Author's POV “Claude!!! I’ve been waiting for you, let’s get going else we’ll be late for class.” I heard Victoria say. She was running towards me, with smiles on her face, fake smiles. Gosh, it was so obvious, I wonder why I never noticed it. “Well for numerous reasons, you were dumb, gullible, and weak,” Ria answered, chuckling. “Yeah, I know. You don’t have to rub it in!!” I pouted. She finally got to where I stood and hugged me awkwardly, I forced myself to stay in place and not push her away. “Claude.” Someone said, behind her. I looked up to see the one I dreaded seeing the most. Denver. My mate. The life we once had hard flashed through my memories at once. Flashback THE PAST LIFE… May 11th 1995 Author’s POV “Miss Mary, can you get me my Barbie doll? Denver threw it on the roof and now I can’t get it out.” Claude sobbed. “He did? Where is he? He deserves to be spanked.” Miss Mary, Claude’s own maid said. “He is over there,” she pointed, still in tears. “Let’s go,
Author’s POV “Hey, I'm sorry, I didn't see you there.” Claude apologized swiftly. She was already covered in guilt. “No, it’s not you.” The girl said, wiping her snort with her hands. “Denver!! We have a situation at hand!” She called him. She knew he was probably hiding around one of the bushes and from the odd way the berry bushes looked She knew at once that he was behind it. He did not comment. “Come on, I know you are hiding behind those berry bushes so quit acting like a cry baby and come out of there!!” She yelled, festering with her hands. She heard a loud some of the protest. It came from the direction of the bush. Soon after he was out, there were leaves on his clothes and hair. He had a tight expression on his face as he was headed her way m. She chuckled at the sight of him. “Nice decoration boy.” She teased, laughing. The girl turned around and when she saw Denver she couldn’t take her eyes off him. “What happened?” He asked, ignoring her laughter. “Do you mean,
Chapter 10 The past… June 30, 2004. Claude’s Birthday. Author’s POV “Mom, I'm freaking out. What if I mess up?” Claude asked her mom, the Luna. She was nervous. Today is her eighteenth birthday. The most important birthday in the life of a werewolf. Wolves about to clock eighteen usually have the feeling of both happiness and nervousness. They are happy because they get to wolf out on that day, they also get to find their life partners known widely as their “mates” and they are nervous because of two things; one, uncertainty. The moon goddess is a being with the highest IQ. She understands the wolves and how much they respect hierarchy, so from time to time she chooses one quarter of the wolves coming of age in a particular year and does as she pleases them. Sometimes a wolf conceived from the mating of two omegas can wolf into a beta. Other times a wolf conceived of the mating of an alpha and a beta can produce a delta or even an omega. She does this to maintain the balance in
Victoria’s POV Everyone got up in a frenzy, ready for whoever was at the gate. It was very common for intruders to interrupt a wilding ceremony and the likelihood is greater when it is the wilding ceremony of the alpha’s daughter. Bearing his fangs, Denver stepped forward, waiting for who it was to come in. The door pushed open and Victoria stepped in with a gloomy expression. “Denver?” she called out. It was gradually approaching midnight, other wolves see clearly at this time bit itbese a different story for the Omega wolves. “Vicky? What are you doing here?!” he called with a laugh, he relaxed his shoulders. “Are you saying I shouldn't be here? I can go if you want me too.” I told him, I didn't mean it though, even if I wanted to leave, it won't be when Denver is here. I love being around him, it makes me happy. “No, no, no. How will I want you to leave, I'm just concerned, you showed up really late, Claude is uptight the whole day because you weren't around to cheer her up
Victoria’s POVI rolled my eyes and followed her. The funny thing is that she never noticed the way I act around her. Alpha daughter my foot! More like a dumbass.“Don’t walk so slow we have to be fast, it will soon be time,” Claude said, pulling my hand.We stood in front of her parents and I bowed my head in respect. “Good day, Alpha and Luna”. Claude went close to Luna and whispered something in her ear which made Luna smile and turn toward me.“Victoria, is it true that today is your birthday too,” she asked and I forced a smile and nodded. “Why didn’t you say anything? We could have prepared something for you, but anyways you both can celebrate it together”.“I didn’t want to be a burden,” I said looking down at my feet. She came towards me and hugged me. “You are like family to us so it wouldn’t be a burden. If you need anything don’t hesitate to tell me” she whispered softly in my ear.This is the type of family I wanted to be born into, not a stupid omega bloodline. Claude has
Claude’s POVThe past… July 2004I saw Victoria look up to the sky and noticed that the full moon shone brightly in the sky. I heaved a breath nervously and turned towards Victoria.“Are you ready? It’s time” I told her, holding her hands. We stood up and made our way to the circle where we are going to shift.“Where is she going to Alpha? Claude is meant to shift alone. It’s a tradition!” An elder asked my dad while referring to Victoria.“She is family and today is her birthday so I can assure you that nothing will go wrong so don’t be worried,” he said to the pack and they nodded.Victoria rubbed my hand in comfort and smiled which made me calm down a little bit. This is a huge deal for me because everyone is expecting much more from me since I am the soon-to-be Alpha.We were close to the circle when Victoria's hand left mine and she fell down to the ground. I bent to carry her up but she groaned in pain.“She is shifting” I heard someone whisper in the crowd and my eyes widened. A
