All Chapters of The Human Among Wolves: Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

(Clara’s POV) There is a quiet kind of pain that comes from realizing you’ve spent years chasing a life that was never meant for you. That was exactly how I was feeling right now. Even though Rex had always made it clear to me that it was never going to be me… There was just this little hope I was holding on to. How silly of me to think I could fight love with that hope. How silly. The acceptance came the moment he said Lily was going to be his Luna. I had heard him say it was never going to be me too many times, but I never accepted it. Today… I finally let go of that hope I had been holding on to. I pushed through the crowd as fast as I could, wiping angrily at the tears running down my face. I just wanted to leave. I wanted to disappear. “Clara!” I heard my father’s voice behind me. I ignored him. “Clara!” His footsteps grew louder until he caught up with me just as I reached our car. I was trying to be as fast as possible, but I guess I wasn’t fast enough. He gra

Ever since Rex and I became intimate, it felt like my body wanted to be with him more and more.At first, I thought it was just because it was my first time and we’d really had a good time.Then I blamed Nova.Now…I wasn’t sure anymore.It had only been a day since I’d last seen him, yet it already felt like forever.I missed him.Every little thing reminded me of him.Even Amber had caught me smiling from ear to ear while we were driving home from the feast. She had been looking for me everywhere, completely unaware that I’d fallen fast asleep in Rex’s arms. By the time Sebastian found us, the feast was already over, and everyone was getting ready to leave.Luckily for me, he didn’t barge into the room.Our clothes were still scattered all over the floor.“Is Lily with you? Her mom has been looking everywhere for her.”That was all he’d said after knocking on the door.Since I was already awake, I’d scrambled to get dressed as quickly as possible.Eventually, I made it back to Amber

Clara walked away from Lily’s house feeling as though a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders. The conversation had gone nothing like she expected. Lily hadn’t yelled at her or mocked her.For the first time, Clara felt like she had seen the side of Lily that everyone else saw—the reason she was so loved. Lily had a meek personality, one that couldn’t be forced.It was simply who she was.As she drove home, she kept thinking that now that she had taken one honest step toward becoming someone she could live with, it didn’t erase everything she had done… but it was a beginning.She hoped she could fix things with time.Clara arrived at the gates of her house, but nobody was there to open the manual gates for her. She parked her car outside and walked toward the entrance.As soon as she stepped into the compound, she glanced toward the doorman’s post.He wasn’t there.“Take those ones outside!”She heard her father’s voice thunder from the upstairs balcony.That was when she fina

Lily’s POV“Have you heard about what’s going on ?”“ No, what is it ?” A group of girls stood huddled together near the hallway windows. I wasn’t usually interested in hallway gossip, but this one seemed different. Everywhere I walked, people were whispering, stopping mid-conversation whenever someone else passed by.Now that I was close enough to hear them, I pretended to admire the flower pots lining the corridor.“Beta Liam kicked his daughter out of the house.”“What?”“He chased Clara out, that’s what everyone’s been saying, some say she’s being lurking on the streets…”My eyes widened.That couldn’t be true.I immediately lost interest.Raven Academy had a habit of creating stories out of thin air. By lunchtime, someone would probably claim Clara had been disowned, joined the rogues, and become Queen of the North.I wasn’t falling for another unverified rumor.Besides…I had something much more important on my mind.Earlier that morning, I had met with my HWS tutor, who had h

Rose had packed breakfast for Clara before leaving for the Academy. It wasn’t much, just a small loaf of bread, some fresh fruit and a bottle of juice. She had planned to stop by the cottage first to make sure Clara had something to eat before classes began.The night before, she had gone to drop off the spare uniform, but Clara had told her she still couldn’t come to school that day. She had asked Rose not to worry about her.Before leaving, Rose had noticed how red Clara’s eyes were from crying. She had been sitting quietly by the window, staring outside, and somehow… that image had stayed with Rose all night.She picked up the basket and was about to head for the door when her eyes landed on the old clock hanging above the kitchen entrance.“Oh no…”She looked at the time again.“I’m late.”If she stopped by the cottage now, she would definitely miss the first lesson. She had already dropped some fruits off for Clara the previous night, so she hoped that would be enough.Rose stood
