Clarissa's POVIt has been two days since Ray found the laboratory.We made plans on how to attack the laboratory.I will go to Moonlight Pack and distract my grandfather so that we can access the laboratory.I was not comfortable going there blind.I wish we could talk to Carli to know if we are to expect any surprises from them.I will try to talk to him in secret.Before we started this journey, Stephan made sure that everyone swore to keep it a secret.I know why he did that; he knew that Liam would tell Miranda, and she would in turn warn her family. "This is a top-secret mission; no one is to know about it," he warned."We will infiltrate the moonlight pack, overshadow it, and bring it down.""Swear that you won't say anything to your mate" Stephan asked him.He agreed to do that.We arrived at night, this time without Gamma William.Stephan needed him at the front line when the whole thing began; that was what he said to me.The whole place was filled with his men when we ar
Clarissa's POV "Clarissa, What are you doing here?" Alpha William asked."Why did you come in here?" he continued."Why are you on the floor? he questioned me.I tried to speak, but my mouth refused to bring out a sound.Fear crept into my mind.I already know how this is going to play out if I am not able to come up with a tangible story to cover up why I was in there.I grabbed his hand. I wanted to steady myself. I stood up, calculating in my mind what to say to him so that he wouldn't be suspicious of me."What are you doing here, child?""You have not answered my question yet.""I am sorry, grandfather; I came in here looking for you.""Why are you on the floor? Did you just call me grandfather?" He asked, looking surprised.I pretended like I did not hear the second question; I did not want to repeat what I said earlier so that I wouldn't gag."I thought I saw something; I am sorry, alpha." "I felt a chill on my body; I froze, and from there I fell." "What did you s
Stephan's POVI had to go see my friend Alpha Tyler; he had promised me earlier that if I needed his help, all I had to do was tell him when I needed it.I know that if we were to attack Alpha William's secret hideout, we would need all the help we could get.He told me that he was able to get me a few men, but I wasn't bothered because I knew that the few men he gave me would be enough to defeat our enemies.I was busy with him; that was why Clarissa was not able to pass through at first.She pushed through our bond; I felt her, and when I opened the bond, she was already out.I could sense her distress, and that scared me.I quickly concluded my meeting with Alpha Tyler and rushed out.Then I heard her distress call."Stephan, help me."I wish I knew where my gamma is, I would have sent him.I knew that I might not get to her on time that was why I pleaded with her to stay back till I got to that place.I felt that it would be safer and easier to pick her up from there since it w
Clayton's POVThe moment I saw Clarissa on the floor and the look she had on her face, I knew instantly that she had heard everything.It is funny that she is trying to play it off.I needed to play along to make her relaxed, and I could watch her.I noticed that she was shaking out of shock.Since she wants to play, let's play.When she mentioned her mother's death, I knew that she was trying to divert my attention.I decided to fake it; she was so convinced by my acting.I pretended that I had gone into my room while I stood at the door and watched her.I heard Carli questioning her.Even though Carli kept interrogating her, she still hesitated to answer him.I saw her leave, and I knew instantly where she was going.I went inside for a few minutes so that I could get ready.I sent my men out immediately to follow her.When I came outside, I saw that Carli had a troubled look on his face."Where is Clarissa?" I asked him.He frowned at me and answered me nonchalantly."I don't know;
Clarissa POVI looked through the window and listened to make sure no one was coming. I quickly gathered a few of my belongings, threw them in the bag, and quickly made a run for them.The moon goddess knew why he gave me this opportunity to escape this hell hole, and I will use it effectively. I practically ran down the stairs, grateful for my strength and stamina, even though I was only five feet tall.The building was a four-story building that was painted gold and purple, for reasons best known to Alpha Clay.Once I got to the last stairs, I paused and waited to hear the movement of the guards. My stepfather stationed guards to make sure I didn't go anywhere since he just brought me out of the prison cell where he locked me after I fought with Miranda because she spit in my food. It was like riding a rollercoaster living with my family, from starvation to humiliation because I was much smarter than her daughter and more beautiful, like the pack members
I opened my eyes. I was in some sort of moving cage, and my legs were tied up because I could not move them. I managed to sit up and then looked around. I was in a silver cage, and we were being moved by someone. I recognized one of the men in the cage with me—the one who told me about Supreme Pack earlier. I coughed, bringing their attention to me. "Where are we going? Who took us?" He scoffed. "How long are you going to keep on the pretense, Clarissa Clay? You and your pack members are all liars." I was about to apologize for getting them caught, but then the other man said. "I told you, Robert, not to take the money and agree to show them where the girl is because they looked like they would not keep the end of the bargain." "This is all because of this stupid girl; I am now a prisoner. Her pack members are murderers; they can all burn in hell." I burst into laughter. "And you are not? A liar and murderer, you call me and my family, but you took money and agreed to sell me t
I was shocked to the marrow; everyone was looking at me. I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me. I could feel Stephan's brother smirking at that asshole. I imagined that I would be dragged outside and probably shot to death or even killed for throwing up on the almighty Alpha. The whole place was as silent as a graveyard.I wanted to cry out of fear of what would happen to me. I opened my mouth to plead for mercy when a blow landed on my face. I fell as blood oozed from my lips. I looked up at the person who landed the blow on me.It was no other person but my mother; she grabbed my hair and cursed at me. "You insolent, stupid, useless child, when will you ever learn to behave? I should take you out and have your tongue cut out for your insolence."she said as she grabbed my chin and squeezed with force.She kneeled to apologize out of fear, as did everybody, for they did not know what their faith would be with what I did.I heard her say, "I am sorry for the disgrace, A
I stood up from the ground and lay on the bed. I did not have any appetite to eat, and I certainly did not care to sit near the arrogant wuss.I won't ever forgive them; the final straw was them giving me away.After all, I did to get her to like me, she still treated me like a piece of sh*t.I rubbed my hands in my face, cleaning the snort and tears.I wanted to take a shower, but there was no way in hell I was going naked inside this room, mate or not.I lay on the bed. I was half asleep when water rained on me.I jerked up, shocked and confused by what was happening. My clothes were soaked to the brim.I looked up to see the culprit so that I could unleash hell on the person. I saw him glaring at me, the bucket in his hands. I was beyond mad.I wanted to slap his stupid handsome face, but knowing where I was and who he was, I would rather not."I ordered you to eat, but you defiled my order; how dare you!" he roared.Okay, who the hell does this asshole think he is to order me ar
