"How could you even bear to still stay in the same space as him after everything you went through at his hands? I would… If it were me, I would have… Arrrgh!" I yelled, turning red from my anger at the injustice. "So, imagine my fury when I noticed the old patterns with you, Baby. I literally lost my mind. I know how we were not in love at first, so it would be even easier for you two to bond and get obsessed with each other. I did not know what to do because we have a standing rule, that nobody ever talks about or mentions that entire ordeal." The Alpha King shook his head sadly. "I still fight so hard to get over everything that I lost when Attus betrayed me and slept with the first woman I ever loved. And. To think that Morrigan and everyone else tried to call my attention to the possibility of it and I turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to all of them. I was too in love to want to hear anything else. It started out exactly like the both of you always being seen together and spend
Even though the Alpha King and I had discussed everything conclusively, I had to take a chance and go for what I wanted out of my life. So I packed a bag, and my packing was my way of convincing myself that I wanted to take a chance on myself. I had betted on myself that I could be a good Luna, and now, it was time to face and resolve my past so that I could move on finally and find peace with myself. "I am going back to my parents' pack," I said simply to the Alpha King on my way to the bathroom to have my evening shower. He stopped tapping on the laptop on his work desk in front of him and turned to look at me. But I kept walking like I was not aware of his gaze. "I am not sure I heard exactly what you said, my love." He said, standing up and walking into the bathroom with me. I turned to look at him as I took my robe off and stepped into the jacuzzi. "Oh, I'm pretty sure that you heard me, Darling. You just want it to be that you did not hear right. But sadly for you at least, y
As my cab arrived at the castle, I was immediately struck by the blend of modern amenities and medieval charm. I paid the cab driver and lifted the tail of my red dress slightly from the floor, walking really with my head held high, my neck straightened and my back stiffened. I was ready to have fun and exact my revenge most beautifully and intriguingly. I made a grand and fashionably late entrance, letting my dress tail fall to the ground and walking majestically into the castle.The castle's exterior was majestic, with towering stone walls and turrets, but as I stepped inside, I was greeted by a modern foyer, complete with sleek marble floors and an art installation hanging from the ceiling. Every pair of the eyes in the form was trained on my silhouette. I artfully slipped a glass of wine from a waiter as I made my way further into the castle.Making my way through the castle, I discovered that every room had b
"Wolves! Stop her!" I heard behind me and I turned instantly, confused as to what was going on. Everyone in the ballroom had come outside and were all standing five steps above me watching as the guards circled me, trying to capture me. Jake stood in front of all the news-hungry people, telling his guards what to do."What are you doing?" I asked loudly, watching Jake in confusion."You are to be captured for treason, Clara Greyson," Jake ordered, and I chuckled in disbelief while watching the wolf guards with my peripheral vision.I closed my eyes, instantly changing from the dazed horny girl craving some TLC and hating herself for it to Xavier's Luna and a powerful wolf. There was a loud noise from the crowd when I shifted into my wolf form. I felt a surge of power throughout my body, and I felt my muscles contract. My eyes were bloodshot when I opened them again and looked aroun
Thomas and I set off following the Alpha King's directive. We made lot of pit stops while he made his way to save me from my own stubborn desire to exact a scandalous revenge on my parents."Is that my picture on the papers?" I asked Thomas at one of our pit stops and he looked at me warily."I don't think you should see this," he said while hiding the newspaper in his hand behind him. I looked hard at him, sensing my anxiety already starting to get the better of me."No. I want to see it!" I insisted, getting up from the chair in the small room and grabbing the paper from his hands.Just as I had seen, there was a picture of me in the arms of Jake at the rooftop terrace of the castle.My mouth went open and my hands started shaking as I rushed to the middle page that had the story in it. Jake had definitely blackmailed me in order to destroy
My comment about Attus and Morrigan was below the belt, and I cussed myself quietly for saying that. " Okay, Clara. Okay." The Alpha King said finally."What does that mean?" I asked."You are a whore, but are you also daft? It means save yourself, Bitch!" He said angrily and ended the call.I stood looking at the burner for a while as tears rolled down my face. There I was again right at the centre of scared, abandoned and left to rot."We have to leave now, Miss. I am so sorry but someone kind of recognised you when we were coming in here, and I think Jake's wolves will be here to pick you up any moment." Thomas said, sounding hesitant. It was apparent that he did not want to intrude on my pain but he also felt that it was necessary that I got the information.I nodded, trying to compose myself. "Thank you, Thomas. Let's go." I said, grabbi
After the close shave and everything else that happened with it, I was too scared to actually leave the new safe house. Eventually with the help of Thomas, I got a burner and dialled Attus's number. He answered almost immediately like he was expecting the call."Hey," I said tentatively, wondering how things had gotten so weird and so strained between us."Clara? Is that really you C? Are you okay?" He called out immediately, and I bursted into tears. Hearing the concern and worry in his voice even when he was not my husband and had no business really caring about me that much was definitely too emotionally overwhelming for me. I could not stop the tears as I lowered myself onto the bed in the room and just kept crying with my face in my hand."Oh, Clara… What have they done to you, my darling?" He sounded so nearby, bad that made me even sadder. I felt like if I reached out my hand
"I watched him do wicked things to the people he claimed to love. He showed every sign of being exactly the kind of man that I was supposed to run as far away from as my legs could carry me. But every time he looked at me with lust or something akin to love, I felt myself melt. My stupid heart would fall at the sign of anything that looks like brutality because I guess my life experiences have taught me that men are best served cold and brutal." I chuckled lightly to myself, wallowing in self pity."So, when he came back acting all nice, I accepted him with wide open arms and a flutter in my belly. I am always begging and desperate for love even when I am in the midst of love in its purest form. Attus was the wrong one, but he loved, and he still loves me right. And what exactly can a girl do when the wrong one loves her right?" I looked over at Thomas, feeling a bit ill.He scoffed and looked away from me. "Talk to
