Clara“So please, tell us. Who is it?”The Omega licked her bottom lip before opening it to finally say the name. I waited to hear something from her, but before she could successfully utter a word, blood instead spilled out of her mouth.She lost consciousness and her body fell right into my arms. I tapped her back to wake her up, but there was no response.My heart raced as a thought entered my mind.Carter had helped me get her body up. Holding onto her shoulders, he pinned her back against the wall behind.“Hold her. I’ll check her breathing,” I instructed Carter which he quickly attended to.My hands began to tremble as I lifted my right hand and placed it on her chest. I was just hoping for the best that I could be able to feel her breathing because she couldn’t die.She’s the only one capable of pointing out the culprit.But as my palm lay flat over her chest, I didn’t even have to check it twice. There was no heartbeat anymore.“She’s dead,” I mumbled.My both shoulders slumpe
SamuelI wouldn’t want to admit it but my mind was blown away to hear Clara asking me to leave. I already did what she wanted and made the Pack doctor leave but she doesn’t seem to be satisfied.She appeared to forget whom she was talking to with the tone of her voice.“Do you want Caleb to be saved or not?”Her question sounded like nothing but a threat. And I could have snarled at her face for asking too many things from her Alpha, but I needed Caleb to be cured as soon as possible. I’ve got to let this pass in order to save Caleb.“The answer is yours, Alpha,” she even added with a jeer.I cleared my throat and warned her, “Don’t do anything stupid, and do everything to save him.”Before I could shut the door, Clara tilted her head and waved me a playful goodbye. My jaw clenches with how annoying she is before I bang the door shut.“That woman had turned clever out of the blue,” I muttered to myself as I leaned by the door I had just closed.I should have already left a couple of m
ClaraMy eyes were locked, staring at nowhere as I carefully listened to every word Samuel and Carter utter from outside the cabin.Regardless of not having a wolf, I still have werewolf blood running through my veins. The sharpened senses werewolves have still apply to me although mine wasn’t sharpened.Moreover, it’s not like Samuel and Carter were cautious that somebody might hear them as they were actually talking casually. No one would even bother to listen to them anyways. Being an Alpha took him away from the rest of normal werewolves. Only those higher ranked werewolves had the chance to get close to Samuel.I found myself nodding as I came to realize one thing. All throughout this time, I thought Samuel just doesn’t give a damn about me. But I was wrong because he noticed every bit of change I had.Hearing their conversation only made me torn. Because It looks like it’s not only Samuel who noticed.While I was eavesdropping on the conversation ongoing outside, Donna was keepi
SamuelNothing but pure sickening and nausea was all I could feel with how Clara was suddenly acting. My stomach was churning so bad with her looks and touches.For that brief moment, I realized that I was completely mistaken for thinking she had truly changed. She was still the same old pathetic, crazy, and disgusting Clara who was heads over heels to me.“Fine, tomorrow evening. Now, get out of my fucking way,” I bluntly responded before shoving her out fo my way.I had a lot of important things to attend on and she’s wasting my time with her fucking crazy ideas. Because why the hell would she invite me for dinner?!She may not haven’t yet to accept my rejection, but there’s no way I would change my mind about it.With a smirk stretching into my lips, I continue to walk away from her. Of course I only agreed to her invitation to make Clara stop bothering me. I had no plans on attending such stupid dinner with her at all.I’d rather spend my time alone for the rest of my life than to
