Evelyn's POV
I couldn't just sit around and wait for them to rescue Clara. I had to do something plus with our powers being barely working we were just in danger like any other.
"I'll be back," I mumbled, not letting myself noticeable.
I left the house, walking fast to the dungeons area where he was locked in a cell.
I took a cautious look around for any guards and rushed inside, the underground. Lucky for me, there weren't any guards for the time being.
Even if they will be around, I can use the 'Alpha's sister' card. Perks of being the sister of an Alpha. But that wasn't my priority worry.
What I really thought was he might not be a bad person. I was actually coming to believe that maybe all this time I was being paranoid but my sixth sense on him being nothing but our enemy was true.
Yet it hurts. It hurts like heck. I can't show it because I don't want others to be worried about me. That i
Evelyn's POV"What do you want?" Xavier grunted, lifting his head to take a better look at me."Want something to eat?" I mocked him.He let out a chuckle, "I see what you did there." He rolled around, laying on his back as he stared at me upside down.I gave a fake snort, "Glad you noticed.""Aww, aren't you cute?" Xavier awed, chuckling lightly.I don't know how he got the audacity to laugh at such a miserable situation he's stuck in.I avoided his compliment, thinking it probably was just as fake as him. I am not gonna fall for his tactics."How does it feels to live in a prison cell?" I asked in a mocked tone but he answered as I crouched down, staring at his chuckling beames face.The way it was creating bubbles in the pit of my stomach was not helping. I should've attended the drama club to act better."Now that you're here, it's nice." Xavier smiled cheekily.Oh, gosh
Clara's POVOkay, things seem pretty weird but I ended up believing every word of Ivy and I hope he's not a shapeshifter because then I'll have to risk using the silver on him and probably harm my real brother."How can we be sure he's not a shapeshifter?" Ivan asked as I sat beside him in the backseat.I was too afraid of sitting in the front, giving the probable shapeshifter the chance of harming me or being in a close radius to his."I don't know. I thought shapeshifters die from silver, you know by piercing it into their hearts. What I read in that book sounded way different from what I imagined." I whispered to him, searching for my pocket knife."Well, silver can kill the weak shapeshifter. Plus, we used it in a high amount. As for their alpha, his heart needs to be pierced with the silver knife.""You got those back at home?" My fingers touched the tip of my pocket knife that probably was rotting inside.
Clara's POVIvy pointed at the empty land ahead of the packhouse and a man standing alone as he jerked his head around looking for strawberries maybe?Oh, no. It's just me being hungry."Hey, he looks like Ivy," Ivan said, watching the man from the window as we didn't exit the car yet.I took into the notice of his features from afar which was easy as I gained back my powers early; advantageous for having a twin bond.My eyes widened as the kind of reaction would facial my features, I quickly yelped in a whisper."Ivy, get inside the car fast!" He didn't question any further and walked rounding the car and jumping into the driver's seat. "Hurry, will you old gramps."He scoffed, sneaking his way in and disappearing from the fake Ivy's sight."Okay, what is going on? Are you gonna tell me clearly without any bickering?" He asked, turning serious along with the baf
Clara's POVIt doesn't take a genius to guess what's happening here or what they are seeing because we surely weren't some mannequins who were able to move and our every movement was watched with pure shock on their faces who wouldn't shut their gaping mouths and blink their eyes."Keep doing whatever you guys were doing. We're just gonna go from here." I said in a whisper, waving my hand dismissal in air.Janice got up, silence roaming in the atmosphere. Even Ruby and my mother-in-law were here. What did those shapeshifters fill in their mind?I waited as Janice stared at me then, shifting her eyes from me to Ivy as her breathing picked up and she ran up to him."Ivy!" Janice called, jumping on him with a hug."Hey! What does this mean?" I asked, baffled with their interaction.And I do not want my best friend near my dumb brother."You both need to come up with a new insulting nickname. He
Clara's POV"The amount of hatred I got the building for them is higher than that Burj Khalifa or the Mt. Everest or- You get what I mean right?" I exasperated in agitation to which Janice nodded understandingly."This is the right time to take your revenge." Janice encouraged me as I tied the one end of the cloth rope to the bed and the other throwing it out of the window."I'm going to kill every single one of them," I growled, looking down for a clear coast. "You coming?" I asked her."Heck yeah. We're like the three musketeers. All for one and one for all. Obviously I'm coming." She said, offended."Cool! Just what I needed but don't die on me. None of us are dying. Got it?" I said, waiting for the agreement from her side.She nodded, getting up to get behind me and climb out. "Um... I just realized something.""What? That Ivy is not your mate and you hate him." I asked in anticipation."What, no!" It was a lucky try. "We can break the door and get out, you know." She pointed at th
Clara's POVMy vision was blurring and what's worse that I couldn't get ahold of anything. I thought this might be it."Let me takeover!" Eclipse shouted.I choked, letting my body freely absorb in the dark as I couldn't even reply to Eclipse until his hand loosened the grip around my neck was I able to breathe again."Clara!" Ivan picked my frail body, patting my cheek as he tried to wake me up.I coughed, gulping, and trying to get back to my senses. "I-I'm okay." I choked out.I cleared my throat, rubbing my neck that still felt the pain from the pressure that the guy added. It's gonna leave a scar, I guess."I told you to stay inside! Something bad could've happened to you." Ivan started scolding the first thing after I stood on my feet, perfectly well.Not entirely perfect.I rolled my eyes, rubbing my nape, "If you have to scold me then do it later. We are in the middle of
Clara POVI don't know how long it's been but the argument increased and instead of others fighting and eliminating each other, they were rather sitting and watching.Physically sitting and watching it. I mean it.We aren't any cinema theatre."Can't we come to the conclusion that both men and women are needed for each other?" Jace whined, keeping me a safe distance away from Ivy because we looked like we would jump on each other.Any minute now."No!" We both simultaneously shouted at Jace.Poor him. He always used to get stuck between my fights with any other being. But he still stuck up to me."Will you both stop already??" Jace groaned, standing between us as he towered me."He should withdraw. He was the one who started it." I accusingly pointed at Ivy."Excuse me! I won't withdraw first!" Ivy snickered."Why? Because your ego will be hurt?" I laughed as his face gaped
Clara's POVI hate everyone right now.When I say everyone, I didn't exclude anyone except for Eclipse because she didn't do anything bad to me.Yet, because she can be insulting me the next second or minute or an hour or day or month or year or eternity. The list would go on but me still escalating in the air won't stop!"Ivy, I beg you. Kill the ugly filthy lady! I can't go up and down every single second!" I complained, crying in vain for someone to come up and escape me from such torture."I'm doing that! Stop disturbing me, Clara!" Ivy said, dodging her throwing a knife at him. "I almost got killed."I looked for another alternative, being in the air wasn't some pleasure though I could feel some fresh air, but I wasn't on a picnic.My eyes landed on a tree a few feet away from me. Maybe I could use it to climb down. But how do I reach it there?"Swim in the air?" Eclipse suggested,
