Clarissa's POVIt is wonderful that my mate came back safely to me.You might think that I am a bitter bitch, but honestly, I wish they had failed in bringing her back. I wish they had come back alone.Sometimes this mating bond doesn't work in people's favor; assuming Liam was not mated to that bitch, he would have seen how evil she is.They say love is blind, but this time around, a mating bond can make you blind too.He has been bothering my Alpha to assist him in getting the bane of my existence back.Well, they did; congratulations to them. I pretended that I was okay with it, while hiding my disdain.I wish I could confidently tell him to reject her. I know Liam; the guy is a fucking baby and so gullible.Whenever I tell them who she is, the baby will never agree that the chameleon is evil.There was a time when my mate was like this too, and now his eyes are open.The day they came back, the bitch walked in majestically, taunting me.From her body language, I knew she was mo
"What are you talking about, my love?"I don't understand."Why didn't you tell me about meeting my grandfather?""Why did you hide it? It is not a big deal; you should have told me." I queried.He looked shocked for a while and swallowed hard upon hearing me say it to him."Where did you hear that from? Who told you?" he growled."Don't you dare growl at me; it doesn't cover up the fact that you hid it from me, you asshole," I yelled."It was that shadow witch who told you, right? Answer me," he yelled.He doesn't have the right to yell at me; I was the one who he hid something from. If he is reacting like this to it, then what am I supposed to do about this? He promised me that he wouldn't hide anything from me, so he goes ahead and does this. "Babe, I did not have bad intentions for hiding it; I have good reasons for it.""Okay, what are they? Tell me one good reason why you covered this up."I didn't want to upset you, my love; I honestly didn't."Feeling his emotions, I noticed m
Clarissa's POVI have seen my mate angry, but never this angry; he looked terrifying. I am afraid of him right now, even though his anger was not directed at me.It was as if smoke was coming out of his ears; he looked like he wanted to strangle her and was controlling himself from doing it.He grabbed her by the collar and pushed her off gently.Miranda landed on the wall with force.Liam looked horrified. He ran to his friend to help her up. He assisted her, taking care to look her over and see if she sustained any injuries.Satisfied that she wasn't injured, he looked at my mate with disdain."You could have killed her. Control your anger, Stephan, Control yourself before you kill someone." My mate looked bothered; I could see he didn't mean to hurt her.I think it was the force of his power that came out like that."Liam, he didn't mean to; it was a mistake." I intervened."Stay out of it, Clarissa," he warned.I know better than to get in between two angry brothers. I wanted to
Stephan's POV I was in my office discussing with my gamma about war strategies; we have to prepare ourselves for war. It has been a month now since I broke off my alliance with Shadow Pack and told their alpha to prepare for war.He will do that because he knows that I meant every word I said.I have been trying to avoid my brother since that incident happened. I don't want any issues with him again. He is my little brother and my beta, and I will always love him.I need to give him space so that he can get his head out of his mate's ass.We were almost done with our discussion when my friend ran inside, interrupting us. She looked troubled and restless. I became alarmed to see her in this state. "My love, what happened? You look like you have seen a ghost.""It is about the guards you stationed outside the pack.""What about them? What happened?" "They were attacked by the rogues today; only one of them survived." I was shocked to hear that. I stood up abruptly, bre
Clarissa's POVMy mate looked terrified when the physician, shook her head.I thought he was dead the minute she shook her head."Alpha, the poison inside his bloodstream is too strong; we need to do something to get it out, or else he will die," Mia said to him."What do we do to get it out?""We should focus on how to get the blood out, through where he was stabbed with the poisoned claw so that he will still be alive till the guy I sent to bring the drugs for me comes back with it."Stephan looked at his brother's face as if he were weighing the pros and cons.He instructed her to go ahead and do the necessary things needed to keep him alive."I just hope it hasn't gotten to his heart, alpha," Mia said to him.She took out her surgical knife, sterilized it, and cut a little opening in the side of his ribs that was stabbed with the poisoned claw.Black blood oozed out from there; she did not try to stop it; she allowed it to flow till she had gotten everything out.H
Stephan's POVI was inside the room waiting for my mate to join me when I heard a thud. I felt a weird feeling in my gut.It was as if I were being stabbed because of the pain I felt.A chill went through my spine.I knew instantly that something must have happened to my mate; I felt her pain.I prodded her mind to know what happened to her, but I felt nothing. I can break through her barrier any time she has her wall up.I heard a thud, and before I could react, someone screamed.I was horrified when I sensed what happened and perceived her blood.I ran outside; it seemed like I flew to her.Getting there, I saw her on the floor; she was bleeding on her head.I froze seeing her lifeless on the floor. I have been through this countless times, yet the experiences did not make me get used to it.I checked her body to see if she was bleeding anywhere else, but I did not see anything except on her head.I touched her vein; she was still breathing.I needed to get her treated
Clarissa's POVI was angry at Stephan and the fact that he just likened himself to a killer. Do his promises to me mean nothing to him?I waited for him to finish what he wanted to say."My love, back then I was stupid; I did not know you well then, and I thought no one could break my walls.""I did not know that you would tear it down."I made that bet with my brother and my close friend because I saw you as a pest. I brought you home because I needed you.""I promise you, love, it is not the same anymore.I love you with my soul; I don't want to exist without your love.""The bet is off love; it doesn't exist anymore.""Then does that mean that you will give up in your quest to destroy the Shadow Pack?""No, love, I won't ever give up on it.""I have waited so long for this particular moment.""I need to do this for my people; it doesn't matter who gets hurt in the process.""Stephan, you will be killing the innocent pups; those pups are innocent like me; they did not ask for
Clarissa's POVPower from him pushed me down; I fell flat on the floor, shaken.I tried looking at his icy blue eyes, but I couldn't. Power oozed out of his body; he was way stronger than I am. He must be an alpha.The man looked like he was in his fifties; he had white hair, blue eyes, and a chiseled jaw. I could sense that he was a wolf. He is gorgeous for a man his age. I know that he is way older than that, but you will never know.There is something about him that sent chills down my spine, giving me goosebumps.I wanted to speak, but it seems he is stopping me from doing that.I fought it with all my strength; being weak now means that I will die.The man still wore a smile on his face; instead of the smile being warm, it looked creepy to me and gave me jitters."Can you stop that?" I asked with anger.He smiled. 'Stop what, girl?""Using your power like that, if you want to kill me, go ahead. Stop tormenting me." I scowled."That is not how to talk to your alpha, little girl."
