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
Past…Authors POVShifting from side to side on the bed Claude couldn’t sleep. She hoped for the best tomorrow when they will meet the pack doctor because she didn’t want to bring shame to her pack and family.She is the only child of her parents so if she doesn’t shift and meet her mate then no one will be able to rule the pack. She was so deep in thought that she didn’t notice when she slept off.============Claude’s alarm rang and she groaned in annoyance, not so happy to start her day yet but she had to start her day so she quickly dressed up and made her way downstairs to eat breakfast.She knows that everyone in the pack would be present so she feels so nervous. She rubbed her sweaty palms together and made her way downstairs.“Good morning mum, morning dad” She greeted her parents and sat beside them and She felt stares on her face so she looked down. She was tired of the stares pack members gave her because of her failure of shifting.She huffed a breath and started eating. At
Past…. Author’s POV All she could hear was the beeping sound coming from the monitor beside her and she was irritated by the noise and tried to open her eyes but she couldn’t. She held the drip and pulled it out of her skin thinking that the beeping sound would be lesser but it increased. All she could hear was the footsteps of people running and doing things on her. Was she dead? =========== Few days later… “Laura you said she was going to wake three days ago” Claude’s mum asked the pack doctor worriedly while looking at her daughter who was hooked up to many machines. “I thought so but she was having a panic attack a few days ago so she cut the iv hooked up in her arm causing shortage of blood ” Laura explained to her. Although Tiffany loved her daughter she couldn’t help but be upset that the moon goddess didn’t give her a strong and fit daughter to be the Alpha of the pack. “What sort of child is this!” She blurted out, causing Laura's eyes to widen and cover Tiffany’s mo
Claude’s POV Present… Previously… “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 are 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 flashed through my memory at once. Flashback… Claude’s POV I wake up in a bed, chained. The chains on my wrist and ankles dig into my flesh when I try to move. I wince at the soreness. I blink the tears away and look around me. We’re in Denver’s house, I realize. Apart from the white ceiling, I don’t see anything else. But I’ve spent most
Claude’s POV It still feels like a dream. I can’t believe that the Moon Goddess gave me a chance to be reborn and correct all the things that were supposed to not happen in my past life. “What did I just say Miss Claude?” I am interrupted by my teacher who stood in front of me. “Oops!” I mumbled underneath my breath. “So sorry ma’am I was just thinking of some things” I replied and was given an eye roll. Okay I get that she doesn’t like me but what the fuck. I don’t care if she doesn’t like me because the gate to heaven doesn’t pass through her house. “Just because you are the Alpha’s daughter doesn’t mean you have to right to zone out in class like that. You can still get punished” she shouted making all heads turn towards me. Of course Victoria was part of them. “Ma’am today has been a tough day for me so don’t add to it just do the work you came to do here” I looked at her in the eye and leaned back to my chair. She looked at me angrily and before I could utter a word my fac
Claude’s POV As I stepped into my house I heaved a breath and looked around. “Seems like nothing changed” I said to Ria who grunted in reply. “Sweetie, what are you doing back by this time?” I heard my mum's voice and froze, not wanting to turn back to see her face. She walked up to me and held my hands waiting for my response but I couldn’t seem to say a word. She was like the mum I had before they disowned me. So bubbly and happy. And I know that she doesn’t even remember anything from my previous life but I still feel upset about it. “Won’t you answer?” She asked, still looking at me, which made me snap out of my thoughts. “Oh I have notes of the class so there was no need attending it” I lied and saw her frown. “Your teacher just called me before you came in. Why are you lying and you are acting weird” she said and I laughed. “Don’t be so tense, mom. You know she doesn’t like me so she is just trying to make you angry with me” I smiled at her and made her sit on the couch.
