The next day, Skyler and his mate were on their way to the pack's welfare. On reaching there, the duo stepped down from the car, Skyler went around the car and came to stand by Clara's side who looked nervous. She turned to him" what if they don't like me?"."They will love you" he told her. "Just be yourself and don't forget you have me by your side" he told her.Clara nodded. Skyler placed his hand on her back and ushered her into the building."Good morning alpha, we weren't expecting you" said the she -wolf in charge of the welfare center"Right, my mate wanted to visit the kids so I brought them," he said. Turning to face his mate" This is Tamona, the welfare director" "Ramona, meet my mate. Clara Skyler made a quick introduction."It's nice to meet you, Ramona." Clara said."It's good to meet you, Luna and welcome to the welfare. The kids are going to love you" she said. Come in" Clara and her mate followed the she- wolf, he led them into the spacious room with about 15 childr
Meanwhile, Skyler and his beta were trying to find the mole in the pack at the same time they had people searching for the witches but up till now, they hadn't found the mole nor have they been able to find the witches. Every clue ended up as a deadend.Skyler and his beta went back to the clinic where his warriors who were unable to shift were. They guys were fully recovered but were stuck in their wolf form. They made their way to a room that had been arranged for them. And they met the werewolves sitting on the mat. Skyler communicated with them through mindlink. He was relieved that the guys were understanding and didn't blame him for their condition but Skyler did blame himself, and their understanding made him feel worse. After having talked with the guys, Skyler made his way back to the pack house and entered his office to deal with some paperwork that needed handling.All the while, Skyler was worried for the pack and his mate, he failed to worry about himself, in other words,
Clara waited for Skyler to come back so they could have dinner together. After waiting for up to an hour, Clara decided to eat early to avoid indigestion.After eating, Clara waited for Skyler in the living room and she gradually fell asleep on the couch only to be woken up by the sound of the door being opened.She raised her head and saw Skyler walk in."You're back?" She said with a sleepy voice.But Skyler just walked past her without uttering a word. Clara frowned as he had never acted this way to her. She followed him into the bedroom."Sky. Is everything alright with you" she asked. Coming to stand in front of him.Skyler ignored her and continued taking off his shirt. Making Clara more confused. " Why are you not talking to me, is everything alrig__""Don't. I'm not in the mood right now and I would like to go to bed" Skyler said. He ignored her and climbed in bed without sparing Clara another look.Shocked to the core, Clara remained glued to a spot. Skyler had yelled at her,
The couple dropped Clara in front of the mansion before driving away again. Clara made her way inside the house and to her surprise the whole place was crowded with people, especially workers who were cleaning and fixing things up in the mansion.Clara made her way to the living room in low spirits. The coronation wasn't much of a concern to her. On reaching there, Nimue and her granddaughter seemed to be having a deep discussion and Clara wondered what it was about.Ahem" Clara faked a cough to get their attention and it worked. They quickly adjusted themselves on the sofa and turned to face her."Ah, Clara you are here. Come take a seat"Something was definitely off with these two. Clara sighed, I inwardly hoping that it wasn't something bad because she couldn't take any more bad news."I was hoping I could get some sleep before the big event. Do you mind me staying here for the night" Clara asked. She was tired and just wanted to lock herself in a quiet room and away from everyone
At the undiscovered place, Annette was seated with two other witches and at the corner was the outcast, Mira."I think we have waited for too long. Let's put an end to the Alpha and his abomination, "Mirable said."I agree. Balance needs to be restored" Lidia said.Mira who was sitting at the corner found it uncomfortable that the witches were planning to kill Clara and her Mate. Mira was never allowed to take part in coven activity neither was she allowed anywhere important issues were being discussed so, she didn't have much details as to why they wanted Clara and her mate dead.She was a witch herself but the others chose to treat her like an outcast for something she knew nothing about. Mira had always wondered why she was being treated like an outcast in the coven. Her brother used to be one of the strongest and respected witches in the coven. But since he died of poisoning, the coven had turned against her, especially Annette who she believed was her brother's mate.For some rea
After everything was done Clara went to look at herself in the mirror again. From the exquisite gown down to her hair style and jewelry, Clara thought she looked a noble woman from the eighties. Jewel came to stand next to her with a pair of silver heels. She crouched down and helped Clara wear it. Now that she was ready and didn't need a hand, Clara told jewel to leave and the lady bowed to her before exiting the room, leaving Clara alone by herself. Just then, the door opened from behind and Clara and Jewel turned to look in the direction. Nimue walked in looking all dressed up only that the woman was wearing the same color she had always worn. Seeing her in a gray ball gown made quite a difference, she looked younger with the hairstyle."I came to check if you are ready, everyone is waiting for you in the ballroom" Nimue said as she came to stand with Clara." Oh, dear. You are beautiful,clara. just like your mother was" Nimue smiled."Thank you" Clara sincerely. Nimue was one of t
Mira flew over to the wailing territory and perched on a tree branch. She could see banshees and their male fae going in and out for the mansion but there was no sign of Clara anywhere. She couldn't go in for fear of the banshee. They would sing her to death if she dared to step foot in their midst.Meanwhile, Clara had stepped into the ballroom. The population was far fewer than she expected with seventy percent of women. The men were very few. The women were all very beautiful and their eyes were the most fascinating thing of it all. Clara guessed banshee's not only had uniqueness in their voices but also their eyes.The ballroom was dimly lit, the walls were painted with beige and gold. a huge chandelier hung down from the white ceiling. The white marble floor sparked as Clara walked on it. looking ahead of her, Clara eye fell a throne made of silver. Beside it was a small stool and on top of it was a silver crown. The throne and the crown looked luminous. Then her eyes fell on th
The women were now on their way to the pack house. Melanie was driving, Nimue sat on the front passenger seat while Clara and Mira were at the back. They soon reached the pack's territory but were stopped at the entrance of the pack by the patrol team who were always there to perform stop and search on cars going in and out of the pack territory.On seeing the two banshee at the front the werewolves turned aggressive and asked them to head back, saying they have no business with the back until Clara opened the back door and called one of their names."Liam, they aren't here to make trouble. They're here to help" she told him."And the witch, is she also here to help?" Liam asked.Clara forgot that the werewolves could sniff out a witch, right now there was more than one witch in the car."Trust me, Liam," Clara said. She could protest in the gazes of the others but Clara could only care less at the moment.Liam hesitated at first but decided to put his trust on her. She was their Luna
