long. “I was thinking about it.” His lips left kisses over my neck, “But…you’re having a hard time sleeping because of me. I can’t let my princess suffer.” “Suffer?” I slapped my hand against my neck, separating his mouth from my skin and shifting on the bed to face him. “What the hell? You’re the one who’s suffering.” I poked his chest. “How long have you been lying there not sleeping?”“I was waiting for you to be a good girl and apologize.” He admitted, shamelessly lifting my shirt then pressing his ear against my stomach. He stayed at that spot for a few seconds and kissed my belly-button before sliding up, stuffing his head between my breasts

  • The Devil's Possession   Deafening Silence

    I snatched my hand out of Aiden's grasp, holding it to my chest as I quickly snapped my head to the side, spotting my mate standing just a few steps away from us. His men stood behind him, my brother included. Lucas had disappeared at some point when Aiden was yapping, but I thought he went to take a piss or something! Looking at things now, did he run off to snitch?!“W-When did you come? I didn’t even smell you…” I gulped.“What the fuck are you doing?” Kasan's eyes dropped to my wrist and I paled when they shifted suddenly to a bright golden, fury slipping over his face. His fists tightened at his side and veins rose on his arms as a dangerously wicked aura surrounded his figure, spreading through the club. As if sensing danger, a bunch of people shuffled out as if fire was on their tale, while a few inquisitive ones stayed to stare. Fuck. I expected him to be angry when I decided to come here, but right now he seems to be seething beyond my expectation. “Uh…well…you weren’t hom

    When we got to the club, my excitement had gotten to it’s highest heights and the exhilarating chills running down my back was something I’d missed greatly. Aside from the number of scents overwhelming me and the fact that my ears are a little sensitive, this is awesome! Everything is awesome! We hit the dance floor as soon as we landed, but me and Lucas were the only lone wolves who had no partners. Plus, the twins and Ash decided not to tag along in the end, so barely any close companion either. Still, it was fun nonetheless. Afterwards, we went to the bar and it was at that point that I began to think ‘this isn’t as fun as I thought’. First of all, it was stressful watching them enjoy themselves drinking liquor while knowing full well I can’t do the same. Second of all, the stupid eyes on me make me feel like I’m in some sort of cage. The guys keep glancing at me every few seconds and people I have never seen before seem to have taken interest in my presence, most of them smell

    “Gerald has a package for me, which of you wouldn’t mind bringing it?” Kasan questioned, grinning like they’re old times friends who hadn’t seen each other for a decade. He's been chatting with them for a fucking half a day! That’s quite an exaggeration but still! “Package? I will!” One of them offered, a little too enthusiastically might I add, “Is it guns?! Wolfsbane?!” Their loudness is giving me a headache. I feel like they’d be much more annoying than Ash to be around. “You just gotta bring it, that’s all. Since that’s settled, we’ll be leaving now. I'll see you three next time, I have a meeting with Gerald soon.” Kasan shoved his hand into his pocket, and while his eyes didn’t leave their figures, he leaned closer to me and pressed his lips close to my ear, smirking. “I can feel your glare. Be good for once, babe. They’re valuable friends.” His tongue flicked my earlobe and I jolted, hand flying up to cover my ear. I gave him a ‘what the fuck’ glare, and his response to that

    The evening was a bit chilly when I went out to stretch my legs a little. Sitting around all day and doing nothing felt like it was going to make me lose my sanity anytime soon. What’s the duty of a Luna anyway? I have nothing to do. “Are you tired?” Kasan’s arm slid around my back as we walked side by side, his head peeping over so he could take a quick glance over my face. “You’re sweating. Want me to carry you?”More than a dozen footsteps could be heard trailing behind us, and the sound irritated me to the bone. I strictly told him I wanted to go out on my own, but he insisted on tagging along and also bringing a truck load of his men. Now we look like weirdos walking around on the street with men in black suits strolling behind us. Ugh! I should’ve left without telling him! “I came to take a walk, why would you carry me?” I rolled my eyes. “And I literally told you not to just a moment ago. How many times will you ask the same thing?”“But if you feel---” “I’m fine.” I’m not

    “You’re not fucking leaving this room!” His voice had risen high enough for pretty much everyone in the house to hear, so to say I was taken aback would have been an understatement.He was seething, and all that anger glistening in his golden eyes was pinned on me. I went to move back, but when my feet did not budge even an inch, I quickly realized what was happening. He used a fucking command! “I said I’m going to Lucas. It’s not like I’m leaving the house.” I mumbled, “Why are you even shouting? And a command? Seriously?” I tried to hold eye contact through my words, but his gaze digging into me was so annoyingly intense that I had no choice but to break it, dropping my head.I grinded my teeth, tugging my hand out of his hold with one hard pull. “Is this what you’ll keep doing from now on? You’ll use it whenever I’m like this? Am I your fucking dog?” A frustrated sigh left his lips and he pulled back, putting a bit of distance between us. “That’s not what I wanted to do.” His v

    “Your nose is pretty good now. I’m impressed.” He walked over and sat next to me, his hand pushing my legs down so his head could lay across my lap. His hand then reached for my hair and gently, he twirled strands around his finger as his gaze bored into me. “What’s with that look? Are you bored? You missed me?” He leaned upward and connected his warm lips with mine, gently molding them together. I could feel his smile blossom while he kissed me, but the longer he went on and got no response, it quickly faltered. He pulled back, licking his lips. “Babe?” He frowned, sitting up and moving my feet onto his lap, slipping one hand around my lower back whilst the other moved to massage my legs. “We haven’t seen each other in a while but it looks like you’re not happy to see me since you’re cursing me six feet under with your eyes. I’ve been busy, haven’t I? I know your wolf is restless when I’m not around.” I looked away, gritting my teeth. If he knows, why leave me here everyday! I can

    Positive….All freaking positive…. every single one of them….I’m pregnant… I’M PREGNANT!I can feel the unmistakable budding of excitement in my chest as I looked down at the tests in front of me, but the anxiety…was also unfortunately sparking… Is this a moment where I should pop a smile? I can’t even bring myself to do that much. Fuck. I keep thinking about whether he’ll like this or not. Well…I mean, he needs his heir to take over, so obviously he’ll want a child. But will he be ‘happy’? As in, does he really want a baby with me? Like Lora said, he might not even be fond of it. Or am I thinking too much?“Oye! Get out if you don’t want me to come get you.” A shout came from Ash along with the sound of fists banging against the bathroom door. I sighed. She’s the last person I want to know about this, but the situation has already gone bad. I slid the tests off the counter and into the trash bin beside it then sluggishly washed my hands at the sink, sighing for the second time.
