DOMINIK's POVAs I walked up the stairs, I felt my body vibrate with anger and rage. The events that had just taken place, had spiralled out of my control quickly. There was nothing I could do about Claire’s humiliation and I could not win against Cora.All that was left to do, was control the situation.I got the foot of the stairs and walked down the narrow corridor, all the way up to the large double doors of the sacred meeting group. From behind the doors, I could hear murmurs and small chatter between people. I exhaled, coming face to face with the elders as I pushed the large doors open. My eyes fell on the round table, filled with older wolves seated on each side.The room fell silent, as their eyes fell on me. The double doors slid shut behind me and I gracefully walked to my seat at the head of the table, with my head high up. Through my peripheral vision I could see most of the elders giving me disdainful looks.It was understandable. Most of them, if not all the elders sea

CLAIRE's POVMy night was sleepless. I tossed and turned around on the bed, my mind buried in my thoughts and anxiety. I would occasionally glance at the window, desperately as I waited for the sun to rise.It was morning now, and my anxiety was at its peak. I kept replaying Daniel and Dominik’s words over in my head. I had finally decided. I would meet with Daniel under the maple tree like he said.I had more questions I wanted to ask him, and since I was going to be banished, it was the right thing to do. I sat straight on my bed, my feet tapping the ground as I nibbled on my fingernails.I had waited in my room for hours, alone with nothing but my hazardous thoughts. I could not get the look Dominik had on his face out of my mind. He looked angry and frustrated, but most of all, there was a hint of sadness in the way he looked at me and the way he spoke.But I could not also help but notice that Dominik was hiding something from me. Why could he not solve the problem of my banishme

CLAIREThe night creeped in closer and the cold air that brushed by slapped our skins as we stood under the maple tree. The leaves rustled on top of us, and my eyes trailed to it.We had been waiting for a while, a long while, but Daniel was nowhere to be found. I glanced at Luis, and we both shared a look. I sighed and rested my back firmly on the wall.Had Daniel bailed on me? After telling me to wait here for him? I began to feel ire rise up within me. But then something else hit me. What if everything Daniel had told me was part of his elaborate plan to get me killed? I swallowed and looked up at Luis. “Hey, what if Daniel-““Cora’s spy who was sent to lure you out and kill you?” he cut in.My eyes went wide. He had read my mind perfectly. Luis sighed and rested his hand at the handle of his sword that sat at the side of his hips.“I am guessing that was what you thought of too.”I nodded slowly. Luis ran a hand through his hair and his eyes trailed to the road we had come from,

CLAIRE's POVI could not describe the happiness bursting through me. My lips curled into a smile as the man, I presumed to be Enzo approached me. He slowly took off the cloak over his head and a sigh of relief washed through me instantly. It was Enzo, the alpha of the pack I grew up in. The alpha who first showed me genuine love. My eyes scanned his face, taking in his fine feature. His hazel eyes glowed in the moonlight as he looked down at me. I became breathless as I stared at him. It really was Enzo, standing here in front of me. I could not ignore the feeling of familiarity riding up within me.Without thinking I leaped into his arms, and to my surprise, he wrapped his hands around my waist pulling my closer to him.“My God, how much I have missed you,” he breathed and stroked my hair.Suddenly realising how close we were I pulled away from him almost immediately. He was taken aback by my sudden action, but I brushed it aside and spoke.“What are you doing here?” I inquired, tr

CLAIRE's POVMy eyes cracked open to the sound of chattering and footsteps. I blinked slowly, and my blurry vision dissipated. My eyes were met with a very unfamiliar ceiling and a weird environment.I pushed myself up into a sitting position and stretched my stiff arms. I looked around me once more, before everything slowly came back to me.This was not my room at the pack house. I was banished, our encounter with those mindless wolves, and Enzo coming to our rescue. Everything had gone by so fast, it was hard to believe that they even happened.I threw sheets off me and got out of bed, I stumbled back and crashed to the floor, on my bottoms. I blinked in surprise and laughed to myself. The events of yesterday had drained me so much, and using a lot of my witch powers added to the fatigue. A loud knock came on the door, startling me. My heart began to race. Was it Enzo? Who would come knocking on my door at eight in the morning? I picked myself up from the floor and began to approac
