CLAIRE's POVBlood. There was blood pooling out from Cora’s unmoving body as she lay at the bottom of the stairs. I stood frozen, clutching the newly retrieved necklace in my hand as my eyes remained on Cora.I heard whispers around me and I jolted back. My eyes surveyed the surroundings and my heart dropped when I saw a large crowd surrounding the vicinity. When had they gathered? I had assumed that they had gathered around us when we started struggling and yelling, but I was too preoccupied with Cora to notice any of them.The weight of the situation began to dawn on me slowly and i felt a pit form in my stomach. What had I done? Nothing was making any sense to me.When had we gotten to the top of the stairs? How had she fallen all the way down to the bottom? I remembered how much I had pushed Cora. It was not a strong push, just enough to get the necklace off her neck.Then how on earth had she fallen down the stairs? Had she slipped. I turned back to Cora and watched as more blood

CLAIRE's POVI was not sure if I had heard her right. I blinked at Sorcha and tilted my head at her.“What?”She stumped her feet, which was bare on the floor and glared at me.“Are you deaf now? I said I want to see Dominik, now!” She yelled.Her voice echoed through the hallway and I jolted back. I looked around and pushed her further back. I slipped out into the cold night air and shut the door behind me.“Have you gone mad? Why would you show up at the pack house at four am? And why did you yell? What if someone heard you?” I questioned her with a lowered tone.I feared that my voice may carry and that would alert the other wolves, or even Dominik. Sorcha clenched her fists and spoke within gritted teeth.“I did not come out here for you to bombard me with too much questions. Now let me through!” she yelled again.“Can you stop yelling? Can you not tell the kind of situation you are in? If anyone were to know that you are out here, it would not end well for you,” I cautioned as I

CLAIRE's POVI groaned as I attempted to change my position on the bed. I felt a large mass around my waist, which held on to me tightly, disrupting me from moving any further. I cracked my eyes open and squinted them the moment I sighted how bright the room was. The whole room was tranquil, except for the sound of the wind blowing against the curtain.I groaned again and my eyes travelled to my body. I flushed the moment I realised that I was stark naked and Dominik’s bulky arms were around my waist.I swallowed and turned slowly behind me. My eyes fell on Dominik, who was still deep in sleep. I could feel his soft breaths on my neck and it made the hairs on my body stand erect.His face looked peaceful however, like he was having a very pleasant dream. I chuckled quietly and pushed strands of hair away from his forehead. Even though he was asleep, he still looked incredibly dashing.My eyes travelled to his lips and I began to recall everything that happened last night. The feel of

CLAIRE's POVThe tension around us was at its peak, as we waited for the man to speak. Dominik however, was rather impatient. He tapped his feet on the ground occasionally, his eyes remaining fixed on the man.I on the other hand, was torn between wanting the hear what the man had to say, and not wanting to hear it at all. It could be important, but at the same time, there was a foreboding feeling, crawling up my skin, warning me that whatever the man had to say, was going to be bad news for me.Daniel roamed about, pacing back and forth with his hands on his chin, and his eyes looked to the ceiling. He looked like he was trying to recall something, or he was stuck in a trance.After several minutes, he looked down to the ground and his gaze slowly trailed to me. Shivers ran down my spine as his red and blue eyes fell on me. His eyes were indeed beautiful, but the bizarreness of them, made it feel eerie to me.“You Claire have undergone a lot of hardships in life. From when you were b

DOMINIK's POV“I see what you are getting at here,” I said and folded my arms, turning to face her directly. “So? What do you want me to do for you?”Cora’s face brightened up and a wide smile graced her lips. She looked like a child, who had been gifted a new toy.“I am so glad that you are not being so difficult, and also, you-““Tell me what you want, now.” I dead panned.Cora did not seem fazed, but kept wearing a bright smile. She shot up from the bed and stood in front of me, her arms folded.“I want Claire, banished from the pack, forever.”My eyes went wide and my blood went cold. I shot up from the bed and hovered over her, my blood boiling with an anger, one I had never felt to this extent. “What the fuck did you just say?” I growled.Cora stared up at me, dead in the eyes. There was no hint of fear in her body movements or expression. Just who was this woman?“You heard me Dominik. I want Claire out of here, for good.”“I will not agree to such a request!” I bellowed at he