ClaraI was up early in the morning and decided to get ready right away. Just when Donna arrived, she was surprised to see me up and ready.“Luna, you’re awake…and ready for the day?” amusement was audible in her voice.Since Omegas had their different headquarters, that is where Donna slept. Although she sometimes stays with me especially if I am sick or I simply need her. She usually doesn’t stay overnight.However, she will leave after I’m asleep and get back next morning before I was even awake. But today’s different.“What’s the matter?” she asked, still puzzled.“You’ll know later, Donna,” I sang and winked at her.She just shrugged in response.I patiently waited until the sun came out before I brought Donna with me as we made our way upstairs to the Pack mansion.“Where are we heading, Luna?” Donna was hesitant to take a step up the stairs.It’s not like I’m not allowed to go upstairs, but mainly because I never usually go up there.Looking back at Donna, I smiled, “I’ll remin
ClaraAll I could do was gulp because of my throat that was running dry.I knew I was already fucked up. Samuel was raging in anger because who wouldn’t? He was played and fooled by none other than someone like me. No one would take this easy especially given his huge and unreachable ego and pride.While I was helplessly on the ground, I was forced to gather myself at least just to sit down. I was crawling with the intention to keep myself as far from Samuel as possible.But it was already too late to flee because Samuel had already squatted down in front of me. He yanked my wrist back to where I was just a minute ago.He wasn’t satisfied until I was close enough for me to feel his heavy breathing on my nose.“You wanted to play with me?! Play with my feelings as if you are someone significant in my life?!” I couldn’t even utter a word. All of my courage had backed down seeing him this mad.Shutting my eyes, my both shoulders vibrated with Samuel’s rough and deafening shout.“Answer
ClaraWe were both taken back, unable to think straight on what would be the best thing to do given the awkward situation.I was looking up at Samuel while he just stared back at me in return. No one bothers to break the deafening silence or even just move a muscle. Until a voice appeared from the door.“Alpha?”Samuel was brought back to reality because of the man’s voice calling for him. He grabbed the towel that was on the floor and wrapped it back onto his waist.“What? What is it?” He attended to the man outside without even thinking of helping me.I helped myself up, hissing with my aching feet and legs. Limping, I slowly made my way out.The guard was definitely surprised to see me walking out from the inside while I limped.“That hurts,” I groaned.“Hey,” Samuel called, flicking his finger onto the guard whose eyes were locked with mine. “What is it?”“Alpha, the Luna Queen is wishing to see you.” He handed him something.I was in an unimaginable amount of pain to even give a
ClaraWhile Samuel decided to stay with his grandmother, I, on the other hand, started to roam around the Pack mansion. I am on my way to my father’s room as Samuel gave what he promised.We had a house outside the Pack mansion but as far as I know after I left him alone here, he had stayed with the Packhouse, too. He was the Alpha’s Beta after all. So he had his place here.I could still remember the day I left. The way he told me he won’t be staying in our home for too long because he might just miss me even more.This would be the first time to see him after I moved into the White Hunter Pack after getting married to Samuel.Excitement wasn’t enough to describe how ecstatic I was feeling.Just when I was about to knock onto the door, it already pulled open and my father stepped out of it. I welcomed him with a warm hug which he returned, caressing my back.“Alpha Arthur was right, you really are coming.”I smiled as I heard the glee with his deep voice.“Yes, Father, Samuel had vis
SamuelI don’t know what’s gotten to me. I wanted to tell Clara about how the pack elders had already turned their backs on me because as much as possible, I don’t want to hide anything from her. I trust her so much, but I don’t want to add more burden onto her shoulders. She’s already doing too much for the pack. But the guilt that I was having for not telling her is getting far more question
ClaraThe night had already set so deep, the moon was up high and looming bright into the window of my room that I left open. The cold breeze outside blew so hard that all of the papers I had sitting on my table for a while now flew. I sighed, watching all of them scatter onto the floor while I rested my back on the chair’s backrest. I yawned, my eyes getting heavier each second and my head aching.
