"Do you know any of them?"    Clarisse furrowed her eyebrows in confusion "Why would I know them or anyone in this place?"    "They're looking for you" it was an accusation. The way he looked at her while saying it made it clear that he was doubting her. Though she didn't know why or when he started having doubts towards her. She quickly relieved what had happened before they came out. Aside from his girlfriend attacking them, nothing else had happened. Why was he suspicious of her all of a sudden?    "That doesn't mean I know them"    "So are we doing this the easy or the hard way?" Another man asked getting up from his seat.    "I prefer doing it the easy way. You can ask whatever you want to know, I will reply honestly. No need to start a fight" she glanced sideways trying to see if there were mor

                    "You look so much better"  "It turns out sleeping in Reed's arms is all I needed" Clarisse said making sure everyone in the dining room heard her. She was coming down together with Twila and Adrian and hadn't expected anyone to still be in the dining room since it was a bit late but what do you know? That Dane was there. Pretending to eat when in reality, it was clear she was waiting for Reed.  "So you guys spent the night together again?" Adrian asked in an overly dramatic tone. She nodded her head vigorously.   "I bet it's because you were injured" Dane scoffed from where she was sitting. Clarisse threw her a dirty look.  "True. But he didn't have to hold me in his arms"  Twila tugged her hand "What is wrong with you today? You promised we'd have breakfast real quick then leave"&

"Deep breaths. Breath in, breath out. Don't think about anything else. Just listen to my voice. Concentrate on it"  Clarisse did what he told her. She tried to keep her mind clear but it was easier said than done. Especially when it felt as if she was on the brink of death. Bursts of tearing pain pulsed through her entire body. Her head felt heavy and she could feel dizziness starting to kick in. Panic slowly took over as, for a moment, a way out of the pain began to seem more and more unrealistic. She closed her eyes and relaxed her muscles. Then took a deep breath, and then another. It was her best attempt to regain her composure. She felt Reed's hands on her face, forcing her to look at him. When she lifted her eyes, she found that his were red. When had they changed?  "Calm down. I'm right here with you. We'll get through this together" he told her running his hands up and down her arms. Hands she'd bruised because she was in t

                 Adrian tried to get close to them but the wolf snarled at her "How... What happened? How is she a wolf? Reed, I'm talking to you!"  He raised his hands, as if he was about to explain but dropped them at the last minute. Because her connection to him was deeper than that of normal family members, she could almost feel what he felt. Shock, fear, regret. The shock and fear were understandable. After all, no one knew Clarisse was a werewolf or the reason she'd hidden her identity. At first she'd been sure Clarisse hadn't killed the warriors. She couldn't have done it because she wasn't strong enough. Granted she'd managed to knock out two rebels back at her house but that had been out of luck. They'd underestimated her and she'd taken advantage of it. However, if she was a wolf then there was a possibility she could have killed them. Perhaps Reed was regretting not finding out who she was sooner.&nbs

             They were childhood friends who did everything together and called themselves the three musketeers. The two brothers took it upon themselves to protect the girl who always tagged along with them. Their parents thought their friendship was adorable. Everyone did. As they grew up, both started having feelings for her but as expected in a love triangle, she chose one. What she didn't know was that the one she rejected was her true mate. Problems arose when they first shifted and their wolves recognized each other as mates. The bond isn't something that can be ignored. She made a choice and that's where it all began. The boyfriend who was left behind couldn't accept it. She loved him. Why would she suddenly choose his brother over him? What about their relationship?    Things got really bad between the brothers. It didn't help that they were princes with one set to be the king. Originally, the girl's mate was supp
