ALPHA DERRICK'S POV"Alpha Derrick. I thought you would never grace my homestead with your presence. It's a pleasure." Alpha Clark said to me."I am in no mood. A lot has been going wrong in your pack." I said to him,"My pack?" He asked, looking totally confused about what was happening.I was actually beginning to grow angry with all their drama of ignorance as I already knew deep within that they were all aware of everything. I mean, who would have such a large field of wolfsbane on their shores and pretend not to know? Whatever his reactions right now would tell me all I needed to know about him."Yes. Your pack has been committing atrocities. I would be calling for a meeting with all the packs." I said to him,"But Alpha Derrick, I am still at loss with whatever you're trying to say to me. What is this that my pack is guilty of and I promise you, I shall make certain it is tackled." He said to me,So he wants to play ball, eh?"And if you cannot handle it?" I asked him."Then I

CLARA'S POV"Sleeping?" I heard his voice in my head and nearly jumped. It was dark already after all. I had fallen asleep after missing the dinner as we made it back late. Grace and I had decided that we were going to get something from her snack packs. A good number of cookies and we were off to bed.I had actually been in the middle of a beautiful dream when his voice in my head called. It had been a little hard to tell a dream from reality but alas, I opened my eyes and sat up. It was dark now as the lights were off. Nevertheless, I turned on my side lamp and squinted my eyes as I stared at the time on my alarm.01:23?Was Derrick kidding me? Least he forgets, I do have school. "Yes. Took you long enough." I said to him,"Apologies but you must come now. I need to see you." He said to me,"What is it?" I asked him."I'm in front of your door." He responded."My door? Are you crazy? You cannot enter the female dormitory. That's forbidden." I said to him,"I know." He responded."

CLARA'S POVI looked up at her but had absolutely nothing to say."Clara, did you hear me?" Grace asked me."Yeah, what?" I asked her."We need to talk. There are things I must explain to you." She went on to say."Yeah. Things like how long you were planning on keeping me in the dark?" I asked her as I stretched out on my bed."Clara, it's not as you think." She dared to say."Of course. It cannot be as I think because I thought we were best friends and we keep no secrets." I said to her,"Of course we are. We are best friends. We keep no secrets." She responded.I scoffed."Then I plead that you tell me, truth ambassador, is this the first time you snuck out this way?" I asked her.She was shocked obviously as I was staring now as I laid on the bed, directly at her."Clara?" She called me with a gasp."Grace?" I called her back."You're seriously going to be this way?" She asked me."Are you intentionally averting from what I asked?" I threw the million dollar question at her."Fine

ARMAND'S POVI had waited for the elders to return with their decision. I have no idea but I was actually concerned about Orlando and how he might have to force my hand. He had been on my neck, breathing down hard. Right now, the only thing on my mind was to get my hands on him and have him put in a coffin forever beside his friend. Who knows, I might actually sink that coffin someday and bring them eternity in pain. They would find themselves drowning over and over again until they have to cry to the damn silent gods to come to their aid.And then, their turmoil resumes again.Uncle Magnus ruined us. Why could they all not see that I was trying to build us up? Looking at the way out hunting has been dwindling as of recent and the rations of distasteful animal blood getting smaller, it would be just a matter of time before we starve.Most of our young vampires that were turned before the werewolves took hold of power had yet to have a taste of what human blood was like. They were not

CLARA'S POVI was obviously late. I looked around as I was clearly going hysterical at this point."Clara, we need to..." Clover said."She's not here... she's gone. It is all my fault." I responded instead."Clara, calm down. We can figure this out." She said to me,I could barely hear her at this point as my eyes were scanning the area. I sniffed the air but even her familiar perfume was nowhere to be found. I noticed someone was coming in and quickly, I grabbed her by the arm.She seemed frightened and I felt sorry for her but I needed to make sure Grace was safe."Get off me, you freak!" She shrieked."Grace, have you seen her?" I asked her."No! Get off!" She yelled as she peeled my hands off her. I would not fault her however because I understood they did not really like me.Fine. I would go around looking for her myself.I started around the school premises, everywhere I could think of but Grace was still nowhere to be found at the moment. I eventually was left with just one pl