SamuelWhen the outbreak happened, I was determined not to tell Clara and bring her closer to another danger just after she almost died. Not for her, but for me because I don’t want to go through the same exact situation where I hold her in my arms as she bleeds to the brink of death. Having that kind of fear is something I would avoid for the rest of my life. But, things didn’t go according to my plan. The disease got worse and half of our population were infected. I never knew I’d need her much as I depend on her now. That first night, just right after she recovered, when she found out about the disease outbreak, I’ve never seen her sleep anymore. Every single night, I would watch her drown herself into the endless bunch of papers, studying how to end this virus. On mornings, she takes rounds into the area we isolated only for members who have the disease. Seeing her trying her best to prolong each person’s life while risking her’s made me accept one thing: she’s not the Clara I
ClaraI spent another day lying on the mattress as if I was a disabled person. Boredom was slowly filling me as time went by. My routine seems static: I will wake up, get checked by the pack doctor, eat, drink my medicines and go back to sleep.“Why is Donna not visiting me?” I asked out of pure wonder. For sure, she was the first to realize I left the pack that night. She was probably the one who informed Samuel about it. I just couldn’t help but to wonder that it’s been days since I woke up and she never bothered to show up…not even once. “She’s busy,” Samuel briefly answered. Aside from the pack doctor, only him regularly visited me every single day. It’s not like I was expecting more people to come by, but the only person I expected to be with me at times like these vanish like a dust into thin air. “Busy? How?” I sat down on the mattress, my brows shot up at Samuel. “Who would she be busy with? I’m right here, so Do–” “She’s got other work to do, okay?” Samuel abruptly cuts
Clara Just as what the old lady promised, she accompanied me to the peak of the Valley to get the plant I needed. Being with her made my way a lot easier. With her expertise with medicine, she got everything we needed to outplay the monsters blocking our way. I’ve never had the chance to a
SamuelIn the middle of the deep night, where everyone is definitely resting, Carter came banging my door, telling me Clara left. The news was so sudden that I was immediately awakened from my sleep. “Left? Why? Where did she go?” Carter was lost for words on how to respond to my unending questions. “How long has she been gone?” I kept on asking as we made our way down the pack mansion’s lobby. “Donna said the last time she got to see Luna Clara was before dinner.” I asked Clara to join me for dinner and this is what she did? Left?“Ask one set of our warriors to track her down immediately,” I ordered, but as if I said nothing Carter just stood before me, confused. “What? That’s an order. Move!” Probably because of the urgency in my head-splitting voice, Carter then moved. Donna, Clara’s personal servant was by the pack’s veranda, anxiously pacing back and forth. “Out of everyone here, you should know where Clara is planning on going.” “Alpha,” she exhaled, bowing her head.
ClaraMy steps were big and rapid as I made sure my sight was fixed ahead of me. I overheard Samuel calling for me. I know he’s just behind me, probably running after me. So as if I heard nothing, I kept on striding forward. It wasn’t so long when Samuel gave up. His voice eventually fades and my will to look back at him is growing bigger but I fight that urge and walk back straight to the packhouse until I get myself inside my room. I feel bad about leaving so abruptly because I know what it takes for him to push himself to say those words—to actually thank me. But I was just as well caught off guard at the moment. Blowing out a sigh to remove those thoughts building up in my head, I didn’t waste any more time and began packing up. I need to have a clear head, not to think about this twice but to make sure I am in the right mind to decide things. I am leaving. And I need to leave before tomorrow. After making sure I’ve got everything I will be needing for my trip, I hid the bag
Samuel“Are you really fit to work, Alpha?” My sharp stare shifted back to Carter who remained standing in front of my table. “I was stabbed, not paralyzed.” Clicking his tongue was the only thing he could do before he ended up nodding. I drifted my focus back onto the papers before me. “There’s actually nothing to work with, Alpha. Luna Clara made sure everything was settled. She handled the pack too—” “So you’re now her Beta?” I bitterly chuckled. “I’m just saying that she did more than enough. Treating you and managing the pack? That’s a lot to do.” Blowing out a deep sigh, I cleared out every piece of paper on top of my table and faced Carter with the back of my palm supporting my chin. “It seems like you and Clara were such good friends now, huh?” His brows furrowed until he nodded. “Then, why don’t you, as my Beta, ask her to talk to me. How does it sound to you?” “I’m on it.” “Just tell her I’m conducting a meeting with the pack elders so she won’t think I need her th
Clara“What the hell is wrong with you? I won’t beg, if that’s what you’re thinking…” Samuel’s voice minimized as I walked away from the door until I heard his heavy receding steps. I don’t know how to take it, seeing doubt along with shock through his eyes. I am so done with him, but the Goddess knew how much I wanted to be proud to see him finally getting back on his right mind. That he actually is now doubting Alice and everybody else around him. Alice truly changed him, I know that too well. I watched him go from wise to a literal stupid as he slowly allowed Alice to enter his life. I was a nobody to Samuel before she even showed up and I remained the same when she came. I already have a clear understanding that no matter what I do, nothing will change. Just as how sorry I am for the death of his parents that my adoptive father caused, I could never bring them to life. He loathed me and no matter how much I tried, he will never forgive me for the things I didn’t do. Perhaps
