CLAIRE's POVNight came quicker than I expected, and darkness had shrouded every nook and cranny of the clan grounds. It was finally time to leave and I carefully slipped out of my room and tiptoed down the hallway.I took careful steps out of the main building and tiptoed over to the darkest corner I could find. I placed my back on the wall, my eyes scanning the surroundings, in search of Luis.The whole ground was as silent as a graveyard. The wolves that were working on rebuilding houses and clearing up the dead bodies had retired for the day. It helped that no single soul was in sight, but that also meant that Luis and I had to be very tranquil, or else, we could easily draw attention to ourselves.I chewed on my finger tips as I impatiently waited for Luis. Worry began to encroach and fill my mind. Why was he not here yet? Was he alright? I pondered on these questions I could get an answer to.I exhaled to calm myself and slid my eyes shut. The only thing I could hear was the lou

DOMINIK's POVI sighed as I wrote the last words down on the thick sheet of paper in front of me. This was my tenth letter I was going to send out to Claire and Luis this week. I knew I was writing a bit too much to them, but I had become extremely worried since they never wrote back.In my letters, I made sure to state the progress and the current situation of the clan. After the announcement of Claire’s banishment, things were still heated in the clan. The wolves talked about the hybrid for days.It took a while to control the gossips and whispers, but eventually, it died down. It was taking me more time to completely burn out the whole situation and I found it hard to construct a way for Claire to become part of the clan once again.Thinking and making decisions by myself had become a huge chore, since I was used to deciding things with Luis. Luis was a smart man, and the perfect right hand man for me. He was not rash like me, and never let his emotions cloud his judgement. I could

CLAIRE's POVMy consciousness was slowly coming back to me, but I felt anything but light headed. My head felt like it weighed a ton. I groaned and moved my body, but I felt immobile. I moved my hands, but they would not budge no matter how hard I tried.I cracked my heavy eyelids open and felt a sharp pain at the back of my head. My blurry vision cleared soon enough and the first thing my eyes saw were several pairs of feet. I looked up and saw my father, Enzo, and Freya, standing in front of me.They had not seemed to notice that I was awake, as they kept on conversing with each other. I could still subtly smell the harsh chemical Enzo had placed on my nose. I moved my eyes down to my body and to my surprise, I saw a large thick rope tied around me, holding me bound.My legs were bound together and I was unable to move them. My eyes trailed around the surrounding. The room was small with no windows or doors. The only illumination in the room was a single light bulb that blinked in t

GRIFFIN's POV ( CLAIRE’S FATHER )“Sir!” A young lad in light armour yelled.My attention was immediately drawn to his direction. I turned my eyes to find him running over to me. His breath was haggard and sweat piled over his forehead. The sight of the sweaty young lad irritated me a bit and I wished to be anywhere but near him.“Speak, what is it?”“Well the man we were pursuing may have fled in a different direction.”I cursed under my breath. One of the wolves had found a rat amongst us, but before we could catch him and give him his due punishment, he ran off into the woods. Alpha Enzo had commanded me, his beta to gather some men and conduct a search for him, but from the looks of it, it was proving unfruitful.“Keep looking! I do not care where you search, or how long you search, just find the goddam bastard!” I yelled.The young wolf shuddered and nodded vigorously. He scrambled over to the other wolves and they chattered for a bit before splitting up and disappearing into th

GRIFFIN's POVI lay in bed, wide eyed as I stared at the ceiling. My hands were at the back of my head and sleep was far from me. I kept replaying the words Enzo had told me, over and over again. At this point, it felt like there was a broken record in my head.The alpha’s words were definitely a threat. His words meant that he could replace me at the beta of the clan, and choose some else. The realisation hit me the moment he spoke those words to me. It took me all I could to not utter curses at him. How could he threaten to replace me when I had been his beta for years? I had tried my best to be loyal to him through out the years.I sighed and turned over to my side. I could not get replaced no matter what. If I did, that means I would lose my reputation and respect I had managed to attain. I would go back to being a regular wolf. I shuddered at the thought.As I began to get consumed by my thoughts, I heard a soft, subtle knock on my room door. The faint sound broke me out of my th
