Claire's POVI was nervous walking back to our floor after I called the Silver Crest Pack. I knew Stephen would be upset that I did it, but he gave me no other choice. I couldn't stay in the background. This was about me and my life, and after everything I had been through when Gary kidnapped me, I knew I needed to make a move. I was never going to be that weak girl again."You were never weak, Little Human. You have always been strong. You just didn't know how strong you truly are," Cara said"Stephen is going to be pissed," I replied"I don't care. Let Stephen and Matteo be mad all they want. You had every right to make that call. They certainly weren't trying to do it. If you didn't, we wouldn't be invited to their Pack," Cara said. She was right. I might have snuck and made the call, but it paid off. At first, Kane, the Silver Crest Alpha, seemed to be annoyed with me calling him until I told him about Gary moving to our Pack years ago. He said he and his parents left after his br
Claire's POV"Stop thinking so much about everything, Little Human. You are doing the right thing. You know you are doing the right thing," Cara said. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I knew Cara was right, and I had to do this. If I didn't, I would never find out what I was or what I could do. I wished Stephen, Steven, and Gwen would come with me, but I knew they wouldn't. I also knew that if I told any of them what I was doing, they would stop me. I didn't put it past Stephen to lock me up somewhere, so I couldn't get out. I placed the note on the nightstand, picked up my bag, and quickly went through our bedroom window. I was high up and worried I would fall to my death. "Now what, Cara?" I asked"Go to the emergency exit at the end," she said, and I walked to the end and opened the door."Thank God the alarm didn't go off," I thought. Once I was inside, I went down the stairs and made my way to Jenn's room. I had texted her about ten minutes ago, telling her to meet me
Jenn's POV"This is all your fault, Stephen. If you hadn't forbidden her to go to the Silver Crest Pack, she never would have gone alone," Steven said"Yeah, if you weren't speaking to her like she's a normal Pack Member, she wouldn't have left. Now she has put herself in danger and doesn't even know it," Gwen said "All, so this is all my fault, right? I didn't hear either one of you say anything. You just sat there are let me do all of the talking like always," Stephen said "That's not true," Steven said "It is true," Stephen started, but I cut him off."All of you need to shut the fuck up," I screamed, causing everyone to look at me. "Jenn, this isn't the time. We have to find your sister," Stephen said and tried to walk past me, but I stood in front of him. I could tell he was shocked I did this because of the look he had on his face. "Jenn, you need to move now," He said in a demanding voice that almost made me listen to him. Almost being the Key word, instead, I stood my gr
Claire's POV "Cara, we have to get out of here," I said, then one of the Rogues jumped at us. Cara immediately moved out of his way and bit into his leg, causing him to fall to the ground. Then, the other Rogues began to growl, and Cara took off running. I could hear them growing as they chased after us. "Faster, Cara, we have to get away from them," I said, scared. I could tell Cara wanted to fight, but I was worried because we weren't that experienced. We hadn't been training long, and I was sure these Rogues had lots of experience. "I know, Little Human. Just calm down, and I will get us away from them," She said. Suddenly something hit us from behind, causing us to fall to the ground. One of the Rogues was hovering over us, growling. Cara growled back at him in a warning. We got up from the ground and started moving backward. I could feel that Cara had no intention of running away from them. "I can take them," Cara said and lunged at one of the Rogues. She bit into his arm, cau
Claire's POV I woke up hearing the sound of beeping. The smell of antiseptic took over my senses. I immediately knew I was in a hospital room. "Where am I?" I thought to myself. I could feel a little pain in my neck, more like a cramp or something. It didn't feel like a werewolf had just bit into it. "We are at the Silver Crest Pack, Little Human," I heard Cara say. "Cara, thank God you are okay," I said happily. I was so worried about her after the Rogue bit us. "I am so sorry, Little Human. I should have listened to you when you told me to run. I thought I could take them, but I was wrong," Cara said. I could hear the sadness in her voice. "Cara, it is okay, but you can't do that again. We have just started training and aren't as good as those Rogues out there. We have to be smart next time." "I know. I promise if we get in trouble again, I will think logically before reacting," Cara said. "Good. So we are at the Silver Crest Pack?" I asked. Those werewolves that saved me
Claire's POV I looked at Gwen and saw the shocked expression on her face. She had no idea that she had other family members besides the ones on her mom's side. "I have family here?" Gwen asked Alpha Kane. "Yes, a lot of them, actually. Your father even has a sister that still lives here. She didn't leave when your father, his brother Turner, and their parent left the Pack," Alpha Kane said "Why did they leave the Pack?" Gwen asked, and Alpha Kane began to frown. "Something terrible happened, but I believe it would be best for you to hear it from Alicia. I can take you to see her if you want. She has been wanting to meet you." "Who is Alicia," Gwen asked. "Your father's twin sister," Kane said, and Gwen looked at him in shock. "My father has a twin?" "Yes, he does. Would you like to meet her?" "I should stay with Claire," Gwen said. "No, I am fine. You should go meet your Aunt," I said "Are you sure, Claire?" She asked hesitantly "Yes, I want you to meet her. She will
Gwen's POV "Are you nervous about meeting your Aunt," Steven asked as Alpha Kane drove up to the house. "No. I am not nervous," I lied. I couldn't believe I had an aunt and was meeting her. I wondered what she would be like. I wondered if she would be like Gary and My grandparents. Since I was a child, Gary had never been loving or caring. He wasn't friendly to anyone besides my mom. She was the only one that he ever showed affection to. My grandparents were just like him. They were not the loving grandparents that most of the Pack Members my age had growing up. I wondered if my Aunt would be just like them. "You ready to meet your Aunt Alicia?" Alpha Kane said. "Yeah. I am ready," I replied, and we all got out of the car. But, before we could walk to the front of the house, a woman stepped outside. She looked to be in her lower forties, and I could see the resemblance between her and my father. They looked just alike, and it wasn't hard to believe they were twins by their feat
Gwen's POV I couldn't believe what Alicia had just told me. She believed that Turner killed their little ten-year-old sister. Only a monster could do something like that. To kill an innocent little girl over jealousy was one of the most horrible things someone could do. "You really believe Turner killed your little sister over jealousy?" Steven asked. "I don't believe it. I know it. Turner is crazy and has always been. You two came over here to learn about our family history, right?" Alicia asked "Yes, I just found out recently that I am a protector. Gary had been hiding it from me my whole life," I said. "I can't believe he would do that. Gary had definitely changed from when he lived here," Alicia said "If he was sweet and caring when he lived here. Then, yes, he definitely has changed," Steven said. "Why would Turner kill Gwendoline?" I asked. "As you know, someone in our family is born a protector. We all believed Gwendoline would be one because she was a miracle child. Sh
