Chapter 26CLAIRE.the hand shook at me causing me to stand stiff wondering who it could be, but then again the scent seems too familiar, the same as that conniving bitch down.I turn instantly to find Delilah staring at me with tears in her eyes, her face swollen and having dark circles beneath them.Her cheeks are red flags as well as her nose which seemed to be running, it's easy to note that she had been crying all through."What's wrong?" I ask out of impulse , although I'm worried about her I still make a mental note to stay away from her,after all there is more to her than everyone seems to see.I've known her to be mischievous and somehow wicked but seeing her play the role of the major villain in my past life makes my skin crawl on sight of her.Although I try as much as possible to remind myself constantly of the fact that it was our previous life and not the current one.We could avoid any harm coming our way if we all decide to work things out and directly, not pushing any
Chapter 27CLARISSA."Why so soon?" I ask dad, he had no reason in particular apart from the fact that he had finished the work process Andis done with the alliance, yet still I find it somehow suspicious.He was the one who had brought up the idea of me coming along with him before I made a decision to find my mate.Although I can't remain in Carlin's paco forevermore and I can't keep the fact that we are mated hidden for long as well I just can't turn blind eyes to my father's words neither can I rant ok about the whole o anyone yet until it's all sorted out."When are we to leave?" I ask father unsure of what to do, perhaps I could buy us some more time but for now I need to be out of his sight in order to get straight thinking and clear head."Immediately after breakfast, that should be to say goodbye to anyone you know in the pack" I listen to him but I can't lash out, the most I can do is keep in my rage."Okay father, have a nice night" I bid him farewell before walking out o
Chapter 28CLARISSA.seeing the look on his face marks it as the truth, he isn't speaking back or defending himself all he does is stare at threshold and I.Like a fool I had believed everything he said and he had Led me on, I do not know if it's a hobby or a recent attitude of his.Here he is in the woods dark at night with Delilah even when he knows how much of a threat she is to us.Nothing matters to him, each time I get played by him, I feel hurt and I'm scared pretty bad of him.I've never for once given him a reason to doubt me but here I am each time forgiving him and keeping a close mind to anything which he has to say.I feel like a food but what choice do I have other than to act calm and cool, it would be of no use to embarrass myself before him and his mistress.It's way too firm to handle but I swallow hard,he isn't trying to stop me or confront me which simply means he has no intentions of seeking forgiveness or getting things right with me.I nod slowly, my eyes dart
Chapter 29THRESHOLD.everything seems to be going accordingly, so smooth and easy like I had all it would.Although I had planned a few things and expected Raya, the lady I had set up with Carlin to be there.I had planned the whole coup all along,althy I might have exaggerated a bit while I explained the part to Clarissa. I'm human. I could not help but spice the truth up a tad bit.She fell for it in a swoop which meant she had been having simple and little doubts about Carlin, how am I to blame her? Who would not?That Bastard loves playing the too good to be true role which eyebrows for suspicions.I had expected her to throw tantrums and seek explanations, I took the risk of lying to her hoping it would never be found out.The only thing which remained a deep dark past of Carlin's is that he had always been every woman's eye.They wanted him, be it human, be it wolf, be it the vampires as well,it made him go haywire at some point and he really did go wild and all out with his
Chapter 30DELILAH.Just like the moon goddess was on my side, I had clashed into raya, she looked restless and confused, scared as well I could note that.Of course I seemed to be confused about the whole thing, wondering why she's all so worked up so I had approached her,I didn't want to leave her all to herself, wanting to know why she looked so dreadful, she was shy at first and reluctant to speak.She insisted she was fine but stressed from having to work for a while, raya was just like me, a lady who would not take no for an answer,String, fearless and smart, but she had a weakness, a weakness I would never have. One that would ruin her any minute it wanted to.She was in love with threshold.Growing up which I can barely say as all my life I've known threshold to be some sort of prick.He likes fooling around with feeble minded wolves, just as well I had known raya and I have to say she ought to be mated to Greg as they would both make a fine couple.Raya had slaved away all
Chapter 31CARLIN"Delilah, what am I to do?" I asks as I approaches her, holding firm to her shoulders and staring directly into her orbs causing her to swallow hardShe smiles a little,pulls me towards herself and engulfs me in a hug, she oats me carefully on my head, burying her hands deep into my hair.Little did I know I'll end up feeling the discomfort I tried to put her out of a few minutes ago.Her hug feels so nice and warm, she is reciprocating all I had done earlier.I didn't know just a little thing could help me reach this milestone.I knew something like this could happen but I had no idea it would be so soon, finally the minute of truth had come.I've always dreaded the day if I have to tell her all about my past, my love life in the past, the mistakes I had made and what I fear not to do again.But I've always thought Clarissa is much of a person who judges, how am I to explain to her that I had let go of my past love all because my father didn't want me holding on to
Chapter 32CARLIN.ITs funny how the whole night fizzled out so quickly that it's morning already.I'm the type that hardly cries but still I felt my heart ache all through the night till I was finally asleep.Sleep has such a magical touch, it took away all my worries and my anxiety.Little did I know it will be morning so soon, here I am facing my fears once again.The pain seeping in more than before, I clutch at my shirt, straightening the edges as I take one last glance and long look at myself in the mirror.This sit hw last day I'll be seeing Clarissa, this is the last day I'll get to speak with her casually.I must not lie to her or make any unnecessary moves, actions or speeches.She had left when I was at my lowest point, it's my loss and she ought to understand that but she left without giving me a chance to explain myself.She did say something about being in love with Mr and trusting me no matter what, age promised we will pull through together.One single clash, a single
Chapter 33DELILAH.so far so good, things had been looking really well, hearing Carlin speak made my skin crawl with excitement, I've never been the type to think threshold had anything sorta that could be called brains but seeing this little plan of his work so fine could make me applaud him.Although I know we'll ignore everything because she saw me there,if it had been raya she might not have bothered herself so much and this made me feel so great and better.To know that she's insecure around me and always on her toes, to know how scared she is that I might snatch her mate away from her right under her nose.And why not? Why can't I? Why should I not? I see no reason why they keep bugging me, saying silly ass stuff like mates are soul mates, they deserve to be together and they are like the earth pulling gravity Instead of just being straight to the point.What silly ass earth pulling gravity?I've seen people survive without mates, they call it some shitty earth pulling gravit
