Jean’s POV (Fully Clara)

I never meant to run away, but I had to. And I also never meant to come back, these people were so sweet, but my feet unexplainably dragged me back.

The moment I stepped into the packhouse, a silence settled around me, though the air itself was alive with subtle tension.

The wolves milling about paused mid-step, noses twitching, ears flicking as if sensing a presence they could not name.

Their instincts prickled, but their minds had no words for it. It was not fear as they knew it, not yet, but a disturbance, something unfamiliar yet undeniably potent.

I let my gaze sweep over them slowly, deliberately, the edges of my awareness probing, tasting the currents of unease that flowed through the room.

I moved with grace, every step measured, soft yet confident.

My eyes, fully black, caught the dim glimmers of the packhouse lights, reflecting them like dark pools that swallowed the illumination and returned only shadow.

Each wolf’s instinctive unease fed my ow

    Serena’s POVThe circle beneath me glowed brighter, pulsing with energy that hummed against my bones. I could feel the vibrations of the packhouse, the shouts, the struggle, the power clashing around me, but I forced myself to focus, to block out everything else. My hands moved in precise arcs, tracing symbols of protection, binding, and expulsion, the air thick with the scent of herbs and moonlit water.“Stay with me,” I muttered under my breath, eyes locked on Clara, who was now thrashing and snarling at the edges of the circle. Her shadow stretched and twisted, dark tendrils lashing out like serpents seeking prey. Every time she moved, the energy from her struck against the circle like a hammer against iron.Lexi shouted from the side, “Serena, be careful! She is stronger than we thought!”I did not look at her, did not let my attention waver. “I know,” I said, voice steady, though a tension coiled in my chest that I refused to acknowledge. “This is why we do it together.”Manny

    Clara’s POV (through Jean)Can't say I was shocked when they bursted into my house. I expected it, but not this soon. Apparently I had underestimated them to an extent, I would have been a lot more prepared, buy well… I felt the first tug of restraint and instinctively fought against it, every muscle coiling like a spring ready to snap.More hands gripped me, Lexi, Jax, several of the guards, and I knew they thought they could hold me and that they could control me. They were wrong. The dark tendrils of my power surged through me, thrumming like live wires under my skin.“You think you can contain me?” I spat, keeping my voice low and venomous, echoing against the walls of the packhouse. I twisted violently in the hold of one guard, sending him sprawling backward with a sharp crack as his shoulder hit the floor. “Pathetic.”Another guard lunged, and I lashed out, a flicker of darkness bursting from my hands, making him stumble back. The air around me seemed to thrum with energy,

    Lexi’s POV“Come here….”I ushered Wayne, Dexter and Nia quickly down the narrow stone steps, the shadows of the packhouse wrapping around us like a protective cocoon. A few female elders were waiting, tense but steady, ready to watch over them. “Stay here,” I said, voice firm but gentle, trying to mask the fear clawing at my insides. “Do exactly what I told you. No one comes up here until I return.” The kids nodded, their eyes wide, Nia was trembling, the others stiff with determination. I swallowed, forcing the tremor from my voice, and handed them over to the eldest elder. Once they were safely hidden, I turned to the passageway, dark and winding, leading deeper into the underground halls of the packhouse. Jax was already there, leaning against the wall, silent but alert. His eyes met mine, a flicker of worry there I could not ignore.“We don’t have much time,” I said, moving closer. “Jean or Clara… she’s stronger than we thought. We need to be precise.”Jax nodded, his jaw tig

    Jean’s POV (Clara inside)The classroom was unusually still that morning, the usual hum of chatter and shuffling feet replaced by a tense quiet. I walked among the children, Jean’s body moving as I commanded, a calm, unshakable smile painted across my face. Beneath it, Jean’s true self shivered in a corner of my mind, a faint spark trying to push back against the overwhelming darkness that now claimed the rest of me.“Class, today we will explore the connection between energy and willpower,” I said, voice serene, even melodic, concealing the storm within. The children looked up, attentive, but Nia’s eyes drew my focus immediately. Her pupils shimmered with that same golden hue I had taught her to recognize, energy coiling around them like living strands. She was unaware of just how much power she was channeling, how much of it was feeding me, but I reveled in it. Every flicker of golden light bolstered me, reminded me that I controlled not just my host but the very essence of thi

    Jax’s POVThe nightmares had started a few nights ago, creeping in no matter how exhausted I was, no matter how tightly I tried to block them out. In the last few days, I had been drained, physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. Handling the affairs of the pack due to Manny's illness and my love for Lexi too, seeing her tending to Manny always made me vexed but I kept masking it hoping and waiting. Psychologically, dealing with the return of Clara too had it's toll on me and I had suddenly become paranoid. Each time I had the dream, the vision was the same, Serena lying in the center of the exorcism circle, light flickering weakly across her skin, shadows writhing around her, and Clara’s laughter, cold and triumphant, echoing in every corner of my mind. I woke drenched in sweat, trembling, unable to breathe, and every time I thought it was over, sleep brought it back, I had the dream about four nights in a row now and I had to let someone know.That morning, I c

    Danny’s POVIt had been days since I made the choice to return to the pack, days filled with quiet dread and the weight of Kiran’s shadow lingering in my veins. The first morning back, the sun barely rising, a pair of guards blocked my way as I stepped onto the porch of the packhouse. They eyed me carefully, concern evident in the way their brows furrowed.“Where have you been, Danny?” one asked, his voice low but edged with worry. I could feel the undercurrent of suspicion, the tension in their posture.I forced a weary smile, hiding the turmoil in my chest. “I went to see someone,” I said casually, shrugging as if it were nothing, though every word felt heavy on my tongue. “Nothing to worry about.”Their eyes searched mine, uncertain, and for a moment I could almost see them picking at the truth, sensing the lie. I let them linger in that confusion for a heartbeat too long before moving past them, pretending ignorance, walking into the house as though nothing had changed.Inside,
