Clayton's POV The 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
Stephan's POV "No, Stephan, don't do it; don't give in to him; he lied, my love; he lied to you, she continued screaming.I heard scuffles and the breaking of things."Don't you dare hurt her," I threatened. My eyes blazed."You need to find Carli Stephan; he can find me.""They had him brainwashed into thinking that we killed his parents; if you can find him and convince him, he will help you," she screamed.I heard gunshots, and the line went flat.I screamed out of pain as I tried to mind-link her.I was scared to death hearing that shot.I was restless that I was not there."Little one, are you okay?" I screamed in my head."Please say something so that I will know that you are okay," I pleaded."I am in pain, my love, but I will be fine," she said to me."You have five minutes to tell me the truth William, or else I will start dropping dead bodies here," I threatened him."Do you worse, Stephan? You are going to regret not taking my offer," he boasted.I looked at my men a
Stephan's POVI woke up because I heard someone scream. I did not know how long I had slept.I was disoriented for a while. I looked up at the sky; it was dark as if smoke had covered it.My body was wet and cold. I moved my hands to touch the floor, and I noticed that the leaves there were wet too. It must be because of the dew.I pulled myself up to a sitting position and looked around.I was inside the forest; the whole place was covered with grass and tall trees.It must be the reason why sunlight cannot penetrate it.I used my wolf vision to look around.I noticed a little ray of sunshine shining somewhere within the forest.I followed the light till I got to where it was shining. My hands got to work, and I used them to push the grass blocking my way out of it.I walked out, looked around, and could not recognize where I was.I was sure that when I came to this place, I was unconscious.I wonder who brought me to this place."Stephan, where are you? We are losing." I heard a voi
Stephan's POV Continuation I watched baffled and frightened by what happened. The explosion pushed them back; they disappeared. I looked around, and ten thousand men were standing; some were on the left-hand side, while others were on the right-hand side.The alpha, who stood at the front from the left-hand side, spoke first."Hi Stephan, it is good to see that you are still in one piece."I was so happy to see him.I could use all the help I can get."Crescent pack warriors at your service, Alpha Stephan.""You are welcome, too, alpha of the Crescent Pack.""What is happening, Stephan? What are these?" he asked me."I don't know how to explain, but they are half beast, half werewolf; all I know is that they are indestructible.""There must be something that can destroy them," he said to me."Yes, I have a plan.""What is the plan, Stephan? He persisted with his questions."I can only kill them if I cut their heads off of their bodies; the only way I can do that is if I can g
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
