Clarissa's POVIt is finally the day I will be leaving for Moonlight Pack. I wish I did not have to leave, but this is necessary for the greater good. I would have discussed my terms and conditions with him, but it is not something we can discuss over the phone; we need to see each other physically so that he will know that I am dead serious.I know it is for a few days, but I will miss him so much.For a whole night, we did not talk to each other. We faced opposite sides and slept. I was bothered by this, and I thought we would spend the night in each other's arms before I left.This morning, as I was preparing to leave, he did not bother to acknowledge my presence. I had a feeling of nostalgia; I wish I could make all this go away so that I could be in his arms forever. I hate that he is treating me like I am a stranger. I hate that he is not holding me right now, assuring me that everything will be fine and that I am not making a dumb decision right now.I packed a few thin
Stephan's POVIt has been four hours, twenty-five minutes, and two seconds since little one left. I know this because I have been looking at time for a while, wishing it could stop so that this day will never come.Since she revealed her intentions to me, I have been tormented.Tell me about any wolf who stays without his mate, or whose mate abandons him to go to another pack, whose mate chooses to save other people than him.I want to hurt her back so that she will know how I feel. I ignored her and walked past her each time we saw each other, knowing that it would hurt her. I wanted to make her stay with me, and I thought hurting her would do the trick.We slept facing the opposite side last night. I did not sleep a wink; I wanted to drag her to me and sleep with her, In my arms, it took all my will.power to keep my hands off her.I have been sitting here since she left; I could not bring myself to do anything.Her scent fills the entire place, tormenting me.I want to go after
Alpha Will is a friend of mine and a guest to you; surely you don't feel that it is proper for you to send him out to go and eat with the others because of his position. "Child, it is not because of him alone; this is how things are done here.""Then does that mean I have to go outside as well since I am an omega?""No child, you are my granddaughter; I prepared this for you, and you might be that, but you are more dominant than the omegas.""Do you only care about positions?" "I will not be eating with you; if he is sent out, I will follow him outside too."He frowned at me, then faked a smile before agreeing to let Will sit with us to eat. That was resolved, and we sat down to eat. He wasn't saying anything, probably because of Will. I picked up my food and went outside for some fresh air. My wolf was restless; I hadn't spoken to him all day; it felt strange. I thought that if I finally found my roots, I would feel inner peace. This is not the case for me; staying here without
Elizabeth's POV It has been years since I ran away from my father; I did not want to do his bidding.He is a cold and heartless man.The day I escaped was the hardest moment of my life.I wanted to start life afresh. I wanted to purge the old pain and start a new chapter in my life.Accepting Clay was one of the most difficult decisions I had ever made.It was either that or my father.I chose the lesser evil of the two.At first, we could not accept each other because of the circumstances we met, but since the moon goddess decided our faith, who are we to kick against it?When Clayton found me in the. woods, I had already given up on life itself; I wanted to die. I was bleeding, thirsty, and hungry.I even crossed to the other side because I saw a shining light.I was unconscious for a while before Clay found me.I was told that I was burning up and too weak to move when he took me back to his pack.They said I wasn't healing properly like a normal wolf, so I figured out that
Elizabeth's POVI love the look on my mate's disappointed face each time his plan failed and the anger on my daughter's face each time she blamed Clarissa for everything, including making the weather too hot, hot, even though she was not capable of that. It assured me that they both failed in their little scheme to hurt her. I love both of them, but I can't let them hurt Clarissa out of jealousy and hatred. It wasn't her fault that she was born; it was mine. I will find a way to tell Stephan what they are up to; he promised to keep her alive, and alive, and now he has to do that. He swore that no hair on her head would be touched and that he would die protecting her. I will have to hold him to that. It is not going to be easy to speak with him, but I will find a way to do so, as it, as I always do. *****************Moonlight pack Alpha Will's POV It has been three days since Clarissa came to stay with me. The problem is that she doesn't know that she is trapped yet. If eve
Chapter 41Stephan's pov"After you left, babe, I was miserable, and I went about my duties with a nonchalant attitude.""I was pissed and irritated by everything." "I shouted at Liam and cursed at the servants for breathing too hard." "I was in pain, and I needed help like never before; since no help was forthcoming, I lashed out, hurting everyone with me.""I slept during the day to numb my pain since alcohol doesn't make me drunk.""It was after sleeping as usual that I heard what I couldn't believe to be true.""I overheard Liam and his wicked witch; she explained to him how she overheard you and him talking and how she mentioned going to see Uncle; she decided to take that opportunity and get them together.""She boasted that she called her grandfather and told him what was happening—that you were planning on journeying there.""I attacked both of them and nearly tore her into pieces.""I would have succeeded in doing that, except Liam pleaded with me not to do that.""I warned
I prepared a picnic for us. I proceeded to put on clothes and waited for her to do the same.After putting on clothes, I brought out a food basket that I had packed from home. I instructed Lucia to pack her favorite food.We walked to the mountain, holding our hands together.We found a beautiful spot and laid out our food to eat. I have not been eating well since she left, but being here with her awakened my hunger.I packed lots of beef, a huge bowl of mashed potatoes, apples, hot sauce, and water.I wanted it to be like a date, the one I have seen humans have.We devoured the food, enjoying every bit of it.After we had eaten under the sun, we were sweaty and full.We walked down from the mountain back to the cabin, and when we got to the pool, she suggested that we swim to cool off.She took off her clothes completely and went into the pool. She brought out her hands, battered her eyelashes at me, and invited me to join her. I wasn't going to say no to such an offer; I wanted t
Clarissa's POvI have been going around for a while searching for more information about Alpha Will.The painful part is that everyone refused to say anything; it was as if the mention of his name alone gave his people a heart attack.I need to find something, and I need to do it very quickly.I usually go down to the village dressed like I am one of them, then sit down in the market square and buy something.In the process of doing that, I will start a random conversation with a stranger.I ask questions that don't matter to me, and after we have talked about that for a while, I will shift to the main topic that I wanted to answer.The first time I tried it, it was with a woman who went outside the human world to trade with them and was just returning to the market.She decided to rest in the market square.She looked like she was in her forties, even though I knew she was way older than that.She looked so normal; you will never be able to tell that she is a werewolf. Even her
