Clary could feel her heart flutter as she spotted Ace in the car. She glanced at Levi who had a look of worry mixed with fear on his face. “That’s Ace, isn’t it?” She asked him but he did not verbally reply to her, he only nodded weakly. “Crap, crap, crap,” Levi mumbled under his breath as he honked the horn of the car. He knew that Ace was not going to move, the alpha was way too stubborn for that, but he at least had to try. “Can we just talk with him?” Clary suggested as she adjusted herself in her seat. Levi scoffed and then shook his head. “You want me to talk to the guy that punched me during the Royal Ball just because I asked him for you to sit with me?” Clary gave him a look and then replied, “Come on now, I heard what you said to him.” Levi wet his lips and then rocked his jaws for a few seconds while staring at Ace’s car parked right in front of their way out. “Okay, yeah, but still…Ace is not to be messed with when he’s pissed,” he informed Clary. He honked on the ho
The stones broke the window at the back of Levi’s car as he pressed on the gas hard, causing the car to speed out of the compound and past Ace. The glass had shattered, the shards projecting right to the front seats.Clary’s heart pounded in her chest and she flinched away from the shards that were shot at her but she was too late; a few of them hit her, causing a small tear on her left arm.Levi kept speeding away until he was a good and safe distance from the compound, but mainly, from Ace. “Gosh!” He exclaimed as he tried to calm down. He could feel the adrenaline rushing through his veins. He glanced at Clary and asked, “That was crazy. Are you okay?” Clary could feel the pinching pain on her left arm but she nodded and replied, “I’m okay, just keep driving.” She forced a smile. She had seen Ace angry and break things before but had never seen him try to hurt someone. “Are you sure?” “Yeah, yeah, I’m fine,” She replied in a small voice and then glanced at her arm. She could se
Clary stood by the stairs as her heart bled. She should have been used to people calling her trash and good-for-nothing by now, but the pain still felt fresh and sharp each time it happened. A tear slid down her face and she wiped it away quickly as a maid walked past her. “Good evening, ma’am,” The maid greeted Clary. Clary sniffled and smiled even though her chest still burned from what she had just heard Levi’s sister say about her. “Good evening,” She replied. “Are you okay? Would you like me to get Alpha Levi?” “No!” Clary was quick to respond, not even missing a beat. “I’m fine, thank you,” She said in a small voice as she sniffled once more. “Are you sure?” The maid asked again. She could clearly see that the omega was not okay. Clary nodded. “Yes, thanks.” She forced a small smile. The maid nodded slowly and then excused herself, leaving Clary on the stairs. “Lola, I swear if you talk like that about my guest again, I would kick you out,” Clary heard Levi threaten his
As Clary struggled to get out of the strong grip of Lola’s wolf, her mind immediately reminded her of when she was being choked by her dad when she had told him about going to the Moon festival.Tears streamed from her eyes freely and she tried to fight her way out but Lola’s wolf was way too strong. Her lungs began crying for air and her chest had a tight sensation. Right now was when she needed her wolf, but like always, it was quiet. “Please, I need your help,” She begged her wolf in her head, and almost instantly, she felt a strength that steadily grew. Her bones began to ache and grow, breaking and twisting. But then it all stopped. She felt the strength flee away and she became limp as Lola squeezed her throat even tighter. “That would teach you to never disrespect me again,” Lola said and then finally let go of Clary when she saw that the omega was about to lose consciousness. She allowed Clary to slump to the floor and watched her as she coughed and gasped for air. Lola th
Clary went silent for a few seconds and tried to take in the information. She could not tell if Mr. Clark was lying or not. But she knew that he had no reason to lie to her. But again, he did lie to her about her mom the first time. And that was unprovoked. “How do I know that you’re not lying to me?” Clary asked. Her depression simmered down a bit and a flicker of hope filled her. “You lied to me the first time about her, why should I believe you now?” Mr. Clark cleared his throat and then said, “I’m sorry that I lied to you the first time, I should not have. I just did not want you to hate me. But I think keeping you in the dark will hurt any chance at a relationship between us, than telling the whole truth.” “Okay,” Clary dragged the word, encouraging him to tell her what he needed to. She was very intrigued and her curiosity was begging to hear what Mr. Clark had to say. “Your mom did not die. I was the one that drove her away; kicked her out of the pack, to be exact. She was
Clary opened the door of the car and got down. A few eyes fell on her, and normally, she would have felt insecure, shy, or self-conscious, but it was much different. She was not concerned about the people looking at her getting out of a very expensive car, she was more concerned about the waiter that was serving a couple on the right side of the restaurant; her mom. She kept staring at the lady but quickly looked away and walked into the restaurant to not make it too obvious. The place was packed and had a lot of people, but she was soon escorted to a table at the back. Clary sat down and adjusted the dress she was wearing. She touched a hair for a few seconds and waited for a waiter so she could order. Yes, she was hungry, but she barely wanted to eat. She was way too excited to meet her real mom. She had dreamed of this moment forever. It was a beacon of hope for her to keep going on when life was hard and crappy. But when Mr. Clark told her that her mom was dead, her heart was
Clary woke up with a ringing in her head. Her throat felt dry and her mouth had a weird taste that she could not explain. The first thing she saw was the ceiling, she was laying on a bed; a not-so-big one. “She’s awake,” Someone said. “Get the doctor, she’s awake,” The person continued.Clary groaned lowly as she looked in the direction of the voice. She realized that it was her mom. And the person who went to get the doctor was Levi. “Where am I?” She croaked out. Her mom flashed her a small smile. “You’re in a hospital, dear. You lost consciousness,” She explained. Clary was confused, but her mind began to bring her memories back to life in seconds, causing her to remember everything. “I-I don’t understand. I was fine one second and then in the next, it was like I had drank a dozen bottles of alcohol.”“Yeah, I was there. It was sudden and very scary. But I’m sure you’re fine,” Sarah said to her daughter. She watched her on the bed and still could not believe that she had been gi
Clary allowed Ace to hold her hand. The moment their skin touched each other, it was like electricity. She felt her heart flutter as butterflies danced in her stomach. She could not help but smile. “Are you okay?” She asked him. Ace adjusted himself and sat on the bed as he kept holding Clary’s hand. He blinked a couple of times to make sure that he was not dreaming. He could not believe that she was back. “Yeah, yeah. Especially now that you’re here with me,” He said in a breathy way as he maintained eye contact with her. Selena felt like throwing up and she really wanted to say something; to stop whatever nonsense Ace was doing with Clary, but Mr. Clark must have noticed it because he gave her a small tap on her shoulder, so she kept quiet. Clary felt her cheeks warm up. She tried to break eye contact with Ace but it was hard. Her chest was filled with a warm and fuzzy feeling that she enjoyed. She cleared her throat gently and then finally spoke, “I believe that it’s the weaken
