CHAPTER 41FLASHBACK ( 19 years ago)Claire’s POVI was drinking coffee while watching television in our living room when my husband came home.“ We got a new mission. It is from Dad, he said that this mission is very important.” He said then took a sit beside me.“How important is it? Why do you look so serious? Haha “ I said jokingly, but he remained serious.“This will cost our lives if something goes wrong. Are you still in?” He answered with a worried face.“You know that I always put my life on the line in every mission right? Don’t worry, we will plan first before we move.” I said with a smile to assure him.“But, what will we get if we do this right and we succeed in this mission?” I added because the harder the mission the better the prize.“ My father will make me the new leader of our mafia clan, This is his last test before he passes the position to me.”Wow. That’s a piece of great news. I know that Kennedy will be happy if he is chosen as their heir. From what I know

(Continuation of the Flashback)Claire's POV"What do you think you are doing?!" The man in the middle of the pack shouted.He looked like someone who had high authority in this place. He looked different from the others."We are only doing this because of an order," Kennedy answered then he put down the unconscious man and I felt that he was getting ready for a battle.I don't think that is a good idea, because there are almost 20 of them and I don't think they are an easy opponent. I was getting nervous because of the way they looked at us. They looked like hungry wolves looking at their food." You chose the wrong place to do that. No one can touch my pack " The man said angrily."You must be the alpha of this pack," Kennedy said."Yes, I think you did your research before coming here. There are only a few humans who know our existence." The man called Alpha answered.I wonder what an Alpha is.He is getting ready to attack us his appearance is starting to change to a werewolf."Ru

KENNEDY'S POV- CONTINUATION OF FLASHBACK-I don't know what the h*ck is wrong with this guy. Why would we need to talk one on one? We are enemies and I don't think that it will be resolved by talking."Who sent you here and why did you try to take one of my people?" He asked when he stopped walking.We are now here in the middle of the woods. I can't help myself from worrying about Claire I hope that she is fine." I can't give you the details about that. Are you going to kill me here?" I asked him directly to the point.I think my chance of winning against him is low because I don't have any weapons with me right now. They confiscated it earlier.This is bad."No, I will spare you for now. Be thankful that Marco, the man you tried to kidnap is safe so I will forgive you." He answered. But why? Who is in his right mind who will forgive someone who is not even apologizing? Is he nuts?"Why?" I can't help myself but to ask."And why do we need to come here to talk? Is there anything m

(PRESENT TIME)SOMEWHERE IN THE CAPITAL SOMEONE'S POV"Madam, I just confirmed that the leaders of the Shaun clan, Kennedy and his wife Claire are not in the City." My secretary reported.I guess the information that I got is right. They never leave the city together. This is the first time.But who sent those tips? What would they get for helping me? I guess that is not important for now. I should do what I need to do first."Do you know how long they will be gone and do you know where they are?" I asked him before I took a sip of my glass of wine." I am still gathering information, madam. All I know is they will be gone for like a week or more."He answered."A week is enough to execute my plan," I said with a smirk plastered on my face.This is the perfect time to turn the tables.

KIERA'S POV"That's the real reason why you are here Kiera. " My mom said after she finished narrating the time when she and Dad went on a mission here at Hallow City."Wow, Mom I didn't know that you already know about werewolves and witches. That is cool." I said while smiling I don't want to be angry with them, and I don't think that they are the ones who are at fault."Are you not mad Kiera? We deceived you and we lied to you. You are here and you are going to be the Alpha's bride, because of us. If only we succeed in our mission, you will not be here right now." My mom said and the tears started to come down on her cheeks."Shhh, mom. I am doing great here and I accepted his proposal with my own decision. It's not your fault and I do not regret coming here." I answered then hugged her.What I said is true. I am starting to like this place. I found new friends here like Fiona and Lucas. Even though a lot of problems are happening, I still like this place. "Thank you Kiera for y
