Clarie's POV A musky smell of pine with chocolate filled my nose, making me lose concentration on the dance floor. Where I was, the musky smell was so strong and I couldn't stop myself from wanting to get more of it. Inside of my tummy cringed as I began to feel very giddy. I didn't know why the feeling was there but I felt it and it was intense. I couldn't understand what was happening but I knew that I was being drawn to the smell and as I moved, the scent increased I was on the dance floor, having a dance with the future Alpha of Crimson Pack. I hated dancing but I had no other choice, I had to stay and dance with him because my dad had asked me to. How I hated going to such gatherings held for only the high ranked werewolves but who am I to say otherwise? My father is the Alpha of Blemish pack, making me a high ranked werewolf. My dance partner Luca spinned me around and the intense smell of pine and chocolate came again, getting me more distracted. I turned my head around a

Claire Pov I was in my room when my maid rushed in, looking startled. I raised an eyebrow at her while I watched her breath heavily like a chased rat. She had her hand on her chest while she breathed. "Please tell me you didn't run a meter miles just to tell me nothing." I said, a bit less concerned. "My princess, you won't understand." She said, still breathing heavily. "So make me understand." "I was at the market when I heard the news." I was a bit interested in what she was about to say, despite not knowing what she was actually talking about. "What news?" I asked. "He's in the territory, and he just arrived a few minutes ago." She said, "Who's that?" I asked, inquisitively. "Alpha Nathan." She replied. On hearing the name, I stood up from the couch. "Where is he heading to now?" "To the palace." She notified me. "Only him, or does he have more people with him?" I asked. "There are only two convoid cars approaching here. So no, it's not just him alone." I couldn't exp

Chapter 5 Claire POV (2 Days Later) Putting the brush into the bucket of soapy water, I scrubbed the ground. My fingers were hurting and I had turned red in anger an pain. My little siftbhands moved the brush up and down as I cleaned the floor and cried. It's only been two days with Aohw Nathan and I had turned to a slave. I'm a servant in my mates pack and I hate myself for doing this. My parents' words kept recalling repeatedly in my ears, I can hear their voices sound over and over again. I wished I had listened to them, I wished I never agreed to go with Alpha Nathan. Now it's me, living the hell of a traumatic life. When they said Alpha Nathan isn't as calm and innocent as he looked, I thought they had said it out of their hatred for him, or because they despised him to the core. Now I am clearly seeing what they meant by the words. He isn't just wicked, he's more than heartless and ruthless. I was made to scrub the hallway from the start to the end, and it's almost like

Claire's POV. The pain increased and he continued, I wished I had listened to my parents, I really wished I wasn't adamant or rebellious, I would have been with my parents right now maybe eating dinner and laughing on the table, my parents were good at making exciting conversations even though my father is an Alpha that never stopped him from showering my mother with love, it was evident to the pack that they both loved each other, it was more like a fairy tale, I thought my life would just be like that, perfect!. Perfect, with my prince charming, my mate, why was the moon goddess doing this to me?This was the worst punishment I could go through. I was defiant sometimes but never rude. I always respect my elders and even minions. What sin did I ever commit? Wallowing in self-pity and painful thoughts was just a way to stop feeling pain but I was wrong, he wasn't stopping anytime soon, I wanted to struggle but he was strong, I didn't expect less from an Alpha, his fangs or nails wer

Claire's POV. The broken pieces of the plate pierced my skin, I moaned and tears escaped from my eyes. I wanted to be strong and heal fast like other wolves but unfortunately I can't transform, I don't have any interaction with my wolf, it had made me so vulnerable now, I didn't feel this way back in my pack, I was accepted, never judged by anyone, love was what everyone showed me, I won't ever stop regretting being disobedient to my father. "I didn't… mean to break the plate I am… sorry" I stuttered, choking my tears back. "Will you fucking get yourself from the floor?" She yelled at the top of her voice. I didn't fail to notice that she kept repeating a certain word in almost all her sentences and that is 'Get', she kept saying it and or was becoming more irritable. "Are you deaf?" I groaned and raised myself up from the floor, my hand touched my bruised face, the right cheek she had slapped had turned red, it was stinging like a scorpion's bite.my hand remained on my face, I
