CLAIRE's POVI splashed some water on my face and listened to the sound of the water run down the sink. I wiped my face with the back of my hand, and stared at my reflection in the mirror.I looked drained and sleep deprived. The bags under my eyes gave it away. It was hard to get sleep after everything Enzo had said to me. I stayed up all night thinking about everything.He had put me in a tough situation, and I did not have a solution to it. I could not agree to be his. My heart, soul and body belong to my mate Dominik.But how was I going to reject him? I grimaced. Rejecting him may be the last thing I would want to do. What if my rejection enraged him, and he ended up throwing me out of the clan?I shook my head. Enzo was caring, he was not that kind of person. But I could not help but think about multiple possibilities. I splashed more water on my face and turned the tap off. Lazily, I trudged back into the room and flopped down on the bed with a heavy sigh. I needed someone to

CLAIRE's POVI shut my eyes tight as I waited and anticipated a hit from my father. This was nothing new. I had suffered and endured harsher treatment from him when I was younger. But all that stopped when I went to live with the other omegas.Moments had passed, and I had not felt anything. Curiously, I peered my eyes open and I saw that my father’s hand was still on the air, but another hand was around his wrist, stopping him from hitting me.I snapped my head back and saw that it was Luis who held his hand in place. Luis looked angry with his furrowed eyebrows.“You bloody outsider! How dare you interfere when I am trying to discipline my own daughter?!” My father yelled and I could see the veins at the side of hi head pop out.“This is not the way you discipline your own blood. No one would raised their hands against their own family.”My father growled and snatched his hand away from Luis grip.“And who do you think you are? You think you can tell me how to discipline my own daug

CLAIRE's POVAlpha Enzo held my hand with so much boldness as he led me towards the crowd. I could not help but notice the obvious stares coming from the crowd, and of course, their reaction was as I had expected.They looked at me with hate, disdain and the female omegas looked at me with so much jealousy, I could see it in their eyes. Who would not be jealous? I was dressed in a pretty attire, walking hand in hand with the handsome alpha Enzo. It was bound to cause such a reaction from them.It was not a secret how much every omega wanted to be the Alpha’s mate. And here I was, standing beside him. I turned my gaze to the ground, feeling uncomfortable with the stares I was getting. Enzo and I reached the middle of the crowd and stood close to the bon fire. He still held my hand as he turned to face the crowd. The music in the background died down, and the crowd went as silent as a graveyard.“Greetings, I am sure most of you have not a single clue why this party was hosted. I am no

CLAIRE's POVThe deep, baritone voice was ever so familiar and I knew exactly who it was. I raised my eyes from the floor and fixed them on Enzo. He stood behind Freya and the other omegas.Freya made a sharp turn and I could sense the stiffness in her body at the sight of the alpha. The other omegas were visibly terrified and remained petrified in one place.“What is going on here?” Enzo asked again, his tone firm and his gaze menacing.“We were just welcoming Claire back to the clan, since we have missed her so much,” Freya lied.“You missed her so much, that you ripped her clothing?”Freya froze again and she took a few steps back but Enzo caught a hold of her arm. From the intensity of his grip, Freya let out a loud cry of pain.“I saw everything Freya. You can’t lie to me. I promise you one thing though, you will be severely punished for what you have done,” Enzo said in a low, menacing tone that made even me tremble.Freya lowered her head, too ashamed and scared to look Enzo in

ENZO's POVI rested on the wall beside my desk as I held a large document in my hand. My eyes were on the paper, but my mind would occasionally delve deep into my thoughts. I blinked and read a line again, the same line I had read a few times now.I exhaled and flung the document on my desk and placed my head back on the wall. My mind was filled with nothing but Claire, and it was a huge distraction. I could not get her words out of my head, the way she had rejected me.Whenever I thought of how she rejected me, I felt a sharp pang in my chest. Claire was in love with that alpha, the same one that took her away from me. When he requested to take her with him, I was enraged, but I could not refuse him. I thought I had a chance with her the moment I learned that she had been thrown out of the clan by her mate.But he still had a hold on her and it angered me so much. I clenched my fist and slammed it into the wall as I spewed curses from my lips. I wanted her so much, it hurt. I was det
