There was a knock at the door. It interrupted them. All eyes turned to the door. When it was opened, Claire found Mia against the door. There was a troubled look on her face. She knew there was something and the women in the room could feel it too."What's wrong?" Claire asked as she came out of her seat. She walked towards Mia in slow calculative steps, afraid there was someone or something outside with her. Something bad. Mia ran a hand through her hair. The look on her face remained. She looked towards the other women in the room. Noticing the same look they had on as Claire, she wanted to say it out loud. Realising Mia would want to tell her in private, Claire excused herself from the room. They were on the balcony. Claire raised her eyebrows. She meant to tell her to start talking.Mai sighed. She didn't want to disturb the meeting. But what she came with was something of utmost importance. "There's another witch here to see you." She broke the news to Claire. The news did no
Dalton looked at the trio, a small smile playing on his lips. He could understand the reason they were being protective of her. He knew they thought he wanted to harm her.He still did not know what came over him. It had been like he was under some kind of spell. One moment he was in his house and the next, he was walking down the path to the crescent moon pack.He wanted to find answers. And here he was, the answer staring at him in the face.He watched her face form into a scowl. "Answer her. What brings you here." The woman from his coven barked at him.But that only put more smiles on his face. He could take on the two women at once. But Claire, he doubted it. The powers within her forced him to avert his gaze. Kendrick must be a fool to think he can take down Claire.Claire was inexperienced in wielding her powers. He could see so from the twitch of her fingers. They twitched like there was a form of electrical energy passing through them. He could only imagine how it would feel
Claire opened her eyes slowly. She was greeted by the sunlight that was streaming into the room. Her head throbbed with such intensity. A low moan escaped her parted lips. She tried to recollect her thoughts. But they came out in a jumbled mess. Sitting up, she liked the room in which she was placed in. It was her room. And it reminded her of Alexander.How long had she been out? Memories of the previous came back slowly. How had she lost consciousness? She remembered Abigail taking her to help with her room. And that was the last she remembered. A voice startled her. "Hello." She jumped out of her skin. Her breaths were coming out in small puffs. Had Kendrick found a way to get to her? But it seemed unlikely. The voice she had heard was that of a female."Show yourself." She mustered up the courage and called out.A small laugh broke through her fears. After a while, she realized the voice was coming from within her. No, it could not be! She could scarcely believe it. It was her wo
Claire looked out of the window. The house was so quiet it was deafening. Since she had gotten her wolf, she could hear more clearly. She was trying to get used to it. But sometimes she forgot about her abilities.She needed some time. She knew Abigail didn't know she had woken up. And she also needed to talk to her about the crystals.She got up from her bed and walked towards the kitchen. She was so hungry. She had forgotten to tell her maid to get her food. And she knew it had escaped her maid also. So she had no choice but to get it herself.She made her way to the kitchen in small steps. It was so long since she had walked these halls without having to think about the dangers that were looming ahead of her. She lived the moment.She remembered the first time she had walked into the pack. She was stupefied. It was like a dream come true working for one of the most prestigious packs. It had been brimming with activities. But now, the pack looked lifeless with all the men and young
Kendrick paced in his room. He could not understand what was going on. He had gone to see Dalton only to find his room locked.Somehow, he wasn't able to get into Claire's dream the day before. Something was blocking him. And he wanted to find out which. Time was no longer at his side. The day of the prophecy was getting closer with each passing second and he didn't want to meet the day unprepared. His castle was so quiet. He didn't like the silence that enveloped it. It made his skin cringe. He left his room and made his way to a large hall where most witches of the cover usually stay to practice magic.He met some witches practicing magic. As soon as they saw him, they stopped what they were doing immediately. Fear reflected in their eyes. He liked what he saw. Yes. They all should fear him.He wasn't something they could relax around. An eerie smile made his way to his lips. He looked closely, looking for a person. But the more he looked, the angrier he became. He could not find t
The girl had turned into a crying mess on the floor. She didn't know what had come over her. She held the older girl for support but was surprised by what she saw. She was crying.She had believed her to be a strong girl. But her thoughts changed rapidly at that moment. She was so scared she could not stop the hiccups that were escaping her. A look from Kendrick got her to put her hands over her mouth to stifle the sound but they came out irrespective of what she did.She cursed herself at that moment from the moon and back. Why was she so soft? A little stare from the king had got her into a crying mess. Although her senior was also crying she did it silently, one would not know unless they looked closer.Her position on the floor was embarrassing. With great difficulty, she stood to her feet. She wobbled on rubber legs. She put a hand on the other girl's shoulder but she shrugged it off.She knew the reason she did that. She was to blame for their predicament. What they were talking
Claire lounged in the chair. It was comfy. Her eyes began to shut close. Susan stuck to her word. She hadn't offered her any food. It wasn't like she would have eaten. But just for the sake of courtesy. She turned in her chair in boredom. She had nothing to do except to stare out of the window. The house which was given to them by Alexander was cozy and small for two People.It was well furnished. The chairs had a green colour which was the same colour as the curtains. A fireplace was burning with coal on the right side. On the left, was a bookshelf which contained only two books Intrigued, Claire went closer to the shelf to examine the books. They looked familiar to her. But she could not remember where she had seen it before.Like a light bulb that went off in her head, Claire remembered where she had seen it. Alexander had a copy in his library. It was exactly the same. She had seen it in his office also.Thinking about it now, the book was something that she needed to know the c
One of the crystals Claire talked about were found in her coven. It was with Kendrick to be precise. And the other which Claire had held, she had no idea where it was. But since Claire said it was with her, it means it's in the pack.She looked at Claire. Her eyes shone. "It's with Kendrick." Abigail finally said looking sad. "I understand you might want to go there to retrieve it. But that'll be leading you into the Lion's den. And I wouldn't let you. None of us will. We can do the remaining two."Claire could not think. What would the moon goddess give her such a daunting task. It was cruel. She wanted to yell at the universe, telling them she was tired. She just wanted to fall into a deep sleep and only wake up when the war is over.War was inevitable. She knew. But she hoped in her heart it wouldn't come to that. If she had to choose, she'd choose to give the task to someone else.She slowly came out from her day dream and considered what Abigail said. " What about the other cryst
